here is a mid sized traditional japanese house and one can feel the history while looking at it from outside. inside the courtyard, a middle aged lady is hanging some recently washed clothes while humming a peaceful rhyme. her name is yamamoto megumi and she is the mother of yamamoto ken our mc . she is an average beauty but her humble and honest personality is liked by everyone .
she is alone in the house as others are out right now . Ken's dad and big sis are out working ang grandparents are gone on a hot spring tour. mom is done with hanging clothes now and is going to the kitchen to prepare food for her son who promised to visit today after a long time . she is proud of her son who takes his boxing and part time job seriously , even though because of the busy schedule ken cant visit her regularly . she looks forward to everytime when her son visits the next day after his match is over and is satisfied with that .
meanwhile ken is busy multiplying the 500,000 yen he saved with himself from the lottery money using day trading . he is using the powers of EYE OF TRUTH while choosing the stocks that can bring him maximum profit in an hour . he hasn't forgotten his promise to mom that he will visit home in a hour and half from now , besides with his powers money making is too easy for him and he can do that anytime . he even left his part time job of the convenient store for a while now after obtaining his newfound power .

" ken , why aren't your chopsticks moving ? you dont like the taste of your mom's cooking anymore "
" stop teasing me mom . you know that that's not true . besides I already ate 3 servings of rice , do you want me to get fat ? I'm a pro boxer for God's sake. "
" yes yes , my son is great and I am proud of him " mom replies with a sweet smile while hugging ken lightly .. " ne ken , I'm sorry about .."
ken interrupts as he already knew this topic " mom , come on stop worrying already . it's a good thing that sis wants to become a professional cook now besides 3 years have passed already so she will have a hard time studying medicine now anyway . "
mom is relieved after knowing that ken is not angry with his big sis " that's true . she should follow the path that she likes " mom smiles and continues " but son , what to do with all that money now ? "
" hmm.. just leave it to dad , he will make good use of it . mom , when is sis coming back from Paris? she is ignoring my calls ... "
" moo.. ken really cares about his big sis ,how cute "
" dont tease me " ken says embarrassingly as he knows that people call him sis con at his back ...
" dont worry , you know that she will be fine there more than anybody . besides she has just arrived there and it will take hersome time to settle down "
" that's true too . tell me immediately if she calls you to discuss her problems. hmphf you both always leave me alone when it comes to these matters "
" okay , I promise to tell you immediately this time. it's her brother's duty to protect her after all besides I can only do so much on the phone anyway... "
" good. so has dad quit alcohol for good or" ken asks in a little depressed tone as he remembers that his dad's drinking habits are becoming worse and worse day by day ..
" he will be fine son , dont worry . " mom consoles ken but she herself is really worried about her husband . " ken , believe in your dad ,okay ? "
ken nods lightly and shows a little forced smile to mom . while inwardly he is burning with rage which is directed at the friend of his dad Honda James who had the nerve to betray his dad shamelessly..
it was this moment when ken swore that he will take revenge on Honda as it was possible now with THE EYE OF TRUTH .
