The Strongest Son-in-law CHAPTER 249
Myles couldn’t have been any clearer with his words, but Eric still said, “I can’t give you this city, but by being in the bureau, you can enter the dungeons to inspect them or for other reasons. You will mostly be working inside and around the dungeons, and so you will be able to level up a lot faster than if you were to, let’s say, work in a poor guild.”“Mm, your offer is definitely tempting,” Myles said, making Sercy’s heart skip, “but the thing is I don’t like working in big organizations as they tend to be very corrupt. I try to stay away from corruption, so I can’t join the bureau.”If it was just a random person who said such words, then Eric would have attacked that person straight away, but since he was talking with an Ace D-ranker, he employed his patience to the highest level. “Mr. Myles… The bureau will provide you a house, give you a weekly salary, and you’ll get a lot of fame as well. All these things are certain rewards.”“Oh, c’mon,” Sercy intervened. “You’re been spo
The Strongest Son-in-law CHAPTER 250
The whistles were both removed from Ria and Myles’ hands after their services in clearing two dungeons. The guildmaster of the Dawn guild came down to the ground floor to personally put the badges sent by the bureau. Rorin, the guildmaster, was an old dwarf with his beard almost touching the floor. He looked so drunk, his body was rocking back and forth as he put the badges on the newcomers and then went back to his room on the top floor. Myles received a D* badge, whereas Ria received a B1 badge. Ria felt happy to receive the badge because she had never received something like this before, which now made her want to treasure the badge. Also, she removed the badge from her chest and used a hairpin to stick the badge to the back of her head. With her hair made into a pool, she looked different and strangely attractive. “Why is the guildmaster like that?” Myles asked Sercy. “He’s been like that ever since his granddaughter died,” Sercy said in a low voice. “She and Judas’ grandson
The Strongest Son-in-law CHAPTER 251
By the time Ria came downstairs in the morning, both Sercy and Myles were gone. She asked Judas where they went, but he asked her to bring two bottles of rum if she wanted him to answer.However, she showed him two middle fingers before walking out on her own.Judas could only shake his head and again lie down on his bench.Ria walked down the street with her guild badge and venerer’s badge on her chest. And she was expecting people to see her, and they did.When they saw her rank, most of the people greeted her with a smile. That said, some looked fearful of her. Regardless, she felt happy like a child would.A shopkeeper approached her, saying, “Please come to my shop, ma’am. I will serve you well-cooked sterile crocozilla meat.” He showed her the menu. Crocozillas were found in D-rank dungeons. They were long-legged crocodiles that could jump high and live on trees, suddenly crashing down on top of passerby, killing them with their weight before eating them messily. “It’s just 3 si

Ria caught up with Wilson in no time and beat the crap out of him before taking all the money he had, even though he told her that it wasn’t his money but the guild’s money. She just replied to him, saying, “You and your men attacked me first, so even if your guildmaster comes and apologizes to me personally for your misconduct, I won’t be giving this money back.” Saying that she left and entered the nearest meat shop she could find.It was a large shop where they sold rabbitons. These were monster rabbits that weighed a ton. Their meat was known to boost leg strength and also the muscles of the heart, so it was a shop mostly visited by those who were looking to improve their speed.Ria loved the rabbiton dish so much she ended up eating five whole plates. It cost her only five silver pieces, which she happily paid because she still had a lot of money left.And then she explored the district.Meanwhile, a disc-shaped flying vehicle landed at the headquarters of the dungeon bureau. Ser

Myles and Sercy entered one of the many elevators. Each elevator had lift girls who helped the guests to reach their destination.The lift girl that Myles was in asked him, “Which floor?”Myles, however, looked at Sercy.“98th floor,” Sercy was quick to reply. “We’re here to meet Tiago.”“Thunder Slayer Tiago?” The lift girl was shocked. “How do you know him?”“He’s an old friend, that’s all.”“C-Can you get me his autograph, please?” the lift girl pleaded in a soft tone. If she could sell that autograph, she would earn her year’s worth of salary, after all.“I will try,” Sercy politely replied.“Thank you.”The lift girl then happily escorted them to the 98th floor, a place she hadn’t visited many times before. So, she was also excited. Using the map that was shown on her wrist gadget, she managed to take them to Tiago’s deluxe room without wasting any time.“Don’t forget about the autograph please,” the lift girl reminded Sercy before leaving.Sercy pressed the button next to the st
The Strongest Son-in-law CHAPTER 254
It turned out to be a humiliating day for Sercy because not just Tiago but nobody in the dungeon bureau helped us. They gave all sorts of reasons as to why they couldn’t help her. Most of those reasons were that they were busy with their schedule and wouldn’t be able to allot time to fight for a low-level guild like Dawn guild.Some told her to ask for Tiago's help.There were also those who told her to send Myles to the bureau if she wanted their help. But she had to refuse.All in all, it was a tiring day. Just as they were leaving, the lift girl asked them for the autograph, but Sercy had to apologize to her for not bringing an autograph.However, Myles ended up singing on a random mug and gave it to her, saying, “I’ll become famous in a little while, so keep it with you until then.”The lift girl would have thought Myles was just bragging, but she could see that he was wearing a D* badge, which meant that he was an Ace D-ranker. So she said, “I’ll keep it with me since it doesn’t
The Strongest Son-in-law CHAPTER 255
A school bus was heading to the school, and along the way, it had to pass by a D-rank dungeon that was in a subway.The dungeon looked beautiful like a daffodil flower and gave off a sweet scent.It was a daily route, so the children weren’t even looking at the dungeon as the bus was passing by. They were busy playing a singing game.And they suddenly started hearing the odd siren noises at a unique frequency.The driver was a new guy, so he didn’t know what was going on and stopped the bus, which happened to stop right in front of the dungeon. What separated the bus and the dungeon were the barricades with supernaturally-charged devices installed on them to detect in case of a sudden spike of dungeon energy. It was these devices that were making the sounds.The daffodil flower began to bloom fully and crack as if it was shedding its skin.“It’s a dungeon break!” one of the kids cried out because he had seen one of the television before. “Start the bus!”The driver started the bus, bu
The Strongest Son-in-law CHAPTER 256
The situation in the Flower district became a hot-topic because a lot of school kids were either killed or captured hostage by the cunning goblins.When does a dungeon break?Different people put forward different theories. Most people generally believed that when the beasts grew strong enough the dungeon won’t be able to hold them inside anymore, the dungeon would break and force the monsters out into the earth’s dimension.This was why, the monsters that come out during the dungeon break would be overflowing with the energy of the dungeon and would be at the peak of their powers.Containing a D-rank dungeon break by D-rankers alone would result in the loss of many lives, so C-rankers would join them and lead the groups to fight off the monsters in this case.Currently, there weren’t just C-rankers but even B-ranked Venerers that were waiting outside the subway on both sides. However, like most people believed, these B-rankers didn’t show up to save the children or kill the goblins.

“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
CHAPTER 330
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
