Chapter 1393

The little boy, Ryan, stared blankly at Homelander, never expecting his father to descend from the sky.

And this father was the very superhero he worshipped—Homelander!

Ryan was at a loss.

His reaction was somewhat similar to Homelander's own when his father had descended from the sky, though Homelander, knowing his own identity, had reacted more intensely.

"Oh, almost forgot." Homelander realized, and putting an arm around Ryan's shoulder, he turned to face Su Quan: "This is your grandfather."

Ryan:...

Ryan's mother, Becca:...

To Ryan, since a father had descended from the sky, it was perfectly normal for a grandfather to descend as well.

It was just that this grandfather looked a bit too young, didn't he? He looked younger than his father...

Yes, Ryan had already accepted the fact that Homelander was his father.

There were two reasons why he accepted it so quickly.

One: He craved fatherly love and longed to have a father.

Two: Homelander was a superhero; he wouldn't lie about something like this.

Uh, this was the same as Homelander believing that Su Quan was powerful and wouldn't lie about matters of ethics.

So, it is often said that the most fatal things are preconceptions and self-imagined narratives!

For example, a wealthy person you know tells you they were in too much of a rush to leave the house today, didn't bring their wallet or phone, and asks to borrow ten thousand from you, promising to pay you back tenfold when they get home.

Would you lend it?

Many people probably would.

Because you've dealt with them before and know they are very rich; ten thousand is just pocket change to them, nothing at all.

But you don't know that their wealthy image is all a facade; in reality, they are drowning in debt, and many people are looking for them to collect.

Their wallet is already empty, and their phone might have been sold too.

They actually came to find you on purpose to scam your money, and then use your money to run away!

Back to the topic.

Becca was completely unable to accept that this man—with a different skin tone, a different race, someone she had never heard of, and who was excessively young—was actually Homelander's father and her son's grandfather!

Su Quan took in the reactions of the mother and son, Becca and Ryan, but what interested him instead was that glance Homelander had cast at Becca earlier...

There was triumph, there was playfulness, but absolutely no sense of unfamiliarity!

The sense of unfamiliarity here refers to that kind of unfamiliarity one only feels when suddenly remembering something after being reminded or checking records!

"Good kid, you actually managed to act it out!"

When Su Quan had previously asked Homelander if he knew a woman named Becca, Homelander had hesitated for a few seconds, frowned, and shook his head, saying he didn't know her.

At the time, Su Quan had thought this scumbag Homelander was quite trashy, but judging by the reaction in that glance just now, he clearly remembered Becca.

In other words, he had held something back at the time, deliberately acting in front of him.

It was only later, after being suddenly crippled and then confirming the truth of the matter from Professor Jonah Vogelbaum, that he had completely believed that he was his father!

Tsk tsk tsk.

Su Quan looked at Homelander with newfound respect; although he often acted like a childish giant baby, anyone who underestimated him because of that would definitely pay a painful price!

"Hi, I, I am Becca, Ryan's mother." Becca hesitated, took a few steps forward, and asked Su Quan: "This might be inappropriate to ask, but... are you really his father?"

"Of course!"

Su Quan nodded affirmatively and looked at Homelander with some emotion: "Due to certain reasons, we were only able to recognize each other not long ago."

"So..."

"Although he has accepted me, it was too sudden after all; he... he is even unwilling to call me Dad!"
