System vs Rebirth

With a proud smile on his face, Hagen returned and met his father in his office.

He walked right in front of his father and bowed to him. "Father, your son, Hagen, has returned. I've settled all the problems within the fort."

His father didn't buy any of his lies. He simply glanced at his butler and said, "From now on, he can't bear the name of Lawrence and he shall be expelled and thrown into the slum. I never have a son called Hagen."

Upon hearing it, Hagen's face became pale. He was confused, not expecting to receive this treatment, especially after his good work in their fort.

"Fa—" Before he spoke, the Earl had slammed the table and shouted, "You are not my son!"

"What? What is happening? Why did you do this to me?! I've done everything for the fort and yet, you're throwing me like this?!" Obviously, Hagen didn't think he was in the wrong. He never realized that claiming the Demon Banner Army's deeds was one of the greatest mistakes.

"You've done everything you shouldn't have done! It's better if you were never born!" The Earl gritted his teeth, remembering the day when the commander came to extort him.

If he was still as angry as that day, he would've killed this guy on the spot. But because he had promised the commander, he had to make sure everything was done thoroughly.

He took a deep breath and shouted to his butler, "Drag him out of here according to what I've told you before! I don't ever want to see this guy anymore and make sure he can't use Lawrence's name anymore!"
