Chapter 197: Abusing Sterfen's Vast Knowledge

"Correct, Halmut is indeed her father," replied Sterfen. 

"The relationship is complicated between those two. Out of respect for my wife, I'll give you the briefest of explanations. When she was made a demigod, Halmut had indeed adopted her and gave her everything she could ever ask for. Yet, in the end, it turned out that he didn't care for her, but only cared about the strength she added to his group of influence. I think you already understand that part."

"Right, that's pretty obvious if he would hold her child hostage and then toss it aside like it was nothing."

"But do you understand why Halmut tossed away the egg instead of helping it hatch?" asked Sterfen.

Thinking about it, Jack shook his head. If it were him, he definitely would've wanted it to hatch.
