After talking about Ark, a complicated expression appeared on Jay's parents face.
A moment of hesitation, Lara finally asked.
“You're one of the higher-ups of the Sword of Sufferings right, Jay? Could it be .. could it be that you are aware of some medicinal or herb recipes? Maybe we could-“
“Not possible, Mom. First, I have absolutely no idea of the recipe for the medicine or the evolutionary potion. The way of making it is also complicated because it requires a lot of careful process. Besides, even if I know the recipe and can make an evolutionary potion, I won't tell you either.”
“Why? Didn't you how important-“
“I know it's very important, Mom. It was precisely for that reason that I couldn't tell you even if I knew about it.
I'm not a selfish, shameless man and thank you, Mom. Moreover, this world has been chaotic and messy, so please stop your selfish attitude and always want to win yourself like that.
In this cruel world, no one cares whether you are female or not, mature or young, and various other reasons. Respect and such have died. Golden Maple Group, a large international scale company that was once gone.
So please, stop imposing your will as before because I'm fed up with it, Mom.”
Hearing Jay's words, Lara's trembling body held back the anger. His eyes looked red, clearly feeling angry and sad because of his son's words. She was about to say something, but Chris suddenly patted her on the shoulder.
At that moment Lara knew. If this time he forced his will as before, Jay would definitely leave. Not just going away for a while, but never coming back because it has no sense of belonging to the Golden Maple Group.
The reason why the young man came back was obviously because of worrying about them. If the two of them were to let her down, the family's affection might just disappear.
“In my opinion, it is better for Golden Maple Group to trade with Sword of Sufferings in the normal way. Although not as fast as ‘stealing’ belongs to others, but that is the right way.
Moreover, trading with Sword of Sufferings actually benefited the Golden Maple Group. Last time, Chelsea traded some of her insights about the city to get some notes on certain plants.
According to him, with the knowledge he got, soon Chelsea could make a potion antidote to low levels of poison better and without side effects.”
Hearing their son's words, Chris and Lara's eyes immediately widened. They did not expect Chelsea to make such a great discovery.
It seemed that the two of them were too focused on the information about the Sword of Sufferings to forget what those people had actually been able to during their time there.
“If there is nothing else, then I will go first, Mom, Dad.”
“Wait!”
Not yet able to stand, Lara immediately stopped her son.
Jay frowned. Looking up at his mother, the man asked.
“What's up, Mom?”
“Do you know what happened earlier?”
“Is something wrong?” Jay tilted his head with a confused expression.
“Actually, the patrol team did not return. The next squad that was on patrol accidentally found them. More precisely, their heads were at the border of the territory..
Twenty of them were beheaded. From the cruel way of doing it and the bad relationship lately, I'm sure it has something to do with Cursed Berserkers.”
Hearing that, Jay immediately shook his head. He hurriedly replied.
“I know it's sad news, Mom. But I can't do anything. Even if it has power, I can't move around as it affects the Sword of Sufferings.
I came here as your son, Mom, Dad. Not as a member of the Golden Maple Group or anything like that. Sorry, I can't help you guys.”
“Stupid!” shout Lara. He looked at his son furiously. “I'm not saying this because I want to send you there. Even if you are strong, you cannot face hundreds or thousands of people alone. Cursed Berserkers hate us, so you have to be careful not to go after them! Don't die just from being overconfident!”
Jay got up and said casually.
“Take it easy Mom. I'm not so stupid. If nothing else, then I'll go.”
Looking towards Jay leaving, Lara let out a heavy sigh. The woman then turned to her husband.
“Did I really make a mistake, Chris?”
Chris looked hesitant, but finally still said.
“What Jay said is true. We used to force it too much. Ever since the world changed, I have realized the many mistakes I have made. It's just .. You haven't changed at all, Lara.
I think making changes and adjusting is also important.
I mean, the world doesn't revolve around us, so we have to adjust to the world we're in.”
Hearing Chris' reply, Lara did not get angry or throw the man away as usual. Instead, he simply nodded lightly with a sad expression on his face.

Meanwhile, at the Cursed Berserkers headquarters.
“Seems like the Boss is in a big temper.”
The tall, thin, bald figure, and having a full body of tattoos said in a tired tone.
Beside him, a shorter figure appeared, but had a trained body, looking wild and agile looking at the man with a grin on his face.
“Didn't you understand how temprament Boss, Scorpio?”
“Stay only. This time he was furious, and there must have been a troublesome incident. Moreover, it seems that this incident has something to do with Aisha. I'm surprised you can still laugh, Spider.”
Hearing Scorpio's words, the man called Spider was stunned in place. He immediately approached the fellow while asking in a disbelief tone.
“Don't try to lie to me, Scorpio! If not-“
“For what did I lie to you? After all, the team was led by Aisha. So it looks like something happened to him.
I think you better forget it. I mean, that woman is not interested in you at all. He's also strong, so you can't force him. Wouldn't you rather just give up?”
“You know nothing, Scorpio! Me and Aisha are meant to be together! Only by going through various problems can our feelings be combined! Blooming beautifully beyond the love of ordinary people!”
Hearing Spider's words, Scorpio only shook his head lightly. According to him, his partner was experiencing high delusions.
Just because they get a similar nickname, Spider thinks that the two are the soul mate he fears. Aisha is nicknamed the Bone Spider, while the man next to her is nicknamed the Crimson Spider.
As for himself, the fellow of that careless and agile man had the nickname Crimson Scorpion.
Those two people were the higher-ups of the Cursed Berserkers, people whom Crocodile trusted.
Walking for some time, they finally reached their destination. Only, when they got there they were immediately faced with a heavy atmosphere.
In the leader's chair, there was a figure of Crocodile sitting quietly without saying a word. People could see his dark and gloomy face. Coupled with the violent killing intent ...
The people who came realized that there must be a big problem that they have to face.
