William nodded as he placed the bottle back into the briefcase.
"Correct, that was the original intention of these. However, things took an unexpected turn when Mia gave birth to you." The old man stated with a small smile as he glanced at his grandson.
"I decided to wait and see what kind of a person you would become rather than force my daughters into having my heirs with me. And I admit that I had considered many times continuing with the plan when you looked timid and yet sometimes showed signs of being bold. You even had good intelligence, but that shyness of yours was getting on my nerves."
Seeing Oliver looking nervous after hearing this, William waved his hands reassuringly. "Don't worry though; since your mom, Mia, taught you, you have become quite bold. As expected of her. She always was able to accomplish her goal regardless of what it was."
Then he looked serious and focused his eyes back on the boy. "It's because of that I didn't act rashly and let things develop further. And the current you is someone I can trust."
"However, I am not going to take any chances when it comes to securing my legacy, so I will use these on you now and ensure that when you have kids with either your mother or someone else from the family, they will grow up to become an incredible successor!"
Oliver immediately shouted out, "What?! Are you serious?"
"What? Is there a problem with making a strong lineage of your own blood? Or you don't want to impregnate your mother?" William asked as he noticed how surprised Oliver seemed about his declaration.
"No, not that..." Oliver paused for a moment, unsure how to answer, but eventually continued. "... but how are you certain it will even work? I mean, what if it fails?"
William just laughed while shaking his head as though this was a joke. "As I said first, I'm a person with money and power. Do you think I don't have scientists, doctors, and research institutes who will create something according to my requirements? Of course not! I even tested this on a bunch of people."
"Huh? You did?"
"Indeed, and let me tell you that the results were outstanding. In fact, even more so than I could have ever expected."
Oliver couldn't help but feel surprised and amazed after hearing about it. "Doesn't that mean everyone can benefit from your research then? Why didn't you sell this to the public?"
"Idiot! Do you think something like this is easily made? In fact, every one of those ingredients required to make this thing costs a fortune, and there were some ingredients that are almost extinct. The bottles in front of you are the last of what I had left after using most of it to conduct my experiments."
William sighed while looking at them before turning his attention back to his grandson. "However, that is of no importance now. All that matters is that you will become the heir and continue the Ashford legacy with your offspring with Mia or anyone from our bloodline! As long as they have Ashford blood running through their veins, then I won't be disappointed!"
After speaking this much, William looked at Elle again. "Elle, use one of those syringes and inject Oliver with the substance inside this bottle." He tapped the bottle with his index finger.
Elle walked toward where he pointed and did as she was told to without hesitation.
She picked up an empty syringe from the case, inserted the needle into the bottle, and then drew the liquid into it, filling it.
"Please take a seat, Mr. Oliver," Elle requested while pointing toward a sofa behind them.
"Uh, okay..." He was a bit nervous and confused but still decided to trust his grandfather. As someone who cared so much about the inheritance of his legacy, he would definitely never put him in any sort of danger.
"This might hurt a bit, but you'll be fine, so please bear with me." She told him as he sat on the sofa.
Then, without wasting any time, she proceeded to inject the substance into the boy's veins.
As soon as she did, he winced slightly at the feeling of liquid being injected into his arm.
It felt as though it was burning and freezing simultaneously, giving him a weird sensation that made him uncomfortable.
He didn't say anything about this, though, as it wasn't hurting too much. Instead, he kept quiet and just waited for whatever was going to happen next.
After Elle finished injecting him with everything, she took out a Band-Aid from the case and applied it over his arm where she injected him earlier.
"It's done, Mr. William," Elle said after cleaning up.
William nodded in approval at this as he watched everything carefully from nearby.
"It will take some time for this substance to completely change your body's genetic makeup and improve your sperm cells. It would take about two weeks," he said while smiling at the boy. "So, make sure you don't impregnate anybody before then."
"I won't do that." Oliver confirmed while nodding his head. "Is there anything special that I need to do to ensure a proper development?"
"Yes, you have to exercise and train your body while eating well. As long as you maintain your health and lifestyle, the changes will take place without any problems. And when the time comes, you can impregnate anyone with your new lineage." William answered with a laugh. "Your offspring would be absolutely amazing when you have a child with your mother."
Oliver smiled sheepishly while thinking about how that would be. 'Me? Getting to impregnate Mom? I don't know what she would say, though...'
Meanwhile, his grandfather spoke up again, "I will keep the rest of these safe and will tell you where they are hidden after I make a suitable location for them." He closed the briefcase and looked at the boy one last time. "It will be useful if your grandchildren need them someday. Or your great-grandchildren and so on."
Oliver didn't know why William thought about such a distant future, but he agreed that having it for future generations was better. Even if the ingredients for making this substance are not available anymore in the future, they'll have something to use and benefit from.
"Alright, now that I'm finished with giving you instructions and the substance has been injected into you, you are ready to start a new life as the future head of Ashford. Learn about our businesses until the day you receive full control of everything. Got that? Your journey is about to begin!"
