Chapter 199 Tough Question

Steven and Bianca had just reached the front door when they saw Vanessa and Brian cleaning up the yard.
Looking at the mess, Steven’s expression tightened.
He rushed inside.
‘Grandpa, Mrs. White, what happened? Why’s everything such a mess?”
Vanessa and Brian both looked up at Steven and Bianca.
Vanessa lit up instantly.
Bianca! Steven! You’re back!”
Mom!”
Bianca called out and threw herself into Vanessa’s arms.
Vanessa hugged her tightly, just as excited.
Steven walked over to his grandfather.
Grandpa, what happened? Did somebody come here looking for trouble?”
Brian shook his head. “No. Just a beast.”
What?”
steven’s expression changed immediately.
Grandpa, are you hurt? Why would a beast suddenly appear in broad daylight?
Where is it?”
Steven quickly checked both of them for injuries.
His Eye of Insight activated on its own.
But he found nothing.
The two of them were perfectly fine. Not a scratch on either of them.
Brian said calmly, “It’s fine. Some kid who didn’t seem all that capable scared it off
Steven raised a brow. What kind of answer is that?
Vanessa pulled Bianca down to sit beside her.
Then she smiled and said, “Steven, come sit. I’ll explain.

One of Bianca’s upperclassmen stopped by and brought us some gifts. Then a beast suddenly showed up. so he helped chase it away.”
Hearing that, Bianca and Steven were both stunned.
An upperclassman?
Brian carried over the coffee, poured everyone coffee, then leisurely took a sip himself.
Vanessa continued, “But that guy… even though he’s Three–Sigil, he didn’t seem all that capable. The beast pretty much tossed him around the whole time.”
Bianca and Steven exchanged a look.
Who was it?
“Oh, right, Bianca. He asked me to apologize to you for him. He said there was some misunderstanding between you two and hoped you’d forgive him.”
Bianca frowned. “Mom, what was his name?”
Vanessa replied, “He said his name was Spencer, from the Reads. The number one family in Rowenville.”
The moment they heard that, Bianca and Steven’s expressions darkened.
Damn it. That bastard.
Bianca’s face turned cold instantly.
“Mom, he’s trash. Don’t believe a single word he says.”
Vanessa froze. “Huh?”

Brian glanced at him. “You’re standing here alive and well, aren’t you?”
Steven went quiet.
So calm.
“I’m making lunch. Come help me.” Brian stood up.
Steven smiled and nodded. “Sure.”
Bianca stayed behind chatting with her mother.
Brian moved slowly, looking every bit like an old man nearing the end of his life.
Steven helped him here and there.
Meanwhile, his thoughts kept spinning. How am I supposed to bring it up?
In his previous life, Brian had only given him the armor after he graduated from the Awakened Academy
But now he had only just enrolled. Asking for the armor now really didn’t make sense.
“Grandpa.”
Brian hunched slightly and answered calmly, “What?”

“Grandpa, you never really told me much about my parents before. But I’m an adult now, and I’m already
at the Awakened Academy. Can you tell me about them now?”
Brian calmly continued the work in his hands.
