Christopher stood, his gaze sweeping over the faces in the room. "Alright, everyone, we just need to get ready for whatever's ahead of us. When the last two beast kings join us, we will proceed with the planning."
The six in the room nodded in agreement.
At that exact moment, the door burst open. "Hey Son!!" Amara exclaimed, freezing as she took in the faces staring back at her. The present in her hands slipped, clattering to the floor. "This?" she muttered, her eyes wide. Christopher and the group were speechless.
"Where is my son?!" a voice boomed from the doorway. Ethan walked in, only to halt beside his wife, equally stunned. "What's going on here?" he asked, recognizing everyone present.
Amara fixed a deep frown on her son, saying nothing.
Christopher exhaled, sinking back into his chair. "Mum… Dad… I think you should sit down." He knew it was finally time to tell them the truth. Anything he said now would only make the situation worse.
