Chapter 35 – Fokay [3]
Kaden found himself back inside his house, standing before his family once more. As he looked at them—looked at their warm faces, the subtle worry in their eyes—he didn't feel fear. Even if he should considering it might be the last time he will see them.
Instead, he looked at his father with something close to… disdain.
"Father," he said, voice flat, "I heard somewhere that a damn idiot once said that only one in a million ends up in a lethal situation their first time in Fokay."
He tilted his head slightly.
"Is that true?"
Garros stared at him, face caught in an awkward twitch. 'Why do I feel like I'm the damn idiot he's talking about?' he thought bitterly.
But, as expected, he wore his signature grin a second later.
"A damn idiot indeed. It's actually one in a billion, my son. Don't listen to those dumb bastards out there, alright? HAHAHAH!" Garros laughed, loud and carefree.
Kaden's lips twitched. He didn't say another word.
