Chapter 138: Relaxed? Yes!
"Even if we freeze his cards, his friends will lend him enough money. So, he won’t have to sell his organs. Father was just angry and said those words. You don’t have to take them quite literally."
"Hmm," Mother Thorsen softened her attitude after hearing her older son’s words. "So, he went with his friends? Where exactly did he go?"
She changed the topic from her husband to her son, and he did not want anything more than that. So he nodded and looked at his son as well, "Yes. Where did that idiot go?"
"Some place called Blue Whale Island. He had been talking about going there for over a year now. I heard that it’s very difficult to go there. A friend of his finally got the chance to visit the island, and he was taking all his close friends on a vacation," Martin said everything he knew.
"Hmph. If it is such a thing, then he could have told us before leaving. Why did he run away from home? Tell me the truth, are you lying to us?" Karl asked in doubt.
Martin’s lips twitched. "Father, am I such a person?"
"Of course, you are not the person to lie. But you are the person to defend his young brother in everything." Karl said with a straight face.
"..." Martin had no reply to his father’s words. He took a deep breath before saying, "Did you forget that you grounded him a few days ago? You wouldn’t let him leave the house, and you did not listen to his words either. So, he escaped. I am really not lying."
"Oh. I remember that did happen," Karl nodded. It was a usual occurrence in the family to ground Marvin. So, he doesn’t even remember when he grounded his younger son this time or why he did that.
"Now that he’s left, just let him be. Let’s ground him for two months when he is back," Karl casually waved his hand.
