Chapter 48 – Chapter 48 Port City
No matter how quietly they had sex, the woman’s intuition was great.
She was startled as Janie continued to pretend to sleep in her own seat.
She said, ‘I thought it was not a normal relationship, but… ‘
It was a widely known fact that the upper classes were cursed with infertility and had promiscuous sex lives.
However, commoners who did not have enough money to be cursed with infertility had no choice but to hold back their sexual desire, ejaculate outside, or just get pregnant.
Janey was from the street and, of course, she had only heard of this kind of relationship.
She said, ‘Of course, after a life-or-death battle, she says her sex drive rises… ‘
Even within the general adventurer’s party, it was common to have feelings of intimacy.
And female adventurers who couldn’t ruin their life plans due to pregnancy were often cursed with infertility if they accumulated enough money.
‘But at the same time, three people like that… ‘
Janey herself was heating up. She was an adventurer who also went to battle.
But she didn’t have the courage to ask herself to join the two women.
Janey just stayed still.

Jason returned to the Wolf family after a full week.
Jeffrey, who was interested in Jason’s every move, immediately sent Demeter to check what Jason had done and what results he had achieved.
Hearing that Jason had returned from exploring the depths of the sewer dungeon, Jeffrey smiled.
The children of the upper classes did not go to the dungeon often for various reasons, even though their parents supported them.
The main excuse was that the dungeon was dirty and dangerous.
But as soon as Jason was ready, she boldly went deeper into the dungeon.
“Hehe. If you have a desire, so be it. So, who were the people you took with you?”
“Spia, who was a thief teacher. Dark Elf slave and warrior Nineyar. I am Janie, a priest whom I purposely saved for this dungeon exploration.”
“Okay.”
Spia is a woman who worked for the Wolf family.
She and she stayed by Jason’s side for a long time.
According to her, she even intermixed herself with Jason.
A woman with a good body was rather more trustworthy than a man.
And although I was worried that the slave was a warlike Dark Elf, he was wearing a slave necklace that could subdue him with a single word.
She could trust that alone.
“Jane. I am hearing it for the first time.”
“This is a woman who worked as a low-class adventurer. The head of the family may not know.”
“I don’t need a priest. But when she is betrayed in the middle of a dungeon, she is also the most painful of priests. How is the reputation around you?”
“They say there is loyalty.”
“Originally, until a real crisis comes, everyone pretends to be loyal. You don’t know a person’s heart until he goes to the bottom. You know, don’t you?”
Geoffrey was worried that his youngest son, who was full of talent, might be found as a cold corpse in the dungeon.
Demeter laughed.
“But Master Jason must have expected that much. That’s why he must have personally checked out several candidates and made a choice.”
“But you must not let go of the string of doubt until the end. It hurts less when I get stabbed in the back of the head while doubting.”
Now, Janey’s name will gradually become known in the family.
And one of the most likely conspiracies came to mind.
Geoffrey assumed that if he had an idea, he could do it with other children.
“Demeter.”
“Yes, my lord.”
“Try it as if you were ordered by another child. Sneak.”
Demeter understood at once what Geoffrey was saying.
“Yes. We will try to do that.”
Demeter went out of the study.
Jeffrey sat back in his chair and thought about his youngest son.
If he were a child from another aristocratic family, he would have been safely trained under suitable teachers.
Jeffrey was also a pickpocket on the street at the age of 12.
Even as he worried about his youngest son’s growth, he liked it.
It would be fun to test the subordinates chosen by such a son.
If it is confirmed as a traitor, it is good to be able to eliminate it in advance, and it is better if the son’s eyes are clear.
Jeffrey was laughing.

Demeter headed to Jason’s annex while Jason was away to manage the kissing room for a while.
She said and she asked to see Janey separately.
“This is Demeter.”
“I have heard of fame. My name is Janey.”
Demeter was also famous outside her family.
Because she is superhuman, she couldn’t help it.
It was also one of the dreams of every adventurer.
Janey was a little scared.
As for his assassination, the best bandit in the empire is in front of him.
There were very few people who could be ignored as just the right hand of the Wolf Family.
He couldn’t do that unless he was at least an adventurer in the ranks of superhumans.
“Let’s talk briefly.”
“Yes.”
“I am following Master Tigris.”
It was revealed that Choin officially supports the succession of the family.
Even if it was the right arm, not the family head, the weight was not light.
“Brother Tigris is concerned about Master Jason’s rapid growth these days.”
“Even though he’s big, he’s still young… “
“Let me tell you so there is no misunderstanding. You said you were seeking money to resurrect her sister, right? She will give you 50,000 gold. And I will make a request to a priest who is related to the Wolf family so that it does not cost any additional money.”
Originally, it was money that Tigris could not possibly offer.
50,000 gold was a lot of money.
But Temeter was making an offer for the sake of testing, so he didn’t mind talking about that kind of money.
Demeter’s expressionless expression made it difficult for Janie to determine whether this proposal was true or false.
Janey was confused.
In the past, Jason thought that if it was arrogance gold, it would be difficult for other Wolf family children to present it.
But when Choin said that, it felt like the real thing.
If Demeter supported Tigris, she really thought she could give herself 50,000 gold.
Demeter saw her jenny shake, and her words shook her even more.
“I’ll also give you a regeneration potion. I have some left over from writing in my family.”
His eyes were on Janie’s stubby right wrist.
No matter how much she got used to living with one hand, in the end she can’t do it with two hands.
“And you will be able to continue your adventure by the side of Master Tigris. The person who will become the next head of the Wolf family.”
She held out enough carrots.
Then it was time to take up the whip.
“Mister Tigris doesn’t like to be rejected. If he refuses.”
Demeter quietly rose to life.
“Just know that it will be hard to find a body in the north, south, east and west.”
If there is no corpse, the amount of offering required for the Resurrection Seongbeop increases enormously.
For a low-ranking priest like Janey, it was like a declaration that he would definitely kill him.
And Janey took a deep breath.
It seemed like there was no choice.
However, I felt that I could make a strange choice.
It reminded me of Jason, who had appeared alone in the dungeon, covered in blood.
And he remembered what Jason had said before.
‘Look at the person.’
Excluding all conditions, the choice was clear when looking at Tigris and Jason.
Janie acted.
Survival was the first priority.
“Could you give me a little time to think about it?”
I was going to get out of Demeter’s presence and tell Jason about this.
It seemed that Jason would surely teach them how to keep both of them alive.
And Janie’s shallow tricks were all visible to Demeter.
“You’re thinking of reporting to Master Jason.”
“Yes?”
Janey was surprised to find out what was on her mind.
Demeter calmed her down.
“Do not worry. It was just a test for the head of the household.”
“Yes?”
“He told me to check in advance because there might be a traitor next to Master Jason. I apologize if you felt offended. It is the sole decision of the head of the household. Master Jason has nothing to do with it, so he has nothing against you in any case.”
Demeter gave Janie a pouch containing 100 gold as a token of her apology.
He knew that apples are better eaten with money.
He left Janey bewildered and came straight to her main house.
And he asked to see Jeffrey in the den.
“My lord. The test is over.”
“Okay. How is it?”
“I tried shaking it in various ways, but in the end, he was loyal to Master Jason.”
Haha!”
Jeffrey laughed out loud.
Finding someone you could trust was such a difficult task.
He himself had no believers in this family except one Demeter.
But his youngest son was doing it with ease.
“Yes. Just by looking at their attitude, it was as if they had been through life and death together for years. It is certain that no matter who tempts me, I will not be shaken.”
“Good good. Then, have a party with Jason’s men from time to time to boost morale. I mean give me strength.”
It is said that a superman can do anything alone, but there was nothing wrong with having many strong and loyal subordinates.
Geoffrey also benefited greatly from Demeter’s presence.
Jeffrey sat down in his chair, satisfied.
Every news his youngest son brought seemed to energize him.
