Chapter 12: Chapter 12 : The Twins"How did you figure it out, Young Master?" Augustus asked Daniel curiously.
"Hmm? It was simple."
"Based on what those foolish followers of his said, I wasn't the only one to cross paths with Young Master Alex."
"At first, I concluded he was just an idiot who enjoyed being flattered. But when his followers praised him, there was no trace of pride or excitement in his eyes."
"As a fourteen-year-old boy without a particularly high position, I was confident he wouldn't have the ability to conceal his emotions."
"Additionally, one of his followers mentioned that he's a subordinate of that person. So I deduced that he's intentionally acting this way to study others' behavior," Daniel explained.
Of course, aside from all the reasoning, Daniel already knew about Alex. In the novel, Alex was a notorious sycophant—a loyal dog of the Patriarch's youngest legitimate son.
"I see," Augustus remarked, looking at him as if he were a monster. He hadn't expected his Young Lord to process all of that in just a few seconds.
"Anyway, who is that person?" Daniel asked. Although he already knew, he had forgotten much of the information about them, including their name.
"Young Lord, Alex is a subordinate of the Patriarch's youngest legitimate son."
"The youngest legitimate son?"
"Yes. He's sixteen years old and the first child of the Patriarch's third wife. Both he and his sister are regarded as prodigies among the younger generation."
"They haven't awakened yet, but they're still considered prodigies?" Daniel found that intriguing. In this world, it was rare to label someone as a genius—or trash—before they underwent the Awakening process.

"That kid—he's illegitimate and only fourteen, right? He hasn't had access to proper training facilities or the money to buy resources," Emma reasoned.
"And yet, he managed to terrify Alex, who's fourteen and trained in the family, without even lifting a finger... He's truly strong. And Mother won't be pleased to hear about it."
Hearing her final statement, Liam's body tensed for a moment. If his mother found out what had happened, she would make his life miserable for a while.
"You'd better not tell Mother anything," he warned, glaring at his sister.
"Oh? And why not?"
"What do you want?" Liam sighed, feeling a headache coming on. He wanted to threaten her, but doing so would only result in another beating from his mother.
"Haha, I'll tell you later. For now, you owe me one," Emma said, grinning mischievously.
