Chapter 824 Excuse
Rain experienced a growing sense of unease as he noticed the shift in the dynamics surrounding his return. The people he held closest seemed noticeably on edge, their demeanor reflecting a stark contrast from the warmth and camaraderie he had once known.
A century of relentless conflict and strife had evidently wrought profound changes in their characters, and while Rain understood the toll such circumstances could take, he couldn't help but feel a great deal of disappointment.
The depth of change in those he cherished left Rain disheartened, expecting a different reception and finding instead a more guarded and tense environment. The unsettling realization that the once-familiar landscape had transformed into an atmosphere he termed dark edge cast a shadow over his hopes for reconnection and reunion.
The future he returned to appeared drastically different from the world he had imagined, leaving Rain with a sense of concern and apprehension about the days ahead.
In the end, Seara snorted and then turned around and left the area with Impulse. Her skill reached a level where she could cross five hundred meters instantly... she improved that a lot.@@@@
"I am going to talk with you later. I have a broken family to repair here," Rain said.
"You have a long road ahead of you since your family is a massive pain in the neck," Isa said.
"Well, this is all my fault, so I can't complain about it," Rain said and then sighed.
Rain tried to chase Seara, but she kept her distance. They could move as fast as each other, so Rain felt proud of her progress, but they couldn't waste time with that kind of antics. He stopped moving for a moment and wondered if he should go look for Sealyn first... but it would be bad if she didn't recognize him. Still, she was supposed to be with Seadrei.
"I don't know if I will be able to hold back punching him..." Rain thought. "Since my disappearance... he became her fatherly figure, after all."
The notion that his youngest daughter, Sealyn, whom she didn't even remember his face of, wouldn't believe in his return seemed not only logical but inevitable.
The stark reality of the situation dug deep, reminding Rain of the vast hole of absence that had existed between them. The knowledge that he had missed crucial moments of her life and had become a mere fading memory, almost a phantom, for her was a crushing blow to his hopes of a warm and welcoming reunion.
"You can kill me now, deliver the finishing blow," Rain said. "Tell that she has a boyfriend or something."
"... She has," Seadir said.
After learning the painful truth, Rain found himself in a state of emotional turmoil. The weight of the revelation hit him like a ton of bricks, stirring up a whirlwind of thoughts and emotions.
Driven by a sense of desolation and a need for solitude, Rain unconsciously gravitated towards the coast. His steps felt mechanical, almost detached from his conscious will. He sought refuge in a a cliff that overlooked the vast expanse of the ocean.
As he stood there, staring into the horizon, a haunting image crossed his mind – the recollection of the god of war leaping off a similar precipice in a moment of despair.
Hours passed in the solitude of that cliff, where Rain dealt with the depth of his emotions. His mind oscillated between memories of past confrontations and the realization of his daughter's current status as the Sea Empress. It dawned on him that she was no longer a child, but a grown adult with her own life and responsibilities.
The idea of her potential romantic involvements was a natural part of her life, an aspect that he needed to come to terms with.

"It is fine, I won't have the chance to bully her boyfriend, but I can break his ribs now and then using sparring as excuse," Rain got up and then said.
