Everyone's become an adventurer, so who's going to put in the effort themselves?

Mira's eyes held a strange look when she said 'nothing was illegal'.

Although Lynn's actions weren't illegal, they were still immoral!

“He didn’t break the law.” Cohen nodded upon hearing this, while inwardly remarking the same sentiment: ‘He’s just a bit unethical.’

Even among the diverse and often chaotic group of adventurers, someone as wicked as Lynn is extremely rare.

Especially since this demon pill happens to be a member of the Knightworth family.

The thought of having such a demonic creature in his family gave Cohen a headache.

Let's get this mess sorted out quickly.

As Cohen thought this, he turned to Jaken, whose expression was tense and whose eyes were filled with anger, and said:

"I'm sure you heard it too."

“Given the current situation, if you pursue Lynn’s recent slander, he will send your wife to jail.”

"Even if you pursue it, because he is your nephew and you were the ones who committed fraud first, in the end it will most likely just be an apology."

"Of course, if you don't pursue the matter, and Lynn drops the case, your wife will be able to go home with you soon after giving her statement."

Hearing Cohen say that, Jacken's face showed extreme humiliation.

This feeling of being right but unable to punish the other party is truly awful.

But now, Jacken has no choice but to give in.

Judging from Lady Sia beside him and Mira, who had just spoken up for Lynn, Jacken could tell that among the people present, Cohen was probably the only one who was slightly biased towards him.

Even Cohen, in reality, only sided with him in attitude, knowing that he had been wronged, but he couldn't actually punish Lynn.

This frustrating situation infuriated Jacken. He took a deep breath, suppressing the urge to vomit blood, and then took another breath, seemingly trying to calm his anger.

Just then, Xia narrowed her pink starry eyes, concealing the strange blue glint in them.

At this moment, Jacken suddenly lost control of his emotions and started cursing:

"Just because he's a formal member of the clan whose bloodline concentration meets the requirements?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Jacken realized he had said the wrong thing.

Lynn's gaze struck him like a bullet.

—Just because he is a formal member of the clan whose bloodline concentration meets the standard?

This sounded like a simple complaint, but to Lynn it was as solid evidence.

He had already suspected that Jacken was targeting the real Lynn because of the red dragon's bloodline, and now, this offhand complaint was enough to prove that Lynn's deduction was probably true.

In gaming terms, this situation means that Jack has finally revealed his health bar.

His weakness is his bloodline, and his problem is also his bloodline. What he covets is probably Lynn's original bloodline!

In this way, the problem becomes one.

Besides sexual intercourse, how else can the bloodline of this world be 'spread'?

Alchemy tools? Skills?

Once the method of the crime is found, it's equivalent to finding Jacken's Achilles' heel.

Because Jeken, who could turn Lynn into a red dragon, would definitely use this technique on himself.

Just as Lynn's gaze was like a knife, scraping across Jacken's face, Cohen beside him sighed:

"Jackson Knightworth!"

"If that's how you want to think, there's nothing I can do about it."

"But I need to remind you that the Knightworth family has never abandoned any member of the clan whose bloodline does not meet the requirements."

"Regardless of whether the bloodline concentration meets the standard, as long as the clansman is willing to become an adventurer, the family will provide certain support."

"The difference in bloodline concentration is simply due to the lack of a cultivation program specifically developed for bloodlines; in essence, there is not much difference."

"I think someone your age should understand this."

Hearing this, already knowing things were going wrong, and not wanting to expose himself any further, Jacken still felt a surge of anger.

"Making ordinary people without bloodlines into adventurers, what's the difference between that and sending them to their deaths?"

"Cough cough!!"

Another coughing sound rang out.

Upon hearing this, Jack's expression changed, and he turned his head to see Sia's face, which had lost its smile:

“Be careful what you say, Jacken Knightworth.”

"Your actions just now have crossed the line!"

Upon hearing this, Lynn raised an eyebrow but said nothing.

He had read the Adventurer's Handbook and knew that adventurers with special bloodlines had superior basic attributes compared to ordinary adventurers.

An ordinary person's physical strength is just that—a little bit. Without experience, they can barely move their body when carrying a hundred-pound weight. But the Knightworth family's physical strength allows them to easily carry a three-hundred-pound weight with ease.

That's the difference between the two.

This innate difference is said to be incurable even for hero-level adventurers.

Therefore, Jacken's idea can only be described as politically incorrect.

After all, among adventurers, ordinary strongmen still have the advantage.

Those who think they're superior just because of their bloodline have been taught a lesson by many ordinary geniuses.

Furthermore, given that preventing the monsters from the dungeon from advancing to the surface requires the efforts of ordinary adventurers, Sia's stern warning naturally became a matter of course.

This is a matter of political correctness, and Jeken cannot overstep his bounds.

After warning Jeken, Sia turned her head and looked at Cohen:

"Mr. Cohen."

"I understand what you mean."

Cohen nodded, then turned to Jacken and said:

"For the next 7 days, you will go to the monastery every morning to participate in a course on basic family knowledge. I will tell the priest at the monastery to have you write a 5,000-word self-criticism every day and submit it to me for review."

"Heh~!"

Seeing that Jack, a man in his forties, had to hand in his homework like a primary school student, Lynn couldn't help but grin and make a strange noise.

Jacken shuddered and turned his head to see Lynn's mocking face.

He wanted to say something, but before he could speak, he noticed that the two military police officers who were escorting Ruth were looking at him with hostility.

These two military police officers were clearly ordinary adventurers, and geniuses at that, who had climbed their way up step by step, suppressing those born with noble bloodlines, to reach the position of military police officer.

Clearly, Jacken's words had offended both of them.

Realizing the situation was dire, Jack clenched his right fist and lowered his head slightly.

"I...I understand. I will go to the monastery for class on time."

Seeing that Jacken had calmed down, Cohen turned to look at Lynn:

"So, what's next...?"

Cohen immediately wanted Lynn to drop the charges and to pack up that idiot Ruth and send her back.

Before Cohen could speak, Lynn suddenly yawned:

"I'm a little tired. Can we talk about this tomorrow?"

"Huh?" Cohen was cut off by Lynn before he could finish speaking.

Before Cohen could speak, Lynn interrupted again:

"I understand what you mean, Mr. Cohen, but isn't this not the military police's working hours?"

Lynn blinked, but said with a mischievous grin:

"In that case, it should be in accordance with regulations for me to handle Aunt Ruth's appeal tomorrow morning, right?"

Cohen's eyes widened upon hearing this.

This kid actually wants to force Ruth to spend the night at the military police headquarters?!

Ruth, who had thought she could go home that night, suddenly collapsed to her knees, causing even the military police officers who were startled by Lynn to stumble.

"You beast!!"

How could you be such a beast?!

Ruth's grief-stricken and shrill voice seemed to pierce the sky at that moment.

At that moment, Lynn blinked, then looked innocently at Mira beside him:

"Miss Mira, my actions shouldn't be illegal, right?"

Mira almost lost control of her expression when she heard this.

The sight of Ruth breaking down in tears made Mira's eyelids twitch even more.

For the first time, Mira even felt sorry for Ruth.

Why did you provoke him?

Chapter 20 Is it too late to call for help now?

The main gate of the military police headquarters.

Looking at Ruth, who was crying and wailing, Cohen was also at a loss for what to do.

"Keep her under control and don't let her cry herself to sleep!"

"And you, Lynn Knightworth!!!"

Cohen turned around, glared at Lynn, and pointed at the road with an expression that was neither eye to eye nor nose to nose:

"Those who are not involved, get out of here right now! Tomorrow morning at 9 a.m., before I go to work, I want to see you signing the settlement agreement as required!!"

Despite the urge to swear, Cohen let Lynn go.

After all, Lynn hadn't broken any rules, and the laws of Mona City couldn't punish him. As for moral condemnation, Cohen suspected that Lynn had no morals at all.

"Bring the man in, and Jacken, you come in too. Pay the bail first."

After saying that, Cohen led his men and forced Ruth into the military police headquarters.

Seeing this, Jack gritted his teeth, forcing himself not to look at Lynn, and quickly followed.

Seeing Jacken leave, and only when only a small silhouette remained, Lynn visibly breathed a sigh of relief.

At that moment, Mira walked over, glanced at the gate of the military police headquarters, then turned to Lynn and said:

"So you know what fear is?"

"Look at what you're saying."

Lynn twitched the corner of her mouth, turned her gaze, and glanced at those deep blue eyes that seemed so close:

"How did I know Jacken could be so patient?"

After speaking, Lynn paused, then glanced at the ever-smiling, distinguished lady beside him:

"Or perhaps, it was this esteemed lady who helped Jacken overcome his anger?"

Upon hearing this, Xia was taken aback, seemingly not expecting Lynn to turn the conversation to her.

However, when she saw that Lynn actually struck up a conversation with her, Sia showed an expression of interest:

"I've only seen two troublemakers like you in all these years."

the second time?

Who was the first one?

A question arose in Lynn's mind.
