"You won't understand the life of a genius like NovelFiree Dad, if I don't sleep when will others have the time to catch up"
Anthony said in reply with a smirk on his lips.
"Hoo...you aren't even the patriarch yet and you are already challenging me for my position"
Michael said in reply as his battle intent started seeping out little by little.
Mitchelle's voice cut through the battle intent like a thin paper as she spoke.
"Don't scare our son"
The battle intent disappeared as the smile on Michael's returned to normal.
Then Mitchelle turned to Anthony and said.
"Now I understand why your father calls you baby monster"
Anthony's face instantly turned sour.
He could live with his father calling him a baby monster since that man had no hope.
But his mother was another matter.
He couldn't live with that.
As they ate and discussed like a normal family while laughing, the discussion suddenly reach a point Anthony saw coming.
"So my baby monster, what are you hiding so deep inside, the last time I asked you your mana rank you just showed me the mortal rank"
"But with what I saw these past few days, it sure wasn't the mortal rank, I wonder when my baby monster started lying and what more he is lying about "
Michael said as he looked his son dead in the eyes and locked in as he waited a reply, he waited to know if his son would lie again.
And if Anthony actually lies again, Michael would be disappointed.
Of course there are ways to know someone rank and abilities, but would they work on Anthony.
The best way to know someone's strength is to straight up attack them.
Mitchelle's eyes also turned to Anthony as she waited for a reply.
Although she wasn't there when Anthony revealed his rank, she had heard about it as Michael bragged about 'his' son to her like Anthony wasn't birthed by her. Enjoy reading at m _v _le _mp _yr.
The atmosphere suddenly turned strange and icy as two pairs of eyes locked on Anthony.
Anthony seeing this kept an expressionless face, but his mind ran various thoughts.
He knew he kept a lot of things from his family as he couldn't just wake up one morning and be like
Invincible
Aloof
The light element unintentionally moved as it mixed with mana and created an illusion together with the aura that made Anthony appear like he was sitting on a throne and gazed down on everything from the peak.
Michael and Mitchelle's gaze met Anthony's as they fell into the illusion for a split second before it shattered.
But that split second made them feel like Anthony looked down on everyone and everything, Anthony seemed simply detached and prideful to speak to anyone lower than him and even above him.
But this was just their misunderstanding.
Anthony never looked down or even looked up to anyone.
He simply has no thoughts about anyone's opinion on or about anything.
Anthony just simply didn't care about anything, this made people always jump to the conclusion that he was prideful.
But Anthony didn't bother to correct this, because he didn't care.
Michael and Mitchelle stared at Anthony's aura as they picked his peak Master rank cultivation rank.
'What a monster'
They both thought as their eyes flashed with various lights but same thoughts.
Deep down, they knew that if Anthony was another person's child from one of the five families, they won't hesitate to nip the child in the bud.
Such talent was too much to be left alive.
They now understood why Anthony kept his strength and everything under wraps.
They thanked the stars Anthony wasn't a show off or arrogant.
This amount of talent has never existed or rather....the history records.
'We have to protect him, we can't let him out of our sight, the other families won't let him live if they find out'
Michael thought as he looked at Anthony, but a smile appeared on his face at same time as two sides of him battled for dominance.
The battle crazy side wanted to leak Anthony's true mana rank and cause war and use then it as an excuse to wipe out everyone.
The other side wanted to hide this fact and protect Anthony in order not to put him in danger due to the other sides recklessness.
'Anyone that sets their eyes on my son better be ready for hell'
Mitchelle thought.
One thing was certain, anyone who touched Anthony better be prepared.
