Chapter 322: The Call of Death! (1)

"Failures are bound to raise failures."

"A child growing up in a failed household is already set on a path likely to lead to failure."

"They would adopt habits from their parents, and since their parents are not very successful, those habits are likely not the ones that foster success."

"All in all, it's a paradox of the blind leading the blind."

Aurora nodded, absorbing his thoughts without disagreement before probing further, a spark of curiosity in her gaze. "What about you? Do you consider yourself a success or a... failure?" she asked, her eyes locked intently on his.

Wang Xiao responded with a dismissive shrug. "Doesn't matter."

Aurora, puzzled by his evasiveness, pressed, "Huh?"

Wang Xiao exhaled, his tone tinged with self-deprecation. "I would never want a son like me. That would be my worst nightmare—fighting another me. One of me is enough for this world."

Aurora remained silent, digesting his stark honesty.
