No matter how much magic the man used, the black mana leaking from him in his fury was clearly visible to Qiong Xing's eyes.
"...Albe."
"I know."
"Your hands?"
"I don't need them. I'll finish this myself."
Qiong Xing knew it was cruel to ask someone to kill his own father.
But after everything that had happened, forgiveness was no longer possible.
"Albe."
"...What?"
"Thank you... for becoming part of this family."
At first, Albe had only been searching for his younger brother.
After finally finding him through Qiong Xing, he had been devastated when he was rejected.
He could have chosen to give up.
Yet he had followed them because he did not want to be left behind.
Because he, too, had been starving for love and family.
It had not taken long for Qiong Xing to realize what kind of person he was.
A kind boy who cared deeply about his brother and his family.
That was why they had become family.
Why they had promised to live together.
