Fortune Telling

"Wooh! Uncle is the best!!"

Reves cheered loudly, his voice cutting through the crowd as he watched Ivaim knock his opponent flat on the arena floor.

Nathan stood beside him, silent and unmoving, his sharp eyes fixed on the arena.

"Hm." Nathan's low hum was barely audible, but Reves heard it.

He flinched, suddenly realizing his enthusiasm might not have been the wisest move.

"Uh—I mean, second best!"

Reves stammered quickly, forcing a stiff smile.

"You're obviously number one, Father!"

Nathan didn't respond, offering only a brief, indifferent glance before shifting his attention back to the arena.

The dust was still settling around Ivaim as he stood tall in the center, grinning like he had won a world championship rather than a simple first round.

Nathan's thoughts churned as he watched.

'That abnormal luck again... The rumors really weren't wrong.'
