The Villain’s Cheat Code: When a Gamer Becomes the Evil God’s Sidekick-Chapter 448: So He’s the Fall Guy

The rise of the Reiser family can be traced back to before Aubrey's ascension to the throne.
Most people generally believe that Lipoaute Reiser, the head of the Reiser family, married Lady Cassandra.
Through the strong support of two generations of emperors, he successfully gained control of the economic lifeline of the southern empire.
This led to his rapid rise to a high position.
However, the truth is far more complex than what the general public speculates.
Duke Levi still remembers it vividly.
If that incident hadn't happened back then,
He would have been forced to marry Cassandra, and today's Erica would not have been born.
Those old fellows who followed the current emperor to the battlefield in their youth.
At that time, the Carencia Empire was far from as powerful as it is now.
The emperor then was not today's Aubrey, but Sol VII of the past.
He was an emperor who adhered to his duties, without excessive ambition, and his policies were acceptable.
Although he had a modest reputation in international affairs, he was by no means to be taken lightly.
Throughout his life governing the empire, there were no significant achievements to speak of.
To this day, Duke Levi still believes that Sol VII's greatest achievement was simply giving birth to the future emperor, Aubrey.
Of course, he also had a precious daughter — Cassandra Sol.
It was as if they had planned it, determined to be born into this somewhat ordinary imperial family.
The siblings were both hailed as geniuses in their respective fields.
Aubrey was a military genius, with powerful combat abilities, unparalleled in his generation.
While Cassandra displayed breathtaking talent in political and business management.
Cassandra's daily growth gradually revealed her even more astonishing gift.
What was called 'the blessing of the gods.'
At that time, she was known as the [War Saint].
Her mere presence could enhance the strength of soldiers by a whole level.
Under Cassandra's talent, the imperial soldiers were like divine troops descending from heaven, victorious in every battle, conquering all obstacles.
In the end, her achievements and fame led to countless followers throughout the empire.
Excellence?
Among these suitors, mere excellence was not even worth mentioning.
They had to be perfect to be worthy of her.
She was a princess by birth, of high status, and had inherited the heavenly beauty of the imperial princess lineage.
With the title of [War Saint], her fame spread far and wide.
Thereafter, everyone hoped to marry Cassandra.
If one could win Cassandra's heart, a soaring future would be just around the corner.
Sol VII remained calm throughout, happily observing those young men who were madly pursuing his daughter.
He was waiting too.
Among all the suitors, there must be one who was perfect among the perfect, and then, he would timely arrange for Cassandra to marry him.
But at that time,
Cassandra ignored the ocean of suitors, and only had eyes for Levi.
But by then, Levi already had someone he loved.
Being a pure love warrior, he would absolutely not go against his heart and be with Cassandra.
However, for such pure love warriors,
If nothing unexpected happens, then something unexpected is bound to happen.
Even Levi himself wasn't quite sure if this was Cassandra's deliberate revenge.
Back then, Aubrey, who had not yet ascended to the throne, hurriedly found him and told him that Cassandra was pregnant.
At that moment, Levi was struck as if by a bolt from the blue, standing there in a daze.
He doubted for a moment if he had heard wrong.
The pregnancy of the imperial princess would undoubtedly lead to far-reaching consequences.
Of course, this secret was only known to a limited few, and not a whisper of it leaked out.
Levi was naturally included among them, because Cassandra's favorite person was him.
Similarly, the prime suspect was also designated as him.
At that time, Sol VII summoned Levi and asked him one question:
"My daughter Cassandra, will you marry her or not?"
Levi could only stand in the center of the empty palace, clenching his fists helplessly.
He understood that this was blatant coercion.
However, at that time, he was not as powerful as he is now.
Even though Aubrey was constantly speaking up for him, advising his father to investigate thoroughly and not wrongfully accuse Levi.
But it's easier said than done.
Where to investigate?
How to start the investigation?
Once the princess's premarital pregnancy became public, where would the royal family's honor and face be placed?
Sol VII certainly wanted to investigate too, but he had no means, no ability.
Although Levi had sworn that his heart already belonged to someone else, and he could never have other thoughts about Cassandra.
However, the emperor insisted that he break his oath and marry the princess.
Because his daughter had to get married quickly before her belly grew too big.
And regardless of whether the child was Levi's or not, marrying Cassandra was something Levi had to do.
Because only Levi was the best choice at that time.
Moreover, Cassandra liked Levi, which was something many people knew.
If this marriage could be facilitated, it might even become a beautiful story that people would talk about with delight.
As for Levi's oath, except for himself, perhaps no one would remember it for long.
But regardless of the outcome, it was Levi himself who would suffer.
Being inexplicably given such a hat to wear, no one would be happy.
And as he walked dejectedly on the street, a golden light suddenly descended from the dark night sky.
Levi thought he was seeing things at the time and didn't pay attention.
But after turning a corner, he saw a young man dressed in luxurious attire.
Those mysterious pupils, like flowing golden sand, made Levi inexplicably feel a sense of awe towards the man before him.
"You seem to be in a bad mood?"
When the man spoke, there was a hint of concern in his tone.
"I am a merchant. As long as you pay, I can solve any problem for you."
His words were full of confidence and temptation.
At that time, because Levi was immersed in the pain of being forced into marriage, he believed that he could never be with his love in this life.
Hearing the man speak like this, he eagerly asked, almost as if grasping at a lifeline:
"What do I need to give?"
"Just money, my friend."
The man handed him a business card, which had 'Casidra Trading Association' written on it.
Levi, in the midst of his inner struggle, quickly made a decision and readily agreed.
In the end, this matter was cleverly resolved by a merchant surnamed Reiser.
This merchant, smart and astute, directly admitted to the emperor that the child was his upon meeting him.
And he brought out a large sum of money to appease Sol VII's anger, while taking on this unfortunate responsibility.
He also stated that as long as the Reiser family could develop in the empire, that would be enough.
The imperial side was also quite uneasy, because no one knew for certain who the real father of the child was.
So, Sol VII accepted this proposal.
Because both parties reached an agreement, the child's identity was kept hidden.
And the empire supported the Reiser family to operate businesses only within the imperial borders, leading the Reiser family to amass wealth rivaling a nation in the entire south.
Eventually becoming the veritable 'Second Treasury of the Empire.'
Cassandra married this merchant, without even holding a grand wedding.
After the marriage, the child was born smoothly, without anyone raising any doubts.
The born child was secretly taken for paternity testing with Levi, and the final result showed that they had no blood relation.
Of course, there was also no relation with the head of the Reiser family.
The origin of this child ultimately remained a mystery.
And because of this incident, Levi has maintained a cooperative relationship with the Casidra Trading Association.
……
"I see."
Viktor leaned back in his recliner, surrounded by blooming flowers, with birds flying low over the flower beds.
A fresh fragrance always lingered at the tip of his nose, making one feel truly comfortable.
In this virtual space, he could create any world he imagined.
Erica, sitting in a chair beside him, looked at him and continued:
"Father thinks Lipoaute will definitely come to find him on this return."
"So he asked me to tell you these things in advance, to give you some preparation."
There was a hint of seriousness in Erica's voice.
But in reality, that night, when Erica was solemnly called to her father's room and told these shocking secrets.
Erica's mind went blank with a buzz, crashing on the spot.
She couldn't imagine that her old man had once nearly become someone else's husband.
And she herself had almost not appeared in this world.
As Erica spoke, she curiously observed Viktor's reaction.
She wasn't clear why her father wanted her to tell this to Viktor.
Did he think Professor Viktor would have some way to resolve this?
But Viktor's indifferent expression always made it difficult for her to fathom his thoughts.
He closed his eyes, seemingly pondering something.
Thud! Swoosh! Whoosh!
A series of magic collision sounds thundered around Viktor, entering his ears.
"The magic here is being released too quickly, the magic lines aren't fully connected yet..."
"You need to do this first... then this..."
Henie was guiding Sapphirose in casting magic, and those gentle sounds entered Sapphirose's ears.
She nodded blankly, then waved her hand to cast the spell.
A complex red formation appeared in mid-air, releasing the improved magic.
Boom!
A loud explosion, and the blast wave rose from the ground, spreading in all directions.
Indeed, following Henie's guidance, the power of the magic had increased by more than one level.
After a long while, Viktor slowly opened his eyes, sat up, and softly muttered this name:
"Lipoaute Nannade."
He found it surprising.
Because this name, in fact, was not the name of the current chairman of the Casidra Trading Association at all.
Lipoaute Nannade was a shrewd merchant and thief.
His appearance marked the beginning of a major plot.
Because he replaced the original Chairman Nannade, becoming the new chairman of the Casidra Trading Association.
And froze nearly 80% of the Casidra Trading Association's assets and banks, causing severe economic damage to the world.
And that plot, along with his words, unfolded the first chapter of the gods.
"I told you to watch your money."
"Because one day, I will steal it all."
The god stood high in the heavens, with golden wings shining brilliantly in the sunlight behind him.
He sat cross-legged on the misty clouds, his body slightly leaning back.
Golden sand flowed in his eyes, swirling into an ocean.
The god opened his mouth, revealing white teeth, stretching his neck.
With his dangling Adam's apple trembling, he laughed loudly to the sky.
He was the god of commerce and thieves.
He was the divine messenger guiding the descent of the gods:
"—Hermes."
