146 Chapter 138 - Still Family's Issues.

"Although what happened a week ago is not the real reason behind his anxiety, but it's certainly a trigger. I would not talk about the far past where you forced your son to learn things that is too tedious for a child or stopping him from making friends with the villagers as you think they will affect the 'standard' of your son. I will just talk about what happened in this whole week." said Ben.

"Actually I really worried if it's caused by Chris since he could be quite ruthless sometimes, but at the same time, I really doubt if he could be this ruthless. But luckily it's not his fault. From my conversation with your son, I found out that you are the main cause of his anxiety." said Ben.

"What? Me? How is that even possible?" said Mr. Teacher, refused to believe what said by Ben.

Ben smiled in a rather sarcastic manner.

"Then, in your opinion, what is the main reason for his unusual behavior?" Ben asked.

"It's because of his cowardice character, he is scared by such a trivial thing, I had told him not to interact with those village kids but he didn't listen to me, and now he gets himself involved in this dirty thing because of them, I'm trying to solve things for him but he is too coward, he should be ashamed of himself." said Mr. Teacher.

"Hmm, I actually wondering about what kind of solution you are having for him." said Ben.

"I will prove to that old man this thing had nothing to do with my son, it's that orphaned girl who stupidly falls into the well on her own." said Mr. Teacher who obviously doesn't know that Junior had returned.

Ben looks at him with a 'what?' look.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Ben told Mr. Teacher the 'information' he gets from the conversation with Darrie just now. According to Ben, Darrie realized about his own mistakes and felt self-blaming about that, so he was looking for a chance to give a proper apology to Kiffy but not allowed by his father, his father had forbidden him from interacting with all the kids in the village, or to be more accurate, Darrie is not allowed to step out of the house before his father 'solved' the issue. The guilt in him increased every day, and the more he thinks of what he did and that hallucination from Chris, the more he blamed himself and felt sorry to Kiffy.

"In my opinion, the most efficient way is to let him have a proper apology to that girl." said Ben.

"What? If he did that it means that he admits his own mistake. Even if he really did that, it should not be his fault, he was merely affected by those kids. And the villagers are just exaggerating the whole thing." said Mr. Teacher.

"Ah..." Ben frowned as he heard the response from Mr. Teacher, he feels that this man is the one that should experience the suffering of the poor girl instead of his son. And so...

At the same time, in the room, Darrie had told his mother everything, as advised by Ben. His mother hugs him tightly while thinking of what should she do, if she followed her son's intention, her husband will be very angry, but at the same time, she wants her son to stop suffering every day. She hesitated.

"Let's go to the Chief's house." said Mrs. Teacher after some thoughts.

She is ready to slam open the main door and left the house with her son to show her husband her dedication. However as she steps out of the room, she saw a rather surprising sight, her husband is sitting on a chair while glaring blankly at the ceiling.

"He would not wake up in the next two hours, so, go ahead, do what you are going to do." said Ben while adjusting his glasses.

Meanwhile, underwater cave, Mrs. White's lab (?). Sky and the others are examining all the equipments in the lab, and to their surprise, the whole place still functioning well as if someone has been doing regular maintenance on all the equipment despite the fact that no one should have known about this place except for Junior. Then Sky found a rather eye-catching computer that shows 'For Junior.' on the screen.

"Hey! Have a look at this." said Sky.

"It seems like Mrs. White had left a message for Junior." said Chris.

They examined the computer for a while and found out that the computer needs a handprint to unlock it, it has a handprint panel at the side just like the main entrance. Junior placed his hand on the panel, the screen changed. However, instead of showing any viewable messages, the whole screen shows some random numbers and letters.

"What is this?" said Bob, obviously, this is not the language in Kapis Dimension either.

"Are these some sort of code?" said Maria.

"It looks like some sort of second layer security protection, which is almost the same as the one used by Kingdom for some confidential old documents." said Chris.

"How should we unlock it then? Chris, do you know how to do it?" Seito asked.

"Yes, I could, but since this is not my specialty, so it will take a longer time, that guy there can do better than me." said Chris while pointing at Sky.

Sky stared at Chris with a helpless look, Chris gives him a thumbs up and a rather fake smile, Sky sighed and started typing at a really fast pace, which caused the images on the screen flashed rapidly...

*Something out of the story

Sky: "Dear readers."

Chris: "Hmm?"

Sky: "As what Chris said. Right now, this story is free on the authorized platform, so please read it from authorized platforms as mental support for the writer."

Chris: "Mhm... There are two authorized platforms. One is webnovel.com. And another one is that messy and half-dead Weebly site that she uses for draft and backup... But not recommended."

Sky: "Ah... Haha. Yes, as Chris said."

Chris: "But look out, those scums might change this note to their own website link. So, be cautious.

Sky : "By the way, if the cover page is the old cover page that shows two stickmen, stop reading it, it's cursed and might caused the writer to stop writing."
