MIGHT AS WELL BE OP

"You won't understand the life of a genius like NovelFiree Dad, if I don't sleep when will others have the time to catch up"

Anthony said in reply with a smirk on his lips.

"Hoo...you aren't even the patriarch yet and you are already challenging me for my position"

Michael said in reply as his battle intent started seeping out little by little.

Mitchelle's voice cut through the battle intent like a thin paper as she spoke.

"Don't scare our son"

The battle intent disappeared as the smile on Michael's returned to normal.

Then Mitchelle turned to Anthony and said.

"Now I understand why your father calls you baby monster"

Anthony's face instantly turned sour.

He could live with his father calling him a baby monster since that man had no hope.

But his mother was another matter.

He couldn't live with that.

As they ate and discussed like a normal family while laughing, the discussion suddenly reach a point Anthony saw coming.

"So my baby monster, what are you hiding so deep inside, the last time I asked you your mana rank you just showed me the mortal rank"

"But with what I saw these past few days, it sure wasn't the mortal rank, I wonder when my baby monster started lying and what more he is lying about "

Michael said as he looked his son dead in the eyes and locked in as he waited a reply, he waited to know if his son would lie again.

And if Anthony actually lies again, Michael would be disappointed.

Of course there are ways to know someone rank and abilities, but would they work on Anthony.

The best way to know someone's strength is to straight up attack them.

Mitchelle's eyes also turned to Anthony as she waited for a reply.

Although she wasn't there when Anthony revealed his rank, she had heard about it as Michael bragged about 'his' son to her like Anthony wasn't birthed by her. Enjoy reading at m _v _le _mp _yr.

The atmosphere suddenly turned strange and icy as two pairs of eyes locked on Anthony.

Anthony seeing this kept an expressionless face, but his mind ran various thoughts.

He knew he kept a lot of things from his family as he couldn't just wake up one morning and be like

'Hey....I'm a reincarnator, I took over your baby's body, hope you don't mind, and you don't have to worry I'm not some old monster reincarnating'

If something like that happened he would be killed on the spot or imprisoned.

He had to tell his parents something, at least he couldn't lie about this particular situation anymore.

But he couldn't just tell them about everything, he might tell them any other thing, but his reincarnation and the system were out of the question.

This was an unspoken rule amongst the reincarnator clan, speaking on it was taboo.

So he could say talk about anything asides those two.

Besides, it wasn't like even Michael or Mitchelle didn't keep at least one thing from each other, even if they didn't keep anything from the other Anthony won't speak on his reincarnation or the system.

He wasn't ready to bet on their 'love' for him.

All these thoughts took less than half a second due to thought acceleration skill.

It is said that people's aura are based on their nature, so an aura was like how to describe someone without even knowing them.

Although some people can manipulate and fake their aura, this wasn't their true aura and would pale in front of their main aura, so people usually faked it to achieve their motives or whatever they were plotting.

But the strong and experienced could see through such a feeble facade.

As soon as Michael was done speaking, Anthony sighed as he decided to flare his own aura to the utmost for the first time.

An aura unbefitting of a fifteen years old kid instantly appeared.

*BOOM*

Space shook as an Anthony unrolled his aura.

The plates and utensils they used to eat instantly broke apart and shattered.

The table that held the plates were placed on not even lasting longer than the plates instantly followed as everything was reduced to pieces.

The air shook as it vibrated with high intensity and magnitude.

The walls, ceiling and ground caved in and cracked as Anthony's aura touched the floor.

The windows chattered and rattled as they vibrated before they burst apart.

The aura stood tall and could go head to head with a paragon ranker's but the show of a peak master rank was evident in the aura.

The aura showed immense force and control as it seemed to look down and everyone and everything with a detached look.

Carefree

Indifferent

Invincible

Aloof

The light element unintentionally moved as it mixed with mana and created an illusion together with the aura that made Anthony appear like he was sitting on a throne and gazed down on everything from the peak.

Michael and Mitchelle's gaze met Anthony's as they fell into the illusion for a split second before it shattered.

But that split second made them feel like Anthony looked down on everyone and everything, Anthony seemed simply detached and prideful to speak to anyone lower than him and even above him.

But this was just their misunderstanding.

Anthony never looked down or even looked up to anyone.

He simply has no thoughts about anyone's opinion on or about anything.

Anthony just simply didn't care about anything, this made people always jump to the conclusion that he was prideful.

But Anthony didn't bother to correct this, because he didn't care.

Michael and Mitchelle stared at Anthony's aura as they picked his peak Master rank cultivation rank.

'What a monster'

They both thought as their eyes flashed with various lights but same thoughts.

Deep down, they knew that if Anthony was another person's child from one of the five families, they won't hesitate to nip the child in the bud.

Such talent was too much to be left alive.

They now understood why Anthony kept his strength and everything under wraps.

They thanked the stars Anthony wasn't a show off or arrogant.

This amount of talent has never existed or rather....the history records.

'We have to protect him, we can't let him out of our sight, the other families won't let him live if they find out'

Michael thought as he looked at Anthony, but a smile appeared on his face at same time as two sides of him battled for dominance.

The battle crazy side wanted to leak Anthony's true mana rank and cause war and use then it as an excuse to wipe out everyone.

The other side wanted to hide this fact and protect Anthony in order not to put him in danger due to the other sides recklessness.

'Anyone that sets their eyes on my son better be ready for hell'

Mitchelle thought.

One thing was certain, anyone who touched Anthony better be prepared.
