Poe slowly opened his eyes… Where was he? Right, he was at the hospital. He was taken here last night. But this body passed out on the way.

Damn it, he shouldn’t have cut this body to this degree. It is very feeble now, barely surviving!

But on the other hand, he had no idea that he would have to migrate to it! He was supposed to use it to shock that young master Victor and then take over his body!

It all happened very suddenly when that spear went through his body forcing him to instinctively migrate to this body as he was connected to it. Damn it!

“Young master Paul! You are awake.” An ugly nurse startled him… Paul? Yes, this was supposed to be this body’s name… He will be a Paul from now on.

“I… Who am I… Paul? This… name…” He said with difficulty, making the Nurse panic.

“You are Paul Von Weise, right? Does that name sound familiar?” She asked nervously,

“Von Weise? No…. Who … Am I?” He lied as he deeply frowned, scaring the nurse.

Poe didn't let it show, but he was pleasantly surprised that his new body's previous owner was also a Von Weise! His plan was not completely ruined after all!

Although this guy was only a semi-player, he might be able to use him for a few years and then jump to a better Von Weise, maybe a baby… It’s been a long time since he tasted a baby.

The nurse watched as Paul's face turned from a frown to a lascivious smile then as he began to drool. She felt that something was wrong with him so she quickly ran out of the ward. Screaming “DOCTOR! DOCTOR!”

Poe sighed, He had to fake having amnesia as he really had no memories. He can only eat souls' energy and not memories. Such a thing as a complete soul devouring only exists in fairy tales.

“Who are you… What are you doing in my body.” A voice startled Poe. The voice was talking to him! Looking around he found no one… Could it be coming from his head? If so, it would be the body's original owner. Wasn’t his soul completely eaten?

“I am… Paul!” Poe talked in his mind, “Who are you? Where are you talking to me from?” He feigned Ignorance and started to listen carefully to determine the voice's origin.

“No, that's impossible! I am Paul.” The voice said. Poe didn’t respond, he quickly scanned the body’s consciousness for the voice’s origin. Strange enough, he didn’t find anything.

“No, I am certain that I am Paul,” Poe said again.

“... Whoever you are, get out of my body!… NURSE! GUARDS…. Why can’t I move my mouth? Why can’t I move my body? What did you do to me?” The voice asked, confirming Poe’s conclusion.

“Oh…A remnant. So that’s the case…” Poe stopped pretending after confirming that the voice couldn’t affect the body. It must be a remnant soul that was not in the conscious zone. This was rare, but not unheard of. And was completely reasonable since he took the body in a hurry without a complete ritual.

He can use this to his advantage, as he has to live in this body for some time.

He can’t change bodies sequentially. He had to wait for at least three years to repair his soul and fix his body’s reproductive functions… That’s the way he jumps from one person to another. That’s how he has been doing it for ages.

“I can’t leave here, but let’s make a deal…. How about you help me for a while, giving me all the information I need. And in exchange, I will leave in three years?” Poe asked,

“I would never!” The soul said, “The family would surely find out about you and save me!” it said,

“We will see about that very soon,” Poe said he had all the time in the world. And in this primitive world, no one had the technology to find out about him.

Sadly, he never realized that he was not talking to the long-dead Paul, but to Victor who was probing him.

The first thing Alex did after leaving the study was to check her reflection in the mirror… To her surprise, she looked like Victor. Even her training suit had turned into one of his casual clothes.

She always knew that Victor had this amazon disguise skill, but she never expected it to be this overpowered… Wait, could it be possible that he was secretly sneaking into the bath while the girls were there? This was the first time she considered this…. No, he doesn’t need to. Those crazy girls would strip in front of him if he asked,

She sighed as she headed to the living room, where Hilda was making some phone calls searching for some ironsmith to build a dungeon.

“Young master, do you need any help?” She asked respectfully as she hang up the phone, startling Alex, Hilda never talked to her this respectfully.

“I… Where is Margret?” Alex asked, planning on some revenge.

“She went up to her room to sleep,” Hilda said,

“I … I see…” Alex nodded, then turned and left heading for Margret’s room… On the way, he met with Eta and Epsilon who were on their way to take a bath after their morning training.

“Young master… We just finished our morning training and were going to take a shower. Would you care to join us?” Epsilon said as Eta blushed, “We can scrub your back….” she whispered with a blush as she shily pulled his shirt.

Alex was tempted to try their service, but remembering how Victor usually dodged these situations, he spanked the girls' butts, making them giggle.

“Later…” she said as she climbed the stairs. Success, the girl’s blushes were genuine. They usually looked at her as if she was some kind of an insect. Especially after the accident with that slut Margret.

She liked their admiring gazes better though…

Maybe she should just give up her male persona and confess the truth…. Maybe they can be friends!

No! She had promised her father… And Victor would surely feel betrayed if she did that. He always told her that he hated liars.

Victor sighed, now that Poe was awake, he must manipulate him carefully. He wanted to find out his story, but that guy was as cautious as a snake.

Victor didn’t really care, he can destroy them at any moment… He just wanted to find out what power he belonged to. Victor had a hunch that it was Limbo Empire. A secret organization made of otherworldly demons who occupy human bodies.

In his previous life, he only read rudimentary summary reports about them. As they slowly disappeared, hiding in the shadows when the Imperial family declared them enemies of all humans and destroyed most of their bases after they failed to occupy the body of a high princess. One of Lily’s cousins.

Victor shook his head, deciding to forget about Poe for now. That guy would need more than a month to leave the hospital. He can’t even take a sh*t without some help at the moment.

Victor turned work on the things he had on hand. His desk was full of stacks of papers. Those were the lists and contracts he got from Harvey.

They contained the entire Von Geldstadt spy network in his family. It was bigger than he expected.

781 Collaborators and 150 Agents, with 15 of them holding high positions! And one was in the high console, a part of the Seven! It was none other than the inquisition hall master, Alfred.

Victor thought deeply and began to draw a diagram of the family's high console,

The lists he got from Harvey had a big problem! They had missing names that Victor expected. He really wanted to find Titus’s and his grandfather’s Frank names. But they were not there.

This meant one of two things. Either Harvey had scammed him, which was not realistic after signing the contract. Or… The white faction never worked for the Von Geldstadt family as he formerly believed.

Charlotte’s relationship with Titus must be from another source… Who?

Victor was now suspecting the Dark Chamber as the culprit… He never encountered those in his previous life, so he had no idea what their real goals were.

Nevertheless, with this group of spies, he might be able to get enough info and prepare for problems… He will be able to re-balance the family situation a bit before Linda’s pregnancy got revealed.

Anyway, with Alfred serving him, Victor can relax a bit, as he can manipulate some of the surveillance data on him, allowing him some more freedom.

Alex made her way to Margret’s room, where she took a deep breath then pushed the door open and stepped in. The room was nothing like she expected.

It was not full of fluffy things or gilded decorations. It was full of whiteboards and newspaper scraps. It looked like she was planning an assassination or a heist.

Margret, who was startled by ‘Victor’s’ sudden intrusion, was standing there naked, drying her red curly hair after finishing her shower. She looked at Alex with surprise.

“Young master! Do you need anything?” She asked as she displayed her body proudly. Not caring about him inspecting her room.

“Ahh… Wear something first… You will catch a cold like this.” Alex said as she sat on her bed. Thankfully the disguise hid her blush… That’s what she thought.

Margret nodded and wrapped herself with a towel then sat next to Alex, crossing her legs.

“What is on your mind?” She asked, “Did you regret refusing me last night, and wish to taste my techniques?” She asked as she leaned hard on Alex.

“Eh?... Ah… No…. I was just wondering how is Alex’s training…” Alex blurred out the first thing that came to her mind.

“Oh… Don’t worry, I am working hard to expose his feminine side,” She said, winking at Alex who didn’t get it.

“I bought some new toys from Tetraquad city yesterday. I was going to try them on our little Alex… '' She said, reaching for her ring and dumping a group of some very menacing torture devices. They were all colored pink!

Alex looked at them with horror… Other than the strange-looking cuffs, she didn’t know what the other things were called. She had a hunch about the way that they could be used, and she didn't like it at all!

“Do you want to give them a try?” Margret asked raising one eyebrow,

If Alex was a man, he would have really taken Margret’s invitation, but poor Alex didn’t even know how to use these things. But she knew one thing. She can’t leave those dangerous things in Margret’s possession. What if they were really used against her?

“Ah...Yes,” Alex suddenly replied, surprising Margret. Who felt that Victor was acting a bit weird… Shouldn’t he be scolding her right now? Why did he say Yes? What did it mean? Would he really try those things on her or was he planning to let her tie him up?

Sadly for Margret, none of these scenarios happened as Alex grabbed the items as a group and threw them in his storage ring, then quickly stood up and headed to the door.

“Where are you going?” Margret asked in surprise. He was acting extra weird.

“...To try your …Toys...” Alex's voice trailed off as she walked out and closed the door behind her.

“On whom?” Margret asked as she stood in shock, but no one answered her.
