chapter 29 Dad, please be careful

Victor pondered for a moment. Indeed, Nanling was under Seth's jurisdiction, and the sword he saw should be Seth's Annihilation Blade. Fernando took two steps forward, staring at Isaac with a gaze as sharp as a sword. "The Gu Family young lady you mentioned is in this room now. She is the person I vow to protect throughout my life. That Miles attempted to insult her, and his death is well deserved." Fernando had to make it clear that he wasn't a bloodthirsty maniac or someone of loose morals. "You lack discernment, acting self-righteously. It's deserving of death!" Fernando thundered. Tears streamed down Isaac's face, filled with remorse. He picked up the broken sword and pressed it against his neck, without a word, forcefully. Swish... Bang! The shattered sword flew through the air and embedded into the wall. Isaac hesitated for a moment, then fell to his knees, saying, "I am ignorant. The only way to atone is through self-destruction." His life was saved by Annihilation Palace, and the person he intended to kill was his benefactor. How could he face the world with such ingratitude? What dignity would he have? "You may leave," Fernando turned away. This man still had a shred of integrity. More importantly, Ella and his daughter needed to stay here for a few more days, and he didn't want Isaac to die here. "Master! I owe my life to Lord Seth. Unable to repay this debt, I, Isaac, pledge to follow Master for the rest of my life, willing to face any danger!" Isaac knelt on the ground, speaking solemnly. "Dad, what's the noise outside? Who are you talking to?" Zoey's voice came, accompanied by the sound of the bathroom door opening. "Leave quickly! Get lost!" Fernando lowered his voice, roaring. Without a moment's hesitation, the two figures leaped down through the shattered French window. Zoey, dressed in a loose nightgown, walked over, drying her wet hair with a towel. "Oops, why is it so messy here?" Zoey looked at the chaos on the floor in surprise and asked. "Uh... Zoey, are you done with your bath?" Fernando smiled awkwardly and said, "Dad accidentally broke the glass just now." Zoey immediately frowned and said disapprovingly, "Dad, why are you so clumsy? You said you broke a vase just now, and now you broke the glass. How much money do we have to compensate? Why can't you be more careful..." "Yes, yes, Zoey is right. Dad will be more careful in the future." ... At the first-floor alley entrance of Jinghai Tower, Isaac knelt on one knee. "Master, please let me follow you. I dream of being like you, punishing evil and promoting good, becoming someone beneficial to Huaxia." Victor raised an eyebrow and glanced over. Having an intermediate level of Supreme Martial Artist strength was considered relatively high within Jinghai. Achieving this level without relying on a family or any organization, solely based on personal efforts, marked someone as a promising martial artist. Breaking through the bottleneck and reaching the advanced level of Supreme Martial Artist without assistance was nearly impossible. xxx "Alright, I got it. If there's a need for your services in the future, I'll contact you," Victor said, turning to leave. Isaac was overjoyed; the implication was that he might have the opportunity to serve Annihilation Palace. "Ma-Master, about that person just now..." Isaac hesitated. He was eager to know Fernando's identity, someone whom even Annihilation Palace protected. What kind of person could evoke such concern? Victor suddenly turned around, his eyes instantly cold. "Don't ask what you shouldn't ask!" With that, he disappeared into the night. Isaac broke out in a cold sweat, feeling the intense killing intent from Victor just now. A person who could make Annihilation Palace pay such attention... Could it be... could it be? The thought struck Isaac, and he instantly collapsed to the ground, trembling uncontrollably. In the early morning, Ella got up early, carefully dressing up her daughter because Zoey was getting ready to enroll in school. Originally, Ella intended to take Zoey there, but her daughter insisted on having Dad take her. Since Fernando returned, Zoey had been unusually attached to him, wanting to be by her dad's side every moment. Ella went to tidy up the new house alone, scolding Zoey along the way, calling her an ungrateful little girl. She had endured the pregnancy for ten months and struggled for six years, but it all paled in comparison to Fernando's return in the past few days. Zoey just stuck out her tongue at her mom, not commenting. First Elementary School of Jinghai was only three stops away from Fernando's new house. It was said to be the best public elementary school in all of Jinghai. With Fernando's strength, he could have sent his daughter to any prestigious school. However, he preferred Zoey to attend an ordinary public school, receiving education alongside regular kids, which he believed was the best choice. It was summer vacation, and the school was deserted. However, there was a long line at the entrance of the administrative office, all parents registering their children. Due to the overwhelming number of residents in the school district compared to the enrollment quota, it was on a first-come, first-served basis until all spots were filled. To secure a spot for their children, many parents camped out overnight. Fernando and Zoey joined the crowd. Approaching noon, it was finally Fernando's turn. A teacher in charge of admissions shouted to the waiting crowd, "This is the last slot; we've reached full capacity. Please go home, everyone." The crowd immediately stirred, expressing various complaints. "Oh, I've been waiting in line for so long." "Why not open a few more classes?" "Yeah, even if you don't open more classes, just add more students to each class." "If you don't enroll them, where should our children go to school?" ... The enrollment officer stood up and responded, "Don't be upset, folks. In our school district, there are too many students, and our school's teaching staff is limited. If we add more students to each class or open more classes, it would be challenging to ensure a normal learning environment for the kids. So, please understand." "Additionally, our school will coordinate with several nearby schools. You can go to Ms. Cao to fill out the forms. She will coordinate and ensure that our children can go to school on time. Parents, please rest assured." As soon as she finished speaking, a middle-aged female teacher shouted, "Everyone, please follow me to the next classroom to register. Don't worry; the kids will have a place to study." With the teacher's words, the crowd hurriedly rushed towards the adjacent classroom. Fernando nodded; the behavior and speech of the teachers in the school satisfied him. It made him even more confident about letting Zoey study in this school. For many parents, education took precedence, and they valued grades more than anything. It seemed that as long as the grades were good, everything else was considered good. It was the other way around; Fernando believed that nurturing individuals should precede teaching. First, instill values, then impart knowledge. Academic performance was secondary; personal character must take precedence. "Dear parent, please fill out the registration form." The enrollment officer handed a registration form to Fernando. Fernando glanced at it and began filling it out conscientiously. At that moment, a woman entered, leading a chubby boy. Accompanying them was a small Chihuahua. "I'm here to enroll," the woman declared, taking a seat on a nearby chair, and crossing her legs casually.
