“However, I have to go home first…”

On the way back, Lin Sen looked at the sky and sighed.

“Mother is usually too tired. I’ll make some food for her first before going to the ancestral house!”

Thinking of this, Lin Sen recalled his family in this life.

Originally, it should have been a happy family in this life.

However, after his father went to the Battlefield of Ten Thousand Tribes back then, there was no news of him.

As for her mother, the pressure of her single-handedly raising Lin Sen was too great, so she chose to remarry in order to support Lin Sen’s studies in the Lord Academy.

Before the various information in his mind had dissipated, Lin Sen had unknowingly arrived in front of the house.

With a creak, the door was pushed open, and the strong smell of alcohol immediately wafted over.

Upon smelling this, Lin Sen guessed that the drunkard stepfather had brought his friends over to eat and drink.

When Lin Sen looked toward the living room, it was just as he had guessed.

A pale, malnourished-looking woman was hard at work cleaning up.

The cigarette butts, wine bottles, and vegetable soup on the ground were mixed together.

At the same time, a card table was placed in the middle of the living room. A few drunk men were playing cards and shouting.

“Let me tell you, I’m not bragging. My teaching ability is top-notch. Do you know that under my careful guidance, our military leader in Heavenly Hub City took a liking to my son?”

“Now, the military in Heavenly Hub City is recruiting talents. My son is in charge and is formulating a plan!”

A man’s face was flushed red as he spoke non-stop.

The other drunk men beside him echoed.

“Brother Chen is awesome!”

“Isn’t your family in charge of the entire Heavenly Hub City from now on?”

“In the future, if anyone wants to join the military, you’ll have to give your son… No, give you, Brother Chen, some benefits first.”

The people around him were all praising him.

When Lin Sen heard this, his heart was stirred.

The drunkard who claimed that his son was awesome was Lin Sen’s stepfather.

If not for the fact that he had given birth to a good son who made a living in the Heavenly Hub Military Region, he would have long fallen into dire straits.

Of course, if not for his background, Lin Sen’s mother would not have married him.

As Lin Sen recalled his stepbrother, the son of the old drunkard, the sound of something falling to the ground came from beside him.

It was caused by someone who had lost his grip on the broom which knocked against the ground.

At this moment, the old drunkard who was bragging about his son to his friends suddenly looked at the woman sweeping the floor.

The old drunkard realized that the woman had fallen to the ground for some reason. His eyes widened, looking a little scary.

Suddenly, the old drunkard shouted.

“Mo Rou! What are you doing?”

“Don’t you know that I’m chatting with my friends? What if such a loud noise disturbs our conversation?”

“Also, didn’t I ask you to sweep the floor just now? Why haven’t you cleaned up after so long?”

“You don’t want to live in this house anymore?”

The old drunkard’s shout scared the woman so much that her originally pale face looked even paler!

When Lin Sen saw this scene, anger surged in his heart.

“Chen Yun, that’s enough!”

“Can’t you see that my mother’s health isn’t good? And you’re still ordering her around?”

“Can’t you sweep the floor yourself? Can’t you cook?”

“Is ordering a woman around the only thing a man could do?”

Lin Sen’s appearance made the nervous woman feel as if she had found her backbone. Her trembling hand that was holding the broom gradually calmed down.

Because her son had returned!

As for Chen Yun, the old drunkard, when he saw Lin Sen’s arrival, his aura decreased significantly.

This was a person who bullied the weak and feared the strong. Facing an adult man like Lin Sen, he didn’t dare to order him around like he did Lin Sen’s mother, Mo Rou.

However, the old drunkard was still very unyielding.

“What? Kid, how can you speak to your father like that?”

“Have you forgotten who owns this house?”

“Shouldn’t you be working for me while living in my house?”

“If you disrespect me again, I’ll chase you and your mother out!”

Seeing that Lin Sen was about to argue with the old drunkard, Mama Lin immediately pulled Lin Sen away from the living room filled with the stench of alcohol.

Here, Lin Sen did not resist. Instead, he allowed his mother to pull him along.

He didn’t want to make things difficult for his mother.

Lin Sen clenched his fists and thought to himself.

“Don’t worry, Mother. I’ll take you away and live a better life!”

“This day will not be far away!”

Lin Sen swore silently.

After leaving the noisy living room, Mama Lin asked.

“Sen, today is the day of your school’s awakening ceremony. What kind of abilities have you awakened?”

What kind of ability did he awaken?

Lin Sen’s expression was calm as he answered smoothly.

“It’s a combat-type lord!”

Here, Lin Sen’s expression was not too unnatural. He did not want his mother to notice the abnormality and pursue the bottom of it.

His mother was usually too tired for this family. Lin Sen did not want her to add to his worries.

Mama Lin did not ask further. When she heard Lin Sen answer that it was the combat-type lord, there was a trace of sadness on her face, but she quickly squeezed out a smile.

“Combat-type… Combat-type is pretty good too.”

“Most of those big shots now are from the combat-type. Sen”er is going to be successful in the future!”

“It’s just that… the combat-type also spends a lot of resources…”

Mama Lin muttered to herself.

Lin Sen didn’t feel good at all.

Hearing his mother’s words, he knew that his mother thought of his father, who had disappeared after going to the Battlefield of Ten Thousand Races.

Combat-types would most likely go to the Battlefield of Ten Thousand Races in the future.

If Lin Sen went to the Battlefield of Ten Thousand Races, would he end up like his father?

This was also why Mama Lin said that the combat-type was quite good.

From the perspective of her son’s long-term development, Mama Lin naturally hoped that Lin Sen would be a combat-type Lord.

However, as a mother, especially a mother who had lost her husband because of the Battlefield of Ten Thousand Races, Mother Lin hoped that Lin Sen would be a support-type and that he would support in the back instead of going to the Battlefield of Ten Thousand Races himself.

Lin Sen seemed to be a little disappointed when he thought of this.

Mama Lin happened to see this. She thought that it was because she had mentioned in the last sentence that the combat-type needed to spend more resources, causing Lin Sen to be disappointed.

After all, it was indeed difficult for the current family to provide for the expenses of a combat-type lord.

Mama Lin realized that Lin Sen might be disappointed, so she immediately comforted him.

“Sen’er, since you’ve already become the combat-type Lord, don’t be afraid. Work hard and move forward. Tell me what resources you want. I’ll think of a way for you!”

Lin Sen took in Mama Lin’s comforting words.

Although Lin Sen had already made up his mind not to ask his family for resources and increase their burden,

he still had to deal with it on the surface.

“Don’t worry, Mom. I’ll do my best. I’ll let you know if I need anything.”

Lin Sen responded.

Mama Lin nodded and continued to clean up.

Lin Sen’s sharp eyes noticed that one of the drawers in the room was not closed tightly. Through the gap, he could see what seemed to be a medical report from a hospital visit.

As if he had thought of something, Lin Sen took a deep breath and slowly opened the drawer with trembling hands.

A medical report appeared in front of him.

Just as he had guessed, this was his mother’s medical report.

However, the high cost of treatment made her mother keep it to herself.

Lin Sen quietly put the medical report back and clenched his fists.

“I must… change the current situation of this life!”

Lin Sen made up his mind again!
