As James approached his house, he saw the noble looking like he hadn't slept in these days whether this was from worry or his effort to get the crystals James couldn't tell.
"So you finally decided to show up, welcome back" James gave the noble a cold smile and just walked past him into his house.
Seeing him walk inside the noble followed him in; apparently, he was too tired to say anything.
When James got into his house he felt that something was off, he immediately withdrew his sword and spun around just in time to block the nobles sword that was swinging down on him. James hadn't even seen the sword on him when he walked inside.
After he had blocked the sword he felt himself being wholly suppressed, his level of skill was nowhere near the nobles, all he could do was hold out and try and get a solid hit in at some point. His guards were all running in after they had been instructed to wait outside by James. For now, they were no help.
Finally the noble made a mistake and James took it with everything he could, he swung straight for the nobles arm and managed to slice his hand off cleanly, his whole face got sprayed with the nobles blood that covered his face, and some even worked its way into his mouth. It was disgusting and smelt so strongly of iron if it hadn't been for the system passively activating all of his skills he would have probably thrown up right then.
James then saw a notification from the system pop up but didn't have the time to read it; he needed to stop the noble dying as at the moment he was his best chance to collect the crystals he needed. James cauterised the man's stump and found himself getting horrible flashbacks to his last life's end. His mind was entirely out of balance from everything that had happened. The system then followed up with another notification and when he finally got round to reading the information James directly passed out. The words that had popped up were ones that he never in a million years could have imagined popping up.

When they saw James passing out all of his guards rushed to him to check if he had been hit and finding no damage on him they were all perplexed, why would he have suddenly passed out like this, finding no solution they grabbed a bucket of water and splashed it over him to wake him up.
'What the hell just happened?' After James regained consciousness, he saw the notification from the system again and managed not to pass out this time, although he was still massively disturbed by what he saw.
'This man is my father? What fucking luck I have, why did I have to get such a trash father in this world? Wait does this mean I'm holding my uncle prisoner?' There was something he hadn't told the noble yet, and that was they had no way to recover the muscles after they had been cut and the nobles brother was now crippled, in other words, James had assisted in crippling his uncle.
James stood up unsteadily and walked to the noble, now that he looked at him he began to see resemblance he hadn't seen before. Planting a kick on the man James woke him up, he had passed out when his hand was cauterised. That made two of his family members that James had crippled now.
"Wake up; I have some questions to ask you. The first being, what is your name?"
"Martin Rale, why?"
James couldn't tell if it was a coincidence with the man's name being so close to the vessels, but the system informed him that in the vessels saved memories there were very broken memories of a woman approaching James when he was very young and telling him his name was James Rale. Apparently, James had misspelt his name after hearing it because he asked a commoner who knew a bit of how to write to write it for him.
He had only seen that woman once in his life and after that never heard another peep from her,
now James speculated this was his mother but had no way of being sure.
"Did you ever have a child you threw away in the streets?"
"How do you know about that!?" Hearing that line was all James needed for confirmation. This man was his father.
"How old would that child be now?"
"About 13 now I guess" As the man was saying this his speech began to slow down and trail off, it looked like he had gone into intense thought.
"You?"
"Yes, I believe so."
"When did you find out?"
"Just now."
"Oh."
"Where is the woman who gave birth to that kid?"
After he asked that question James saw the man begin to get panicky, James had a gut feeling that this man knew exactly what happened to the woman and didn't want to admit that he had done something to her.
"I don't know" The man was now speaking in a timid voice.
"If you continue to lie to me I will do what you did to that woman to your dear brother, or should I say, uncle?"
This was the first time James was directly confirming that this man was indeed his father. Any remaining colour drained from the man's face, and he began to tremble.
"Tell me what you did to my mother."
"I had no choice; if it got out that I had cheated on my wife with a commoner, then I would be finished. No one would ever take me seriously again.; I had to do it, it was such an unstable time I had only just become a noble in the outer districts, I couldn't let anything go wrong. If only she hadn't approached you, I don't even know how she found where you were!" The man broke down and started rambling until he heard James again.
"I didn't ask why you did it; I asked what you did."
"I had to kill her, she wouldn't stop trying to approach you, I couldn't risk it."
"Where was she buried?"
"She wasn't, one of my men who didn't know the story thought she had stolen something from me so he." The noble was unable to reply after saying this much; he just broke down into tears in front of James, his son.
"SAY IT!" For the first time in both lives, James found himself completely repulsed and angry from the core of his being.
"He, he ch-ch-chopped her up and, and he, he fed her to the pigs we kept in the garden" After hearing that, James threw down his sword and began to pummel the man with his fists. He attacked with everything he had, James punched until he could see the bones peeking out on his knuckles.
The man was wearing under armour that James had shredded his hands on, but he still made sure to hit the mans face a few times for good measure. Thankfully with every hit he could feel himself calming down more and began to regain control.
