## Chapter 1314 – The Demon Race
Amidst the awkward conversation, my father-in-law wanted to hear about my strength. In this era, power is equivalent to economic might. The strength of his son-in-law was a very important matter.
I had already shown him my levitation, but he seemed to believe it was some kind of special effect of divine power.
“If it’s about my strength, I’m happy to tell you anything.”
There was no one more of an expert in this field than me. After all, I was going around smashing demon fleets; nothing was more fun than talking about strength.
ㅡClear Mind Like Still Water.
As I prepared to talk about the area I was most confident in, my restless heart calmed down with surprising speed. The anxiety and guilt dissipated. At this moment, I had returned to being Kim Kat, the transcendent demon.
Whatever happens, I can’t avoid the topic of the number of my wives.
It’s inevitable that these people will be hurt.
So, at least… I have to make them understand. Show them my strength properly. If I do that, they will eventually understand.
That’s all I have left.
Above all, I am Kim Kat, a transcendent being who can do anything he wants. My in-laws? Their remaining years are as good as guaranteed. It’s like winning the lottery.
That bastard Kopson is already guaranteed a key position just for being my friend. I’m not kidding. If I were to build a country, I’d give Kopson a seat.
So how could I not take care of my in-laws?
They only have comfortable days ahead of them.
I need to emphasize that as much as possible.
Ah, but is that bastard Kopson even alive? He’s not dead, is he? That’s something this Heavenly Demon Kim Kat can never allow. I should go check on him next time I have time.
ㅡFirmly.
Anyway.
I rolled up my sleeve, revealing my forearm.
And I placed it on the table.
“Please, ask me anything.”
“Hmm…”
My father-in-law stroked his beard as he looked at my bulging forearm.
“A very solid-looking arm. Your build and height, and the power I feel… you must be a warrior who has trained to the extreme.”
“Heh heh heh, that’s exactly right.”
I bared my teeth and gave him a trustworthy smile.
This Kim Kat is a warrior honed to the extreme.
“You said you work as a Paladin.”
“Yes.”
“I’d like to hear exactly what you do.”
“What part are you curious about? Actually, this job has some confidentiality, but I can tell you anything if it’s for my father-in-law.”
“If it’s confidential, you don’t need to tell me. I just… wanted to hear a little about what you usually do, that’s why I’m asking.”
That’s not difficult.
“What I mainly do is save the world.”
“Save the world? Ah. Because you’re a Paladin. I suppose that’s possible.”
“It’s not just possible, it’s what I actually do.”
My father-in-law nodded as if he understood. In that instant, I could read “trust” on his face. Surely, being a clergyman works well with older people.
“You probably know this too, Father-in-law. This world is full of heretics, demons, and monsters.”
“…”
I lowered my voice slightly as I spoke.
“Of course, I know.”
His attitude became serious.
My father-in-law nodded, now serious.
“It’s not uncommon for heretics to rise up. I’ve also obtained a lot of information that demons have been rampaging recently. And… even the demon race is invading…”
“What I mainly do is track down and destroy them.”
“Ah.”
“I have destroyed countless such beings so far.”
The important thing is to give him faith. A confident attitude and limitless self-assurance. And the power I possess. I will use these to win over even my father-in-law.
“I have fought in many battles. Battles where I cannot allow even a single defeat.”
“…Indeed. So that’s why you’re so strong.”
“That’s right. Those trials have made me strong. I have killed those monsters that threaten humanity.”
I stared into my father-in-law’s eyes.
Belief in me is now blossoming.
“And Liztina helped with that.”
“Wh-what?”
“Liztina helped.”
“Our daughter helped with that?”
“Yes.”
We have fought together.
“She’s good at fighting in the first place. So we have fought together.”
“Heh, heh… my goodness. I see…”
He seemed quite surprised, but he soon nodded as if he had understood.
“Hmm. That’s right. She’s capable of that. I see. So you’ve been fighting together.”
As a parent, he knows what kind of woman Liztina is.
“To think that my child was doing such good work.”
Soon, my father-in-law began to smile softly and feel satisfied. That’s right! Liztina has been killing the enemies of humanity with me! Of course, we didn’t do it alone! Nevertheless, as a parent, he can’t help but be very proud!
“She really grew up well. Ah, Son-in-law. But did our daughter… have a hard time with the work? It must be very difficult and dangerous.”
“On the contrary, she enjoyed it. She really liked smashing things.”
“No. Do you even know that much?”
He reacted as if surprised when I smiled and said that. He already knows that Liztina is quite two-faced. She pretends to be a lady, but her inner self is a warrior.
“Of course, I know everything. There’s nothing I don’t know.”
“Ha… heh. My goodness.”
My father-in-law continued to stroke his beard as he spoke.
“She always pretended to be docile, but… in fact, she had a very violent and headstrong side.”
“Heh heh heh, that’s right. I was surprised when I first saw it.”
“You can’t imagine how surprised I was every time she caused a murder.”
“Excuse me?”
“Ah, I say murder, but it was only when robbers or bandits caught her eye. She used to commit them from a young age.”
“Oh my. She was a complete prodigy, a prodigy. She showed her talent from a young age. You must have been very reassured.”
I laughed and agreed with him. The 라이벨벳 family is a noble family. They also run a trading company, so there must have been a lot of trouble.
“I was really reassured. She was probably the most… naturally talented in martial arts in our family.”
“I think so too.”
But they allowed her to be independent? No. Given Liztina’s personality, they couldn’t have stopped her from being independent.
“Anyway, I really like it. Liz’s violent side. I feel so reassured every time I see it. I could trust her with my back. Not only that, but she also taught me a lot of martial arts.”
“Martial arts? Even though you’re this strong?”
“Of course, I was weaker than Liz in the past. Thanks to her guidance… I was able to grow dramatically.”
“Heh heh, so that’s how you met? You learned martial arts, my goodness.”
“Liz is very good at teaching people.”
“Yes, yes. There was nothing our daughter couldn’t do. Heh heh.”
My father-in-law seemed to be getting happier and happier.
It was clear that his favorability towards me was soaring.
“I have no choice but to admit it, Son-in-law.”
“No. So you weren’t going to admit it? Heh heh heh, I almost got hurt.”
“It’s not that. I was just a little taken aback by how burly you are… and how you suddenly appeared. With a son-in-law like you, I can trust and entrust my daughter.”
“I will take responsibility for her for the rest of my life. Of course, the same goes for my father-in-law’s old age.”
“Those are good words to hear.”
My in-laws were really good people.
I could really feel how much they cared about Liztina. That’s what normal parents are like. Loving their children. Whatever happens, that’s where it starts.
So touching.
“…”
I was moved. Compared to these good people… my father was, frankly speaking, someone who couldn’t be called sane. I wonder what he’s doing these days. Even if he knew I was gone, he’d shake it off in just a few days. He’d probably live his life as usual.
Anyway, I felt really good talking to these people normally. Unlike 제니아’s or 카린’s dad, or 클라우디네’s dad or bastards like that, just mixing words with those bastards makes my face sour and my mood shitty.
I won’t associate with those bastards.
I have to take responsibility for these adults.
That is the Heavenly Demon Kim Kat.
The true guardian of fusion Confucianism.
“Anyway, I have one last thing I’m really curious about.”
“Yes. Please tell me.”
“Exactly how strong are you? I want to see your power properly.”
Here it comes.
“Are you talking about my specific power? My goodness. Of course, I have to tell you. I will tell you everything without any concealment, Father-in-law.”
“…”
He looked at me with a very interested gaze.
“I’ll tell you in advance, I’m very strong.”
“How strong are you to say such a thing?”
“The demon race’s fleets.”
I got straight to the point.
“A total of eight appeared. Do you know?”
“Eight?”
Not many people know this.
“I’m hearing that for the first time. So you have that kind of information because you’re a Paladin?”
“It’s not because I’m a Paladin. It’s because I’m me.”
“What does that mean?”
“Because I was the first to discover them.”
“Hoo… was that so?”
“And don’t be surprised. No. Be surprised. I destroyed four of them.”
I destroyed them.
“What?”
Of course, my father-in-law’s reaction was.
Just a freeze.
“…”
Silence descends.
It’s a story that’s hard to believe.
“Heh heh heh, our son-in-law is good at joking. Destroying those fleets. I think it’s great that you’re so confident.”
“I’m not joking, I’m serious.”
ㅡHwaaaaak.
I subtly unleashed my power. The white flames that smoldered out proved my words.
“What I’m focusing on right now is that. Destroying the demon race’s fleets.”
“…”
“I’m a Paladin, but I’m a being who can be called humanity’s only hero. I am currently saving this world from the demon race’s invasion.”
“Wh-what is that…”
Good.
The build-up has been done steadily.
After showing him the transcendent power to destroy the demon race’s fleets like this.
Then.
I’ll bow down and reveal that Liztina is my fifth woman. When you’re confused, there’s a higher chance you’ll be scolded less if you say confusing things. This is that important. His own daughter is a concubine, what’s the demon race? Anyone would go crazy.
“Actually, it wasn’t that difficult. Compared to this son-in-law’s power… the demon bastards are just children.”
ㅡFirmly.
I wrapped my raised fist in white flames. A destructive power poured out from the flickering flames.
“I have destroyed four so far. At that point, those guys stopped their activities. They’re probably reorganizing, but I took that opportunity to come and say hello. To check on my father-in-law and mother-in-law’s… condition. Liz told me to go.”
“…O-oh.”
My father-in-law could only open his mouth and couldn’t say anything.
Right then.
ㅡCreak.
The door on the first floor opened.
“Honey? Son-in-law? What are you doing standing there?”
Looking over, my mother-in-law had brought a tray of food. Servants followed her in a line. Was the cooking all done?
“Wow. It smells really delicious.”
“Ho ho ho, I’m confident in my cooking. Now, let’s talk more while we eat.”
“Yes.”
I left the frozen father-in-law behind and helped with the serving. I’ll talk a little more while eating, show him my power outside, and convince him.
Then, take a seat.
“Thank you for the meal.”
“Enjoy.”
I picked up the utensils.
“Huh? Son-in-law? What are you doing not eating? Eat a lot.”
Of course, eating the rice is.
“No. I can’t eat until my father-in-law and mother-in-law have taken a bite first.”
After the adults take a spoonful.
“Oh my goodness! Look at my mind!”
The spirit of Confucianism is burning.
