Chapter 52: Mother’s conditions to be an explorer
" And why are you just sitting there and not joining me to reject this idea?" His mother turned to his father and asked.
In response, his father just lowered his head and mumbled softly.
"He knows." He raised his hand to look at his wife after saying that, his eyes were red, and he had a guilty expression.
Alex’s mother froze, realising what her husband meant. Alex had found out about the debt that they were owing.
She fell into silence for a while before speaking again.
"Still, I don’t agree with you becoming an explorer. You only just started using spells, facing such dangerous situations will be too much. Moreover, we have enough time to pay back, you don’t have to worry about it; focus on the academy and nothing else."
Her body was trembling as she said this, and tears slowly ran down her face.
"We don’t have time," Alex’s father voiced out from the side. His wife looked at him with a confused face, and he proceeded to tell her about the fat man and the deadline, which was next week.
He didn’t tell her that the fat man had requested their daughter; there wasn’t a need to mention it.
A shocked look appeared on Alex’s mother’s face after she learned of this, her mouth opened as she tried to say something, but couldn’t find her words.
After some seconds of stuttering, she finally found the words she was looking for.
