Chapter 125 - Lira’s Anxiousness
There are moments in life when someone has a fuel to push forward, maybe even going as far as to burn more than just fuel, especially when that fuel is related to emotional stimuli like revenge.
And naturally for him, after realizing how he should do what he was better at, his initial aim was to get rid of the superheroes or at least the Hero Association.
Given the attack on Spain by Ryken had made him aware of his ability, his target was the Hero Association.
But once they were on the verge of collapse, he switched his motives towards the royal family, trying to destroy them.
Or he nearly did, or at least had reached halfway there, given that, after making the Queen fall for him, he had gripped over one of the strongest heads of the top thirteen families within the archaic Vampire lineage.
But the moment he came to know about the secret behind his mother’s intentions—just wanting to use her own death to make him go on some kind of adventure against the royal family—he dropped the whole idea and decided to step back.
Everything made him feel as if he were walking the path that was predestined by his mother. More like acting as a puppet.
So, he withdrew.
Not because he thought he shouldn’t walk the paths he had decided, but because he hit the limit. The limit where, no matter what path he chose, he was met with death every time.
Stuck in an endless loop, making him withdraw several months back, changing all the progress, losing everything he had done in those months simply because he was stuck in a loop where, without power, he could not move forward.
"You... you seem pretty confident." The head was clearly surprised, given he did not expect his son to be aware of the secret he thought he had protected until now, especially since the child was still eight years old.
