From Nothing to Powerful Heir

Chapter 6

Nolan was amazed for a few moments. But at this time, he immediately rubbed his ears and looked at the old man with a serious face. "Tell me once more, how did you call me?"

"Master Nolan." The man repeated his sentence. He didn't even dare to look at Nolan's face intensely. Putting his hands together in front of him very politely. 

Nolan watched him for a while, which was quite strange for him. They had never met before. 

"How could you call me that?"  

Nolan realized that this was just a joke sent to him. He wouldn't fall for something like this.  

Nolan smiled bitterly at the old man in front of him. In comparison, the man was far more worthy of being called a master than he was with his ordinary appearance. 

"Is this the new way sent to play me?" Nolan looked at him intensely this time. He was very sure of that. They must have sent that old man on purpose to humiliate him. 

Nolan felt something that made his chest tighten. They didn't even stop there to destroy Nolan. And right now, they considered Nolan's failure even more of a game. 

Nolan's expression turned sharper. He felt heartbroken about this. "I don't know, how much money have they paid you?" Nolan paused his sentence. He shook his head without releasing his eyes. "This time, I won't be fooled again."

"That's enough, and I've had enough of all this treatment from you guys," Nolan said firmly. 

He would not let anyone play with his life again. Nolan wanted to emphasize that no one could deceive or bring him down again. 

James nodded his head. He acted very calmly after hearing all of Nolan's complaints. "I understand what you're going through, Master."

"I know everything. You have been deceived by your friend, who is also your boss." James said it politely. Even his voice was a stark contrast to his fearsome face. "I also know everything that you have experienced over the past time. Including Master Marcus, who is currently in the hospital."

Nolan clenched his hands into fists. The man had boldly mentioned his father, and Nolan could not stand it. The veins on his hands were clearly imprinted, and the anger reddened his face. 

"What are you going to do to my father?"

"If you touch him even a little, I won't spare you." His voice was shrill as he warned James.

Nolan pointed at James' face with an angry look, emphasizing that no one had the right to offend his father.

James bowed his head. He understood his Master's anger. "Forgive me, master."

Seeing Nolan's angry face made James behave more carefully. "Master, I just want to explain everything I know."

James ventured, looking back at his Master. He needed to say what his purpose was. "Master, I came yesterday because I wanted to tell you that you are actually from the Dragniel family."

"The Dragniel family?" Nolan repeated the man's words. His forehead was full of wrinkles. He did not know why James would say something which confused him. 

Hearing about the Dragniel family, it was not an unfamiliar name to Nolan. "Apparently, I know that surname."

Nolan thought about it for a while until he finally found out that the Dragniel family that James was talking about was not just any family. It was a large family with wealth that could not be estimated. 

This confused Nolan even more. He looked back at James. "Are you currently talking about that famous and often talked about family?" Nolan's gaze became intense. He needed an answer fast. 

James nodded. He smiled gently. "You are absolutely right, master."

Before James could answer, Nolan shook his head again. "This is impossible. Why would you say I'm part of them? It's impossible." Nolan laughed bitterly. 

The joke James was telling him was too much. 

James knew that Nolan would not easily believe him. He stood quietly, watching Nolan closely. "Master, there is something you don't know so far."

"Indeed, Master Marcus is the son of Lord Vans." James sighed and continued. 

"Something happened that made Master Marcus plan to escape, and he did it so well that over the years, Master Marcus was able to hide his identity very well."

 

"All this time, Master Marcus managed to eliminate any trace of his existence. But in the end, Master Marcus had an accident that made him lose his memory." James gave another explanation. 

This seemed absurd. Nolan could hardly believe any of this. He couldn't even decide whether or not to believe everything James said. But the man's face and words showed honesty there. 

Knowing the fact that he came from the Dragniel family, it was hard to believe. 

"How could the father have memory loss?" Nolan had just closed his lips. But at this moment, Nolan remembered something. 

He had seen the wound on the back of his father's head. At that time, his father said that he was involved in a car accident. 

"Is this related?" Nolan was filled with confusion. 

At that time, Nolan thought that his father must have undergone major surgery that left a scar on the back of his head. However, Nolan was very hesitant to believe that his father was the son of the Dragniel family. 

"I know you'll find it hard to believe, but I have proof," James said, taking something out from under his black coat. 

It was a small piece of paper, and he showed it to Nolan. "Master, this is a young photograph of Master Marcus and Lord Vans."

Nolan took the photo from James' hand. He looked at it carefully and almost didn't blink. His eyes were fixed on the picture of his young father. And if you look very closely, it does look a lot like him. 

But at this moment, Nolan immediately shook his head back. "It could be. This photo is just a trick." 

"Master, not only can I provide that evidence, but I have also obtained DNA tests from you and Master Marcus. And they show that you are indeed descendants of Lord Vans." James assured Nolan at this point. 

"And I'm not wrong about any of this," James emphasized to Nolan. 

But at this moment, the man sighed. "I'm sorry I found you so late. I came at a time when you were going through a lot of things that really made you feel heavy." His face was filled with guilt. 

Nolan watched the man more earnestly. Hearing all those explanations made Nolan swallow his saliva. "Dragniel.... ....?"
