Those informations showed just how stronger Claire is compared to Cleon, but at it gave Cleon peace of mind to know that even if Claire is stronger than he is, she is on his side.
Just then the system rang into Cleon's ear.
"HIDDEN QUEST, PROVE YOURSELF TO LEONIDAS WINCHESTER.
QUEST REWARD:
500 UNIVERSAL COINS, 10 STAT POINTS
SKILL: BASIC SWORDSMANSHIP,
TITTLE: WINCHESTER FAMILY'S HIER"
Cleon ignored the system because he spotted a portrait of a woman. He instantly stopped his thoughts and walked towards the portrait. The woman on the portrait is showing a warm smile. For some reason, even without any memories about his past or his relationship with the woman on the portrait, Cleon had a very strong feeling.
Cleon:"Good morning mother."
Cleon knew, he had a strong feeling, that the woman in the portrait, his mother is already a distant memory and regret for him and for anyone who knew her.
Clare:"Young master"
Claire observed Cleon and noticed that minimal change from his mood, she was afraid that the now cheerful Cleon will go back to the Cleon who is full of hatred again. But she herself have regrets, she also hated herself for nat being able to do anything at that time, but she made a promise to the woman in the portrait, so she steeled herself and calld for Cleon.
Cleon who heared Claire call him looked at her direction, he immediately smiled at Claire and reassured her that everything is alright
Cleon:"I'm fine"
Cleon admired the portrait one more time before observing the living room where he arrived. The living room is large, but just like his room, the living room is also completely white and only contains minimal furnitures. Theirs really something wrong with this house, Cleon thought.
After a while Cleon and Claire arrived at the dining table, there is a man sitting there who looked like he was waiting for their arrival. He looked like he us in his mid 39's, with deep dark hair and shart brown eyes, he looked like the reflection of Cleon excluding an aura of deep hatred.
Cleon:"Good morning father."
Cleon greeted his father with a smile before taking a look at his stats. Cleon was shocked at just how strong his father us compared to him.

Cleon was amazed by his fathers strength. He wanted to try using the dark magic that he inherited from his father together with the light magic that he inherited from his mother. He tried to cover his fist with both light and dark magic. A black and white colored aura appeared surrounding his fist. He was satisfied with the result of his experiment and tried to take his sit.
But even before he disabled the magic aura that surrounds his fist, Leonidas appeared infront of him in an instant. Leonidas threw a punch at Cleon. Cleon, used straight punch aswell which is covered with light and dark magic at Leonidas out of reflex.
Cleon's straight punch collided with his father's fist, but unlike Cleon's, Leonidas didn't use magic, Cleon's fist which is covered in magic collided with Leonidas' bare fist.
A srong dull sound was produced from the impact, Cleon was startled but kept a straight face, he was able ro withstand his father's punch because of his magic but he was still pushed back by his father's bare punch. Leonidas on the other hand was surprised, he couldn't believe what he had just witnessed, the light magic that his wife's speciality and his very own specialty, dark magic is being used by his son simultaneously.
Leonidas was surprised by the different aura comming from Cleon when he arrived at the dining table, Cleon who always emits a strong aura filled with hatred just like him, for some reason is now emitting a warm, kind aura just like when he was young, and more importantly just like his wife Catherine.
But Leonidas was even more surprised when Cleon manifested light and dark magic at the same time, thats why out of excitement, he leaped and threw a punch at his son who up until now normally just uses dark magic just like himself. He failed to control his strength out of excitement in which even he himself was startled but what startled him even more is that his son, Cleon withstood his punch.
The father-son duo stood still not moving an inch dumbfounded. The one who broke the silence was Claire, she rushed to check if Cleon was alright but even she was surprised. She knows the full extent of Leonidas' power so she knew that Leonidas didn't hold back from that punch, but Cleon is completely fine after taking that punch.
Claire:"Young master are you alright? Oh you are completely fine thank goodness, wait how are you fine?"
Claire doesn't know uf she should be revealed or surprised.
Meanwhile, Cleon heared the familiar yet distant voice of the system that only he can hear.
"CONGRATULATIONS ON PROVING YOURSELF TO LEONIDAS WINCHESTER, THE HIDDEN QUEST REWARDS CAN NOW BE DISTRIBUTED"
Cleon ignored the system's voice once again.
