Chapter 62 - Mother Vic and Father Vic

The last scene Victor saw was of Tyron standing quietly on a corner of a long street, watching as the teacher he cared about finally left him.

The him of that time had clearly reached adulthood long ago, but when he looked at the back of this person, he suddenly turned back into the youngest version of himself, the little Tyron with the sharp tiger teeth.

This little Tyron didn't cry, didn't speak, and didn't have any expression on his face at all.

After watching the scene quietly, he went home and sat on a swing.

Perhaps Tyron didn't realize, but Victor suddenly realized that this scene was very similar to scenes of Tyron's mother. He sat on the swing, silent, neither angry nor sad, and it was as though he had lost some sort of strength.

After that, Tyron's memories stopped. That had been his entire childhood.

The years when he'd been naive only added up to a few years in total, less than a thousandth of his whole life.

......

After coming out of the ultra-light speed channel, the medical ship made its way straight to the general hospital, where intense preparations were made for the operation.

Victor was tossed out once the initial phase was complete.

The doctors expressed: "This operation will last several days during which there can be no interference. Family members should go home to prepare and wait. Don't worry too much, and don't remain in the hospital like an ornament."

Victor, of course, was worried to death, but he didn't want to be a disturbance, so he kept an eye on the family-only information-update device and went home first.

As mentioned before, Victor's father was from the Phoenix Empire, but his mother was not. The two of them actually lived on a planet not far away.

This time when Victor came back, he had no way to avoid being called in for questioning by his mother.

.

Mother Vic was a career-oriented woman who had been born in the Chaoyang Alliance. She climbed up to her present position, then married Father Vic. Yes.

The married couple sat opposite Victor, and Mother Vic spoke first, "You're finally willing to come back?"

Victor pursed his lips.

Mother Vic continued, "You went so far to hide from me and even went and took three degrees. Do you finally understand that you want money? You made a poor little company, then cheated the Murphys' son into working for you--and yet you were forced to fight a lawsuit as soon as you met a small livestream anchor?"

Victor said, "I didn't start that company for money..."

"Lawsuits are for the sake of money." Mother Vic crossed her legs and spoke with cold dignity, "Now, tell me again, is knowledge more important, or is wealth more important?"

Little Vic stubbornly insisted, "Knowledge is more important!"

Mother Vic picked up her coffee and spoke coolly, "Oh, so you quit the position of president in order to do what? Open a coffee shop or flower shop? Go back to Earth or some other corner for low-budget travel? Read and recite poems every day, or write some sentimental nonsense, doing nothing of consequence and rely on your lover to support you?"

Little Vic: "... I'm not eating off him for nothing! I came back this time for the sake of my male god--"

Mother Vic interrupted indifferently, "Come back when you've thought things through. I'm not even going to lend you tuition fees this time, what will you do?"
