How had Father learned of this incident? In fact, I didn't even need to ask myself this question. The circumstances made the answer abundantly clear: the only person who had witnessed what had happened earlier was Namgung Jin himself. Therefore, it was obvious he must have informed my father.
Yet, a part of me still couldn’t grasp it. Why would Namgung Jin, of all people, go out of his way to report something like this? To tell my father, the person he might dislike the most—perhaps even view as his rival—seemed incomprehensible to me.
At first, I considered sending him a telepathic message to explain myself and clear things up, but as I attempted it, I soon realized a troubling fact.
Nothing happened.
"Damn it," I muttered internally, realizing that my internal energy channels were so thoroughly blocked that even a basic telepathic transmission had become impossible. This situation was growing worse by the second.
I cleared my throat awkwardly, unable to respond verbally or otherwise. Seeing no reaction from me, Father gave me a puzzled look. Jin Yeonryeong, however, interjected, breaking the silence.
"He fainted earlier, so of course he's not well. He might look fine outwardly, but he's probably still hurting inside."
