“So what if he's my nephew or my own son if he’s utterly useless?” Ivy hastily retorted, with an even louder voice. She had to prove a point there that she would always be the loudest person in the house. “You don’t raise a cow that doesn’t give you any milk. Even dogs protect the house from thieves. But what can this guy do?”

It angered Mollie very much that Ivy compared Ulmer with cows and dogs. “I’m sure he’ll eat less and work more than a pig like you ever can.”

The entire house fell silent. Even Jamie’s eyes widened in a bit of shock.

“W-What did you just say?” Ivy couldn’t process it quickly because Mollie had been living like a dead snake ever since she heard that her eldest son Wilson died. On top of that, Mollie was also under the belief that Ulmer also died because he had come to visit her once, and then even the police couldn’t find his whereabouts. Everyone made her believe that Ulmer died as well.

However, now that Ulmer was back, Mollie found her voice again.

    After talking in a jovial manner with Ulmer, Mollie slowly shifted to asking the important questions.“What exactly happened? Were you there when it happened? Was that the reason you ran away?”She thought he had seen something horrifying like the dead bodies of his parents and sisters buried under the building blocks, covered in dirt. She couldn’t even imagine how heartbreaking that could have been for Ulmer.“You came to see me after that,” Mollie’s eyes were teary as she grabbed Ulmer’s both hands. “Why didn’t you tell me? Did you think I wouldn’t be able to bear it? Or did you think that Jamie and others were gonna quarrel about you staying here in this house?”Ulmer didn’t say anything.“Jamie asked the police what could have caused the accident,” Mollie said. “They are saying that the two cylinders in the house exploded, and then the fridge also exploded due to a short circuit. I still don’t get how a short circuit can destroy the entire house, including the pillars. Does that m

    When Ruth entered the room with two plates filled with food, Ulmer and Mollie were playing snake and ladder together.She suddenly remembered her younger years when she played the same game with her grandmother.“Grandma, I brought the food,” Ruth said.Ulmer looked a little confused. “Why the two plates?”“Obviously, the other one is for you,” Ruth replied, not even calling him a brother. “Honestly, if it was up to my dad, he would starve you and bring some sense into you. He does that to me. I hate cleaning the house, so he not only made me clean the house but also the car. I vomited at the thought of washing dishes, but he made me not only wash the dishes but also clean the toilet. He’s a very strict and smart dad. He always has the excuse that he wants to raise me with principles that would make a proper housewife. You know why? Because I’m average at studies. So, he’s long decided that becoming a housewife is the best thing for me to do. If he thinks that way about me, then how w

    Ulmer didn’t want to eat food made by Ivy. The bread wasn’t made by her, but it was still bought by her, so he didn’t feel like eating it.“Don’t let your hatred dominate you,” Mollie told him. “You might dislike them, but they are still family.”“Will they ever truly consider me part of their family?” Ulmer wondered.Mollie paused for a moment and said, “I’ll be frank since you managed to get a job. It’s always better to work on your own two feet instead of relying on others, even if it’s your own family members. Parents are the only people we could trust in my time, but nowadays, parents can’t be trusted, either. They are not leaving anything for their kids and are also using their kids and trying to keep them under control for as long as possible. The times have changed. It’s not wise to rely on others anymore.” She put the plate aside and put her hand on his shoulder. “Work hard at your job, and pray to God that he gives you a wonderful wife. A good woman will stick with you till

    Jamie and Ivy were in the verandah, eating together in a relaxed manner while roasting their daughter for doing a half-assed job with washing the car.“Ben learned how to do it when he was four. He changed a tire when he was eight or nine,” Ivy was proudly talking about her one and only son whom she doted on a lot. “And look at you. Why are there still lines on the windows? You didn’t wash it with water in the end, did you? You are quite lazy, Ruth.”“Mom, brother can do a lot of things. I admit that,” Ruth quickly retorted. “But he can’t do some of the things that I can do. For instance, if I call my friends, they will come in hordes, but if my brother calls, I doubt even street dogs would come.”Ivy’s eyes reddened a bit, but she couldn’t quite refuse her daughter’s words. “That’s because he’s an introvert. He doesn’t talk much. He minds his own business, so he doesn’t have many friends. But you, on the other hand, steal money from my purse and your dad’s purse and go out with your

    “Please let him use your bathroom.”They were not the words Ivy was expecting, but she reacted before anyone else did. “HUH? What do you mean by that?”The young man and the old man both were a bit surprised by her reaction.“We were passing by,” the young man still tried to explain it as quickly as he could. “My dad’s stomach started hurting. I think the chicken he ate is the case. We didn’t have time to go to our home as it is far. We don’t know this place well enough to look for a public restroom, so we stopped our car as fast as we could. And we ended up at your house. Please, let him use your bathroom. He won’t take along.”“I understand your issue,” Ivy casually replied. “But the bathroom is a personal thing to the house, where only the people of the house go in and come out. It’s not meant for outsiders.”The young man was a bit baffled by her response. He briefly glanced at the old man who was still frowning and clutching his abdomen. So, he had to ask again, but this time, he

    Ivy was absolutely silent until the young man and his dad came out of the house, then thanked Ulmer and also Ivy and Jamie before leaving.The moment they left, Ivy opened her mouth.“You were declared dead, Ulmer. That’s why we sold that land after your house got destroyed,” Ivy quickly stated.“Who declared me dead?” Ulmer calmly asked her. “You?”Ivy frowned. “The police did.”“They won’t label a missing person dead unless they found the body, or do they?” Ulmer said. “Or did someone pay them money to do it?”“Are you saying that I gave them money to have you pronounced dead?” Ivy raised her voice. “If I was really that heartless, you wouldn’t be alive and talking to me right now!”Ulmer frowned in response. “Maybe, I’m still alive because you couldn’t find me?”Ivy gritted her teeth. “You really are despicable for thinking I’m a murderer. Why don’t you also say that I’m the one who planned your family murders? Why don’t you say that I’m also the one that killed your grandfather an

    Ivy couldn’t even explain to Ben what had happened. What was she supposed to tell him? That she refused to let the multi-millionaire and his son into the house and didn’t even let them take a dump in the bathroom when they said they were in an emergency?Ivy wasn’t dumb. She realized that the father and son were probably testing Ben’s family before Ben came home.Jamie also understood that now.But it was too late to do anything as those two people had already left. Ivy didn’t make any good impression until the end, so she felt really bad right now. There was no way they would still be willing to give their woman to Ben after being humiliated.Because Ivy couldn’t explain it, Jamie took it upon himself and explained everything, though he did it in a way that made it look like Ivy was justified in what she did. However, in doing so, he had to use Ulmer as a scapegoat.“She was in a bad mood because of Ulmer’s arrival, and your grandma and your mom also quarreled a bit,” Jamie said. “Ot

    Ben rushed into the bathroom. “What are you doing to my sister, you bast—”Ulmer sprayed the disinfectant in Ben’s face, seemingly out of reflex.“Kyaa!” Ruth screamed again, but in a very different tone this time.Ben, who was about to punch Ulmer, ended up falling toward him. Ulmer moved away, and Ben’s face was about to fall right into the toilet seat.Ruth’s eyes widened some more in that fraction of a second, but then Ulmer grabbed Ben’s shirt and pulled him at once.Ben moved back to the door, and he quickly wiped his face, but his eyes began to burn because of whatever Ulmer had sprayed at him. He quickly went to the sink and began to wash his face.Ivy and Jamie soon arrived there. “What’s going on?” Jamie looked at his daughter. “Why did you shout like that?”“Dad, he sprayed the toilet cleaning liquid on my feet on purpose!” Ruth quickly pointed at Ulmer. “And then brother came, and he sprayed it in my brother's face.”Ivy’s eyes gained a shade of red when she heard that.

    A few months later.Ben and Amelie not only started their business together but also got married, and Ivy as usual caused a lot of noise during the marriage, asking Ross Richard to give her son this and that.Ross had to give in to her demands because of his daughter Amelie.Ivy’s brother took some gold from her and started a restaurant business because Ulmer had commanded him to stop his finance business as he was sucking people’s blood with it.

    “Your wife?!”“That girl who looks younger than Ruth is your wife?” Ivy quickly said. “Are you out of your mind, Ulmer?”“She’s 19,” Ulmer coldly glanced at her. “So, what’s the problem?”“T-That’s…” Ivy found her throat shaking. His gaze felt intimidating. “I-Isn’t there too much age gap between you two?”“What bullshit are you saying, Ivy?” Mollie snorted. “My grandson is not even thirty, and you say there’s an age gap? Can’t you see that they both look nice next to one another? Also, it’s actually nice if there's a five to six year gap between the husband and wife.”Mollie gently held Ayana’s cheeks and lifted up her head.“Where did you hide such a pretty girl all this time from us, Ulmer?” Mollie said. “You will get punished for this later.”“Ulmer always talks greatly about you, Grandmother,” Ayana said. “So, please forgive him this once.”“Hahaha,” Mollie laughed heartily. “Your wife is already defending you so much, Ulmer. She’s not just beautiful but also smart. I think it’s

    The news of so many Thorns dying did not get leaked in the underworld, much less to the common public.However, some of the topdogs in the underworld eventually heard of the heart-shaking news that more than half of the thorns died in the hands of someone called the Urban God.And the title Urban God started to be feared by those who have heard about it.Also, a new bounty appeared on the Urban God, whose name and face were kept hidden by the thorns on purpose.His current bounty was a quadrillion dollars, twice as much as the current world’s known wealth.The amount was so ridiculous and crazy that many bounty hunters thought it was just a fake bounty. A scam. A joke.But then there were those who believed that it could be real and started to investigate the name Urban God. However, most of them would give up on their search the more they learned about the recent history of the Urban God.A few weeks after Crimia was buried from the hidden face of the earth.Minerva had woken up, but

    At around two in the night, the vibrations stopped, and the people finally were able to breathe freely.Many of them went back into their homes and slept. Some still stayed outside, afraid of the quake happening again.Around three in the night, Dark Monarch arrived at the Bronich city, but he was surprised to find out that the entire Crimia had been buried by mud. All the entrances were sealed off by mud.“What the hell just happened here in the time I was gone? Was he responsible for this?”Just then, he looked up into the sky.Miles high in the sky, Abbie was flying away with her mother’s body in her arms, her expression dark and desolate under moonlight.“Isn’t that…”Suddenly, immense pressure was put on his body.“Gravity Cage…” Ulmer appeared next to him.Dark Monarch’s body was crushed from every angle by pressure he had never experienced before. He screamed at the top of his lungs.“You should have never returned,” Ulmer did not spare even an inkling of mercy on him. “Gravity

    “She’s going to live,” the royal healer, Irvi, an old lady with poisonous pimples all over her face, said. She was 120 years old but was still able to stand straight. However, her voice was not steady. She was observing Minerva’s pulse.Minerva was lying on the bed in the medical chambers not far from the royal palace.“However, her system has integrated with her body, so we can’t take it out,” Irvi said. “If we do it right now, she will die.”“Is it not possible to separate the system without killing her?” Ulmer asked.“It is, but that’s only possible when she overcomes the system?” Irvi responded. “The chances of that ever happening are slim.”Ulmer frowned but then said, “Do what you can to heal her.”“I will. That’s my job, after all,” Irvi said. “No matter how wicked a person may be, if they come to my doorstep, I will not turn my back toward them.”Ulmer slightly bowed his head to her and walked out onto the balcony of that building, where Minerva’s dad, Neodus was present.“I t

    The vines suddenly dashed at Ulmer from behind.Ulmer didn’t even move an inch and stood unmoving.The vines rushed past him at a terrific speed and pierced Minerva’s body everywhere. She coughed out a lot of blood.“I didn’t want my blood on your hands,” she tried to smile despite the pain coursing through her body. “I’m… really sorry… for everything.”She was collapsing forward.Ulmer let go of the sword and held her shoulders, stopping her from falling to the ground.Minerva’s eyes began to turn completely dark. The vines that pierced her body began to turn direction and then pierced through Ulmer’s body from behind.Blood rushed to Ulmer’s mouth, but kept his mouth shut. Still, blood slowly leaked from a corner of his mouth.He sent a mental message to her. “It’s okay…”He wrapped his arms around her and hugged her.Minerva’s eyes shed more tears, and the blackness in her eyes began to disperse slowly but surely.In a few moments, Minerva’s eyes closed.He could still feel her spi

Someone with whom he had gone shopping with? Someone who seemed so innocent and lovely when he first met her?Remembering the times when they both went to a jewelry shop, and she studded herself with all kinds of gold and acted like a royal made Ulmer laugh heartily back then.He thought he fell in love with the best girl there was.But look, what has become of her now?She was reduced to someone who would hypnotize a little girl in order to lure Ulmer’s relatives out of the house.Even though Ulmer was just standing, he felt his heart strings playing hard to the point they were hurting because he knew that the time was near.“U-Ulmer…” Minerva could feel his emot

Know your place, vermin!” Ishtar, the war goddess, who looked extremely seductive as well as scary, squinted her eyes, releasing a powerful wave of energy that was supposed to suppress her opponent.Ulmer felt goosebumps all over. “Whooo… that tingles.” He smiled with excitement. (She saw through my system with a glance. I don’t know who she is, but she’s very dangerous. It’s not just her….) His gaze fell on others. (They are all
