Gallon, who was approaching adulthood, wasn't stupid. He knew perfectly well that the esteemed Duke before him was helping him rebuild his confidence.
No one had ever spoken to him like this, not even when he was very young. Even back then, before his mother started berating and beating him, she would always tell him that he had to become a Gene Fusion Expert in the future so he wouldn't embarrass her.
Even the people closest to him had always made demands of him.
"Thank you," Gallon said. He thought he was smiling, but tears were streaming down his face uncontrollably.
Lu Xia watched him weep uncontrollably. Though a little surprised, she found it understandable.
She had a staff member bring tissues over and handed them to Gallon. "Cry now, so you won't have to cry later."
Gallon nodded through his tears, trying to thank Lu Xia at the same time. He was quite a mess for a moment.
