Chapter 375: A Sweet Family...
The long table present in the dining room was filled with hundreds of hundreds of different dishes and right at the table were none other than tree figures: Quinn, Atherston, and Savita, Quinn’s mother.
The silence at the table was nerve-wracking as the small family of three looked at each other, with Quinn’s gaze widening with disgust on sighting Atherston who tried his best to look at the food he was eating while softening on the sight of Savita who had a big smile on her face.
“Okay, okay. I knew I did wrong, ok. But look on the bright side, the entire family till the end of eternity won’t ever have to worry about Horora. There will from now on be unnecessary deaths happening in the family. I’m sure our ancestors are looking up from their place and smiling at my good deeds...” Atherston said before he was interrupted by an incredibly loud snort brimming with apocalyptic disdain.
“Yeah. They really are proud that you turned your entire family into a piece on a chess board. A thousand things might have gone wrong that will make sure that you’re the only one on this table and eating alone...” Quinn shot back at him.
He had not accepted the bastard before him as a father at all. The only thing stopping him from digging a spear through his head was his mom who was sitting beside him.
“So, Mom, you never went to the ancestral ground in the first place, and working as a maid was all a ploy,” Quinn asked as Savita shook her head.
“It wasn’t a ploy. Your father really sent me away from the palace after hearing that I was pregnant with you...” Savita replied as Atherston’s head grew red like a tomato and he dragged his silver hair trying to cover his face.
“Tch, damn him...” Quinn said clicking his tongue in distaste as Atherston smiled wryly. There really was no way to refute that act.
“I truly thought they were going to kill you too. But when you were released I was sent to the ancestral ground. I wasn’t taken to the ancestral ground and the palace instead. It was where I met your father again and he explained everything to him.
If she was to be honest, compared to the pain that Atherston had been through at the hands of his own emotionless father, Alexander. Quinn’s experience wasn’t worth mentioning.
But she knew well, that he had also been through a lot too...
“I’m sure you’ll come to forgive your father soon....”
“Hmmm, sooooon....” Quinn replied with a smile to Savita before turning to stare dagger at Atherston.
“So, the EIA was truly going to give me up just as you offered?” Quinn suddenly asked.
To say he wasn’t disappointed with what the EIA did would be a lie. He was of course proud when they weren’t sacred because of his father being at the Galaxy Rank stage. But when they had to give him and so easily too just because of a certain rule, he couldn’t say he was particularly prod.
“Yes. They would have to give you up due to the universal rule. No organization can disobey the universal rule as no organization can face head-on the wrath of all the world forces of the infinite galaxy combined. That is, the punishment of disobedient.”
“Although, I truly met with an interesting person among the EIA Commanders who wanted to stop me from taking you away...”
“An EIA Grand Commander!” Quinn roared out in shock.
“Yeah. And a good old friend of mine...”
