If those “unimportant villalus existing would help Maya grow further, then the system felt it was not completely unacceptable.

Maya said, “Wouldn’t that make you a tool person?”

Now that she thought about it…

He really would make a very useful tool person.

A trace of surprise appeared on Maya’s face.

No one had ever told her that once you cleared a difficult crazy boss battle, you got a perfect helper as a reward.

aymond really was a terrible father.

When George had been a child, he had loved climbing high places. One time, after getting stuck in a tree and unable to come down, his great father had slowly opened his broad arms beneath him…

Well, actually they had not been that broad.

His dad looked thin and frail in a white shirt, the classic weak–looking guy who seemed one strong wind away from collapsing.

Raymond wore a serious expression and said calmly, “I’m going to teach you your first lesson in life. You need to trust other people.”
