If everyone becomes an adventurer, who will put in the effort themselves?

"Therefore, the bloodline technique is actually a very poor value for money, and normally I would not recommend that you use it."

"However, for you who already has impurities in your body, the safest solution now is to eat the fruit made with the same origin technique to avoid rejection."

"Considering that your lifespan is only three months due to the effects of the Bloodline Technique, even if you consume the Bloodline Fruit, your remaining lifespan is estimated to be no more than ten years."

At this moment, Sia, who was drawing blood from the vein, suddenly made a questioning sound.

"Ok?"

"What's wrong?" Lynn asked疑惑地, "There must be something else you haven't said since you don't live past ten years, right?"

"The portion is too small..." Sia looked at the fruit in her hand strangely. "There should normally be two, one Lynn and one Jake..."

"But now only Lynn's is left..."

"Does this mean that Jacken is also an imposter?" Lynn was greatly surprised. "That doesn't make sense. His resentment towards his inferior bloodline just now didn't seem fake!"

"Based on my forensic examination, he is indeed Jeken himself, and I also retrieved Jeken's personal records before I came here, so the possibility of him being switched is not high..."

As Sia said this, her expression suddenly turned strange:

"Really?"

"What can't you do?" Lynn asked, puzzled.

At this moment, Xia said with a very subtle expression, "I've only heard of this kind of situation in some romance novels."

"Forced to marry a man she didn't love, she chose to have an affair and have another man's child..."

Lynn's expression immediately became subtle:

"Does it have to be this melodramatic?"

So Jeken never had the Red Dragon bloodline?!

Also, why are there such toxic captions in isekai (another world) stories?

"This is troublesome. I guess we'll have to conduct a full bloodline investigation within the family."

"They actually kept it a secret for over forty years..."

Sia shook her head and then tossed the fruit in her hand to Lynn.

Lynn quickly reached out and caught it, then looked at Sia in surprise.

"You're just giving it to me like that? Aren't you afraid I'll go back on my word?"

Comparing 3 months to 10 years, Lynn isn't stupid; she'd definitely choose the latter.

As for bloodline issues, nothing is more important than life.

Lynn was puzzled because Sia had given him the fruit without any conditions.

"What are you afraid of me changing my mind about?"

Sia looked at Lynn with a puzzled expression:

"Even if you eat the Bloodline Fruit, you will only possess the red dragon bloodline of the Knightworth family."

"To truly unlock the power of the Red Dragon bloodline, specialized training and specific resource support are required."

"At present, only the Mona family and the Knightworth family can provide this support."

"If you eat the fruit, you will only have ten years left to live."

"To restore a normal lifespan, the Red Dragon bloodline needs to be cultivated to the equivalent of a level 30 skill."

“If you’re not an idiot, you should understand that once you’ve eaten the fruit, it’s not about regretting it anymore, it’s about whether or not you can live without your family’s support.”

Upon hearing this, Lynn immediately gave Sia a strange look:

“You just said…”

"Bloodlines are equivalent to skills?"

Upon hearing this, Xia looked at Lynn with a puzzled expression:

"I did say that, so what's wrong?"

"That's alright then."

Lynn casually tossed the fruit into her mouth and took a big bite!

A buzzing sound!

The skill system has been updated automatically!

[Skill: Red Dragon Body - Mastered!]

As the skill system took effect, Lynn couldn't help but smile.

Just as Lynn was feeling happy, Sia suddenly called out to him:

"Don't be too happy yet, there's something else that might make you even happier."

"Huh? What is it?" Lynn was taken aback. What could make him happier than solving the problem of a short life?

At this moment, Sia said with a serious expression:

"Because you are now almost in the same situation as Lynn Knightworth, plus Jeken's background."

"So, theoretically speaking, you are the only true direct descendant left in your branch of the Knightworth family."

Lynn was stunned when he heard this:

What do you mean by that?

At this moment, Sia gave Lynn a strange look, and said with a hint of eagerness:

"That means, from the perspective of inheritance rights, Jeken Knightworth's assets, and even the assets of Ruth Knightworth and Tanning Knightworth, will be taken back by the family and transferred to you, the rightful heir!"

"You should understand what I'm saying, right?"

Upon hearing this, Lynn paused for a moment, and after realizing what was happening, the smile on her face gradually turned grotesque.

If you put it that way, then I'm not sleepy anymore!!

Chapter 25 They moved into my house!!

Clang!

The iron cell door was pulled open, and the sudden change in light made Ruth, who had spent the night in the cell, squint.

At that moment, Cohen, dressed in a black military police uniform, stood outside the door and said expressionlessly:

Ruth Knightworth.

“Come out with me.”

Upon hearing this, Ruth's face lit up with joy: "Can I go out now?"

Cohen didn't answer, but walked in, took out his key, unlocked Ruth's handcuffs from the bed railing, and then made a gesture to walk away quickly.

As soon as the handcuffs were removed, Ruth couldn't wait to walk out of the cell and see the sunlit corridor and the military police guards.

"Finally... I'm finally out...."

As Cohen walked out of the cell, he looked at Ruth, who was weeping with joy, and his eyes held a hint of pity.

"Let's go, your family is waiting for you."

Upon hearing this, Rose, who had been weeping with joy, was now filled with anger:

"family?"

"Damn Jake, I'm not going to let him get away with this."

"And that mud-blooded bastard who got me imprisoned!!"

Seeing Ruth start grumbling, Cohen raised an eyebrow but said expressionlessly:

"I think you need to go back in and calm down."

As he spoke, he reopened the cell door that had been closed.

Ruth immediately hid to the side, lowered her head, and didn't dare to say another word.

Seeing this, Cohen was too lazy to say anything to her. Even because of some instructions from the city lord's mansion, his gaze towards Ruth still carried a hint of pity.

"Behave yourself now?"

"Behave yourself."

Cohen nodded upon hearing this, gesturing for Ruth to follow:

"Let's go then!"

Soon, Cohen led Ruth out of the temporary detention center and into the lobby of the military police headquarters.

Here, Ruth soon found her daughter, Tan Ning, with a slightly round face and freckles, waiting for her.

"Mom!" Tan Ning rushed over when she saw her mother come out. "The military police suddenly came to my friend's house earlier, saying that you and Dad went in and asking me to come and bail them out. What exactly happened?"

"Tan Ning, how come you're the one who bailed me out?" Ruth looked at Tan Ning in shock, then asked in astonishment, "Where's that Mudblood?"

"What Mudblood?" Tan Ning paused for a moment, then suddenly thought of Lynn: "You mean Lynn? What does this have to do with him?"

At this moment, Ruth gritted her teeth and said with a ferocious expression:

"How can it be that it's not a problem?"

"It was him and Jeken who got me in here!"

"what?"

Tan Ning was stunned when she heard this.

Did her father and Lynn, whom her father wanted to kill, team up to send her mother in?

Is this...is this reasonable?

At this moment, Ruth grumbled, "Damn Jaken! If he hadn't gone to the guild and been randomly posting duplicate adventurer quests, I wouldn't be here because of this!!"

"They say one thing to your face and another behind your back!!"

"When he was pursuing me, he didn't seem to have so many romantic entanglements."

"And then there's Lynn. He actually went to the Adventurers' Guild and accused us of quest fraud! Damn it, if he hadn't gone there, would I have even posted the quest at the guild?!"

Tan Ning gradually realized what was going on.

This means that after they posted the mission to find Lynn yesterday, Jacken posted another mission to find her, which gave Lynn a handle to use against her, resulting in her mother being thrown into the military police jail.

How can something so abstract exist?

Tan Ning was stunned for a moment, but after she came to her senses, she hurriedly asked about Jeken's whereabouts:

"Wait, if it's you who got arrested, Mom, then where's Dad? Where did he go?"

"Let him go wherever he wants! He'd better never come back!!"

Ruth, her face contorted with rage, said as if she were about to explode:

"If he hadn't seemed honest to me, would I have married him?"

"So many men were pursuing me back then. If it weren't for his powerful older sister and the fact that we were from the same clan, would I have even fallen for him?"

Tan Ning looked embarrassed upon hearing this. She was already familiar with this old-fashioned trope of "it's all my fault for marrying the wrong person".

"Where did Dad go?"

At this moment, Cohen, who had been watching for a while, suddenly said:

"Jacken Knightworth has been arrested in connection with a crime."

"Based on the timeline, you should have 18 hours to raise the money to bail him out."

Upon hearing this, Ruth's expression changed, and Tan Ning, who was standing next to her, also turned pale.

Clearly, both of them realized that this incident was a serious matter.

Cohen seemed oblivious to their reactions and continued:

"If you want to bail him out, you'd better go back and raise the money now."
