This time, his tone was significantly sharper than before. It sounded as if he was lecturing his own son.

In truth, life isn't determined by fate. If it were, I would have died in the mental hospital when I was a teenager back

then. Also, if Dad had resigned himself to his fate, he wouldn't have met Mom, and I wouldn't even have been born.

Even though struggling against one's supposed fate is a difficult and dangerous process, one will realize how

glorious it is when one looks back at it in the future. Isn't that the case?

Clenching his fists tightly in front of Sebastian, Kurt finally raised his gaze to reveal his reddened eyes.

“Actually, I-I haven't given up. I want to study and make something of myself. By achieving success, I want to prove

to them how wrong their decision back then was!” he declared in a choking tone.

Even though it had been five years since he was brought back, this was the first time Kurt revealed his true

emotions to Sebastian.

Naturally, Sebastian was very satisfied with the response.

Reaching out his hand, he removed the hood that Kurt always liked to hide himself in, revealing a headful of soft

black hair and a dashing face.

“Right. That should be the way. Therefore, for the next four years, you should work hard in school. I will support you

in whatever you choose to study. Once you have graduated, I'll send you back to your tribe if that's what you want.”

“Mr. Hayes...” Kurt exclaimed at Sebastian's last sentence. Finally, tears rolled down his cheeks when he couldn't

hold back his emotions any longer.

Sebastian rubbed his head gently before going out to see Sasha and Vivian.

Ten minutes later, Karl received a message.

Sebastian: With regards to Kurt, give him a free hand to choose whichever course he wants in school. Also, pay on

his behalf if necessary.

Karl: Didn't he already choose to major in architecture? Does he want to choose something else?

Sebastian: If he intends to return to Elysium, it would definitely not be enough. So, get the school to allow him to

pick up a few more electives. Also, make sure it doesn't affect his training.

Karl: Will do.

After pondering briefly, something occurred to Karl that caused him to fire off another message.

Karl: Mr. Hayes, did you tell him about the matter related to both his brothers?

Sebastian: Why would I do that? There's enough hatred inside him already. Also, with regards to his mom, didn't you

say that she's still being held captive in Elysium?

Karl: Yes, I did sneak in to see her once. Unfortunately, I don't think she'll survive. Elysium has always shown no

mercy to women who tried to escape. Back then, Channing and Calvin's mother had worm eggs forced into her

stomach. In the end, she died from having the worms consume her organs.

When Sebastian saw the message, he almost smashed his phone in rage.

They're the most disgusting tribe in the world! How can such people still exist in this modern age?

Up till the present, Elysium still lived together as a communal tribe. Living close to the border, they were a largely

agrarian society. Due to their long history and rich culture, they were one of the few tribes within the country that

were allowed to maintain a hereditary political structure. During the peak of their influence, cities on both sides of

the border had to treat them with deference.

However, it wasn't until Karl had rescued Kurt five years ago that Sebastian learned the truth about the people in

Elysium.

At that time, his intention was to get SteelFort to investigate the family origins of the Woods brothers.

After all, he felt guilty over their deaths.

Channing was killed by Yancy when he tried to exact revenge for Frederick.

As for Calvin, Sebastian could never forget the anguish he felt when the former died in his arms.

Consequently, he wanted to locate their family and make amends for their deaths.

After searching for many years, SteelFort finally found Elysium. It wasn't until Karl had met the brothers' mother

that he finally discovered the terrible secret.

When Frederick picked up Channing and his brother, both of them weren't orphans at all.

Just like Kurt, they were the children of Elysium's leader. Later on, for some strange reason, the high priest of the

tribe accused the brothers of being jinxes and wanted to execute them.

When their mother heard about it, she was terrified. Hence, she had one of her attendants smuggle the children

away.

Later on, Frederick found the brothers on the run and took them in. As for their mother, she was killed by Elysium's

leader for what she had done.

Unfortunately, Kurt's backstory was the same as the Woods brothers.

When Karl had reached the tribe, he found Kurt beaten to his last breath. Coincidentally, Kurt's mother was

Channing's younger sister.

Due to the hereditary political system in Elysium, their leader was naturally polygamous.
