He Became A Monstrous Genius After Obtaining A Time Dilation Artifact

Kailen currently stood before a towering skyscraper.

"Is this the location?"

Kailen headed into the building.

A few moments later, he arrived before a particular door.

Before Kailen even knocked on the door, he heard several footsteps approaching.

The door opened to reveal a tanned-skinned human with tree leaves for hair.

Kailen was not weirded out at the sight, as he had seen all manner of strange lifeforms since the time he ventured into the universe.

"Come in." The man was strangely blunt.

Kailen nodded, entering the room. However, he was on alert for any signs of an ambush anytime soon.

The man, on noticing his composure, being a seasoned warrior himself, knew this was the composure of someone who was ready to act at any time.

He nodded in admiration at the young man's carefulness but said, "Relax, no one is gonna ambush you."

Before Kailen could even respond, someone appeared before them suddenly.

She was a tall, beautiful lady in some sort of crop top and jeans, and sneakers. She also had a jacket on.

"He looks just like him, and that man stealer too."

The woman thought inwardly.

Quickly, she stretched her hands to greet Kailen.

"Hi, I'm Bianca."

Kailen nodded. "I'm Kailen Darkhaven."

This woman is strong.

He couldn't help but be inwardly shocked. Although she was a rank 3 beginner stage galactic level lifeform, and Kailen was not a match for her, it was the dense universe energy Kailen could see flowing through her universe energy pathways that made him take her more seriously.

This woman was no joke. Her carefree exterior was just a facade.

She was terrifying.

"Interesting," she thought inwardly. "He's perceptive."

Quickly, she went ahead to introduce the other fellow. "This tree-looking straightforward bastard is called Cyco. Don't worry about the fact that he didn't introduce himself personally. He's the quiet type."

Kailen nodded. He turned to look at the man, a rank 2 beginner stage galactic level lifeform. He was also very strong. Kailen could observe that if the guy fought with someone in the same rank, he would easily overpower the fellow.

Bianca looked around, as if she was looking for someone else.

"Sorry I'm late."

A lazy voice associated with a yawn resounded in the room suddenly, then someone seemed to walk down some stairs that led to another floor of the apartment.

The fellow had disheveled hair and brown skin, and had the laziest expression in the universe on his face.

Kailen's gaze landed on the man and his eyes squinted in surprise. Beneath the man's lazy expression, Kailen could notice that there was this sort of predatory demeanor.

He was also a rank 3 beginner stage galactic level lifeform. The amount of universe energy flowing through his universe energy pathways though, was less dense compared to that of the woman.

However, Kailen's instincts gnawed at him that this man was equally dangerous like the Bianca woman, if not more dangerous than her.

"Who are these terrifying people?" Kailen couldn't help but muse to himself.

The brown-skinned human approached Kailen and introduced himself. He seemed more easygoing than the Bianca lady, even going to the point of patting Kailen on the shoulder with a wide grin plastered on his face.

"I'm Nuel. It's nice to meet you finally."

The trio sat down in the plush armchairs in the nice apartment, after which the others nodded to Bianca, as if they had agreed on something.

Quickly, Bianca spoke to Kailen, who was currently seated opposite the trio.

"I know you have a lot of questions, so you can go ahead and ask them."

She didn't beat about the bush, something that Kailen deeply appreciated, as he was itching for answers right now concerning who these mysteriously powerful people that were acting all friendly towards him were, and what they knew of his parents and grandfather's tragedy.

"Who are you people? And why are you being so nice to me?"

Kailen asked. He didn't doubt their sincerity, as his passive skill, Detective's Gimmick, was at work here. From their introductions, he could tell that they were sincere people without any evil intentions towards him. Also, their names were on point without any lies.

That is what made him more curious about them.

Bianca replied, "We were your father's classmates and friends. Just like Jackson Bloodfallen."

The moment they spoke, Kailen's eyes widened in surprise.

"Even if he didn't tell you, didn't he mention us in any of his diaries?"

Nuel replied, a bit surprised, as if he was certain Kailen's father would definitely have a diary.

Kailen was surprised. How did they know he had a diary?

Seeing Kailen's expression, Nuel cleared his confusion. "Oh, your father was a diary freak. He said he liked to keep records of everything so... you know..."

Kailen had an expression of realization on his face.

Now that they mentioned it, he mentioned that he wished all his friends were fine and doing well, and that none of them were blaming himself for their deaths. But he never mentioned their names.

However, he did mention that he wished that the wolf would find herself a man and settle down.

Kailen asked, "By any means ma'am, did my father call you a wolf?"

"Oopsie daiiisy," Nuel said.

It seemed Kailen had just asked an abominable question.

Even the straightforward and quiet Cyco couldn't help but chuckle.

So that bastard still called Bianca a wolf huh.

As for Bianca herself, it seemed she was doing everything she could to not get angry.

However, she just couldn't keep it in.

"That fucker!!!! Not only did he choose that pretty vixen over me, he had the gall to tell me to settle huh. Plus the bastard didn't even forget that stupid nickname he gave me huh!!"

Kailen chuckled lightly. He would have gotten angry if someone else called his father a fucker.

However, the woman clearly had no evil intention behind her vulgar use of words.

Plus, her reaction and that of the two men, from what he had just observed, had confirmed that they were all his father's friends.

Also, from her words just now, it seemed she was his mother's rival in love.

And for some reason, his father ended up with his mother instead of this woman.

Kailen's admiration for his father grew more. He couldn't help but muse inwardly.

"As expected of father, it seemed the ladies couldn't keep their eyes off him. To make two beauties like mum and this woman fight for his heart. The brotherhood really is proud of him."

"Hmph. Tsk! Says the one who only has one woman. You should have a harem for all I care. Amateur!"

Kailen almost coughed a mouthful of blood at the sudden outburst of the time dilation artifact.

What were those dramas and online ecchi and harem novels doing to her?

Sigh!

Kailen ignored her, then focused on the current situation.

Finally, Bianca managed to calm down and regained her cool. She became carefree again, her former fierce demeanor having disappeared completely as if it had never been there.

Kailen was completely shocked. Did this woman have some multiple personality disorder or something?

"Ahem. Sorry about that. Didn't mean to insult your old man in front of you." Bianca apologized sincerely.

"No problem."

Kailen simply shook his head with a smile, now more at ease in their presence after confirming they were his father's friends, not just from the Detective's Gimmick skill but from the reference to this Bianca woman being called a fox in the diary his dad and mum left behind.

He asked his next question, the main reason why he came here.

"Who is the co-conspirator behind Cyrus Darkhaven's attack on my parents and grandfather?"

*****
