Chapter 499: Mess

Maybe when someone learned that they secretly had a great background, they would be ecstatic. All their worries and hardships would now be coming to an end and they could finally live out a life of peace. 

However, this wasn't how Leonel reacted in the slightest. 

The first thing he thought of when he learned the truth was the number of people who had died when the Metamorphosis began. 

No, died wasn't the proper term. They had been sacrificed. For the sake of having an easier path of development and having less Invalids to deal with, these people had been discarded like trash by this Emperor that also happened to be his grandfather. 

Leonel didn't particularly feel abandoned by his grandfather either. Another human reaction would be to feel as though his existence had been ignored for so long. If his grandfather knew he had another grandson, why didn't he come into contact with him sooner? But, once again, Leonel didn't feel like this.
