Chapter 177 I Advise You to Choose the Future

While Isabella was still reviewing the Redemption Department's information, she discovered that a number of elites from the Missionary Department were rapidly heading out under Dong-hyuk's leadership.

The meeting had just ended, and the handover was not yet complete, yet a major event had already occurred at the Missionary Department?
Meanwhile, Rhine, with a slightly gloomy expression, walked towards the 'home' he rarely returned to.

However, this emotion quickly faded and disappeared, and then ceased to exist.

Just now, he received news that the Niton family had been attacked by unknown assailants, the head of the Niton family was injured, and the rest of the situation was unknown.

As for the attackers, they are said to have escaped unscathed.

The attackers this time did not have any particularly distinctive features.

All that is known is that the leader is a steel-type wizard; the characteristics of the others are unknown.

There were seven or eight people in total, all dressed in black robes to conceal their presence.

However, the head of the Niton family, due to a recurrence of his old injuries, was unable to mount an effective resistance.

The head of the Niton family was wrapped in a robe, with Leido taking care of him.

On his chest, several black wounds were now writhing slightly, as if something was absorbing everything from Niton.

This is his old wound, a scar left from fighting the monsters when the calamities on the ground emerged decades ago.

Seeing Rhine, who rarely goes home, return home, a hint of resentment flashed in Leido's eyes, but he quickly lowered his head and continued to take care of his grandfather.

The head of the Niton family looked at Rhine with some surprise: "Why are you back?"

“I resigned from my position as bishop, and I just happened to have some time to come back and visit.”

"What's going on?" Rhine asked the other party in a businesslike manner, as if he were an investigator.

This attitude made Leido even angrier, but he did not, as usual, angrily question Rhine.

"It's just that some bandits are too stupid to have come to the Niton family." The head of the Niton family paused and gave the standard answer.

My thoughts stretched out slightly.

While Neyton was still hesitating, Oppein's tone changed instantly.

"The continuation of a family business lies more in the future."

“At least I can be sure that Rhine is not the future of the Niton family.” After possessing Op, Nems’s different temperament made the Niton family head’s scalp tingle instantly.

Nems looked at the other person, then his gaze fell on Leido.

"Rhein is involved in too many things."

“The Niton family, at least your branch family, cannot afford it.”

"These are the young people of the future, don't you think?"

“That’s right!” Patriarch Niton then nodded in agreement, seemingly agreeing with Nemes’ words, yet also as if answering the question that Op had raised earlier.

“Then, may the Niton family prosper.” With that, Nemus dispelled the possession.

After exchanging slight greetings, Op and the others left for the Niton family manor.

After those people left, Niton gradually made a decision.

Sending out the family's sacred blood to participate in the Holy Son Project was indeed a good investment.

Rhine's holy blood essence and talent are rarely seen even among the main family.

His rise stabilized their branch family. Although it couldn't make Rhine completely loyal to the family, the other benefits were not insignificant.

I thought the trouble with the Holy Son Project was over, but things have gotten even bigger.

It seems it's time to make a clean break. After all, the future of the family rests on the shoulders of the normal family members.

"Is that so?" Rhine noticed the problem, but didn't seem to care too much. He nodded and then left.

Forty years ago, when he was just a few years old, his family sent him to become an experimental subject, or more accurately, sold him to a laboratory. His family had obtained a batch of resources by selling him.

Otherwise, Chief Nidon would have been injured decades ago, and the members of each branch of the family would have been incompetent.

Even with some support from their master, how could they possibly last this long?

It was simply that when the Holy Son Project began, the Church paid for it in order to collect enough holy bloodlines.

From that moment on, he severed ties with his family.

For more than a decade, he was subjected to various experiments, suffering torture and pain, with death looming over him.

As he grew older and his research on the Holy Son Project shifted to developing embryos from scratch, he gradually received less attention.

At that time, because he had not produced any more results for a long time, he, along with some other 'failed holy sons', was released to become 'interim products' for the laboratory to work for the laboratory.

Lord Guilliman discovered them and chose to take them under his wing and teach them.

It can be said that from the moment he was sold out by his own family, he was stripped of his identity as a human being. Even if he was released from the laboratory, he was just a 'product', not a living person.

His identity as a human being was re-given by Guilliman.

Therefore, even if something happens to his family, he doesn't really care, and he doesn't retaliate or sever ties, all because he is true to his saintly nature.

However, judging from the situation of the patriarch and Leido, it is highly likely that someone obtained something related to them from them.

who is it?

Surprisingly, Rhine showed some interest.

The Holy Son Project has a very obvious problem: those Holy Sons from that time all had their bloodlines modified and were injected with large amounts of drugs, so their bodies contained various kinds of 'energy'.

In other words, each of their 'failed holy sons' can actually be used as a special medicinal ingredient.

Those who are aware of this are mostly individuals associated with the former Holy Son Project.

In other words, those targeting him are most likely old friends?
"Or rather, some old friends who aren't very familiar with me." Rhine took off his glasses and gently wiped them with a handkerchief.

Guilliman then orchestrated the complete concealment of the failed Holy Son's identity.

He has nominally returned to the Nitton family; previously, he had only gone away to study.

Some people who know him very well will naturally recognize who he is.

Only those who are not familiar with each other need to be confirmed with their family.

Of course, it's also possible that the other party's purpose wasn't to use him as a 'medicinal ingredient'.

The original Son Project left a huge mess.

After all, it was an experimental project that lasted for twenty years and involved multiple Holy Blood families.

There are countless other products like them, neither successful nor unsuccessful.

After a brief moment of excitement, Rhine put on his glasses and his demeanor returned to indifference.

They began to seriously consider who was behind this, and whether the arrival of this person at this moment would interfere with their ongoing plans.

As for the possibility that those people might want to harm him, Rhine didn't care.

He can't possibly lose!
