The Eternal Family



"Old man, are you an idiot or just dumb? You have been jumping to conclusions quite a lot," said Ace, his face dark. "I can let him be my retainer, and I plan to do just that. But leave your settlement be? Hahaha, I am not a demon, what do you think I am going to do with your tiny Village?"

Blueflame stayed silent.

Ace continued, his voice filled with irritation, "What you think I want is just Rome and Raina, but no, I truly don't care about them that much to go out of my way and this. What I want is you people not knowing about me at all. Me having been here should have been a secret and it will be a secret."

Earlier, Blueflame had jumped to the conclusion that he just wanted Rome and Raina, whereas, that was to him a side issue. What he really cared about, however, was his identity being known. The problem, in the end, was, Blueflame just kept on thinking in his own world.

"So I say old man, don't overcomplicate things here, you either become a slave or I tell my Grandma to pay a visit and remove all the memories about me from your head. And I hope you know how valuable a Stage 5's time is. And of course, how bad it can be for yourself if you have memory extracted." They becoming his slave was much better than Valeria wasting her time and such complications.

Ace then stayed silent. Now it was time for them to choose. He was quite sure they only had those 2 choices, and that they won't dare to harm him.

Silence stayed for a while longer and Old Man Blueflame sighed and then kneeled on the ground, "Blueflame greets his majesty. Please accept his servitude," he said weakly.

Ace turned towards the Old Woman, she also sighed and kneeled, "Old Flame greets your majesty, Please accept our servitude."

Ace then glanced at Bamboo. He was okay with it if this man didn't kneel, he just wanted his secrets to be a secret and not end up biting him on the back. He didn't care about feeling superior.

Bamboo silently gritted his teeth and knelt, "Bamboo Grass bows to your majesty. Please accept his servitude."

He knew what offending royalty meant. It meant annihilation.

Sighing inside at all these things, Ace nodded. "I accept your servitude."

Now he could just tell them to go to the Royal Castle and they would be thoroughly controlled by Valeria, she would do all the complicated backdrop things, they can't be anything except slaves. He could have done that through sheer force, but this was better.

And,

Royal court and Valeria did have methods by which to control slaves, like a poison that needs an antidote every 7 days, or heart eater ants that have been tamed by Gu ages ago to be turned into slave collars. One of those methods set up on them and they would be his loyal slaves.

But to his surprise, his right hand itched slightly and light flickered out of it, like a snake, three blue thread-like things flashed and wrapped around the three slaves' hands.

Ace blinked and the other three blinked alongside, 'What just happened?'

They were confused.

…

Harry, seated inside his castle room, training to get Jade Transformation to work on his skin, looked at his clone's status. Its threads went down from 9999 to 9996. Three at once.

He then looked at three new names below the Clone's Name:

[Eternal Underlings]

Blueflame - Slave.

Old Flame - Slave.

Bamboo - Slave.

Harry couldn't help but chuckle, it was indeed true, what Eternal Family won't have servants? It was an integral part of a Great Family.

This added feature got rid of many, many troubles.

And it was so overpowered, can I just make the King agree to be my slave for fun and would he become one then?

It opened up doors.

So, were all the Harmony Tattoos filled with such things that help fulfill the End Goal? He wanted to see Valeria's Tattoo in-depth.

But for now, Training came first.

…

Ace looked at the three slaves with Burning, furious eyes. He had at first wanted to enlist them as his slaves and send them to the castle, and he planned to do the same with many others that his clone will come to meet on his journey. But this slavery part of his Gift. It made him completely change his mind!

But did it actually work though?

He had the same capability to sense them from the distance as Lilly and Emma had with his main body. But it wasn't anything wholesome this time, he felt as if he was hugging these ugly men and an old unknown granny.

He had to remove that somehow…

But did slavery work?

After all, he had given no rules, no regulations that they couldn't break. On what basis were they his slaves?

The three people looked at him, their hearts slightly afraid. What is this sorcery?

They felt warm as if in a hug.

They had never heard of Harmony tattoos before.

Ace squinted and ordered, "Bamboo, tell me your deepest secret."

Bamboo looked at Ace, and squinted his own eyes, 'Slave of my body for sure, but fuck you brat, my deepest secret? Keke.' He wasn't going to tell shit. He was barely not pouncing and killing the boy.

He stayed silent.

Ace waited, but nothing happened. Doesn't it turn their minds to slaves?

Disappointed, Ace pondered and then said, "Bamboo, my slave, I order you to never disobey my orders."

Bamboo looked at the chief and then at Granny Old Flame and reluctantly nodded to Ace, it is not as if he had to truly keep by his words.

The thread in Bamboo's hands flickered dimly, no one even noticed.

In the system, Below Bamboo's name, a new order was added:

Never disobey Ace Isiah's words.

His heart skipping a Beat, Ace said, "Bamboo, tell me your deepest and darkest secret."

Before Bamboo could think anything, his mouth spoke by itself.
