'... 'I'm pissed!'

In order to suppress his boiling anger, Seongjin exercised extreme patience.

The reason he did not grab the Emperor by the collar right away was purely because of the idea of ​​filial piety that was deeply engraved in his bones as the benefactor of the country of courtesy in the East.

After all, you can't be a bastard who wields violence against the man you call father!

[Do you understand now?]

Seonghwang, perhaps aware of Seongjin's feelings, patted his head quite affectionately and continued speaking.

[You must fully understand how dangerous the words you just said were. Such hasty definitions, doubts, and negativity can sometimes lead to dire and irreversible consequences.]

But his explanation didn't even reach Seongjin's ears anymore.

No, he called me his son!

At one point did you treat me like a child who was thrown into the water, and now you threaten me with bloodshed under the guise of discipline?

[Above all, son. You are an oracle of unprecedented potential. It has infinite potential to overcome the boundaries of the world.]

Didn't they say that it will help me avoid making heartless choices in the future?

You reassured me that you would always be my strong support, but now you are acting like a self-harming blackmailer!

[So you should not be defined carelessly in any world or in anyone's mouth. Even by yourself.]

I was able to keep Isabella alive because you were there.

This means that instead of immediately turning over Milo and Scarzzapino, I was able to take my time and let things proceed as they should!

[so... Mores, are you listening?]

Why does this guy think I was put in charge of this annoying monster task force in the first place?

Isn't this all to help you and protect Delcross, where you and the people of the Seonghwang family live?

But what is the meaning of Delcross without you?

[why... ... .]

Seonghwang, who only then noticed Seongjin's irreverent gaze, pulled his hand away with a slightly embarrassed expression.

[Why are you doing that? What is uncomfortable? I tried to block him, but he got hurt in the explosion earlier... ... .]

Soon, a hand filled with divine power approached, but Seongjin struck the hand away in a defiant manner and opened his mouth with a sullen face.

[Did you burst your arm so loudly just to give that explanation?]

Then Seonghwang blinked for a moment, then nodded hesitantly.

[...] okay. An example of how it can lead to such drastic results... ... .]

[So, you committed such a ridiculous self-harm just to set an example?]

Seongjin's voice when he asked that was very calm.

However, Seonghwang, who noticed the unusual anger hidden within him, quietly kept his mouth shut while secretly observing Seongjin's feelings.

[Do you know? I just thought my father was really dying.]

[...] ... .]

[I thought you would completely disappear from this world! You said I was your son? But what on earth are you doing in front of your child? yes?]
