The father couldn't help but sigh as he saw what his son had become, after raising him with much care. He didn't even find it difficult to accept his son's laziness, let alone accept that his son was a sadist with extreme difficulty. It was a despicable trait, but with some monitoring from his father to prevent him from delving deeper into it, there wouldn't be any problem.

What he couldn't accept and agree to was seeing his son grow into unreasonable inclinations that could harm the Delaviga family's existence.

Anyway, the head of the family didn't know of any easy way to rid his son of that trait. Instead, he knew many ways to correct his son's deviation, but they were all too difficult for the delicate young man. Due to his excessive concern for his son and his negative impact on him, the head of the family didn't take any steps to bring his son back to what he believed was right.

Nevertheless, he found an opportunity to make his son appreciate the financial situation he was in and take pride in it. Perhaps this could be the first step in returning his son to the right path.

Finally, the boy complied with his father's request after some negotiations and threats that no one else but doudrian would perceive as threats. Following this compliance, he had to meet with the worker who wanted to borrow money from his father.

Since he couldn't express his anger towards his father to avoid exhausting his threats, he had no choice but to take it out on the poor worker to vent his anger.

He had already decided to find any reason to refuse lending money to this man, and of course, after giving him false hope, he would make it difficult for him, adding to his worries, and then end it with some final words from his sadistic play. This was the plan he intended to execute, or at least he thought he would.

The father was not oblivious to the fact that his son would try to take revenge on the worker to make him leave his beloved laziness for the sake of a foolish sick child. He didn't need to hear it directly from his son or see signs of it. Years of parenting experience were enough to understand his son's hidden motives.

He was supposed to do something to prevent his son's plan from succeeding so that his plan would proceed smoothly, but in reality, he didn't intend to take any action against his son's plans because he simply knew that his plan would likely fail.

Then the worker entered, summoned by the father to meet with his son, who would handle the lending process. The father observed his son, who was in a bad mood and seemed annoyed by this additional task. He noticed the sudden change in his son's aura, charged with refusal and laziness, transforming gradually into happiness. Dorian quickly tried to hide it from his father.

The worker, or the needy father, was a mature man, fully developed, with a masculine physique and handsome. He possessed the charm of attractiveness and maturity, and with this, the head of the family was convinced that such individuals could charm many women... and a few men... Unfortunately, his son was one of those few.

This made the head of the family sure that there was no need for his intervention to know that his son's plan was doomed to fail.

The father saw how smoothly the conversation between his son and the worker went, despite the worker's initial tension, thinking he would address a young man in a bad mood. But he was surprised by the sudden change in mood and welcomed such surprises that came in favor.

The conversation didn't last long before they reached an agreement on how the lending process would proceed, including the amount of money to be borrowed and the delivery date. Except for the collateral that the lender would take as security. They agreed to visit worker's home to see if there was anything worth mortgaging to complete the transaction.

Dorian ordered the palace servants to prepare the carriage for him to go to the worker's house. The worker was pleased with the enthusiasm shown by the young man. Therefore, he asked to go to his house before Dorian left, so he could arrive before him and welcome him to his humble home, only to be surprised by the humility and generosity of this young man, who asked the worker to accompany him in the carriage. This was a rare opportunity for him, one he wouldn't miss. Thus, he agreed without hesitation, but after drowning the young man in words of praise.

The father watched from the window of the room overlooking the palace entrance as the family carriage left the palace, carrying Dorian and the worker, who had a bright smile on his face after entering this place sad. Would that smile, showing his teeth, also appear on his face if he knew the hidden reason behind Dorian's good treatment? The head of the family couldn't help but sigh, wishing that his decision to leave this matter in his son's hands was correct.

He had his own calculations, in which he took into account various considerations to align with reality, all of which he wanted to ultimately benefit his son and then the worker. However, he didn't know if the results would be as he wished.

Most likely, he would get what he wanted, but he knew that even with his experience, he couldn't guarantee the outcome he desired. In the end, life was full of unexpected events that defied calculations.

...
The journey in the carriage from the palace to the worker's house wasn't very long, but it was enough for the young man to open up some topics with the older man, who welcomed his participation. However, he soon noticed that there was a reservedness in the young man's speech, which made him feel uneasy and another uncomfortable feeling he couldn't identify. He thought it was due to Dorian's excessive talking, as he never seemed to stop.

He didn't know that Dorian was not like other males he knew, and despite this feeling, he didn't know what it was. Dorian controlled his words and way of speaking to avoid arousing suspicion.

It wasn't as if he admitted that his way of speaking was wrong. All that mattered was that the person he was talking to was married and had children, so it was obvious that he didn't share his inclinations. Therefore, if he wanted to build a relationship with him, he had to become like him before revealing his inclinations, or else he would feel repulsed.

If he were with someone like him, he wouldn't bother to choose his words or control his hand movements, and he would speak in his usual way, as he did with his friends from the club.

Anyway, as the two exchanged conversation, Dorian didn't feel the passage of time until the carriage stopped.

The two disembarked heading towards a medium-sized wooden house, and as soon as they knocked on the door, a young woman opened it, as if she were a pure rose in the stage of blooming, beautiful and promising a bright future. She welcomed her father with a welcoming smile and her unexpected guest.

The man rejoiced in his daughter and began to praise her in every way possible, making the girl surprised and blush with embarrassment. It's not as if her father hadn't praised her before, but with such a shower of praise, the girl was surprised. However, she didn't deny the praise, as she was a female, and any praise directed at her would be accepted, especially if it came from her beloved father.

This was one of his plans to build a relationship with this young man. What the worker wanted was difficult to achieve, but he wouldn't lose anything by trying. He sought the good for his son by healing him and also didn't want to miss the chance to secure a bright future for his daughter, making her the wife of this young man from the noble family with high status and humble morals.

The poor man didn't know that he was trying to fill a leaky cup. All the words of praise he said about his daughter entered from one ear and exited from the other. The girl raised her face, which was almost piercing the ground due to embarrassment, to look at this person who was with her father and who was praising her in front of him. She saw a boy who seemed to be her age and it wasn't difficult for her to know that he was from the noble class just by looking at his clothes.

Women always sought beauty, and because of that, they had an eye for the smallest and most precise details, a trait that men didn't have much because they didn't care much about appearances as women did.

It didn't take long for the daughter to notice that this boy standing in front of her father wasn't an ordinary boy. The aura around him, his way of speaking to her father, and the way he looked at her father, he didn't even cast a fleeting glance at her. It wasn't as if she was an arrogant girl, but she knew well the impact of her beauty charm on the opposite sex.

At first, she thought he was a shy boy, but his way of speaking certainly wasn't that of a shy person. And when she connected all these observations with some rumors she heard from her friends about a type of men who had recently emerged who didn't care about the opposite sex, she came up with a hypothesis.

It wasn't difficult for her to realize that those rumors had been confirmed before her eyes. She couldn't help but feel a visceral feeling of disgust towards the boy, and she quickly suppressed that feeling even though she was almost sure her suspicion was correct. However, she still wouldn't assert it. She wished her suspicion were unfounded because, in the end, who wants to be right if that meant something bad happening?

'Hmm, this is the aura of death!! Perhaps all the members of this handsome man's family will die and only he will remain alive... I hope so,' Dorian thought to himself.

.... After reconsideration, maybe there are people like these, but this girl wasn't one of them... right?
