Chapter 378 The Truth About His Parents

Alan stood up and bowed respectfully. “Thank you for your guidance.”

Finished

Brian smiled and waved his hand. “Go. Continue to grow. I look forward to the day I see you at the Heavenly Gate.”

Alan left with his team, leaving only the four of them in the courtyard.

Vanessa was still a little confused.

Brian had guided them? He’s that strong?

Brian looked at her and smiled. “Vanessa, these two haven’t eaten yet. Go prepare something for them. I have something to discuss with them.”

“Huh? They haven’t eaten? Alright, I’ll go right away.”

Vanessa quickly got up and left.

Now only the three of them remained.

Brian looked at Steven.

“Don’t you have questions for me? Go ahead.”

Steven didn’t know where to begin.

Everything that had happened had completely thrown his thoughts into chaos.

Brian waited patiently as Steven stayed silent.

Bianca spoke first, “Mr. Fisher, if none of this had happened, would you have never told Steven the truth?”

Brian shook his head. “No. If he had not awakened an SSS–rank Divine Sigil, then I would not have told him. After I learned he awakened one, I began preparing all this.”

He looked at Steven and added, “It’s not that I wanted to hide things or make you suffer for no reason. You are not from a great family with constant protection. I have to leave, and I cannot stay by your side forever.

“So this time, I used the Reads to teach you these lessons. The road ahead is yours to walk.”

Brian then turned to Bianca. “I’m not heartless or harsh, but this world is simply cruel. You are both SSS- rank. He is even more unique, with a beast–type Divine Sigil and a dual Sigil. Do you understand how dangerous your future will be?

“Humans and beasts stand in opposition. The beasts are always looking for ways to destroy humanity.

“And now that you hold the power of beasts, many among humanity will not accept you. Some may even try to uncover the secrets within you.

“When that time comes, even I may not be able to help.”

Steven looked at his grandfather and finally understood.

This had always been his way of protecting him.

Steven spoke at last.

Finished

“Grandpa, if I were only a B–rank, would you have never revealed your true strength? Would you have just stayed by my side until the end?”

Brian looked at him deeply.

“In that case, I would have protected you until you turned thirty, or until you reached Three–Sigil Divine Adept. After that, your path would still be your own. I cannot stay with you forever.

“Maybe you would live to sixty. Or maybe you would die in your thirties.”

Steven fell silent.

So, it’s finally time to tell him the truth… Is it too soon?

“Who killed them?”

investigating. You don’t need to get involved.”

Steven’s emotions stirred.

Finished

“Tell me, Grandpa. I might be able to help. You have to stay at the Heavenly Gate. Maybe I will have a chance.

“They were my parents. I have the right to know. I want to know who killed them. I grew up being called a pathetic orphan. If they were murdered, how can I live in peace?”

Steven grew slightly agitated. There was a hint of anger in his voice.

Brian’s eyes flickered. He could only reveal part of the truth.

“Telling you is not a problem. You cannot reach that level yet anyway. Take it as your goal.”

Steven nodded. “Don’t worry, Grandpa. I understand. I’ve already learned my lesson today.”

Brian nodded. “Do you know why I don’t want you to join the military?”

Steven and Bianca both looked at him.

Bianca answered, “Because there are problems in the military right now?”

Brian nodded. “Yes. The beasts are using Outlanders to infiltrate Draconia. It’s difficult to guard against. Every city is dealing with this in secret. Entering the military now is not a wise choice.”
