Mr. Aurellan had never truly understood his daughter. Even as his body gradually weakened, until this very moment facing Athena, he seemed to finally catch a glimpse of a future where the Aurellan family would rise to the peak—only for Athena's ambition and arrogance to eventually turn into dust, along with her very own ambition and arrogance.
Athena dismissed her father's words as nonsense:
"Then I will become that absolute monster, Father. The people in Zone 1 are only luckier than I because they were born there. One day, I'll prove it to you—whether in Heaven or Hell, jatch me."
The moment Athena finished speaking, Mr. Aurellan's body convulsed violently. He died in pain, his eyes wide open, staring at Athena until the very end.
Yet at that moment, Athena only found her father's words laughable.
