The Strongest Urban Son-in-law

Chapter 1241: Chapter 1258: Questioning

Herland knew how disappointed his father was at this moment, which represented how much hope his father had once held for him. The greater the hope, the greater the disappointment, causing Herland to feel severe heartache.

Clyde said, ”Herland, you’ve disappointed me greatly. I’ve always believed that your talent would return, that you remain the future star of our Jin family. But I didn’t expect you to be so ignorant, associating with all sorts of people, utterly ruining your prospects. Do you really want me to believe that ’birds of a feather flock together’?”

Herland instantly grew anxious: ”Father, it’s not like that. Ye Feng is not as simple as he appears on the surface. He...”

”Enough! Don’t say more. What about those two? Don’t you know they’re under your third uncle? You actually forced them like this and broke their limbs. If they didn’t consider you as my son, do you think you could have defeated them? You would’ve been killed already; you know that? They refrained only because of me, and yet you went overboard. You fail to see your own capabilities. Herland, you’re such a disappointment!”

Herland became anxious again: ”No, father, I defeated them with my own skills...”

”Smack!” Before Herland could finish speaking, Clyde slapped him heavily across the face, the stinging sensation continuously assailing him, causing Herland to feel intense pain.

Clyde glared at Herland angrily: ”You’re still making excuses! With your strength at a level four Spiritual Practitioner, you could defeat those two? Herland, I always thought you were an honest child, but now you’ve learned to lie and deceive. You’ve learned this from your dubious friends, haven’t you, ruining your future. Herland, I’m truly disappointed in you...”

Herland, on the verge of tears, cried out: ”Father, I really defeated them. I’m not useless anymore. I’m already a level two Spirit King. They’re not my match at all. I’m not lying to you.”

”Enough!” Clyde shouted, his eyes blazing with fury, ”You’re still lying! A month ago, you were only a level four Spiritual Practitioner, and now you’re a level two Spirit King? You think I’m an idiot? Even the most talented individuals in the Heavenly Demon World couldn’t possibly advance through so many levels in such a short time. Do you think I’m a fool?”

Herland’s grievances caused tears to well in his eyes, uncertain how to explain.

”It’s so pathetic; even a father doesn’t believe his own son’s words. Why did you bring him into the world then? You don’t understand your son at all, nor do you try to understand. You really failed as a father...” Ye Feng stood nearby and suddenly spoke.

Upon Ye Feng’s words, Clyde furrowed his brow and looked at Ye Feng: ”Boy, are you saying that you understand Herland better than me?” Ye Feng nodded calmly and replied, ”At least for now...”

”Absurd! My own son, how would I not know what he’s like? You better shut up. I don’t want to argue with you. How I am is none of your concern, let alone a useless person without awakened superpowers like you, you’re not qualified to evaluate!” Clyde shouted loudly.

Herland anxiously looked at Clyde: ”Father, Ye Feng is really powerful, you don’t understand...”

”Shut up! Herland, I’m too disappointed. I once harbored the last shred of hope. Forget it, I won’t pay the entrance fee for the Divine Domain Superpower Academy the day after tomorrow. Even if I do, you won’t pass the exam. I shouldn’t have any expectations for you. Don’t say anything, stay home quietly, I’m tired...” Clyde waved his hand helplessly.

Desperation immediately overwhelmed Herland. He was still hoping to make a remarkable impact at the exam the day after tomorrow.

It’s important to note that the entrance fee for the Divine Domain Superpower Academy is exorbitant; ordinary people simply can’t afford it.

Tears streamed down Herland’s face as he shouted loudly, ”Father, please believe me, I really...”

”Shut up! I’m tired. Don’t talk to me, don’t call me father, you’re not worthy! One last piece of advice, stop associating with those dubious guys, don’t delay yourself...” With that, Clyde left.

At this moment, Herland’s eyes revealed a look of despair. He never expected that his father simply did not believe him.

Originally, Herland had thought that once his father saw his true abilities and realized he wasn’t useless, he would feel proud of him. He was still hoping to make a remarkable impact in the upcoming exam.

But now, Herland knew he had no hope left, his eyes turned dull, and he appeared utterly dejected. Ye Feng looked at Herland and said, ”What, are you giving up just like that? Your rapid progress in such a short time is indeed hard to believe, but the exam hasn’t started yet. Isn’t it too soon to give up now?”

Herland’s eyes revealed a sense of helplessness: ”Ye Feng, it’s not that I’m giving up too soon. I know as long as my abilities are there, I can ultimately prove to everyone that I’m not useless. But I initially planned to prove it during the exam the day after tomorrow. Now, without my father helping me pay the entrance fee, I can’t participate in the exam at all!”

Upon hearing Herland’s words, Ye Feng smiled slightly, finding the problem troubling Herland surprisingly simple.

Ye Feng asked casually, ”How much is the entrance fee for the exam? I’ll take care of it for you...”

Herland, feeling helpless, said, ”Ye Feng, the entrance fee for the Divine Domain Superpower Academy exam is essentially like tuition, so it’s very high, requiring a thousand mid-grade Spirit Stones. Where could I possibly find so many Spirit Stones in such a short time? A thousand mid-grade Spirit Stones is likely difficult even for you, Ye Feng, you just focus on your own affairs...”

It’s crucial to know that, even in the Heavenly Demon World, a thousand mid-grade Spirit Stones isn’t a small amount, especially since this isn’t the Divine Domain.

Even the entire Jin family, one of the three major families in Monde City, has only tens of thousands of mid-grade Spirit Stones available. Herland’s father possesses assets of only about ten thousand mid-grade Spirit Stones, so a thousand for a sixteen-year-old like Herland is absolutely a sky-high price.
