?279 Chapter 279

Lucas' words trailed off hearing his father's words.

Vanessa observed her son's actions waiting for his response. For some reason, she felt a bit nervous and squeezed his hands.

"Why did you ask about that? By chance did you..."

Lucas felt a chill seeing his father's lingering gaze.

He twirled his finger pondering a bit. He was anxious now and unable to decide what to say.

After a brief pause, Lucas answered.

"No!" Lucas answered without any hesitation.

His heart was painted with guilt because of lying but he was helpless. If he said yes, he needed to explain about his bloodline which he didn't want them to know now because he would soon take a diamond bloodline potion so if he said that family heirloom increased his rank to gold, he couldn't explain how it became to diamond and then he need to either come up with a lie to cover it or tell the truth and explain his complicated system.

And he didn't know if it was wise to tell them now as he was sure that his father might get a heart attack due to worry.

Leonard sighed a bit but then he was satisfied that his son had grown up. He could read his son's expression of worry and could exactly know what he was thinking.

"That's sad. Telekinesis is a great ability but the only problem is that it only shows its true potential at 6-Star and above. It not only consumes a huge amount of mana but it also needs great control which one needs to train relentlessly." Leonard answered, making Lucas fall into deep thought.

Hesitating a bit, Lucas decided to push it a bit.

"Father, do you know how to train or improve your telekinetic ability?"

"Why?" Leonard asked, squinting his eyes.

"Why don't you just answer what he asks?" Vanessa spoke with a gentle smile, but her eyes gleamed dangerously.

Leonard swallowed his saliva seeing Vanessa's gaze that seemed to say 'just answer what you are asked and stop leading the conversation'.

"Though I don't have it..it wouldn't hurt..you know, if I practice maybe I can awaken my dormant power."

Both Vanessa and Leonard gave Lucas a weird look, making him embarrassed.

"Cough!" Leonard coughed a bit.

"Don't read many fairytales. No dormant power will come to save your sorry ass when your wif...I mean when life kicks you." Leonard bit his tongue and changed his words to avoid a crisis.

"Even if I don't know about telekinesis, my father gave me some valuable tips."

"Listen, boy! Telekinesis is all about the visualisation of the process. However, there is another aspect to that." Leonard said, raising his finger.

"You need to first imagine it as part of your own. Like an invisible pair of hands whom you can control according to your wish and will. And for that, you need to enhance your finger strength. Telekinesis will bore pressure mentally on your mind and physically on your fingers. if you don't have a stronger finger to support the ability, you won't be able to lift heavy things."

Lucas glanced at his finger for a moment.

When he practices too much, sometimes he feels pain in his finger joints as if they are going to snap but he always thought that it must be for some other reason.

'Strong finger....huh...'

"I guess telekinesis must have been a great ability,"

"It surely is," Leonard nodded.

Lucas rubbed his chin pondering for a moment and asked,"Then are there any relatives alive from your side?"

"No."

Leonard directly shook his head with a sorrowful expression.

Lucas nodded and looked at his mother who seemed to be in deep thought. Vanessa noticed Lucas' gaze and felt a little uncomfortable.

"Then, Mother, from your side…?" Lucas asked with a hint of expectation in his eyes.

Vanessa shook her head but then nodded.

"Mom, Are you saying yes or no?" Lucas asked.

"There are still relatives from my side," Vanessa said.

"Why have I never seen them? Have they ever visited us?" Lucas asked, observing his mother's expression.

"No, they are too far away from here. Moreover, they are a little higher in status than us." Vanessa muttered.

Lucas looked at his mom's stiffened expression and felt as if his mother's relations with her relatives may not be good.

"So, mom, are my grandparents still alive?" Lucas asked with a cautious expression.

Vanessa's eyes widened for a moment and she replied hurriedly,"They are alive and might be doing well."

"But why didn't you ever mention them?"

"That...what to say…?" Vanessa stuttered in her speech.

Lucas saw his mom's uneasy expression for the first time and stared at his wrinkled father's face with questioning eyes.

"I got it," Lucas muttered faintly.

"Huh? Got it...What did you get?" Vanessa spoke with a panicked tone.

"You eloped with Dad and my grandparents must not have agreed to the marriage," Lucas spoke while rubbing his chin.

"Cough...Cough…" Leonard coughed violently and looked at Lucas with an embarrassed gaze."Yeah, it was something like that."

"So, shouldn't you make up for it and try to appease them? After all, it has been so long since you have been married and they even have a grandson?" Lucas spoke while changing his gaze from his mother to his father.

"Yeah, we will sincerely consider it, so Brat, don't embarrass us anymore." Leonard said while trying to hide his face.

Lucas just didn't want the situation to become so awkward so he tried to mediate but seeing their expression they knew that something was amiss.

Seeing his mother's nervous expression while fidgeting her fingers, he decided to find their information with Julian's help.

'Maybe I can try to fix their broken relationship.'

Lucas then cleared his throat and moved to the main topic that he had been preparing for.

"By the way Mom, Dad! I have something to say."

"Yes, Lucas!" Vanessa spoke with a loving smile.

"I am going to Ralph."

Vanessa's expression froze for a moment while Leonard's heart skipped a beat.

"Why?" Vanessa's voice cracked.

"Hahahaha! You are going on tour with your friends, right?" Leonard asked with a smile while winking his eyes to send a signal to Lucas who, unable to understand, shook his head and dropped the bomb that was going to change Leonard's life.

"No, I am going there to participate in the tournament."

"Tournament...Why...How?" Vanessa's voice quivered while Leonard's expression became pale as if he got an invitation letter from Yama of Hell.

"It's because I was ranked 3 in the previous tournament, so I have to go to their fight for the Inter Academy Cup," Lucas answered with a dry smile, giving Vanessa a shock.

And it was at that exact moment that Leonard knew, he fucked up.
