"Congratulations," Aaron said with an unhurried smile. "So, do you want to ask whether your future child will be a boy or a girl?"
"No. I'll love them whether it's a boy or a girl," Kingpin said half-jokingly. He then sat up straight with a solemn expression. "What I want to know is what my relationship with this child will be like in the future."
"What do you mean?" Aaron asked, somewhat puzzled.

"I won't let that happen," Kingpin blurted out.
"If you truly had confidence, you wouldn't have come to me for divination."
"I..." Kingpin lowered his head in silence for a while
