The Strongest Son-in-law CHAPTER 219
Just going from one ward to another by foot was already a difficult thing right now, as the guards would shower you with a lot of questions, and so getting a pass would be anything but easy.Naturally, flying was restricted in most wards. Only officers were allowed to roam the sky. However, Ria was able to fly without a problem because of the platinum wolf badge in Myles’ possession.This badge had the power to pacify and humble even the angriest and most arrogant of officers.They were able to reach the western border safely with this badge. Still and all, they wouldn’t be allowed to leave the city by using the badge.It required a special permit in writing for anyone that wanted to leave the city. Myles and Ria didn’t have that.Ria was currently at a market. She could see the floating masses of earth on the western side of the island. There were flying guards posted on every floating mass.“How can we escape their watch?” Ria frowned. “There are thousands of them. Can even a fly es

Myles, Ria, and Penny planned together. After Myles explained everything, he looked at Ria. “This mission’s success mainly depends on whether you can carry me and Penny and fly far enough before any guard notices us.” “I can’t carry you both until the Venture city, but I can carry you for a few miles without a problem,” Ria replied with certainty. “Then let’s do it.” Penny fixed bombs to Ria’s feathers. Ria sent them flying high into the dome-like aerial barrier bordering the island. The explosion was so big, the barrier not only cracked and broke, but flames and smoke filled the sky and choked the guards. Even Ria’s feathers were destroyed. Ria and Myles were shocked by how effective the bombs were, but they had no idea that Penny selectively brought those bombs so she could trouble the guards and then escape. However, Ria used them much more effectively than she ever could. Ria stressed her back and was able to create a new set of feathers, though it cost her a lot of energy. B

“Bad decisions make life freaking hard for you in the future,” Penny said as they were still traveling on the boat. “One of the biggest regrets of my life is not settling with a good man when I was in my twenties or thirties. single life sucks after you cross forty. I’m saying this now because I’ve realized on this journey that you two seem worse than I did in my younger days, though in a very different way. I dated douchebags left and right, but you look like you won’t date anybody even if you were offered riches and fame. And that’s not good for mental or physical health.”Ria and Myles were sitting on opposite ends of the boat, with Penny sitting in the middle.“We’re not far from the venture city now,” Penny added. “It’s a city full of opportunities, so forget about your past. Do the things that are necessary right now for you to live the life that you want in the future. There are a lot of paths that look good in the beginning, like the solo adventures you can have when you’re wr

It was because of the breathing technique Myles was able to fight off hunger. Even after not eating anything for more than eight weeks, he looked like he could live this way for another eight weeks if he wanted.All Myles had taken from Penny was some water every now and then. He didn’t take any food even though she had offered him multiple times every day.Unlike Myles, Ria had eaten better.As their boat reached the shore, a batch of guards dressed in blue and armed with swords, guns, and all kinds of weapons were waiting for them. There were also dogs on leash, standing by their side, with their tongues hanging out.“It’s rare to see someone cross the sea on a boat,” the leader of the guard unit, a long white-haired man with saw-like teeth, said. He was tall and had a sinewy build. Despite his white hair, he looked like someone in his early thirties at best. “I see that you’re no ordinary group. Mind telling us which city you're coming from?”“Not one city,” Penny said, getting dow

Ria rushed straight into the hotel room after Penny paid the bill in advance.“I only paid for one week, but afterward, you’ve gotta pay for yourselves,” Penny told them and walked out of the building.Myles also walked out behind her.“Mm?” she glanced back. “You want something?”“Do you really don’t have any power crystals?”“Hmph, look at you being so shameless,” she snorted in annoyance.“I told you I’ll repay you one day. Even one power crystal would do….” Myles requested politely.“Tsk,” Penny’s heart felt like it was stung a bit. When he looked at Myles, it felt like her son might have looked like Myles had she married and had kids on time. “People outside the wolf city don’t even know the existence of these things. So you better not sell it to anybody, or you’ll get into big trouble.”“I promise I won’t sell it,” Myles assured.Penny then put three power crystals in his hand. “These are all I can give.” All of them were orange crystals that would boost one’s stamina and durabi

“The damned dogs find this old building a perfect place to shed their weight,” the blonde receptionist was still cursing as she came to her seat. “I’ve requested the guild master to paint the building and make it look nice and all, but forget about the painting, I didn’t receive my last month’s salary. If he doesn’t give me the last two months’ salary on the 1st of the next month, then I’m out.”“Don’t speak like that, Sercy,” the old guard with one eye spoke while holding a half-empty liquor bottle. “If you leave, who’s going to take your role?”“Then you pay me the salary,” Sercy retorted, and the old guard shut up. “Thought so. Everyone can say the words because it’s easy, but only those who do the work to fulfill their words really matter. And we’re unbearably short on staff as well as the venerers. That’s why the missions we’re receiving have also fallen abysmally in terms of quality and quantity.”“Most of our guildsmen left and picked better guilds,” the old guard said, sippin
The Strongest Son-in-law CHAPTER 225
The continent where the Venture city was established was called Venturia.In the Cobra city, people with the ability to fight monsters were called mages; however, in Venturia, they were called Venerers.Mages had levels: omega, deltas, betas, alphas, and doyens. Omegas and Doyens were extremely rare, so they weren’t even used by people often.Venerers had ranks: D, C, B, A, and S. These ranks were given because there were generally five different types of dungeons that popped out on this continent.A D-rank dungeon looked like a daffodil flower, giving off a light golden yellow shine. This type of dungeons usually showed up in dark regions.A C-rank dungeon looked like a coral, giving off many mild colors. This type of dungeons generally popped out where there was water or moisture or high humidity levels.A B-rank dungeon looked like a bagel. This type of dungeons showed up in the middle of the night, generally where food was wasted.An A-rank dungeon looked like a half-cut apricot,

If there were opportunistic animals that would trouble you when you are going through your worst time, it would be cockroaches.Mutant cockroaches? Even more so.The sewage where the plant and animal matter was dumped was a perfect hiding spot for these cockroaches.However, because of a dungeon being there for too long without anybody trying to clear it, the dungeon energy mutated the cockroaches and made them stronger. Because it was only a D rank dungeon, a guard was placed outside the sewage system so the threat could be notified and dealt with appropriately when some creatures were to break out of the dungeon.No creatures came out of this D-rank dungeon to this day.Myles was running through the sewage system. In the beginning, there was only smell, but afterward, he had to trudge through layers of decayed matter. The smell was horrible and beyond description.Some of the mutant cockroaches ran and hid in the cracks and crevices after sighting Myles, but some attacked him withou

“It’s been a few minutes since we came out,” Biskie was feeling nervous. “Myles isn’t dead, is he?”“Speak something positive for once,” Casey snorted. “There’s no way Myles would die.”“But that old woman seemed freakishly strong, and we know that Myles isn’t as strong as he used to be,” Biskie said.Sercy ended up hearing their words. “Wait, what do you mean by Myles not being as strong as he used to be? Explain more.”Biskie was startled.Myles had specifically told them to keep their pasts hidden for their own good.“Uh, it was nothing. He used to exercise a lot in the past, but now, he’s become rather lazy,” Biskie replied, laughing embarrassedly.“Do you see cauliflowers in my hair?” Sercy hissed at her. “It’s obvious that you’re lying.” She then shifted her gaze to Ria. “What are you guys hiding from me? Myles was able to cancel an attack that only the likes of halcyon knights can.“Halcyon knights work directly under the Three Kings, and they’re all formidable because they are

Before the tornado grew large and more powerful, Myles also waved his hand as if he was pulling the curtain aside.The tornado dissipated pretty fast.Sercy and others didn’t quite understand how Myles did it, but Glint, Judas, and Wise Servant saw it.“W-What happened?” Biskie was utterly clueless.Ria took a couple of seconds to realize it as he remembered Myles’ words.Vera had four stages of manipulation: flesh, water, wind, and soul.Did Myles just undo the tornado with his vera?Sercy knew this was possible to do with vera, but it was many times harder to cancel an attack than to cast one.So, she didn’t think Myles used Vera.After all, it would take years of consistent focus and dedication to master different levels of vera.Someone who looked as young as Myles couldn’t possibly be possessing such skill, Sercy thought.“I see,” Wise Servant’s expression changed. “You’re not just some random brat. To be able to control vera to such an extent at that age… your talent rivals that
CHAPTER 329
One of the Four Great Heroes, the eccentric old lady known to eat food in restaurants and not pay the bill for not satisfying her tongue was now right before Sercy.Unlike her, Casey and Biskie didn’t know how powerful and popular the Four Great Heroes were.Ria’s instincts, however, told her that this old lady was nasty and powerful. She couldn’t calm herself down.But then, Myles put his hand on her shoulder.She didn’t know what he did, but her heart beat slowed down.“Jelly Shock!” Aero released his electric attack, but Wise Servant dispersed it with her wind ability.“Don’t struggle,” she put invisible pressure on Aero’s body, which made him feel like his eyes might pop out, and his lips would get ripped.Dusty, however, stayed silent as if he had already given up any hope on escaping.Wise Servant closed her fist and then turned to face the fellow humans.“Give me one reason why I should spare some mercy on you guys for chatting with the monster-kind?” she asked. “How can you p
CHAPTER 328
Aero’s attack was deadly enough to easily kill a group of individuals without them even realizing what happened.The table where Myles and others were sitting was utterly destroyed.However, nobody was harmed because Myles had warped them a few meters away at the last moment. The only being he didn’t warp was Dusty.Dusty took the attack head on and was injured just a little. “This is…” he didn’t take more than a second to understand who it was. “Don’t say anything and just run away!” he shouted in ant language.“What nonsense are you talking about!” Aero attacked him with his spear-like limbs. “Her Majesty trusted you and sent you on a mission, but here you are, eating sugary things!”“You idiot! I didn't have any other choice!” Dusty defended himself. “I was forced to work for these humans!”“Shame on you! How can you work for humans?” Aero grew all the more aggressive. “You surely deserve to die!”“Who is that bastard?” Sercy asked angrily because part of the cafe was destroyed by
CHAPTER 327
General Aero of the Battle Ants leaped toward the two old timers and used his jelly-like body to set himself on fire, causing a nasty explosion that covered almost a hundred feet in every direction.It was so hot the ground cracked and the metal melted.Aero used this opportunity to fly away fast. Some automated machine guns recognized this intruder and shot at it, but Aero was able to easily slip past the bullets and flew away into the distance, covering a mile per second.Wise Servant and Sweet Beggar stepped out of the explosion, and Wise Servant sucked in the explosion and contained it in her single hand and squashed it into nothing. The compressed flames no longer existed as a candle light would turn off.“Are you going to go after that thing, or do you want me to go instead?” she asked him.“You’re the wiser one,” Sweet Beggar picked his teeth. “So you should go, since you decided to let that little ant go.”“I thought he might lead us to the one that escaped last time,” she rep

Outside the forever S-rank dungeon where the Battle Ants were present, Wise Servant and Sweet Beggar stopped playing chess and started drinking a strong tea made out of boiling many potent green herbs.And both of them felt energized and relaxed right now as they sat laid back in their chairs.Wise Servant lost in chess once again. She had been trying to win just one game of chess against him for so long. She grew experienced enough to be easily called a grandmaster of chess, but still, she was not able to win against Sweet Beggar just one more time. All she wanted was for him to forgive her and say ‘I love you’ just once more.Both of them had long crossed 100 years of age. So, they weren’t thinking of sex or anything like that. They were purely thinking about each other’s souls.Wise Servant had already beaten him 999,999 times, but she really wanted to win another game; however, Sweet Beggar didn’t make it any easier for her. He remained ruthless all the time so that she couldn’t e

In the dungeon swarming with ants of all kinds numbered in trillions, with more of them joining the ranks as seconds passed by, this dungeon was becoming more and more of a threat to the very existence of not just the Venture city but the very existence of humanity.The queen of all ants, Queen Wiggles, was currently crunching on wafers and looked to be in bliss.“Mm… these are the best things I’ve eaten in a while,” Wiggles looked at the captain ant that brought her a single packet of wafers. “What are these things called?”“Wafter, Your Majesty,” the captain ant kept his head and antennae lowered.“Water… it’s crispy, sweet, and easily melts in your mouth,” Wiggles was drooling. “I think I can eat a mountain of these. Why did you bring only one of these?”“The guy that entered the dungeon had only one of these in his bag,” the captain ant replied.“Oh, I thought you managed to leave the dungeon and then come back inside,” Wiggles said. “But some fool entered the dungeon, huh. Did you
CHAPTER 324
Sercy found an A-rank healer, but he asked for a lot of gold in order to heal Judas and Glint because it wouldn’t be an easy task.“Instead of money, I’ll give you the spoils of an A-rank dungeon we’ll clear,” Sercy told him.“That’s even better,” the healer happily agreed to it.After forming a contract, he came to the Dawn guild to heal Judas and Glint. However, when he approached Judas, Judas attacked him by grabbing his throat and lifting him up.“Who do you think you are…” Judas coldly said. “Did I give you the permission to heal me?”“Judas!” Sercy unleashed a flaming punch and struck his face, sending him flying into the wall right next to him. His head went halfway through the wall. “How drunk are you to attack a guest who came to help you!”Judas pulled his head out of the wall and spat a few pieces of bricks out. “I’m not drunk, Sercy. And I don’t want to get healed because I’m perfectly fine.”“No, you’re not fine. You are mentally disturbed,” Sercy blurted.“Hmph, you thi
CHAPTER 323
In Basil District.Sercy and Ria were heading toward a certain address.“Why did we have to travel so far?” Ria expressed discomfort without hesitation. “Couldn’t you find any healer near our district?”“I could, but I doubt they can fully heal Judas and Master Glint,” Sercy replied. “Judas has been drinking a lot. I’m sure his liver and other organs are not healthy. We need a proper health potion that can improve his health significantly. And Master Glint also needs to drink a health potion because he’s not eating properly.”“His daughter died long ago, so why is he still depressed?” Ria asked.Sercy glanced at her with a bit of a surprised look. “You lack emotional depth. Were you not raised by your parents?”Ria frowned. “Do I have to be raised by my parents to know a father’s love?”“...Not really,” Sercy said. “Some lives can be explained by pen, but some… only by pain. By emotion. If we haven’t experienced the same emotions ourselves, it’ll be hard for us to put ourselves in oth
