In the evening, Carl visited the Kalix class. As the students in the class dispersed one by one, Carl approached Kalix and warmly embraced his shoulders. He laughed joyfully and said, “I didn’t expect you to be beaten by that old professor.”

Feeling the embrace on his shoulders, Kalix turned to the side and looked at Carl with a flat expression.

However, with just that look, Carl’s cheerful laughter came to a halt. He cleverly withdrew, taking a step back from Kalix’s side. With awkward laughter, he said, “Haha, I was just kidding.”

Ignoring him, Kalix took a step forward. Although slightly dissatisfied, Carl followed him and spoke.

“Do you know there’s a team meeting today?”

“Mm,” Kalix replied shortly, not even bothering to give Carl a glance.

“Do you know where it is?”

Kalix shook his head honestly and said, “That’s why I need your help to take me there. Please.”

Upon hearing this plea for help, Carl felt a sense of superiority in his heart. However, thinking of Kalix’s flat

    Despite Kalix saying so, in reality, he had no interest in fighting today. However, if the other party desired it, he wouldn’t stop Carl and might even assist him a bit. The hypocrite Bernard intervened, “Don’t fight.” He stood by his friends and apologized on their behalf. Only now did Kalix fully shift his attention to Bernard, his gaze no longer indifferent but investigative.Despite Bernard’s gentle and polite appearance, Kalix knew he wasn’t as simple as he seemed. Considering Bernard’s close friendship with Jaxson, it was clear they both had duplicity in common. Kalix spoke to Bernard, “If your two friends apologize for their harsh words, this issue will be resolved.”“What did you say?! Apologize? Clearly, it’s this girl who’s at fault!” one of the two who spoke harshly retorted. Kalix, focusing on the speaker, didn’t hide the aggression in his eyes. “Don’t want to apologize?” Kalix asked coldly.Not only did the two feel Kalix’s strong aura, but Carl and his friends did too.

    Carl’s group consisted of only 5 members, with the addition of Kalix, making a total of 6. However, it was lively and cheerful as everyone had close relationships. Outside campus activities, seniority was forgotten, but it didn’t mean they were completely impolite.“Hey, tomorrow’s a holiday, so we all have to drink until we’re drunk!” Carl enthusiastically banged the table. He poured a glass of beer for himself, then asked others to pour in their glasses too.“I don’t drink,” said Iann.The senior next to him immediately put his arm around his shoulder. “You have to drink too! Look, Kyle is drinking too!”“Yeah, let’s drink, drink!”Feeling their enthusiasm, Kalix followed suit, drinking and talking. There were jokes and laughter among everyone. Although Kalix didn’t speak much, he listened seriously while continuously drinking, only occasionally responding when needed.The atmosphere unconsciously led everyone to drink a lot, and no one remained sober. The only difference was the se

  • Revenge of the Abandoned Son   31. A Good Friend

    When Kalix woke up the next morning, he found his phone lying on the side of his pillow, turned off due to a lack of battery. As he went about his morning activities, he recalled what had happened. Kalix was the kind of person who seemed calm when drunk and remained rational, but when alone, he became very emotional and easily offended. Even small things could affect his emotions. That’s why he avoided getting drunk, but last night was an accident. Previously, he had never experienced a laid-back evening with friends at university. His life had been too challenging, almost devoid of any peace, so he didn’t have close friends during his college days. “Did I do something weird when I was drunk?” Kalix asked the system. No answer. He thought the system was busy, so he didn’t force an answer. Quietly recalling what happened, some conversations flashed in his mind. Kalix rubbed his sore head from last night’s drinking, it was challenging for him to concentrate now.

  • Revenge of the Abandoned Son   32. Unexpected Invitation from Wealthy

    As the luxurious and expensive car approached them, Kalix seemed utterly indifferent. After all, he didn’t feel any connection with the owner of the car. His sole purpose for going out today was to visit the pet shop and accompany Eugene.However, in his mind, the system said, “That car is here to pick you up.”Certainly, this surprised Kalix. He inquired the system about the identity of the person and the purpose of their visit.Before the system could respond, the car had already stopped in front of them, blocking Jaxson’s car’s way. Seeing this, Jaxson, who was in a hurry, felt angry. He got out of the car to scold the car’s user but heard words he didn’t expect.He came here only to meet his younger brother as per his mother’s request, he didn’t even anticipate encountering Kalix. However, due to the recent incident at the restaurant, Jaxson wasn’t too surprised that Kalix could afford to stay in this expensive apartment.Unexpectedly, he faced an even more shocking scene.W

  • Revenge of the Abandoned Son   33. Snyder Mananov

    Kalix stared at the man with confusion. He knew, of course, that the person before him wasn’t Loric Mananov, the current head of the Mananov family. This fact didn’t surprise him, but he was slightly taken aback by who the person actually was.Snyder Mananov, the fifth son of Loric Mananov, infamous for being useless and playful. Kalix didn’t expect that he would be the one inviting him. It’s not that he disliked Snyder, but it was somewhat unexpected.“It seems you recognize me,” the voice sounded moments after Snyder realized Kalix’s presence. Snyder had concealed his earlier stern demeanor, and his current expression appeared quite casual with his usual mischievous smile.As a 29-year-old man, Kalix certainly understood the man’s intention in displaying firmness initially and then swiftly changing it. This man was two-faced as well, wasn’t he?Kalix entered without hesitation and sat in front of Snyder. His demeanor didn’t show any hesitation, as if he came to meet a friend rather

  • Revenge of the Abandoned Son   34. In A Good Mood

    With the key in his hand and the car in front of him, it’s rare for Kalix to display a helpless expression. He turns his face to the side, observing Snyder, who looks like a wealthy young master with no bright future, useless, and only knows how to spend his parents’ money.It’s a stark contrast to when they spoke privately a few moments ago.“What else? I gave you that car as a friendship gift, go and try it.”Kalix says nothing, remaining silent and staring at Snyder.“Oh, I see. You can’t drive the car. Then I’ll teach you.”“I can,” Kalix responds. “But I don’t know the roads around here.”Snyder nods understandingly. “Okay, let’s go. I’ll accompany you.”Inside the car, it’s just the two of them, so Snyder sheds the useless character of the second-generation rich. He asks Kalix, “You’re smart in investments, why bother playing around in university?”Ignoring the fact that his intelligence and accuracy in investments actually come from experiences in a previous life, Kalix answers

    The table reserved by Susan, Eugene’s mother, was by the window overlooking the parking area. As many people would join for dinner, she booked a relatively large table. Julie and Jaxson accompanied her, along with Eugene’s cousin, Sophie.When Kalix’s car entered the restaurant area, Sophie was the first to notice. Being a high school student, she was enthusiastic about nice and expensive things due to her peer influence. Her mouth filled with praise, “Wow, that’s a limited edition car, right?”Susan and Julie turned to where Sophie pointed, expressing their admiration. On the other side, Jaxson was busy with his phone, seemingly uninterested.As Kalix stepped out, Sophie complimented his looks. When Kalix assisted the passenger door, Sophie praised his politeness. Until the woman in the passenger seat emerged, and her face became visible to them.Sophie widened her eyes before showing her excitement. She exclaimed, “That’s Eugene, isn’t it? She came with her friend.”Susan and Julie

  • Revenge of the Abandoned Son   36. Awkwardness

    “I don’t care whether he’s alive or not, I just know I have only my mother in my life.” As soon as Kalix uttered those words, he noticed Mason’s presence a few steps away from their table. Mason, having heard Kalix’s words to some extent, furrowed his rare brows, but the emotion quickly vanished as he approached everyone. Initially coming to pick up his wife and child while joining the dinner, Mason intentionally arrived late because Mr. Celeste wasn’t with them. However, what he didn’t expect was that his ‘beloved’ son, whom he had forgotten, was also here, sitting at the same table with his wife and child. Mason felt a bit uneasy, but his accustomed poker face showed no signs of being affected. He calmly greeted those present. Kalix had been aware of Mason’s presence from the system alert, so he deliberately added his words, though he knew it wouldn’t greatly affect Mason’s mood. Seeing Mason, Kalix smiled thinly with a hint of mockery in his eyes. Ignoring that, Mason turned to J

    "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. "I found the child on the south beach. I didn't expect him to be your son.""Yes. I was very surprised and of course, very grateful for helping Lucas meet us." Kalix smiled sincerely.Eugene also thanked Jane, but she couldn't help but scold Lucas i

    "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. Five years had passed, and Eugene had proven herself capable of fulfilling her duties as a mother. Lucas was active and intelligent, inheriting his good looks from Kalix, but his personality, no one knew where he got it from. "Lucas," called Kalix, who had just come out of the house. He was carrying a cup of tea to give to his beloved wife. "Can't you go a day without making yo

    Before Hannah contacted Kalix's number, she found her friend's phone ringing, only to discover it was from Eugene's mother-in-law. At first, she hesitated to tell the truth, fearing it might shock the middle-aged woman. However, following Mia's advice, she eventually broke the news cautiously. Then, news came from the doctor who checked Eugene's condition, and yes, the pregnancy news made everyone who heard it feel happy. Eugene felt incredulous at first, but then she felt happy. Meanwhile, Kalix was still trying to digest his wife's words. His breathing gradually calmed, but his eyes couldn't lie. "Oh, what did you say earlier?" Eugene glanced at Kalix to reassure him and laughed before answering, "I'm pregnant, Kalix. Pregnant with your child." After seeing her husband's expression, she chuckled softly—feeling amused by what she was seeing now. "You didn't expect that, did you?" At that moment, Kalix felt the heat of his anxiety dissipating, replaced by a happiness that was eve

    "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." It seemed Kalix didn't quite agree with Eugene's words. However, he also fel

    All Kalix could see was darkness. He did not know where he was or what time it was. His mind was filled with the bloody figure of Eugene. He felt pain in his heart, regret, anger, and all sorts of emotions raging inside him one by one, making him increasingly despondent. Squatting down and hugging his knees, Kalix did not know how to release the emotions in his heart.He could not laugh, could not get angry, could not do anything. It's as if his body was made to remain silent.In that boundless darkness, a mechanical voice suddenly echoed."Hello, Host Kalix Owen!"Hearing that, Kalix immediately looked up. He remembered, there was a system that could help him, a chance for him to fix everything. Yes, he remembered, he had called upon the system, awakened the system that could assist him."System! System, are you there?!" Kalix searched around in the darkness hoping he would find the system he was looking for.In despair, he suddenly found hope.The mechanical voice of the system echo

    A 5-year-old boy sat on his bed, gazing at the snowflakes falling from the sky behind his bedroom window. The yard was blanketed in pure white, looking incredibly beautiful despite the cold air accompanying it.Eugene entered the room, the place where children under 5 years old from the orphanage slept."Lucas, what do you see?" Eugene asked gently as she approached the only child there.The little boy, Lucas, turned around, seeing the pretty sister who often came to take care of him and his friends in the same room."There's snow, it's beautiful," Lucas said with a sparkle in his eyes. However, realizing he could not touch the snow, the sparkle in his eyes faded.Lucas had been in poor health since he was little, which is why his movements in the orphanage were very limited.Eugene held the boy's chin, smiling softly, and then said, "Do you want to go out?"Of course, the child nodded in agreement, he really wanted to leave his room to see the snow like the other children, even if he

From the look in her eyes, there was no disgust, but rather guilt and regret. Her emotions were too complex for her to understand what she was feeling at the moment.Spirits are usually sensitive, and Kalix could sense the turmoil of emotions Eugene was going through. It all left him confused.A woman familiar to Kalix approached Eugene, patting her shoulder and offering words of comfort."He can no longer feel pain, maybe he's at peace now.

    After nearly 2 hours of shopping, they decided to find a place to eat outside the shopping center. On both sides of the shopping building, there were many eateries.Based on internet recommendations, they decided to visit one of the restaurants nearby. As they walked towards the restaurant, Eugene suddenly remembered something."It seems like I accidentally left my watch in the watch store when I was trying on a new one earlier," Eugene said while lightly tapping her forehead."I'll go back to the store, you just wait for me at the restaurant, okay?""Okay." Eugene nodded and watched Kalix walk back towards the shopping center. Meanwhile, she stood still there and waited for Kalix instead of going into the restaurant.Kalix knew Eugene would wait for him outside the restaurant or even follow him, so he quickly walked back to the shopping center. Fortunately, the streets weren't too crowded with pedestrians at that time.After retrieving the watch from the store's employee, he exited t
