TOP SECRET: Adventures in the Dark Continent

At the Fiske family mansion…

Inside Cilia's private room ...

Cilia and Dalaris, the mother and daughter duo, were sitting around a table reading some documents. In some of them the following words were written, Report about Hawk River.

"My dear daughter, what do you think of that?" Cilia asked Dalaris. They were both reading the information they asked for about a person named Berny, but what they found was something else.

"This is quite interesting ... I never thought that Mr. Berny would be this person called Hawk River. I had heard information about him before, some nobles from Silkhall City who arrived in the city about a month ago spread the news about him." Dalaris commented in surprise, she didn't think that was true.

But after thinking about it and seeing what Liu Yang's three slaves looked like when he was in Wildwick City. She confirmed that they were the same women who arrived with him.

"Yes. This is really surprising. It looks like he had some interesting encounters on the road to Silkhall City. It says here that he can fight alone against more than a thousand nocturnal creatures from low-level regions. Is this some kind of joke? Fight a solo fight against a thousand nocturnal creatures? This seems like a lie here" Cilia did not believe that part of the information.

Because it was insane to think. How could anyone manage to fight a thousand nocturnal creatures alone? People had limited energy and cannot fight forever. This is something that everyone knows.

Unfortunately, no one knows about the titles that people in the initial village can get. Only those who got the titles can know about it, that is, only Liu Yang, he was the only one who has managed to do this so far.

No one in the initial village was as lucky as he was. The main reason he achieved this is his Zombie Poison Immunity ability. Without that passive skill, he would never have been able to find out about the titles.

"Mom, I also think that this is something exaggerated. Nobles in the weaker areas must have invented this to boost Hawk River's reputation. For there is no logic in this type of information. Even if I assume he is at level 50, he must not have the strength to defeat these creatures, as all of his points would be in the vitality attribute. Furthermore, a thousand nocturnal creatures is not a small number, even ten nocturnal creatures were already difficult for an ordinary person to deal with." Dalaris also did not believe the information she received about Liu Yang.

At least that part about him fighting a thousand nocturnal creatures. Information about his name as Hawk River, the slaves, and the beasts, the mother and daughter duo still believe.

"My dear daughter, what is your new impression of him?"

"He's a great pervert. He took advantage of me while we were dancing, then he almost passed out on top of my breasts. He also has some slaves as lovers, and one of those slaves is cursed. I also received information that he bought four more slaves in the slave market, three adult women, and a little girl. It makes me think he's some kind of lolicon for buying the little girl." Dalaris said disgustingly. She didn't like Liu Yang buying a little girl as his slave.

Everyone would have the same thought about Liu Yang buying a little girl as a slave.

"My dear daughter, I think you are a little mistaken about this. If he is a lolicon, he would have more than one little girl along with his slaves, but as he doesn't have it, it shows that he had another goal in buying the little girl. I did some research and discovered the skills of the slaves he bought at the city's slave market." Cilia had a different thought than her daughter. She did other research that led her to have that thought.

"What kind of skills? I saw that his other three slaves have summoning magic, healing and support magic, and a fighter. But the new slaves, I haven't researched yet" Dalaris understood that her mother knew something that she doesn't know.

"Look at this. This information was provided by the slave market manager" Cilia showed her daughter a scroll.

"Language of the Beasts? Cook? Create Traps? Scarlet Vision? Sharp Hair? Are these the skills of slaves?" Dalaris read the information on the skills of the four women Liu Yang bought. But it was just the innate skills they had at birth.

"Yes. Those are their skills. The ability to talk to the beasts belongs to the little girl, I think he bought her because of that. As he has five beasts, he bought her to talk to them" Cilia speculated.

That was just a hunch of hers, but it was right. Liu Yang bought Tessa because of that reason.

"I see… Mom, do I still need to try to form a good relationship with him? He must have perverted thoughts about the two of us like other men." Dalaris was aware of the thoughts of many noblemen in the city.

Many of them had the desire to take the double mother and daughter as lovers or slaves. For they were beautiful and had a high status within the kingdom. Otherwise, they would have already been taken by someone.

Cilia was a widow while Dalaris was single. As two women, this situation is somewhat unusual, as it was normal for them to have some kind of partner. But for some reason, they still had none. Cilia could remarry and have a new husband, but she prefers not to do it again, at least not at the moment. Dalaris prefers to remain single because she has not found a suitable man for her.

"He should have. It would be strange if he didn't. My dear daughter, you can try to form a good relationship with him, but for him to become your man, he needs to show that he deserves it" Cilia and her daughter had confidence in their beauty to be able to seduce any man they want. But it also brings unwanted problems.

"Mom, I don't think he would be interested in taking me as his wife. He already has so many slaves that they can relieve his sexual desires. According to the information, he prefers to be a traveler who likes to explore the world in search of food and beautiful women. This shows that he does not like to stand in the same place. A woman like me, who lives in the city and doesn't travel, doesn't suit him" Dalaris showed her thoughts. She would rather be just a friend of Liu Yang than a lover of him.

Since Liu Yang preferred to travel, he would never be near her, so whenever she needed him, he would not be near her. Having such a man was very bad for a woman.

"I see… My dear daughter, that shouldn't be a problem. If you want to be his friend, you can do that. But if he shows great potential, the other members of the family will try to pressure you to be his lover." Cilia sighed as she spoke those words.

"I know that. They are a large group of greedy people, our family has no problem and no one has the courage to offend us, but they still want more wealth. This is a lot of greed at heart," Dalaris said angrily. She didn't like her relatives because of that.

Usually, they already try to pressure her a little to get her to marry a noble and increase the influence of the family, but this was always refused. The Fiske family's other groups do not accept this.

The current leader of the Fiske family was Cilia, as she had a somewhat special status within the kingdom, so she became the head of the family, although many men did not like it. But none of them dared to comment because of her special status.

As a noble family, they had many political marriages, so it was normal for marriages to be arranged among the youngest.

Dalaris did not like this and always refused, the part of Cilia's family is also opposed to this because they have not found a suitable person for her yet. When that happens, they will force her to do so.

Cilia's late husband's family was also controlled by her, as she was his legitimate wife, so everything went into her hands. But since his family did not want to be run by a woman, they filed for divorce.

They used her husband's name to divorce Cilia, meaning they did something insane to prevent Cilia from running his family. Even the marriage record was torn and deleted from the kingdom records.

But they would soon regret it, as Cilia showed her special status after these things happened.

The elders in her late husband's family tried everything to fix things and try to create a good relationship with Cilia again. But it was all in vain, she refused everything and announced that she had no relationship with them, even though her daughter had no relationship with them.

Dalaris was saddened by this, but it was something they did themselves. She didn't blame her mother for saying those things.

The other side did not try to do anything and preferred to remain silent, as something very bad can happen to them if they try to do anything against Cilia or Dalaris.
