Chapter 1022

"Al, why are you still up?" Ray Laurence asked as he walked into the living room to find his son studying something on his tablet. 

Aldrich Laurence had never been the studious type, things surprisingly came naturally to him.

"I'm trying to learn more about the underworld dad." Al admitted as his father sat down next to him trying to look over his shoulder.

Unfortunately for Ray, he couldn't see the articles clearly since Al had the screen at it's lowest setting. 

"What have you learned so far?" Ray asked his son as he tried a different approach.

As Aldrich Lawrence grew up, Ray was starting to lose hope that his son was interested in taking over the family business. 

Al did as his parents asked.

He attended his classes, trained with some of Ray's best fighters, but he never showed enough interest to hint that he was willing to do more than he was asked.
