Vera entered the hall gracefully, but the atmosphere in the room was already tense.
She glanced left and right, seeing all the elders in the family. Sitting on the opposite side of the room was a bald, muscular man whose suit barely covered his muscles. There were scars all over his face and body, evidence of the thousands of battles he had gone through.
Just from meeting his gaze alone, Vera felt like she was being crushed by a massive boulder.
Vera carefully greeted her father. "I've returned, Father."
The man continued to stare at Vera, making her uncomfortable.
However, she had advanced to rank 3. In addition, Eric had shown her the life of not giving up.
That was why Vera raised her head and looked back at her father firmly.
Her father flinched as though he didn't expect such a gaze from Vera.
Although he showed no happiness in his expression, his voice slightly softened. "Good work. It looks like you have evolved."
