Revenge of the Abandoned Son 15. An Offer
In front of the class, Kalix stood calmly, without any hint of pressure. What benefited him was the system in his mind that helped him find the appropriate material or answers to the questions posed to him.Kalix explained the methodology in software development. "The Agile approach is the best in software development."Professor Anderson furrowed his brow in disagreement. He was a supporter of the Waterfall model and had a different view from Kalix. He said, "Agile is a strong approach, but it may not be suitable for every situation. Why are you so confident about Agile?"There was a moment of silence as Kalix didn't immediately respond, he gazed into Professor Anderson's eyes. Then he explained, "Agile allows flexibility and quick responses to changes. In the industry, changing requirements often occur, and Agile can handle that well."Before Professor Anderson could speak again, Kalix preempted him, saying, "However, in large projects with
Revenge of the Abandoned Son 16. Commotion in the Cafeteria
"Did you decline Senior Carl's invitation?" Luke walked up to him as soon as he saw Kalix coming out of the classroom.As one of the students majoring in software engineering, Luke naturally knew Carl and Bernard's reputation as two smart seniors. However, what the two of them were most famous for was their unrelenting rivalry, which was said to have been going back and forth since kindergarten.Kalix did not look at Luke when he casually replied, "Not really."It couldn't be said to be a refusal, though not an agreement. He didn't want to explain too much to Luke.Luke realized that too, so he didn't ask more questions. "Where are you going? Are you going to the cafeteria?""Yes," Kalix answered again briefly.Luckily Luke was used to Kalix's short answers and his indifferent attitude. As long as Kalix didn't shoo him away, he followed along beside him. By the way, Kalix didn't count on the food either.Looking at the long queue, Kalix felt very lazy. It was too much of a wast
Revenge of the Abandoned Son 17. Getting Closer (to the trap)
Ignoring Lorenz's words, Kalix turned to look at Luke and said, "Go to the table first."Luke stared at Lorenz, who looked fierce with a muscular body, then turned his face to Kalix, who appeared skinny and weak. He hesitated for a moment before deciding to follow Kalix's words. Despite Lorenz looking physically superior, Kalix's aura seemed more trustworthy."Who told you to leave?!" Lorenz raised his voice when speaking to Luke, who boldly took a detour. "Hey, I said stop!""This is between you and me now, don't scare others," Kalix cut off Lorenz's anger and drew the attention of the people who had previously watched Luke leave with angry glares. "Or are you actually afraid to face me?""Who do you say is afraid, huh?!"As Lorenz's angry shout was heard, the students sitting at their respective desks looked slightly surprised and quietly bowed their heads, pretending not to know what was happening. Besides, Lorenz's reputation had spread throughout the campus. He was the most brutal
Revenge of the Abandoned Son 18. Mockery
Eugene glanced at her phone screen and considered ignoring it, she knew Jaxson’s purpose for contacting her at this hour. Likely to invite her home together, dragging her mother’s name into it.“Isn’t that important? If it is, we can reschedule dinner for another time,” Kalix remarked beside Eugene. He acted as though unaware of who was calling Eugene and for what purpose.At that moment, Eugene gazed at Kalix with a complex expression, then offered an apologetic smile. “I’ll take the call.”Kalix nodded subtly, allowing Eugene to step aside to answer Jaxson’s call. From Kalix’s perspective, someone had been tailing them from the start. No need for guessing, it was undoubtedly Jaxson’s hired hand.Quietly, Kalix chuckled at Jaxson’s old-fashioned methods. Yes, Kalix’s essence could indeed be said to originate from the future.Not long after Eugene left, the person, Rocky, approached Kalix with a mocking smile.“Yo, we meet again!” Rocky exclaimed.Kalix merely glanced at him without r
Revenge of the Abandoned Son 19. Michelin Restaurant
Kalix didn’t care what they thought, he said again, “So, can you open the membership using my mother’s identity? My mother has money.”“Your mother?” the waitress asked with a hint of sarcasm in her voice.“Yes, is that not possible?”“Of course it is,” the waitress smiled, “As long as your mother indeed has money.”Upon hearing the mockery aimed at his mother, Kalix completely lost his composure. He gazed at the waitress coldly, and even Eugene beside him could feel Kalix’s emotional shift.Eugene reached out to grab Kalix’s arm, intending to take him away, but Kalix didn’t seem embarrassed at all. Suddenly, Eugene had a vague guess in her heart.As for Rocky, who was quite far away, he couldn’t hear what they were talking about. As per Jaxson’s request, he was live streaming using one of his girlfriend’s accounts. Having personal conflicts with Kalix, Rocky would undoubtedly do his best to truly expose Kalix’s poverty.After a moment of silence, Kalix said to the waitress, “I want t

Revenge of the Abandoned Son 21. Two Hypocrites
Eugene returned with a guilty expression and addressed Kalix, "Someone is coming, may he... may he join us?""Of course," replied Kalix curtly, appearing rather indifferent. "Is it a friend of yours or a family member?""Well, it's... one might call him a friend. His mother is a friend of my mother's, as we were at the same university, so my mother entrusted me to him," Eugene explained her connection to Jaxson."Does that mean he's from our university? Is it in the same year?" "No, no. He's two years older than us. Yes, he's our senior. You've met him before." Eugene seemed somewhat disinterested in the topic.However, deliberately, Kalix inquired further. "I don't recall meeting... oh, is it the guy who picked you up at the pet cafe?""Yes, that's him."Right after Eugene mentioned this, Jaxson emerged. With his appearance and demeanor, Jaxson inevitably drew the attention of a few people. His attire, a baby blue blazer and dark blue satin pants, coupled with an expensive watch ado

After a few steps, he realized Eugene wasn't following behind. Turning around, he saw the two of them walking side by side. Annoyance gripped Jaxson's heart. How could Eugene ignore him and choose to walk with that unfamiliar guy?Jaxson took decisive steps towards Eugene and Kalix, grabbed the girl's hand, and angrily said, "Come on, let's go home."Eugene was startled, reflexively pulled her hand away, and pushed Jaxson. When she realized it was Jaxson, she immediately apologized. "I thought someone else was pulling my hand.""Yeah, no problem." Jaxson didn't show his anger, he concealed every impatience beh

"Aunt," Lucas called out after finishing hugging his mother."Aunt is the one who saved me, Mom," he continued to explain.Eugene recognized that face. The person called aunt by her child was Jane, who suddenly disappeared seven years ago. It would be a lie if Eugene said she wasn't surprised, but her surprise wasn't something negative. She just didn't expect to meet that woman again after so long, even in such an unexpected situation.Meanwhile, Kalix was still stunned by what he saw. Lucas came with someone else, instead of the police who were tasked with finding his son. For a moment, he was almost speechless, until Jane herself greeted first."What an incredibly extraordinary coincidence, isn't it?" Jane smiled until her eyes narrowed.

"Lucas! Be careful!" The shout came from Eugene. Watching her son continue to run around in the middle of the grass field in front of their house sometimes made Eugene feel like she was on the verge of a sudden heart attack. How could she not? Her five-year-old son was very active and almost never wanted to sit still for more than a minute. Eugene could only laugh as she watched Lucas proudly show off his catch, a small insect-shaped ball with black and reddish-orange patterns. "Are you happy to get it?" his mother asked, answered by her son's enthusiastic nod. A blade of grass fell from Lucas's head.

"Eugene, are you alright?" Kalix's worried expression couldn't be hidden when he saw his wife looking pale. Eugene smiled gently. Actually, her stomach was quite upset in the morning, perhaps due to indigestion or eating something wrong. She emerged from the bathroom after vomiting her breakfast this morning. "I think I'm fine," Eugene said casually. "Shouldn't we go to the doctor just in case? I'll take you right now," Kalix suggested. Seeing how caring her husband was, her heart felt warm, but she had to refuse, "I'm okay. Besides, I already have plans with my friends today." Kalix sighed deeply, his gaze shifting to his wife's stomach. "I don't mean to stop you, but how can you go out on an empty stomach? You just vomited all your food." Actually, Eugene didn't feel very hungry, but considering the effort the man had put into preparing breakfast this morning, she felt guilty. "I'll try to eat again."
