With Klaus’s male friends currently engaged in their own activities, he left Ross City with his mom, his sister, and his women.
Ohema, the rich and mysterious mogul, brought her jet, which, to Klaus’s shock, was large enough for all seven of them. Little did he know she had bought it overnight just for the trip.
They landed in Felin City a little over 30 minutes later. A car was waiting to pick them up and take them to one of the many mansions owned by the Felin Great Family. Lily had already called her parents to inform them.
They settled in and decided to spend the night there. The next day, they visited Lily’s family, spending several hours there. Since they were on vacation, and the place was quite attractive, they lingered and enjoyed their time.
Klaus finally met his mother-in-law, Grace Felin, who instantly fell in love with him; Klaus’s charm was simply too irresistible.
The usual coldness some in-laws show was absent for Klaus and his family.
Both Klaus and his mom were too endearing for anyone to dislike. This was especially true for his mom, who became best friends with Lily’s mother after just a few hours of interaction.
They even made plans for a girls’ outing sometime soon. By the time they left, the entire Felin household could only sing their praises. The Hanson family was just too charming, like little kittens that no one could ever dislike.
After returning to their lodge, they spent the sunset together until after it turned 6:30. Klaus then decided it was time to put into motion what he and Hanna had really come to do.
“Mom, Hanna, and I are going out for a brother-and-sister bonding session. I think it’s high time we bonded over a night stroll,” Klaus said, pulling Hanna away from his mom’s side. The young lady just never left her side and stayed in her brother’s arms.
“I think it’s a good idea. You two need some time to bond,” she said with a smile. “Just make sure anyone who looks at my little diamond funny sees no more” she added, still smiling.
Everyone turned to look at her with expressions that seemed to say, Really? Klaus had noticed some changes in his mom recently, so although he was surprised by her comment, he didn’t react much.
She is still the same caring woman from the slum, however, she now doesn’t shy away from most of the things Klaus does.
“Don’t worry, Mom. Nobody will get the chance,” Klaus said, wrapping his arm around Hanna’s waist, a smile on his face. Hanna just looked at him and shook her head, completely unaffected.
“You, take your hand off her waist. I don’t want you seducing her,” his mom said.
“What? Weren’t you the one who said I should make sure nobody has any lustful gazes at her? Me by her side as the boyfriend would solve that. You know I don’t like violence,” Klaus said with a smile.
Everyone looked at him as if to say, Really? Weren’t you the one exploding heads just a few days ago? But alas, he was a monk—of course, he hated violence.
“Tsk, just go and have fun,” his mom said, waving them off. They left with Klaus’s arm still around Hanna’s waist. She just went along, even placing her hand around his shoulder, perhaps to tease their mother.
“This rascal; he’s going to pollute my baby girl,” his mom muttered, but as always, a smile played on her face. After Klaus and Hanna had left the house, she turned to the ladies beside her.
“Do you think she’ll be alright after getting her revenge?” she asked, revealing that she, too, understood the real reason behind the trip and fully supported it. She couldn’t stand to see Hanna in such a broken state.
“She will. If she doesn’t go through with it, her path will be littered with obstacles. Without her revenge, she’ll never truly be at peace,” Miriam said.
Though she doesn’t need to seek revenge on anyone, her path had been similarly rocky until she met Klaus and opened up. Now, her heart was finally finding peace, or at least moving in that direction.
“I hope so. Whoever she lost, she seems to miss them dearly,” Klaus’s mom said, sounding like the concerned mother she was.
“Don’t worry, Mother. Hanna is a strong lady; she’ll be alright,” Anna said, bringing a small smile to her mother-in-law’s face. She nodded, and with a broad smile, she asked the four ladies,
“How’s your sex life? Everything going well?”
Miriam, Ohema, Lily, and Anna’s cheeks immediately turned pink at her question. The woman was just too shameless—maybe even more so than her son.
Though they could all easily overpower her, they knew their mother-in-law meant business, so they could only go with the flow. While Klaus and Hanna were out seeking revenge, the four ladies found themselves at home, discussing their sex lives with their mother-in-law as if it were the most normal thing in the world.

Klaus, who had just left the mansion with Hanna, began making their way east. Along the way, Klaus asked,
“You’re really not affected by my charm—not even in the slightest?”
“Not really. For some reason, I just don’t feel that kind of affection toward you,” she replied without the slightest hint of bashfulness.
“How interesting. This, of course, makes me wonder if I’m just not handsome enough,” Klaus joked, making Hanna smile slightly. Klaus knew the real reason, but until she had her revenge, he wouldn’t tease her about it.
They passed by many places, and thanks to their disguises, nobody recognized them. Soon, they entered a coffee shop, where they lingered for a few minutes.
“Why are we here, little bro? We could just take the service road at the bridge junction; it would lead us through the blind spot and bring us closer to their hideout,” Hanna asked.
“Wow, you really did your homework, huh?” Klaus replied, impressed by her attention to detail. It seemed Hanna had been planning her revenge for some time now.
“You have no idea what they took from me. Even if it was the last thing I did, I would get my revenge. In fact, if I hadn’t met you in the Ruin City Forbidden Zone that time, I would have been long dead by now.”
“Oh, really?” Klaus raised an eyebrow.
“Yes. I was planning on getting my revenge back then, but after spending some time with you and the others, I had to postpone it. I wasn’t even planning on walking out alive,” she said with a determined look.
“Well, it’s good that you gathered the courage to approach me back then. It would have been a pity if I never got to know you in this lifetime,” Klaus said with a small smile. Hanna nodded; she was also glad she had met him.
“Alright, let’s go,” Klaus said after a while.
“Lil bro, why are we walking straight? Shouldn’t we be avoiding the cameras?”
“They’ve been taken care of,” Klaus replied. As a spirit master with a sensing range of 40 kilometers, he was able to disable the cameras long before they even entered the coffee shop.
“Then shouldn’t we sneak up on them?” Hanna asked again.
“No need. We’re walking right through their front door. Lighten up, sister, because today, you’ll look your enemies in the eye and kill them, making sure they know what they took from you,” Klaus said, and Hanna’s grip tightened.
Soon, a house came into view, situated closer to the edge of the city. It was the dwelling of The Gilded Fangs Mercenary Group.
