บท 73: The cheat character is born!

Garrick's mouth floundered, his words catching in his throat as he attempted to beg for mercy. The weight of his father's words was like a boulder pressing on him, crushing him under its weight. He had thought that he could rely on his father's connection to stay on the capital planet, but the cruel reality was that his father was not going to grant him that luxury.

His father's cold eyes bored into him, and Garrick felt like he was drowning in their icy depths. 

"B-but-"

The plea that Garrick tried to utter was cut short.

"Don't even bother. Your feeble excuses get you nowhere," Elder Darian interjected, his voice booming with finality.

Garrick felt like he was being sentenced to a lifetime of misery as he heard what was said. He knew how stern his father was. If he didn't follow his command, he would be humiliated in public. 

Thus, he left the frozen lake behind, his heart sinking deeper into an ocean of despair with each step he took.
