Demon King – Chapter 610 – Argument

“That was murder, murder, do you understand? This isn’t something you can just talk about and give a warning for. Do you know what he did!”

“That was his own sister! His own sister who would split a biscuit with him without thinking twice! How could he bring himself to do it? Do you think I wanted to believe what I saw with my own eyes!”

Roaring hysterically, Ei Yuan had never lost control like this before. Beside him, Liu Wan could only cry silently, unable to get a word in.

“He’s my son! This isn’t something that can be brushed off as just making a mistake anymore. This is a crime! Against anyone it would be bad enough, let alone his own sister!”

“Calm down! Look at yourself, what state are you in!”

With a furious shout, Eiru’s uncle, who had rushed over after hearing the news, barged into the room and immediately tore into his younger brother.

“Brother, do you know what Eiru did? He stabbed his sister with a knife, straight into her chest! You didn’t see that scene. How do you expect me to calm down!”

“Yeah, I didn’t see it myself. But Little Lu was raised by me. I won’t say I understand that child completely, but he is absolutely not someone who would do something like that!”

He had rushed all the way from their hometown to Huanghai City. Before Eiru turned seven and came to Huanghai City for elementary school, he had been looked after back home by his uncle and grandfather.

Although Eiru often misbehaved and didn’t listen, they all knew he was a kind and considerate child. Rather than being bad, it was more that he didn’t care about trivial matters. When it came to right and wrong, he had never once gone astray.

Because their attitude toward him had always been strict, Eiru was still quite afraid of him grandfather and uncle even now. But to them, a child they had watched grow up from a young age, even if they didn’t see him often later due to distance, how could there not be deep feelings involved?

“Think about it carefully. Is your son really that kind of person? I don’t know how he’s been since coming to your side, but think carefully. Has he ever brought trouble to your family!”

“Brother, how can you still say things like that. We don’t want to believe it either, but we saw it with our own eyes!”

Their son’s hands, stained red with blood, gripping a blood-soaked dagger. Their daughter’s chest torn open with a horrifying wound, lying on the bed with her life uncertain. Just recalling that scene made Ei Yuan and Liu Wan tremble uncontrollably.

There had been no sounds of struggle or resistance outside the room. Even if someone else had done it, Eiru would have effectively allowed it to happen. And there were no signs at all that anyone else had entered the room. During that time, aside from Eiya, they were certain only Eiru had been inside.

“Fine. Then where’s the dagger? Did you call the police? Since you believe this so firmly, why didn’t you arrest your son!”

Eiru’s uncle shouted angrily. He truly couldn’t bear to see his own younger brother in such a disgraceful state.

“You’re the head of the family. Anyone in your family can collapse, but you can’t! Look at yourself right now. What about everyone else in your family? Calm down. Even a farmer like me can see this clearly. Where did all the books you read go!”

Under his older brother’s furious scolding, Ei Yuan finally managed to regain a bit of composure. But his mind was still in chaos. Any family faced with something like this would surely feel completely at a loss.

“Exactly. I know you all say Eiru has become some kind of delinquent now, I’ve heard plenty of it. Fine, say he learned bad habits. But that child was just being immature and trying to look cool. After he came over to your side, did you ever correct him properly?”

His sister-in-law, who had come along with his uncle, also couldn’t help voicing her thoughts. As someone who had looked after Eiru for quite a while in the past, she agreed with her husband. In her view, even if Eiru had made a mistake, it was simply due to immaturity, not out of malice.

That child’s starting point had always been kindness and consideration. Even if you two as parents don’t fully understand him, couldn’t you at least give your child some trust?

“Alright, let’s take ten thousand steps back. Say it really was Little Lu who stabbed her. But can’t you think about the reason? What motive did he have? What purpose!”

What motive could there be? Jealousy toward his sister? Or resentment toward the family? Hearing this, a wave of bitterness spread through Ei Yuan’s heart. How could he not know how much grievance his son had endured? Wasn’t it because he had recently been less busy that he wanted to make it up to him?

“Too late. It’s still too late… I shouldn’t have let you handle my son back then. I should have listened to him more myself. I thought you would listen.”

Covering his face, Ei Yuan’s heart felt as if it were being sliced by knives. He didn’t cry out like Liu Wan, screaming about how his child had become like this. He knew in his heart that all of this was the fault of them as parents.

A child not taught is the father’s fault. The only thing Ei Yuan hadn’t expected was that Eiru had hidden his resentment so deeply, so deeply that they hadn’t noticed a single sign of it in daily life. Was he really such a calculating child?

But Eiru’s uncle didn’t think so. He still believed Eiru was a kind and considerate child. Even if he had really done something like this, it definitely wasn’t driven by malicious intent.

A child who was so afraid of causing trouble for the family that even after smashing his head and bleeding, he would wear a hat to hide it and not tell them. You’re telling him he would personally harm isr own sister? That was simply impossible.

So he told Ei Yuan a story.

A child walking down the road finds a small animal by the roadside, gravely injured and suffering. After confirming that it couldn’t be saved, the child lifts a stone and gives it release, so it doesn’t have to endure further pain.

But passersby see this scene and point fingers, accusing the child of being cold and heartless. After the story spreads, a child who was kinder than anyone else is branded as a cruel and dangerous person, all because an act born of kindness was interpreted one-sidedly.

What he wanted to tell Ei Yuan was this. Think more about what kind of child Eiru really is. Don’t interpret his actions one-sidedly. Consider things in a complete way. One-sided understanding only leads to misunderstanding, and misunderstandings often bring about consequences that cannot be undone.

While the family was here discussing and reflecting on Eiru’s situation, talking about how to handle it, a doctor suddenly informed them that Eiya’s examination results were out. Everyone temporarily put this matter aside and hurried over to check on the other child.

But what none of them expected was that from that day on, Eiru vanished from everyone’s sight.

No one knew where he went. It was as if he had completely evaporated from the world.
