Incomplete Soul

As all the piles were separated, Alex looked dazedly at the red energy. 

Even after all the separation, this only counted as a few. He felt this wasn't even part of the main soul.

"MingYue, what do you think I should tell my mom and sister outside?" Alex asked as he didn't know what to say.

With the loss of his emotions, his ability to empathize was also reduced. 

He could think about their reactions, but choosing the right words to not hurt them was something he needed to really consider.

It wasn't just about their emotion; he needed to make sure they didn't do anything reckless.

"Is that your father's remaining soul?" MingYue asked while pointing at it.

"Yes and no, it's more like part of him he discarded. He is still out there, living out from his body as a soul. 

I suspected he hid some clue in the ring, but if this is true, I don't understand why he hid it, except he have more enemies.
