Chapter 6: The Assassination Attempt.

Luis smiled wryly at hearing his parent's words. He knew they misunderstood him, so he decided to clear the misunderstanding first.

Shaking his head, he said, "No, Mom, although I was a little dissatisfied that no one told me about the engagement before. It's not the reason why I couldn't contact you."

""Couldn't?"" Both Ronald and Lumine raised their brows at his choice of words.

Luis took a deep breath and said. "I was attacked by assassins."

*Boom*

Like a bombshell was dropped out of nowhere. As if thunderstruck inside their minds at this sudden revelation. Their faces turned extremely serious and bloodlust started emitting from their bodies.

Luis felt a bit uncomfortable under the intense pressure, so they immediately retracted it. Lumine jumped out of the sofa and hurriedly check Luis for any injuries. Tracing her hands all over his body, she asked worriedly.

"Are you hurt anywhere?" Her voice was shaky as she held him close to her.

"I am fine, Mom," Luis cradled her hand and calmly looked into her eyes, assuring her. "I'm alright."

Hearing his calm words, Lumine's eyes turned moist as she hugged him tightly while tears dripped out of her eyes.

He gently patted her back, trying to calm her down as he saw his father's expression, which had turned extremely ugly in anger.

Lumine broke the hug as she turned to Ronald. Her expression was fierce while tears kept bawling out of her eyes."I want them dead."

Luis nodded his head in agreement and raised his right hand. Small yellow sparks formed on his fingers and vanished a second later when put his hand down.

"Li - Lightning!!?" This time their composure broke as they stared at their son in disbelief.

Why wouldn't they be? After all, the Lightning attribute is one of the rarest attributes in this world. A person born with a Lightning attribute and good talents can easily be considered a genius.

Although they didn't know their son's talents, the Lightning attribute already gave them a big enough shock. No more importantly.

"Natural awakening!!?"

Luis nodded calmly and said.

"Inside the river when I felt myself dying as I was surrounded by Sea Hyenas I felt something inside me changing and I awakened Lightning attribute and roasted them with the sparks of my attribute awakening."

'Huh? Luis was already dead by then so, How do I know this? Weird.' This thought came to his mind, but he didn't understand what happened. So he kept this matter aside for now.

Hearing Luis' words, they were worried for their son who escaped death, and happy that he was safe. But they were still furious and wanted to find those assassins and cut them to pieces and find the person who wanted to kill their son and roast him alive. But they still held their anger inside them to not affect their son with the pressure.

Lumine hugged him tightly and said. "You have suffered so much, my son. I'm sorry, Mother wasn't there for you when you experienced such hardships." Lumine bit her lips to hold back her tears. She felt ashamed of herself for being angry at her son and blamed herself for being an incompetent mother who almost lost her son.

In his mother's embrace, Luis felt a warm sensation enveloping his body. Although he acted calmly before, he was still a little uncomfortable accepting them as his new parents, only based on Luis' memories. He thought it might be difficult for him. But for some reason, he could feel his sincere emotions toward them. At this moment, a question came to his mind.

'Was it only his memories and body that I inherited?'
