Chapter 413 - Section 275: Confrontation (Part 2)_2

"Yes, Mason was actually the best choice, he was born incomplete, without the pain brought by surgery later in life, I know he feared this path, but I believed he would come back to inherit my mantle, but I didn't expect... he would eventually die at the hands of those children." Old Hoffman said this as he looked at Malin, "Although they are fallen, in my eyes, those children are just pitiful beings, the ones I chose, all had the proper status and abilities, so I apologize to them, the love I gave to them was actually hypocritical, I raised them, but it was just to send them on a path of suffering... That's why I wanted to live a bit longer, to let more children live past the age of thirty, to help them cross the bitter sea, but I never thought, those children would rather become Chaos than inherit my way."
