Chapter 171: Truth!
Christopher stood, his gaze sweeping over the faces in the room. "Alright, everyone, we just need to get ready for whatever’s ahead of us. When the last two beast kings join us, we will proceed with the planning."
The six in the room nodded in agreement.
At that exact moment, the door burst open. "Hey Son!!" Amara exclaimed, freezing as she took in the faces staring back at her. The present in her hands slipped, clattering to the floor. "This?" she muttered, her eyes wide. Christopher and the group were speechless.
"Where is my son?!" a voice boomed from the doorway. Ethan walked in, only to halt beside his wife, equally stunned. "What’s going on here?" he asked, recognizing everyone present.
Amara fixed a deep frown on her son, saying nothing.
Christopher exhaled, sinking back into his chair. "Mum... Dad... I think you should sit down." He knew it was finally time to tell them the truth. Anything he said now would only make the situation worse.
Ethan, ever the steady presence, placed a hand on Amara’s shoulder, picked up the fallen gift, and gently guided her to one of the chairs. He sat beside her, his gaze fixed on Christopher.
"Well..." Christopher began. "I already told everyone I’m the owner of C+, and this here is Mr. Michael, his daughter Chaya, and his sister, Mrs. Murphy." He gestured to them.
Michael and Murphy nodded, but Ethan and Amara’s eyes were riveted on Sunny, Xing, and Phoenix. Seeing their gazes, Christopher continued, "You already know that identity, but you don’t know my other identity."
His parents snapped their heads towards him. "Another identity?" Amara asked, confusion etched on her face.
"Yes, Mum, I am actually the leader of the Beast Kings." Christopher’s words hit Ethan and Amara like a physical blow, shocking them to the core.
