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

"Therefore, bloodline techniques are actually a very cost-effective thing, and normally I would not recommend that you use them."

"However, for you who already has impurities in your body, the safest option now is to eat the fruit created by the same origin technique to avoid rejection."

"Considering that your lifespan is reduced to only three months due to the effects of the bloodline technique, even if you consume the bloodline fruit, your remaining lifespan is estimated to be no more than ten years."

At this moment, Sia, who was extracting blood, suddenly uttered a questioning sound.

"Ok?"

"What's wrong?" Lynn asked, puzzled. "There must be something else that hasn't been said since your lifespan is no more than ten years?"

"The portion is too small..." Sia looked at the fruit in her hand strangely. "There should normally be two, one for Lynn and one for Jacken..."

"But now only Lynn's is left..."

"So, this means that Jacken is also an imposter?" Lynn was greatly surprised. "That doesn't make sense. His resentment towards his inferior bloodline just now didn't seem fake!"

"Based on my identification skills, he is indeed Jacken himself, and I also retrieved Jacken's personal records before I came here, so the possibility of him being switched is not high..."

As Sia spoke, her expression suddenly turned strange:

"No way?"

"What can't you do?" Lynn asked, puzzled.

At this moment, Xia said with a very subtle expression, "I've only ever heard of this kind of thing in some romance novels."

"Forced to marry a man she didn't love, she chose to have an affair and have another man's child..."

Lynn's expression immediately became subtle:

"Does it have to be this melodramatic?"

So, Jacken never had red dragon blood in the first place?!

Also, how come there are such toxic captions in another world?

"This is troublesome. It will probably require a comprehensive bloodline investigation within the family."

"They actually kept it a secret for over forty years..."

Sia shook her head and then tossed the fruit in her hand to Lynn.

Lynn quickly reached out and caught it, then looked at Sia in surprise.

"You're giving me the thing right now? Aren't you afraid I'll go back on my word?"

Comparing 3 months to 10 years, Lynn isn't stupid; she'd definitely choose the latter.

As for bloodline issues, none of that matters as much as life.

What puzzled Lynn was that Sia had given him the fruit without any conditions, which made Lynn suspicious.

"What are you afraid of that you'll change your mind?"

Sia looked at Lynn with a puzzled expression:

"Even if you eat the Bloodline Fruit, you will only possess the red dragon bloodline of the Nightworka family."

"To truly unlock the power of the Red Dragon bloodline, specialized training and specific resource support are required."

"At present, only the Mona family and the Knightworth family can provide this support."

"If you eat the fruit, you will only have ten years left to live."

"To restore a normal lifespan, the red dragon bloodline needs to be cultivated to the level equivalent to a level 30 skill."

"If you're not an idiot, you should understand that once you've eaten the fruit, it's not a matter of regretting it anymore, but a matter of whether or not you can live without the support of your family."

Upon hearing this, Lynn looked at Sia with a strange expression:

"You just said..."

"Bloodline is equivalent to skill?"

Upon hearing this, Xia looked at Lynn with a puzzled expression:

"I did say that, so what?"

"That's all."

Lynn casually tossed the fruit into his mouth and took a big bite!

With a whoosh!

The skill system has been updated automatically!

[Skill: Red Dragon's Body, learned!]

As the skill system took effect, Lynn couldn't help but smile.

Just as Lynn was feeling happy, Sia suddenly called out to him:

"Don't be too happy yet, there's something else that might make you even happier."

"Huh? What is it?" Lynn was taken aback. What could make him happier than solving the problem of premature death?

At this moment, Xia said with a serious expression:

"Because you are now almost in the same situation as Lynn Knightworth, plus the issue of Jacken's background."

"So, theoretically speaking, you are the only true direct descendant left in your branch of the Knightworth family."

Lynn was stunned when he heard this:

What do you mean by that?

At this moment, Sia gave Lynn a strange look, and said with a hint of eagerness:

"That means, from the perspective of inheritance rights, Jacken Knightwick's assets, and even the assets of Ruth Knightwick and Tanning Knightwick, will be taken back by the family and transferred to you, the true heir!"

"You should understand what I mean by that, right?"

Upon hearing this, Lynn paused for a moment, and after realizing what was happening, the smile on his face gradually turned distorted.

If that's what you mean, then I'm not sleepy anymore!!

Chapter 25: They moved into my house!!

Clang!

The iron cell door was pulled open, and the sudden change in light made Ruth, who had spent the night in the cell, squint.

At that moment, Cohen, dressed in a black military police uniform, stood outside the door and said expressionlessly:

"Ruth Knightworth".

"Come out with me."

Upon hearing this, Ruth's face lit up with joy: "Can I go out now?"

Cohen didn't answer, but walked in, took out his key, unlocked the handcuffs that Ruth was locked to the bed frame railing, and then gestured for her to leave quickly.

As soon as the handcuffs were removed, Ruth couldn't wait to walk out of the cell and see the sunlit corridor and the military police guards.

"Finally... I'm finally out..."

As Cohen walked out of the cell, he looked at Ruth, who was weeping with joy, and his eyes held a hint of pity.

"Let's go, your family is waiting for you."

Upon hearing this, Ruth, who had been weeping with joy, was now filled with anger:

"family?"

"Damn Jacken, I'm not going to let him get away with this."

"And that Mudblood who got me imprisoned!!"

Seeing Ruth start cursing, Cohen raised an eyebrow, but said expressionlessly:

"I think you need to go back inside and calm down."

As he spoke, he pulled the closed cell door open again.

Ruth immediately hid to the side, lowered her head, and didn't dare to say another word.

Seeing this, Cohen didn't bother to say anything to her. Even because of some instructions from the city lord's mansion, his gaze towards Ruth still carried a hint of pity.

"Behave yourself now?"

"Behave yourself now."

Cohen nodded upon hearing this, gesturing for Ruth to follow:

"Let's go then!"

Soon, Cohen led Ruth out of the temporary detention center and into the lobby of the military police headquarters.

Here, Ruth soon spotted her daughter, Tanning, with a slightly round face and freckles, waiting for her.

"Mom!" Tan Ning rushed over when she saw her mother come out. "The military police suddenly came to my friend's house earlier, saying that you and Dad were arrested and asked me to come and bail them out. What exactly happened?"

"Tan Ning, how come you bailed me out?" Ruth looked at Tan Ning in shock, then asked with a surprised expression, "Where's that Mudblood?"

"What Mudblood?" Tan Ning paused for a moment, then suddenly thought of Lynn: "You mean Lynn? What does this have to do with him?"

At this moment, Ruth gritted her teeth and said with a ferocious expression:

"How can it not be related?"

"It was him and Jacken who brought me in!"

"what?"

Tan Ning was stunned when he heard this.

Did her father and Lynn, whom her father wanted to kill, team up to send her mother in?

Is this...is this reasonable?

At this moment, Ruth cursed and said, "Damn Jacken! If he hadn't gone to the guild and been randomly posting duplicate adventurer quests, I wouldn't have ended up here because of this!!"

"They say one thing to your face and another behind your back!!"

"When he was pursuing me, he didn't seem to have so many tricks up his sleeve."

"And that Lynn, he actually went to the Adventurers' Guild to accuse our family of quest fraud! Damn it, if he hadn't gone there, would I have posted the quest at the guild?!"

Tan Ning gradually realized what was going on.

This means that after they posted the task to find Lynn yesterday, Jacken posted another task to find someone, which gave Lynn a handle to use against him, resulting in her mother being imprisoned by the military police.

How could something so abstract exist?

Tan Ning was stunned for a moment, then quickly asked about Jack's whereabouts:

"Wait, if it's Mom who got arrested, what about Dad? Where did he go?"

"Let him go wherever he wants! He'd better never come back!!"

Ruth's face was now contorted with rage as she spoke:

"If he hadn't seemed so honest, would I have married him?"

"So many men were pursuing me back then. If it weren't for his powerful older sister and the fact that we were from the same clan, would I have even chosen him?"

Tan Ning looked troubled upon hearing this. She was already familiar with this old-fashioned trope of "it's all my fault for marrying the wrong person".

"Where did Dad go?"

At this moment, Cohen, who had been watching for a while, suddenly said:

“Jackson Knightworth has been arrested on suspicion of murder.”

"Based on the timeline, you should have about 18 hours left to raise the money to bail him out."

Upon hearing this, Ruth's expression changed, and Tan Ning, who was standing next to her, also turned pale.

Clearly, both men were aware of the significance of the murder.

Cohen seemed oblivious to their reactions and continued:

"If you want to bail him out, you'd better go back and raise the money now."
