Chapter 245 I Know Who Your Parents Are
“Is there anything else? If not, move all your belongings into Shangri-La. The base’s ability users all live there Everyone need centralized training, and we also have to assess your ability in advance.”
Robin got up, only to see Erin looking as if she’d just gone through a fierce internal struggle.
Out of nowhere, she raised her voice. “I… I have one more thing to say!”
Robin turned to look at her. “Yeah?”
Erin drew in a deep breath and locked eyes with her. “Aunt Robin, you’ve always believed you were an orphan, right?”
Robin went still. “What are you trying to say?”
Erin spoke slowly, one word at a time. “I… I think I might know who your mother is!
“And I know who your father is as well!”
Hearing that, Robin felt her heart skip a beat, then it started pounding hard against her ribs.
But her expression remained completely steady. She asked calmly, “How do you know?”
Erin said, “Aunt Robin, I know Grandpa never mentioned your parents all those years. After a while, you started to believe they had abandoned you. But that was never the truth. Hiding who they were was actually meant to keep you safe!”
“Protect… me?”
Robin stammered, clearly caught off guard.
“Yes!”
Erin nodded and tried to recall everything. “The day before the apocalypse started, I was sorting through the things Grandpa left behind. I found a hidden compartment in one of the drawers in his room by accident. There was a file inside, and your name was writte on it.
“But back then, you had already left the Neels. And I… I was just curious.”
As she said that, Erin looked a little uneasy. “At first, I only wanted to take a quick look, but I ended up uncovering a huge secret!”
“You were never abandoned. Your father was a narcotics officer, and your mother was the top marksman in special forces!
“Back then, your father spent years undercover inside a drug cartel. In the end, he helped bring the entire organization down. But at the very last moment, a mole within the police force exposed him. The mission was a success, but he died in the line of duty. Your mother was seriously injured as well. That was when she found out she was already more than three months pregnant.
“Everyone thought this was the end of it, but no one expected the cartel boss to have an illegitimate son overseas. That son had substantial power of his own, and he swore to avenge his father.

Chapter 245 I Know Who Your Parents Are
“That mole leaked everything about your family. Luckily, he didn’t know your mother was pregnant with you at the time. To keep you safe from retaliation, not long after you were born, your mother entrusted to an old man. That man was my grandpa.”
Robin had never heard anything like this before.
She couldn’t stop herself from clenching her fists. Her lashes trembled slightly as she lowered her gaze hiding the turmoil in her eyes.
“Your mother once saved Grandpa’s life. So when she entrusted you to him, he took you in without hesitation.”
I you
“To protect you and keep that illegitimate son from noticing anything, Grandpa never told you the truth a those years. Even if it meant letting you believe you were an orphan, that was still safer than putting your life at risk.”
Erin looked at her with a complicated expression. “Aunt Robin, there was also a letter for you in that file. Grandpa wrote it himself.
“He said that when your mother handed you over to, she told him this-even though she had to leave you for your safety, she knew she had failed in her role as a mother.
“She hoped that after you turned 20 years old, Grandpa would tell you the truth. By then, she would have removed every hidden threat around you. Whether you chose to accept her as your mother would be completely up to you.”
