“I really miss Zachary… When will he be discharged from the military? I don’t want him to defend the country anymore. He has been in the military for eight years. It’s time for him to come home.”

“Silly child. Do you know what you are talking about? Without a country, where would there be a home?”

Adam spoke as he gently patted Chloe’s back.

Ever since Zachary joined the military, it had caused a lot of hardship for Chloe. He had witnessed everything she had done, especially after he fell ill and was hospitalized. Chloe worked tirelessly, often sleeping only two hours a day. She had to work, pay off debts, and take care of him. She even dropped out of university.

If it weren’t for Thomas’ timely appearance, those dark days would have continued for who knew how long.

Perhaps tired from crying, Chloe fell asleep in her father’s arms. Adam gently carried his daughter back to her bedroom.

Then, he opened a bottle of wine alone in the living room and drank by himself.

“Adam, you are truly useless. Not only can you not earn money, you even got sick and hospitalized. You can’t be of any help and only cause trouble. Because of you, Chloe couldn’t even attend university… Sigh!”

Drinking alone could make one very drunk. After only a few drinks, Adam fell asleep on the sofa.

At that moment, Thomas was in the bedroom of Northpine Villa, diligently practicing kicks.

The battle with Duban Pearson had alerted him. He indeed had a weakness in his lower body’s strength compared to his upper body. He barely won against Duban, but what if the martial arts experts from the other Five Greatest Families were even stronger than him? By then, his lower body would undoubtedly become his weak point.
