“Dad, there is something I’d like to discuss with you.”

 While Mother Lin was busy in the kitchen, Lin Yu nervously approached his father.

 His father was known as a strict man with principles and even going home required his permission.

 However, Father Lin was also a man of few words and slow to anger since he had inherited the traditional teachings of Chinese education. When Lin Yu was little, he had endured countless beatings. Hence, even till this very day, he remained respectful but fearful toward his father.

 1“What’s the matter?”

 The reply Lin Jin gave his son after hearing his statement was blunt and to the point. Although he was quite fun and entertaining when he was out with friends, he was rather emotionless toward his family.

 “Dad, I want to stay at home starting from now.”

 Lin Yu added nervously, “Well… The surrounding area around the college has been quite chaotic recently. The mechanic’s workshop was on fire, and there was also an explosion in the dorm. Besides, there’s also the nearby district so I feel unsafe living there.”

 Lin Yu completely forgot the script he had practiced in his head as he faced his father and the words began pouring out of his mouth.

 “Sure!”

 Upon hearing his son’s request, Lin Jin’s expression relaxed slightly as he nodded his head.

 “Huh…?”

 Lin Yu was stunned and did not know how to react after his father agreed without question.

 “Start waking up early from now and take a cab there. Do the same when you’re coming home. Don’t loiter around.”

 As Lin Jin spoke, he got up and walked toward the kitchen to lend Mother Lin a hand.

 Lin Yu could not snap out of it even to this moment. He had never realized that his father was such an easy person to talk to.

 Seemingly under a trance, Lin Yu waddled back into his room confused.

 It was only until he noticed the black backpack tossed beside his bed did he realize that his carefully thought out plan was ruined by his father’s simple response.

 To convince his father, he had already decided to come clean about his superhuman abilities and the gauntlets; he even wanted to leave a single gauntlet at home.

 3Since they were his parents, there was never a need to hide anything. Although the saying ‘as wicked as a tiger was, it would never feast on its own young’ was inaccurate, he believed his parents could not be included in it.

 1The most baffling thing about webnovels he read back then was the main character’s intentions to keep the money they have made or hiding their superpowers away from their family. Since they already had the money, it could be used to lessen whatever burden their parents had, and the superpowers they possessed could actually help out their parents in times of trouble. However, they kept their secrets hidden in the end, with the most common reasons being their inability to explain its source, the difficulty of explaining it, or the fear of being misunderstood by accusations of robbery or stealing.

 5Without mentioning how perfectly accepting or kind a parent should be, the point was what parent would not believe their own children? The most challenging part would only be explaining it to them. However, it did not even seem worth mentioning even if there was a chance of changing their lives for the better or solving a troubling situation.

 1If the parents of those main characters were afraid then they would just be fake parents to begin with, right?

 If they did not have faith in their own parents or were unwilling to even take the time to explain, it either meant that their parents were not special or were caught in unfortunate circumstances. The only reason would be these people had completely lost their humanity.

 7At least Lin Yu never intended to keep anything hidden from his family as informing them of his superhuman abilities would cause them to take the recent chaos seriously. By leaving behind a single gauntlet, his parents could use it to fend for themselves.

 1As he would still be required to go to college, if anything were to happen during the day, it would be too late for him to regret it. Anything else should be left aside as nothing was more important than his parent’s lives.

 “Dad, could you come over for a moment? I have something to tell you.”

 After snapping out of his confusion, Lin Yu peeked his head out of the room while nervously calling out in the direction of the kitchen.

 “What’s wrong?”

 As usual, Lin Jin remained in his monotonous demeanor as he wiped his hands at a normal pace before approaching Lin Yu.

 “Dad, I’m going to show you something. Promise me you won’t be startled by it.”

 Lin Yu was still slightly nervous as he stumbled to open his black backpack. He was only able to open it after tugging at the zipper several times and took out the Piston Gauntlets.

 “Have you been spending carelessly again? You were told to stop playing with those useless things and focus on studying well.”

 Lin Jin was stunned for a moment after noticing the Piston Exo Gauntlets.

 “No, I made this…Oh my god, just watch and I’ll explain it later.”

 Upon noticing the frown on his father’s face, Lin Yu was slightly afraid but still pushed on as he began to put on both the gauntlets. He took a long time before finally managing to get them on.

 “Dad, look.”

 Gradually, Lin Yu was able to relax as things progressed. Raising both his arms, he presented his gauntlets as if he was showing off valuable treasure and began moving his fingers. He waved his arms around and began dancing to the faint song that played from his phone.

 “You made this?”

 Lin Jin was slightly stunned; he understood very well how awful his son was at studying so judging from the unusual appearance of the mechanical arm, he thought could his little bunny child actually begin to straighten his life out?

 “Heheh, somewhat.”

 Lin Yu chuckled and said, “I’ll explain later as I’m not done with the demonstration yet.”

 While speaking, he clenched his fist tightly. After scanning the room, he had his sights locked onto his own desk.

 There was a saying that whenever a person held onto a weapon, murderous intentions would arise. The thirst for chaos in his fist could no longer be held back

 1Of course, he had also thought about impressing his parents.

 With a heated rush of excitement at the back of Lin Yu’s head, he immediately unleashed his punch after locking onto his target.

 Thud!

 Crash!

 The moment his right fist hammered at the solid wooden desk, a dull thud came first before the fist sprang forward, punching a hole through the wooden desk. His entire fist was now completely through the hole.

 “Oh sh*t… I’ve done it now.”

 After unleashing his ‘fury’, Lin Yu snapped out of his excited state the instant he looked at the desk’s state. He soon realized exactly where he was standing as he began to question if his brain juice had completely drained earlier.

 He believed everyone knew what would happen to him even if he broke a plate by accident at home.

 Now on the other hand… He had intentionally smashed through his desk in front of his father.

 Catastrophe had fallen! He would be dead soon!

 2Lin Yu nervously glanced at his father to see his reaction.

 Fortunately for him, Lin Jin was also shocked by the Piston Gauntlets’ sheer power. Completely stunned, it seemed like he had not recovered from the shock just yet to care about what had happened to the desk.

 “Dad, give it a shot.”

 Strike the steel when it’s hot. Since his father had not realized what had happened, the obvious response was to distract his attention. An idea sparked in Lin Yu’s head as he immediately took off his right gauntlet and offered it to his father.

 3“Very well.”

 1Lin Jin’s reaction was extremely honest.

 No men could escape the charm of weapons and mechanical parts, especially when this was a mix of both.

 There were subtle hints of excitement and interest in Lin Jin’s eyes and with Lin Yu’s help, he was quickly able to put on the mechanical glove and began moving his fingers around.

 However, being an adult meant that he was more rational and had better restraint, so he did not touch anything. After toying with it for a while, he looked at Lin Yu and asked, “Where did you get it?”

 “I made it myself. Dad, you wouldn’t believe me if I told you that I have awakened my superhuman ability.”

 Lin Yu continued with a more serious tone, “You’ve been watching the recent news too, right? I believe these incidents were caused by people like me who had also awakened their superhuman abilities so as of right now, you and mom should be more careful. I’ve planned to leave a gauntlet with you both for protection, so you should get used to it whenever you’re free.”
