The Demon's Menu-Chapter 1749: Conversation by the Campfire
Captulo 1749: Chapter 140: Conversation by the Campfire
Dad?!
Upon hearing the words of the person in front of him, Jason’s temples began to pulse.
He definitely has parents and family!
The person in front is clearly taking advantage of him.
However…
The other party seems quite sincere.
It’s not the kind of insult that involves someone’s mother within a radius and all ancestors of eighteen generations.
That sincerity seemed as if what the other party said was indeed true.
This made Jason suspicious deep down.
However, this did not prevent Jason from clenching his fist.
Bam!
A punch was thrown.
The other party did not dodge and simply took Jason’s punch hard with his chest.
"So aggressive, huh?”
"However, the force of this punch is somewhat interesting.”
"The many layers… it somewhat resembles my brother.”
"But why is your temper so aggressive?”
"This is a little like my other brother.”
The person in front allowed Jason’s fist to remain on his chest, while stroking his chin, raising his hand to press down on Jason’s shoulder.
Thud!
With that sound, Jason was already sitting on the ground.
No resistance.
No warning.
As if he was meant to sit on the ground.
Jason was stunned.
This level of power had already surpassed his understanding.
And the person opposite sat down as well.
"Son, do you know?”
"I’ve imagined this more than once—sitting by the campfire with you, eating roasted meat!”
As he spoke, the man tore off a piece of roast meat roughly the size of a whale from the barbecue grill that stretched out boundlessly, and handed it to Jason.
Facing the food, Jason hesitated a bit.
Then, he took it and stuffed it into his mouth.
The taste was great.
Jason’s eyes lit up.
Seeing Jason’s actions, the man smiled brightly and began to continuously tear off chunks of meat from the nine-headed dragon and hand them to Jason.
Jason ate faster and faster.
Instinctively, he tried to raise his hand to tear off some.
But his hand couldn’t reach the roast meat.
The roast meat was not illusory.
It was real.
But he just couldn’t reach it.
It seemed as if an invisible ‘Barrier’ was blocking, Jason tried twice, and his face showed confusion.
The man tore off a piece of meat the size of a football field again and gave it to Jason, and after Jason took it, he sighed: “Don’t be greedy, son—you can’t reach there yet, forcing yourself will do more harm than good.”
After saying this, the man looked at Jason with eyes full of doting.
Although Jason was munching on the roast meat, his eyes carried a look of refusal.
He didn’t admit the person in front of him was his dad.
And the man?
He laughed.
The doting in his eyes grew stronger.
He took this denial as rebellion.
Whose child doesn’t go through a rebellious phase?
If according to his brother’s words, encountering a rebellious child just needs a good beating.
If that doesn’t work, beat them twice.
But hitting Jason?
He couldn’t bring himself to do it.
This is the son he waited for a whole era to have!
"The inheritance of will far surpasses that of blood!”
"Blood is just appearance, will is reality!”
"So, inheriting my will, you are my son!”
The man spoke earnestly.
"Otherwise, you wouldn’t think your ‘Hunter’ Talent would awaken for no reason, right?”
"Even though the place you come from is special, has a bit of alignment with ‘Hunter’ Talent, but the true awakening is because you inherited my ‘will’, only when the two combined did the current you emerge.”
"So, do you understand, son?”
The man spoke, smiling, waiting for Jason to call him dad.
But Jason opened his mouth wide, stuffed the remaining half of the roast meat into his mouth, and prepared to retort.
But upon seeing Jason finish eating, the man immediately tore off two pieces of roast meat the size of a football field from the grill and handed them to Jason.
In the man’s view, Jason must have suffered a lot.
And as an old father, he felt guilty for not giving the child any help.
So, he could only allow Jason to eat more at this time.
Besides, it’s a child’s growing phase, eating more will let them grow taller and stronger—just like him.
As Jason took the roast meat, the words at the edge of his mouth were filled with roast meat.
Watching Jason devour the roast meat, the man continued speaking.
"However, you who have inherited my ‘will’ are also attracted by ‘that thing’.”
"You coming from your homeland to the ‘Nightless City’ is the handiwork of ‘that thing’.”
"Luckily, you are safe and sound.”
The man breathed a sigh when he said this.
The pain of losing a child?
He could hear all about it.
As for experiencing it?
He didn’t want to.
This is his only son, before and forever.
That will not change.
“‘That thing’?”
Jason’s mouth filled with roast meat, he asked unclearly.
"It’s what you ate as the ‘key’… well, not quite, you can only say a part of it, and another part is the strength I left within.”
The man explained, but this explanation left Jason puzzled.
Seeing Jason’s puzzled look, the man ignored the grease on his hands and scratched his head.
"How to say—it’s a long and complex story.”
"Simply put, the ‘Nightless City’ where you reside is just a Fragment of ‘a certain city’—that city was termed by my brother as a ‘Gigantic City’, a city that keeps expanding as time passes.”
"My brother, your uncle, mistakenly stumbled into this city and once controlled it for a time, but eventually he chose to destroy it.”
