"All right everyone, gather here for a moment, I have something important to say!"

    After exacting revenge on Garnet to the point where she couldn''t open her eyes, let''s forget about continuing working, Myne reluctantly grabbed her task notebook, which now contained one more nightmare-level task, and returned to Aisha and the others. Since the dungeon of strength was merely a novice dungeon, not much of a challenge for anyone except June, they had long ago cleared it and were now enjoying a picnic in a nearby forest by a lake.

    Sylphy, Waffle, and Ted were playing in the lake. Aisha was lounging on a mat, basking in the sun, wearing a sexy bikini, giving her backside—especially her big, bubbly buttocks—the warmth of the sun to help them develop evenly. Amy, the nard, was engrossed in an alchemical book. Only June sat in a rocking chair like a grandma, staring at the floating clouds with lifeless eyes, as if she had lost her will to live. It seemed her training had hit her hard.

    Upon hearing Myne''s call, Sylphy and her two followers emerged from the lake with dissatisfied expressions. Amy also put down her book. Aisha, unconcerned with such trivial matters, continued to lie down, relishing the sun''s warmth. It was early October, and the weather had begun to cool down, making the sunlight feel particularly warm and inviting. Her eyes grew heavy, and if not for the noise caused by certain people, she would have fallen asleep.

    "What happened? Weren''t you going to pee? Where did this urgent matter come from? Also, when did you change your clothes? Didn''t you say you wanted to have some fun with me in the lake?"

    Having been married for almost half a year, and with everyone present being family members around the same age, Sylphy had long since grown a thick skin and thrown aside her shyness. She asked with a hint of annoyance. As for the kind of "fun" she was talking about, it was self-evident, judging by Amy and June''s red faces, that it was of the adult variety.

    "Can you please calm down a bit and listen to me? This is a serious matter; otherwise, why would I disrupt our picnic?" Myne spoke helplessly, rubbing his forehead. In his haste to complete all the tasks in his notebook, he had only given a casual look at his clone''s memory and neglected minor details like wearing only shorts before leaving to exchange positions.

    "When I went to pee, Her Highness the Queen, aka my dear mother-in-law, called me, saying that something urgent had happened. She asked me to meet her as soon as possible, and then she explained that various abnormal incidents were occurring throughout the kingdom. At first, they were not serious, but recently, they have completely spiralled out of control. Due to a shortage of manpower and powerful individuals, she couldn''t do anything to stop them. So, she asked us to open our Clan prematurely and tasked us with solving all these major problems, which are beyond her and her soldiers'' capabilities."

    "Really!?" June''s eyes lit up with excitement, If it weren''t for the fact that she felt embarrassed by Aisha and the others'' stares, she would have hugged him. Only she knew what she had gone through in the past hour. She never expected a troll, considered a foolish monster, to know so many ways to beat people without killing them.

    The amount of slaps she had received, and the teeth and bones she had broken, were enough to make anyone want to die. Thankfully, Aisha had a powerful healing skill that recovered her completely in seconds. Otherwise, with the level of injuries she had sustained, she might not have been able to leave the bed for months unless she drank high-quality healing potions like water.

    If there was anything good that had come out of this, it was that she now had good resistance to beatings and high tolerance of pain. She was no longer frightened when her clothes were destroyed in battle or when others saw her naked. As for what she had gained about fighting, she could only say that she could run faster than her previous self.

    "Have I even lied to you? From now on, you will only fight with humes. Just remember to beat them up the same way that troll boss did to you before finishing them off. That way, you''ll gain more experience," Myne said with a smile, which made June''s face turn black as the bottom of a pot.

    After motivating June to curse him to death, Myne opened a portal and, along with everyone else, arrived in a random desolate alley in the capital city. He looked around and continued walking towards a certain direction. The street was very empty, with few people walking around. The shops were still open, but there were many guards in uniform, carrying swords on their backs, standing at the entrance of each shop. A group of soldiers was patrolling the road nonstop.

    "It seems like things are much more critical than my mother-in-law said," Myne muttered, looking around. Everyone behind him also had serious expressions. They didn''t expect things to be so troublesome.

    "Where are we going?" Sylphy asked nervously, but there was a clear fire of rage in her eyes. If anyone dared to mess with them now, she would cut them to pieces without saying anything.

    "To find some people who can give us inside information," Myne said coldly, continuing to walk towards the slum area of the city.
