Dad is the one-hundred-sixty-eighth chapter of The Promised Neverland manga.

Synopsis
Peter Ratri manages to corner Emma, Ray, and Norman while he has taken Vincent, Nigel, and the other support members hostage. But Oliver won't let Peter's plans succeed.

Plot
Although the children have managed to lure most of the demon guards into a trap, they still have a long way to go before marking the mission as a success. The rest of the demons have found the location of the ones hijacking the system.

Vincent realizes the success of the mission rests on the hijack team's shoulders. And he will accomplish his part, and until he does that, he will not leave the area.

Emma, Ray, and Norman bust into the drawing room, but it is empty. Norman radios Vincent. But instead, he hears Peter Ratri's voice. Peter tells them that he outwitted them, that the footage they saw of him was fake. But Norman has no time to play games. He asks for Vincent and the others' whereabouts. At the same time, men in black suits surround Emma, Ray, and Norman. Peter informs them that Vincent and the others are tied up with guns to their heads and that the children have lost. The game of tag is over.

Emma is at a loss as Peter tells them the status of citizens saved by the blood, and Sonju and Mujika's. Not only that, but Peter also reveals the four great farms, and the retainers of the five regent houses have joined the create a council to take over the government. Plus, that he will revive Lambda 7214 as well.

One of Peter's men informs them that they have almost restored the system. However, the only thing left is to remove the restriction, a triple password lock. Peter points a gun to Vincent's head to get the password from him. But Vincent refuses and yells out to Norman to take advantage of the opportunity and complete the mission.

Without hesitation, Vincent shoots Norman in the shoulder. However, Norman believes that Peter killed him instead. Peter goes on a rant about how he is the creator, their father. If it were not for the farms, the Ratri Clan, the children would not have been born. He points out how ungrateful and disrespectful the children behave for all the kindness he has provided them.

Just as Peter is set to kill the rest of the hostages, Oliver points a gun at Peter's and exclaims that he is not their father.
