"How did you know?" I was greatly surprised.
"I have guessed it. In fact, your mother and I have been waiting for this moment. Although we didn't expect it to be huge, we have been mentally prepared for possible accidents in the future." My father said, "The gift of fate is never free. When you open the history book, you will find that the treasures or abilities regarded as god-given will more or less have a negative influence, so we have been mentally prepared for it.
