Revenge of the Abandoned Son 51. Silent
Kalix couldn’t sleep, he stood silently on the balcony, holding a cigarette without lighting it. Clearly, he knew something was wrong with himself—emotions becoming harder to control, a desire to solve every problem with violence. Yet, on the other hand, he didn’t want to admit he might have mental issues. After all, he had died once, experienced the worst and most painful day he could never forget.He sighed, forcing himself to stay calm and rational. Unconsciously, he stood there until the early morning, even as the sky brightened. Only when the system spoke did he realize, “Go to sleep if your mind has started to calm down. It’s already morning.”There was a furrow on Kalix’s forehead, but he didn’t reject the system’s words, instead, he went to his room. Slowly lying down, he closed his eyes. In his brief sleep, he dreamed—dreamed of his past life. On the night his mother died, he wasn’t by her side, rushing to Oakville with a sense of sadness, guilt, and regret for not being
Revenge of the Abandoned Son 52. Involving Jaxson
In the morning, Carl received a call from Iann’s brother inquiring about Iann’s whereabouts. It was revealed that Iann hadn’t returned home all night, didn’t answer calls from his family, and hadn’t communicated. That prompted Carl to contact Iann and only after several calls did he find out that Iann was hospitalized. Carl went there to see him and figure out what had happened. Upon learning the truth, he angrily posted a status on his social media account. Eugene, who was already friends with him, saw the status and replied, asking what happened. Carl explained the situation to Eugene, considering that she was also close friends with Kalix. As expected, after Eugene learned about it, she hurried to Kalix’s apartment and searched for him. The security guard there honestly informed her of Kalix’s location, allowing Eugene to go meet him immediately. Seeing Kalix safe, Eugene’s anxiety slowly subsided. Unconsciously, she reached for Kalix’s hand, holding it, and said, “It’s good th
Revenge of the Abandoned Son 53. Mason’s Threat
What happened at Dominic’s residence undoubtedly reached Kalix’s ears. As someone involved, the police would surely keep him informed of the situation. Even if not, Kalix had other ways to gather that information.His mind system was also linked to the surveillance cameras at the police station, a connection established when he visited there last night. Only after reading the police notice did Kalix enter Iann’s care room. Eugene was there, engaged in conversation with Iann, and Carl had just joined them.Upon seeing Kalix arrive, Iann immediately asked, “What about Lorenz now?”“He’s been detained since last night and has been declared guilty. As for Rocky, we can only wait,” Kalix explained.Iann nodded without showing any other expression. On the other hand, Carl was the most upset and angry. He snorted in disgust upon hearing it, then exclaimed, “I knew those two were no good. I even suspect they deliberately targeted Kalix to make our group look bad in the competition!”“Tha
Revenge of the Abandoned Son 54. Ignorance
Kalix made no effort to hide his disdain for Mason. From his tone, manner of speaking, to his responses to Mason’s every word, there was not a hint of care. Not even a willingness to engage with a stranger.This naturally fueled Mason’s dissatisfaction, making him even angrier, especially with Kalix’s last words.“What did you just say, huh?!” Mason retorted with a raised voice. “What makes you so confident to claim that you’re like me? Do you really want to be considered my son?”Upon hearing Mason’s anger and his words, Kalix just chuckled. As before, he didn’t avoid Mason, instead, he let the old man know that he was being mocked.“You’re laughing? What are you laughing at?!” Mason’s angry voice echoed through the phone.Kalix remained calm, though happy, restraining himself slightly given the hospital setting.“Mason Dominic, truth be told, I don’t want a father like you, so I don’t need your acknowledgment,” Kalix said after sensing Mason had calmed down a bit.Before Mason could
Revenge of the Abandoned Son 55. Snyder's Secret
Looking at Snyder's irritating face, Kalix felt extremely displeased. However, it only heightened his curiosity, prompting him to seek the truth. Ignoring Snyder, Kalix took out his phone again and mysteriously tinkered with it."What are you doing?" Snyder asked, sensing Kalix's unusual behavior and the diminishing questions directed at him.Snyder observed every move of the younger man before finally making a guess."You want to ask your mom, huh? Quite childish."Kalix glanced at Snyder, displeased, but he didn't seem too offended by his words.Shortly after, a phone call was answered, and a familiar voice echoed."Hello...""Mom," Kalix called out simultaneously.Grace responded with a question, "Yes, what's up with you?""Nothing. I have one question, Mom."As Kalix spoke, he could feel Snyder's dissatisfied gaze, laced with a hint of threat. However, Kalix paid no attention and continued talking to his mother."What do you want to ask, dear?""Mom, do you know Snyder-" Kalix's w

The car stopped at the drop-off area alongside another SUV. As they exited the car, they were immediately greeted by familiar faces – Bernard and his team.Although Kalix and the others tried to ignore them, it didn’t mean they could avoid trouble. Bernard approached with his fake polite smile.“Hey, we meet again! Didn’t expect you guys to stay here too,” Bernard greeted them warmly.Carl didn’t respond, he didn’t even offer a formal smile. He simply walked away, seemingly oblivious to anyone speaking. The others did the same.On the other hand, Bernard appeared unfazed by the cold reception, maintaining his formal smile. This, of course, had a specific impact on anyone witnessing the scene – his intention was to make it seem like Carl and his group had a bad attitude.However, he overlooked one person.Kalix returned his polite smile and nodded, understanding Bernard’s motive.Following Carl into the lobby, Kalix overheard Kyle saying, “That guy looks overly confident!”Others nodde
Revenge of the Abandoned Son 57. The Competition Begins
Just as he finished grooming himself, Kalix received unexpected guests. Carl and Iann stood at his bedroom door. Seeing them, Kalix furrowed his brow in confusion. “What’s going on? Are you guys having trouble?” he asked. They both shook their heads, and Iann replied, “No. Carl wants to invite you to have dinner at the hotel restaurant.” Before Kalix could respond, Carl added an explanation, “It would be more enjoyable to dine together rather than in our separate rooms. Isn’t that right, Iann?” With Carl mentioning his name, Iann reluctantly nodded. Although it was evident that Carl personally coerced him into joining dinner downstairs. Observing Carl’s enthusiasm, Kalix didn’t refuse. He said, “Wait for me while I change.” “Okay, go change your clothes quickly!” Carl exclaimed eagerly. He told Iann that it’s rare for them to enjoy such luxurious hotel service, so they should make the most of it. Five minutes later, the three of them headed downstairs to the restaurant without

Impressed, Mr. Celeste takes the initiative to greet Kalix upon seeing him at the competition opening, despite their differing statuses. On the other hand, as Kalix notices Mr. Celeste’s arrival, he promptly stands up and shakes the man’s hand. “Hello, Sir,” Kalix says first. He wouldn’t let the head of the Celeste family initiate the greeting. Mr. Celeste appreciates his demeanor, giving Kalix a little extra credit in his mind. “You’re Kalix, right? Pleasure to meet you here.” Kalix offers a polite smile, not appearing overly eager to please the man.

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.

"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.

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?"

"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

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
