Son-In-Law Gets an Upgrade

Not knowing where to go, Alex found himself sitting at the entrance of the Elysian Guild. He waited from dawn till dusk, but no one came his way.

Just as he was about to leave and find a place to rest before coming back the next day, a figure caught his attention.

Upon seeing someone approaching, he thought it was someone from the Elysian Guild returning. Instantly alert, he swiftly approached the person and, without hesitation, grabbed them by the neck.

With a fiery gaze and a chilling tone, he demanded, “Tell me, where have you taken my son? Why are you deliberately hiding from me after I’ve arrived? What exactly is your purpose?”

The person being choked by Alex struggled desperately, trying to pry open the latter’s hands, but not matter how hard they tried, they couldn’t break free.

It wasn’t until a moment later that Alex realized the person he was choking was just an ordinary man. After all, if it had been someone from the Elysian Guild, they wouldn’t have been so defenseless. This person has no trace of Mortal Force within him. I can’t believe I almost ended up choking him to death.

As soon as Alex released his grip, the man began coughing violently and staggered back several steps, looking at Alex with fear in his eyes.

“W-Who are you? I have no quarrel with you, so why did you attack me?” the man said timidly, his eyes filled with terror as he stared at Alex.

The man’s reaction seemed genuine, and it didn’t appear to be something he could fake. Alex was now almost certain that the person in front of him was just an ordinary man.
