Son-In-Law Gets an Upgrade novel Chapter 1118

Chapter 1118 Epitome Of Foolishness 

Richard, not being well-versed in martial arts, had limited knowledge of the specifics. He simply recounted that the individuals who seized control of the Grant family had lightly touched the Grant family’s bodyguards, resulting in them being instantly electrocuted and rendered unconscious. 

Confronted with such a mysterious and formidable technique, all those from the Grant family who attempted to resist were similarly electrocuted and incapacitated. Richard himself was electrocuted and remained unconscious for an entire day and night before finally regaining consciousness. 

Garett and Richard lived in rather remote places, which were not exactly within Lumenopolis. Therefore, Alex could only travel to Lumenopolis by car to explore and find out the truth. 

In the remote area, there existed only one bus that provided transportation to Lumenopolis, with a fare of merely twenty. 

After hopping onto the bus, Alex intended to catch a quick nap. However, as soon as he closed his eyes, a middle-aged man settled down beside him. 

The seats on the bus were arranged in pairs, and as soon as the man sat down, the space felt a bit cramped. It was mainly because the man was quite overweight, seemingly weighing over two hundred pounds. 

Unable to sleep, Alex stared out the window at the scenery, his mind preoccupied with how to deal with those people from the secret forces. 

Alex was quite confident in his current strength as a first-phase Grandmaster. He was convinced that there wouldn’t be any formidable beings, even in the secret world where spiritual energy flowed abundantly. 

He firmly believed that he possessed the necessary strength to hold his own in any fight. 

Ever since advancing to the first-phase Grandmaster, even with the assistance of the nephrite badge, Alex still felt that his strength was improving too slowly. Only by continuously battling against experts could he better stimulate his own potential, and thus, progress more rapidly in terms of strength. 

Alex was deep in thought when that man suddenly bumped into him. 

“Hey, young man, are you also heading to Lumenopolis? Judging by your small frame, you don’t seem like someone who can do heavy labor. What are your plans?” the man asked Alex with a smile. 

“Yes, I’m heading to Lumenopolis. I’m planning to find someone from the secret forces,” Alex casually mentioned. 

Upon the mention of the “secret forces,” the man’s eyes sparkled with intrigue as if he had discovered a shared topic of interest. “What a remarkable coincidence! My name is Zack Wallace, but since you’re younger, you can simply call me Zack. I’m actually on my way to Lumenopolis as well. I have intentions of applying for a position as a chef in the secret forces. While I may not possess an array of other skills, the dishes I prepare are undeniably mouthwatering. It would be an immense source of pride for me to cook for the deities in the secret forces, and to have my culinary talents recognized by others.” 

Listening to Zack’s words, Alex finally understood that he had mistakenly thought that Alex, like himself, had come to Lumenopolis intending to work for those people from the secret forces. 

It became clear that the people here actually held the secret forces in high regard, viewing them as deities rather than bandits. 

“They have caused so much havoc in Lumenopolis, so why would you still want to work with them?

People like that will inevitably be driven away,” Alex remarked with indifference in his voice.
