A clever child

Shun Gordon was merely 20 years old. Yet he possessed an extraordinary prestige and status that he gained by relying on his intelligence.

He had a rough childhood as he remembered being beaten by his mother, who was a prostitute. He remembered how she would go crazy every time she looked at his face, calling him a monster and all other sorts of names.

Being beaten by her was far too normal.

But in the end, he couldn't even find it in himself to blame her. He had seen how people would berate her. Every time she would return home, she would have a foul mood with a new bruise.

She mentioned to him that she didn't even know who his father was. He was just a mistake.

Sometimes he even wondered why she gave birth to him. Was it his mistake to be born?

But he soon deduced the reason. She was using him to gain the necessary funds to raise a child from the Kingdom.
