LittleNovelChapter 978: "I just don't think such parents deserve to exist in this world." She thought back to her own childhood, where she had grown up without the support of parents.

They won't pay you back.” The old woman, thinking that Allison was a debt collector, waved her hand dismissively and dumped the wastewater on the ground before turning to go back inside.
It seemed like she was done with the conversation.
Kellan gave a slight frown. "Allison, maybe we should split up and search for them."

Just as she finished speaking, a man's voice called out from nearby. "Are you with Shadow Nine? Working for Victor? What are you doing at my door?"
