Chapter 553

Back in Rithol City, Alvin’s name was basically a golden ticket and everyone who saw him would respectfully address him as “Mr. Turner.”

“Hello, Grandpa. I’m a college student. I met Mr. Nelson while conducting field research for my project. He mentioned a few things about Mistmere, and I thought this place would be a great fit for my study, so I came along with him.”

“Oh. I sec.” Pontus responded, though he didn’t really understand what that meant.

Jacob explained, “This young man is a top student. After talking with him, I realized… Dad, I’ve been wrong all these years. I didn’t consider your feelings, and I hardly ever came back to visit you.”

“And may I ask your last name, young man?” Now that he knew his son had come back because of Alvin, Pontus looked at him with much more kindness.
