A man walked into a residence and entered the place without being obstructed by any guards. He wore an alchemist robe and had a bearing similar to an elder. He had an amiable smile on his face as he greeted the members of the residence with a nod of his head.
The people on the other side of the greeting excitedly nodded their heads at him. It was as if they were incredibly honored.
The man walked past small streets, paved pathways and finally entered a building that was not at all shabby. Although it looked similar to a wooden house, its sturdiness was at the Peak-Level of King Grade.
Inside, a woman and a man were talking to each other, their faces looking amicable.
They suddenly noticed the alchemist walk in and the woman exclaimed, \"My son, you’re back!\"
\"Welcome back, Jos...\" The man beside the woman smiled with a heartened expression on his face.
Jos Brightwood, who was the alchemist, bowed his head and clasped his hand, \"Yes, father. I secluded myself in training alchemy for the past year, constantly honing myself and my fire techniques.\"
\"Haha, Jos, you don’t need to explain what you’re doing to me, especially when you’re a grown-up yourself. I know how forgetful you are when it comes to alchemy!\"
The man laughed heartily as he turned to look at his wife.
\"Father, I will always be your son no matter which age I maybe...\"
Jos Brightwood then looked at his mother who was all smiles.
He possessed such a pure mother and a righteous father but they all believed that he was someone who had morals, principles and secluded himself in alchemy and participated in the alchemists’ gatherings.
He couldn’t help but feel bad but at the end of the day, however, temptations do cause one to go astray.
\"Son, you have yet to find me a daughter-in-law...\"
Jos Brightwood’s face changed, \"Is this why mother called me? I’m leaving then...\"
\"Wait! Wait! It isn’t about that...\" Jos Brightwood’s mother couldn’t help but be saddened, however, she took a deep breath and said, \"I was afraid that due to your seclusion, you might miss the Alchemy Convention conducted by the Thousand Pill Palace Branch.\"
Jos Brightwood had a shocked expression on his face. He acted as if he never knew about it before and said, \"Mother, thanks for reminding me. I didn’t know about this and even forgot the passage of time.\"
\"Oh, silly...\"
In truth, he knew the was just jealous.
Jos Brightwood’s father and mother exchanged glances and the latter stood up as she walked towards her son.
Since he didn’t want to attend the Peak-Level Sky Grade Exam, she thought of making him agree to another matter which gnawed her heart for many years.
She brought her fair white arm forward and held her son’s cheek with her palm. She caressed him with affection and asked with longing, \"Jos, when are you going to give me a grandchild?\"
Jos reacted as if he had been given a jolt. He jerked and held his mother’s face with both his palms. He leaned forward and kissed his mother’s lips.
’What!?’
His mother’s eyes widened as she felt her son’s lips on hers. She became stunned for a moment as she failed to react. It was the same for the father who had his eyes wide in disbelief.
The mother who had regained her senses quickly tried to push her son away but was instead pushed back by him as they fell on the surface.
\"I’ll give you a grandchild, mother.\" Jos held his mother’s cheeks as he pinned her down.
\"Outrageous!!\" The father who had just recovered from his disbelief had his face contort into anger and humiliation. Without even thinking, he moved closer to them and slapped his son with all his might.
Undulations spread like a wave around the wooden house!
*Boom!~*
Blood splattered as Jos’s head exploded, painting his mother’s face in crimson red liquid.
\"...\"
Jos Brightwood’s Mother’s eyes were still wide as if she couldn’t believe what had happened. Her pupils revealed immense disbelief as she looked at the headless corpse of her son slowly collapse over her body.
Even his soul couldn’t bear the brunt of the attack and disintegrated!
Jos Brightwood’s father looked at his son’s corpse before looking at his bloodied hand, not realizing what had happened. It was only when he looked at his wife’s bloodied face did he realize what he had done!
He took two steps back and collapsed on the ground, his pupils trembling in utter disbelief!
