Three months later.

In a bedroom of a rundown house, Ren is lying in bed with a thin layer of sweat on his face, while letting out sounds of discomfort.

On the side of the bed sits Aunty Leah, carefully wiping his sweaty forehead with a wet towel.

She had a haggard look, as if she lost many and gained little. Every few seconds a red scale-like pattern would appear on Ren's skin, and quickly vanish.

She has long noticed this, especially the aura of a dragon that is released every time.

Even with her power she couldn't wake him up.

This made her even more concerned.

What did he encounter in the cellar?

Where did that barrier come from?

What will happen to him from now on?

She had many questions, but no answers, all she could do was hope that he could recover.

She had no idea that Ren was suffering unimaginable pain that could even frighten the gods.

If she knew, she would probably do something foolish.

Aunty Leah closed her eyes to make a prayer to the great dao, wishing Ren will wake up soon and be recovered.

No one will know if the great dao heard her prayers or not, because at that moment, Ren sat up with a jolt, as if he got poked in the rear by something sharp.

Groggily looking around, Ren noticed Aunty Leah, who was busy wringing out a towel.

She was so mentally drained she didn't notice that Ren woke up.

Seeing Aunty Leah's appearance, with her haggard look, and sweat drenched forehead, a little warmth appeared in his heart as he started to tear up.

"Aunty Leah"

Hearing Ren's voice, Aunty Leah stopped wringing the towel, while her hands trembled a little, she slowly looked forward.

At the sight of Ren waking up, tears formed at the corner of her eyes.

She reached out a trembling hand and cupped his cheek in her palm as she stared into his eyes.

After a few moments, when she noticed Ren's face turning slightly red, she embraced him as she started to cry.

Why did she start to cry? It's simple, even though she isn't Ren's mother, she still raised him as her own, and not only does she consider him as her own son, he is the only hope of the Elsiv clan.

As someone her age, she should leave these things to the newer generation.

Being held by Aunty Leah, and being soaked in her tears, Ren realized that this is the first time he has seen her cry so much.

Remembering how she has raised him as her own all these years, he couldn't help but cry as well.

-….

Feeling a sensation of being watched, a tingling feeling went down Ren's spine as he shivered.

This disturbed Aunty Leah, who thought he was cold.

"Ah!"

Ren couldn't help but yell in surprise as Aunty Leah pushed him down suddenly, after she pulled the blanket up to his shoulders and quickly left.

She left quickly because she didn't want Ren to see her tears anymore, she didn't want to burden him anymore.

She knew, that the scale pattern that kept appearing on him meant trouble.

Ren was shocked at this sudden occurrence, he had no idea what happened, or why, just that Aunty Leah, while crying, forcefully covered him with a blanket.

"What the hell?"

-Are you done?

Hearing a voice come out of nowhere, Ren jumped out of bed and landed on the floor, his feet making no sound at all.

He didn't notice this difference.

"Who is it?"

-Me

Hearing the voice again, Ren ran to the window and peered out.

"Where are you?"

-Over here

Ren finally realized that he wasn't hearing anything, "Where?"

-Right here

"Right here?"

-Yes

Pointing at his forehead as his finger trembled a little, Ren crossed his fingers as he hoped that what he was thinking wasn't true, "Here?"

-Bingo, dumb*ss

Shocked, Ren's face turned pale with fear as he trembled all over.

"NOOO!!"

After this he fainted in bed.

Yes, he fainted.

He had thought he was going crazy, he didn't want to be the local loony.

-Ah, I didn't get to introduce myself…..

-Ah, I also forgot the interrogation…..
