The Strongest Son-in-law CHAPTER 232
“What the hell?” Russell could feel the power of the crystal flowing up into his arm steadily so that his body could bear it without suffering much pain.[Absorbing the Demon Shadow Frog’s core in progress…]The screen that popped out of his right hand showed the progress.“This…” Myles remembered the old man that had fixed this artificial right hand. “Just what kind of an arm did he attach? I’m sure I held the power crystals with the same hand, but it didn’t absorb those crystals. However, it sucked in a star crystal straight away.”[Absorption complete.][You can now try using the crystal’s powers if you want.]Myles looked at the screen. “Powers? Not just a power?” he could already feel the change in his body. “I see… Does this artificial hand make sure I absorb all of a star crystal’s power without making any go to waste? This is pretty useful.” He tried to stand, and he suddenly cringed in pain, as the abdominal wound was hurting.[Receiving pain signals. Sending healer bots to t

The guard sitting outside the sewage tunnel was yawning. He looked in Ria’s direction. She was sitting under a tree shade, seemingly meditating.“It’s been more than a day, Miss. He’s probably dead, so I think it’s better you leave,” the guard said, but she didn’t respond. (My shift will end soon, so why should I care?)Just then, Ria stood.(Is she leaving?) The guard wondered, and then he heard footsteps coming from inside the tunnel. He quickly stood and grabbed his spear. It could be a human or a monster, so he was ready to fight if needed.Moments later, Myles entered his view. Moreover, he had a yellowish energy glowing around him. “This…” his eyes bulged open. “It can’t be… that’s the dungeon energy enveloping you. Don’t tell me… y-you conquered the dungeon all by yourself?”“I was wondering why it stuck to me, but can you explain what’s happening to me?” Myles asked politely.“Y-You don’t know?” The guard looked bewildered. “When a person conquers a dungeon alone, a part of th

Dungeon Bureau was the public organization that managed the dungeons on behalf of the government.Though the guilds had great power in the city, they still didn’t have as much authority as the Dungeon Bureau whose members wouldn’t necessarily enjoy very many privileges as those of the members of private guilds like the Dawn guild for instance.The Dungeon Bureau managed everything regarding the dungeons from allocating dungeons to different guilds and overseeing the progress, collecting taxes, importing and exporting business and so on and so forth.About an hour after Myles had exited the D-rank dungeon, one recruiter from the bureau arrived at the Dawn guild. After stepping out of his Lamborghini, he looked at the Dawn guild with disgust. “I just happened to be nearby, so I volunteered to come here, but this place really has become quite desolate.” With slicked back hair, he looked sharp and handsome. He lit up a cigar and entered the guild.Sercy saw him and frowned. The dragon emb

Venture City was made of 52 districts, and every district generally had its own trash street where all the garbage would be collected, and the mages from different guilds would take turns to burn the trash.It was the Dawn guild’s turn this time. Actually, another guild had pushed it on the Dawn guild on purpose.Sercy, with her ability, could burn the trash into ashes with her flaming ability. However, because of her pride, she didn’t accept the cleaning job. Still, after Myles had taken the job, she changed her mind.If someone who wasn’t even part of the guild was willing to clean up the trash, what should a senior guild member like her do?Wanting to set an example, she rushed over to Trash Street first. However, to her bewilderment, the street looked very clean. There were no signs of ashes, either.“Who cleaned up the street?” she asked a local guard that was guarding the neighboring street.The guard explained a long story, but at the end, Sercy realized that even the guard did

“Y-You bitch!” Robert, the leader of that little group, barked. “Do you have any idea who we are?”“If even you don’t know who you are, then how will I know?” Ria coldly replied. “But that aside…” she started walking toward them. “For you guys to laugh at such a vulgar comment about a woman’s breasts, I guess you never drank your mother’s milk, ah?”“Shut the fuck up,” Robert lunged at her and threw a punch. “Boulder Breaking Fist!”Ria casually blocked his attack by grabbing his fist, leaving Robert in a bit of a shock. Ria swiftly slapped him in the face so fast he couldn’t even cover his cheek in time. Robert’s cheek turned red pretty fast. “Apologize, and I’ll let you walk away.”Robert ground his teeth. Everybody in the market was looking at him and was whispering this and that. His pride was hurt big-time, but realizing the gap in power, he lowered his head and said, “Sorry.”“I can’t hear you.”“Sorry,” Robert raised his voice.“I can’t quite hear you.”“I’m sorry!” Robert yell

“Y-You don’t want to join the guild?” Sercy’s eyes almost bled even though Myles never shouted or anything. “P-Please tell me you’re kidding. I let you take on three missions from our guild even though you didn’t join the guild. Is this how you are going to repay us?”“T-That’s…” Myles frowned. “You can take the reward money. All of it. I cleared a D-rank dungeon, and I even brought some weapons out with me. You can take all of it.”Sercy’s face was filled with anger. “How do I look to you? You think I’ll take money that belongs to you? How would I be able to sleep if I steal your money? I wouldn’t even get forty winks, I’m sure.”“Then what should we do?” Myles was at a loss for words.“Just join the guild as you said you would,” Sercy softly said and tried to smile. “The Dawn guild is no longer enjoying even a hundredth of its former glory… but it still used to be one of the top three guilds in the country until a few years ago. I’m not telling you this to make you join us out of pi

The dozen men had monkey badges on their chests suggesting that they were all members of the Greed guild. There were letter and number tags hanging from those badges, and these letters indicated their level and number indicated their stage.Robert was also among them. He was an Adept D-ranker. So his badge had the letter D and the number 3 added to it as D3 meant Adept D-ranker.D5 meant Novice D-ranker.D4 meant Apprentice D-ranker.D3 meant Adept D-ranker.D2 meant Expert D-ranker.D1 meant Master D-ranker.D0 meant Veteran D-ranker.D* meant Ace D-ranker.Among the twelve, the highest was an Expert D-ranker.“We only came here for that bitch,” Robert growled in frenzy. “Give her to us, and we’ll spare your guild.”“Spare our guild?” Sercy’s soft expression hardened. “You think 12 chicks that are struggling to go past the D-rank can take on the Dawn guild?”“Heh, your guild doesn’t even have any dungeon missions to do,” Robert blurted. “When was the last time your guildmaster showed

The Dungeon Bureau was a large organization with many divisions. All worked together to keep the city safe and peaceful by systematically controlling the dungeons through venerers.However, most of these workers were arrogant and looked down on the common population and even the low-ranked venerers or guilds.So, Sercy told Myles and Ria in advance to not feel offended or annoyed if they were treated poorly.As Myles followed Sercy on foot, he observed the city and saw that it was much different from other cities he had been to in this world.“Back in Cobra city, it’s pretty difficult for common citizens to come across these crystals,” Myles said, “but in this city, it seems the exact opposite. There are a lot more mages here. And they are even selling weapons outside.”“Yes, but the star crystals and any good weapon is still controlled by the bureau,” Sercy said. “They sell them for abnormal prices, so buying from the bureau is not possible unless you’re either filthy rich or you’re

“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
CHAPTER 326
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
CHAPTER 325
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
