Mrs. Tang held a cup of coffee made by her daughter-in-law and took a sip. "Hmm, too much sugar," she murmured.

She then picked up a piece of dessert made by her daughter-in-law and took a bite. She frowned slightly, as the taste wasn't very pleasant.

As an old woman who had treated the kitchen as her own territory for half of her life, Mrs. Tang couldn't help but look down on her daughter-in-law's cooking skills. It had nothing to do with her daughter-in-law's status as a judge. She didn't really care about that.

But she didn't say anything and continued to eat slowly. Regardless, she felt a sense of guilt towards her daughter-in-law in her heart. After all, it was her own son who had become like this.

Not to mention that her daughter-in-law came from a well-off family. Even if it was an ordinary family, she herself had reached the level of a judge. She had never heard of a female judge being mistreated because of her family and marriage in so many years.

Therefore, Mrs. Tang tolerated her daughter-in-law's decision to voluntarily transfer from York City to work in Sampo City a few years ago.

Karun sat across from the coffee table, holding a cup of coffee in his hands, his gaze somewhat absent-minded as he daydreamed.

Ever since her husband took a leave of absence, he would occasionally disappear for several days, leaving a note saying he went out to clear his mind without telling his family where he went.

If it weren't for the day she discovered the truth from her mother-in-law, that Karun was not her husband's biological son, she might have thought that her husband went to make up for the lack of paternal love.

But now, she had completely lost any expectations. It was better to simply believe that she had been wronged and have some emotional support.

She lifted her gaze and looked at Mrs. Tang sitting across from her. Since Karun came to their house last time, her mother-in-law, who had been living in the suburbs near the hot springs for rehabilitation, had moved back here.

Well, her sick leave was completely tied to her mother-in-law.

Mr. Delong, her father-in-law, was busy with his departmental work, her younger sister-in-law wouldn't come over for no reason, and her son went to the Darkmoon Island for a mission. In this house, there were only the two of them, her and her mother-in-law.

There was no conflict between the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, and they were polite to each other. But the distance between them was visible to the naked eye, and neither of them had any intention of resolving this distance. Therefore, Karun felt like she was acting every day.

"Richard is coming back today, right?" Mrs. Tang said. "His grandfather said that the return teleportation array was activated this morning."

"Yes," Karun replied. "He's probably on his way home by now."

"It's good that he's coming back," Mrs. Tang took another sip of coffee, forcing herself not to frown.

"Yes, it's good that he's coming back," Karun agreed. "I feel lonely when he's not at home."

"If you can feel lonely, it means you're getting old."

"Getting old?"

"When people get old, they tend to feel lonely," Mrs. Tang put down her coffee cup. "When people get old, they see through more things and gradually lose interest. They get bored and feel lonely."

"Is that so?"

"The days ahead will get better," Mrs. Tang said.

"That's for sure, Mother." Although Karun didn't understand why her mother-in-law said this at this moment, she instinctively agreed.

At this moment, a black mist floated into the living room from outside the window and stopped in front of the sofa, revealing Eisen's figure.

Mrs. Tang pointed at Eisen and smiled. "Look, he still cares about his son in his heart. He knows that his son is coming back soon, so he came back too."

Karun looked at her husband and sighed, but she still forced a smile and said, "You're back."

When talking to her husband, she had to speak softly and gently, afraid that if she raised her voice a little, her husband would be scared away like a timid sparrow.

"Yes, I'm back." Mr. Eisen nodded at his wife and then looked at Mrs. Tang. "Mother is still living here, huh?"

"What's wrong? Is it not okay?" Mrs. Tang spread her hands. "I'm afraid Karun will feel lonely at home alone."

Eisen spoke, "Karun doesn't like being in the same room with you."

"No, that's not true. How could it be!" Karun hurriedly explained.

Mrs. Tang wasn't angry, but instead smiled.

"I'll go to my study."

Eisen nodded at his mother and then at his wife, and walked towards his study, gently closing the door behind him.

"Mother, don't listen to him talking nonsense," Karun hurriedly explained to her mother-in-law.

Mrs. Tang raised her hand to interrupt her daughter-in-law's words and whispered, "Haven't you noticed that Eisen has changed a bit?"

"Has... has he?"

"Before, except for work, he never took the initiative to talk about family matters."

"It seems... it seems like that."

"My son is sick, but now I see hope for his recovery."

"If that's the case, then it's really good."

At this moment, the front door opened, and Richard, pushing a suitcase, walked out from the entrance.

"Oh, my dear grandmother, you still look as good as ever!

Oh, who is this young lady? Ah, she's actually my mother! Oh my god, who could have imagined that such a young lady would have such a big son!"

As soon as Richard returned home, he immediately got into character and actively hugged his grandmother and mother.

"Did the mission go smoothly?" Karun asked.

"It went smoothly, very smoothly, and it was very exciting."

At this moment, Mrs. Tang looked towards the study where her son was, coughed, and said, "Karun, let's go prepare lunch for Richard first. Later, we can chat with him while he eats."

Karun was a little surprised. Her mother-in-law usually didn't like having another person in the kitchen when she was there. But she immediately stood up and followed Mrs. Tang towards the kitchen.

Richard threw himself onto the sofa, put his feet up on the coffee table, stretched his arms wide, and yawned.

"Ah, it's so comfortable at home."

He felt like he was the adult of this family now, no, the adult man. After being busy outside, he could enjoy the service of the women in his family.

Oh oh oh,

Richard's lips curled up,

Hehe,

This feeling is really nice.

At this moment, the study door opened.

Richard turned his head and saw his father standing at the doorway.

"Uh"Richard silently withdrew his feet from the coffee table and sat up straight. He said, "Dad, I'm back."

Eisen walked towards Richard.

Richard suddenly smelled a familiar scent, as if when he returned home after completing a mission last time, he was also...

With a "whoosh," Richard immediately stood up and said to his father, "Dad, I brought gifts for you. I even borrowed a lot of points from my teammates for this."

As he spoke, Richard took out a bunch of souvenir seashells from his pocket.

"This one is for you, this one is for Mom, this one is for Grandpa, this one is for Auntie, and this one is for Grandma."

Seeing these seashells that could be bought in bulk for just one silver coin at the Darkmoon Island market, Eisen's gaze became even darker.

Because he knew that his son had borrowed a large amount of points from "himself" to buy a gift for the goddess priestess of the Reincarnation Sect, and in the end, he only brought back a bunch of the cheapest seashells.

"Dad, which color do you like? I think this blue one suits you well, hehe."

Richard raised a seashell and handed it towards Eisen, but as his father moved towards him, Richard involuntarily started to step back.

Father and son understood each other without the need for words. There were some things that could be immediately understood.

Although he didn't think he had done anything wrong, didn't he also not do anything wrong last time?

When he returned home, he was eating snacks when his father came back and beat him up like a pig!

"Father, have you been well at home recently?"

Richard greeted while stepping back, and Mr. Eisen continued to move forward.

The father and son circled around the sofa in the living room, making a big circle.

Finally, when he turned towards the kitchen, Richard immediately turned around and ran towards the kitchen, shouting, "Grandma, Mom, I missed you so much!"

Mr. Eisen opened his hands and said in a deep voice, "Order - Cage!"

"Richard."

At this moment, countless curses were running through Richard's mind.

In front of him, a black cube appeared, not only blocking his way, but also pushing him back.

Richard immediately turned around and shook a scroll out of the sleeve of his robe that he hadn't taken off yet. The scroll fell to the ground and unfolded.

"Order Guardian Barrier!"

As a son, in order to protect himself, he used magic against his own father.

But two black lightning bolts appeared in Mr. Eisen's palms, one of which directly hit the scroll that Richard had thrown, instantly turning it into ashes. The other lightning bolt struck the barrier that Richard had just formed, piercing through it.

In the living room, there was a sudden flash of lightning and strong winds, causing many holes to appear in the carpet and sofa.

Richard felt his vision blur, and his father appeared in front of him.

Richard held a magic pistol in his right hand and a magic crossbow in his left hand. He was about to raise his hands, but found that he couldn't raise them no matter how hard he tried. He lowered his head and realized that his hands were already bound by two black chains of order.

"No, why is this happening!"

In the next moment, Richard was lifted up by the chains.

"Dad, why!"

Immediately after, Richard was fiercely slammed onto the floor.

"Bang!"

"Cough... why are you doing this, my dear father."

Richard was lifted up by the chains again, his body suspended in the air.

"Father... what did I do to make you angry?"

Upon hearing these words, Mr. Eisen began to recall the moments when his son had angered him recently. It was fine when he didn't think about it, but after recalling, he felt even more angry!

He couldn't even understand what he relied on to endure until now before taking action!

Richard was once again thrown towards the floor.

"Bang!"

"Cough... why..."

Richard was lifted up again.

"Bang!"

Richard slumped on the ground, raising his head in a daze. He realized that the chains of order on his body had disappeared.

Phew, it's over.

"Smack!"

At this moment, Richard heard the sound of a whip. He saw his father taking out a whip, which was an accessory given to him when he became a judge. He rarely wore this whip after being promoted to a magistrate.

"Oh no, please don't do this!"

"Smack!"

"Ah, ahhhh!"

"Smack!"

"Ah, ahh!"

"Smack!"

"Ah!"

"Smack!"

Richard's screams continued.

"Mother, isn't this too harsh?"

"I know you feel sorry for our son, and I feel sorry for our grandson too. But you have to understand, after Eisen beat our son last time, his mood improved a lot, didn't it?"

"This..."

"As long as it can improve Eisen's condition, Richard, endure some hardship. After all, he is doing this as a son to his father, he should bear it."

"No, please!"

Richard's screams became even more intense.

"This is too much, what kind of state will the child be beaten into?" Kai Xi anxiously said.

"You have to think in a positive direction. Richard is very talented. Look, his father and I have let him grow freely until now, and he has become a divine healer himself. He is probably not far from becoming a judge.

Eisen is helping him bring out his potential, making up for the time he wasted in the past. Don't you also hope that Richard can take over your position in the future? If the magistrate's family doesn't produce a successor, it would be truly embarrassing.

Even if we help him reach the position of a magistrate, you should know the difference between the virtual and the real."

"Eisen, is it really because of this?"

"This is probably the deepest expression of paternal love."

"Ah."

Richard's screams gradually became weaker.

"Mother, Richard's voice is getting lower."

"I heard from his grandfather last night that the York City district is going to start a selection. Only eligible priests have the chance to sign up. There are 12 spots in the entire sect. His grandfather is already preparing to help him sign up.

The selection is even more difficult than this. If Richard can be selected, it will greatly help his future development."

"Can Richard be chosen?""There are five spots for the York City region, and I think my grandson stands a chance. If he can secure one of these spots and then proceed to the overall selection of the Church, it will be a matter of luck."

"Does Aisen know about this?"

"I'm not sure, he might. He's only on leave, his old work friends are still around."

"Aisen has friends at work?"

"Uh... yes, I believe so."

"Mother."

"What is it now?"

"Richard, he seems to have gone silent."

"Stop, my grandson!!!"

Upon waking, Karun sat up against the bedhead, the morning light already streaming in through the window, bringing warmth and beauty.

Karun loved this feeling, his energetic self and the morning sun made him look forward to the day ahead from the bottom of his heart.

"Meow~"

Puerh turned over and continued to sleep.

She had held a memorial for Jennifer last night and didn't go to bed until late, so she wouldn't be getting up early today.

Karun turned his head to look at Puerh's chubby cat face and her habitual way of sleeping with her arm as a pillow.

Ignoring her temper, she was a very cute cat;

Of course, even with her temper, she was still a cute cat.

After getting up and going to the bathroom for a shower and a wash, Karun went into the study first and sat down behind the desk.

He was thinking about what Kevin had said yesterday. Logically, the Gate of Reincarnation should be a very dangerous place, but the Church of Order had included its quota in the negotiation terms and implemented it.

Did the high-level members of the Church of Order really know nothing about the internal situation of the Church of Reincarnation?

Karun didn't think so, so if he made it into the top 12, would the Church of Order have other arrangements before entering the Gate of Reincarnation?

After all, no matter what, the Church of Order would never allow the contamination to spread to itself.

All of this would only be known after he had truly passed the assessment and entered the list.

However, aside from all this, the Gate of Reincarnation still held a great temptation for the priests.

The contracts that the ordinary priests of the Church of Reincarnation sign on a daily basis are often coerced or forced, but from the Gate of Reincarnation, there is a chance to sign a contract with a truly powerful soul, which is a completely different concept.

Also, the fall of the God of Light seemed to be related to the Gate of Reincarnation.

Well, this was also a great opportunity, wasn't it?

Karun smiled slightly. Although he didn't fully understand his soul and his black chain, it didn't stop him from having great confidence in his soul.

He was going to fight for the quota, and only after entering the Gate of Reincarnation would he have the chance to learn the true secrets of the gods.

Before the organization "The Silent Ones" discovered him, he needed to keep as low a profile as possible, but keeping a low profile didn't mean doing nothing.

He was also looking forward to what kind of spirits he could find in the Gate of Reincarnation.

Getting up and leaving the study, Karun prepared to make himself a bowl of plain noodles. He had been away on business for so long, he really missed the breakfast at home.

In addition, he wanted to drive back to the Allen Manor for a visit after breakfast.

Just then, Karun saw Alfred coming towards him: "Young Master, Richard is here."

"He's here?"

Karun was a bit surprised and asked:

"Did he come in a wheelchair?"

"No."

"Then he's quite lucky."

"He came on a stretcher."

Karun went to the front hall and saw Richard lying on a stretcher.

"Karun... sob sob sob"

Richard was crying very sadly.

Karun stood by, suppressing his urge to laugh with a cough. The happier he had been on Darkmoon Island, the more miserable he was now.

Squatting down in front of Richard, Karun asked: "Did your dad beat you?"

"Yes."

"It's hard on you, being beaten up like this and still insisting on coming over for a meal."

"No, my grandmother invited you over for dinner."

"I'm busy today."

"My grandmother knows you live at the funeral home, she said if I can't invite you, she'll have me buy a coffin from you and be sent home in a hearse."

"Why would your grandmother do that, I think she's very kind."

"She was very kind, but yesterday when my dad was beating me, I pretended to be dead and scared her. Then when she found out I was pretending to be dead..."

"What happened?"

"She let my dad, who was already planning to stop, beat me up again."

There's more tonight, please vote for the monthly ticket!
