"Well, you see."
"So you see, before I answer your question, I need to tell you guys something," William said, his nervousness oozing out of his voice.
"Sure, go ahead," both Rex and Myra said in unison, a bit curious about what could cause their son to suddenly get nervous.
"I'm going to go to the neutral continent," William said, finally ignoring his hesitation and choosing not to beat around the bush.
"What??" Both Rex and Myra exclaimed, doubting their own ears.
Why would their 10-year-old suddenly ask to leave their protection right after declaring war on a dangerous criminal organisation only to travel to one of the most dangerous places in the world?
Surely they must have misheard, right?
"Well, you heard me the first time I'm going to the neutral continent." William sighed as he witnessed his parents disbelief, which arguably made sense.
