Chapter 692: Where Is the Blade? Where Is My 80-Meter-Long Greatsword?

The mere thought of having a daughter soon had Noah Grant grinning from ear to ear. Right then, his wife shot him a glance and whispered, “Your daughter is married. She has a Taoist Companion.”

Those words were like a bucket of ice water dumped over his head, chilling him to the bone. His daughter didn’t even exist yet, but some random bastard had already made off with her—lock, stock, and barrel!

What an absolute tragedy!

Noah took a step back. He pointed a trembling finger at Javier Sinclair, his face a picture of sheer disbelief. “You… you’re saying you’re my son-in-law… my future son-in-law?”

Javier gave a slight nod. “Yes, Father-in-law. I am your son-in-law. You might find it hard to believe, but it is the truth.”

Noah gave him a long look and said, “I believe you.”

He truly meant it. A sudden realization had dawned on him. Earlier, Javier had mentioned the Seal in his wife’s bloodline—and it sounded exactly like the algebraic function sealing method Noah had recently developed. He had found it strange at the time, but now it all made perfect sense. The unseen fellow earthling wasn’t just a fellow earthling; she was his own flesh and blood.

Elara Eastwood nodded in agreement. “I believe you too. My intuition tells me to. I sense a very familiar aura from you—something so comforting that it made me feel we were always meant to be family. Hearing you say this, everything falls into place.”

Javier looked at them, genuinely surprised. They believed him just like that? There was no suspicion, no assumption of ulterior motives. “You believe me,” he said.

Noah nodded slightly. “Why wouldn’t I? I used to believe in science, but now I’m standing at the very end of it. So what’s impossible? Don’t underestimate me; I have a very stable mindset and am highly adaptable.

“Traversing the river of time sounds impossible, sure, but it’s not absolute. After all, I transmigrated here from Earth. Nothing is truly impossible.”

Elara nodded gently. “Take me, for example. While I cannot traverse the river of time like you, I have grasped the Power of Space-Time Law, allowing me to travel anywhere. So, what you claim is entirely feasible.”

Javier met their gazes. “Father-in-law, Mother-in-law, thank you for believing me.”

Noah stared him down. “Now I only have one question. In the future, you’re really with my daughter? You even became her Taoist Companion? And… you have two kids together.” He practically ground his teeth into dust on the last sentence.

It wasn’t just him; Elara was glaring at him too. At that moment, his parents-in-law were looking at him as if he were a damned thief who had robbed them blind.

Javier gave a polite nod. “Yes, your daughter and I are already together. I hope you will give us your blessing.”

Hearing this, Noah finally snapped.

He had been thrilled to know he’d have a daughter in the future, of course, but now that joy was thoroughly tainted. His sweet, precious daughter didn’t even exist yet, and she was already targeted by this damned bastard! No… she was already married off. And what pushed him over the edge was that his daughter had two kids with this punk!

Two children! She gave birth to two children! Good heavens, what kind of life was his daughter living?! Raising kids was exhausting, and giving birth was pure agony! She had suffered so much! Just the thought of it made his heart ache.

“Ahhh! Heavens! What a disaster!” Noah wailed. “Where’s my blade?! Where did I put my eighty-meter-long broadsword?!”

Beside him, Elara reached out and silently handed him a massive broadsword. “Here you go.”

Javier was stunned. Hadn’t they just said they believed him? Why was his father-in-law pulling out a broadsword? Javier was utterly speechless.

“Good, good, good! We’ve only known each other for a day, but you’ve really opened my eyes!” Noah fumed. “I treat you like a brother, and you try to be my son-in-law! Speak! Tell me how you tricked my daughter! What kind of sweet nothings did you use to coax her away?! Take this, you damn punk!”

Javier took a step back and raised his hands. “Father-in-law, let’s talk this out calmly. Why don’t you put the blade down first? I’m afraid you might hurt yourself.”

Being hacked at was a trivial matter. But if the blade’s edge rolled and ended up hurting his father-in-law, that would be bad. He wondered whether he should stand perfectly still or run away.

Gnashing his teeth, Noah swung the broadsword straight at him. Sparks flew in all directions. The impact jarred Noah’s joints, leaving his hands numb—and him somewhat astonished.

Was this guy—no, this kid—using cheat codes? Noah’s blade was no ordinary weapon. He had only intended to swing it to vent his frustrations. Actually hurting the guy was out of the question; even if he held a grudge, this was his daughter’s husband. He’d pull his punches. He couldn’t exactly leave his daughter a widow, right?

However, pulling punches was one thing; genuinely wanting to beat the crap out of him was another. Who wouldn’t be furious finding out their unborn daughter was already married off? It was enough to ruin anyone’s mood.

“Take this, you punk!” he shouted. “That’s for tricking my sweet daughter!”

He brandished the broadsword, unleashing a flurry of strikes on Javier, the blows growing progressively heavier.

“Father-in-law…” Javier tried to interrupt.

“Back off! Who’s your father-in-law?! You damn punk!” Noah roared. “You old fart! You’re thousands of years old, and you dare covet my daughter?! Don’t think just because of that face… that completely average face of yours, you can have her! Speak, who the hell do you think you are? You’ve got a lot of nerve! Did you even ask for my permission before marrying her?!”

He truly hadn’t. But wasn’t that exactly what he was doing now? Seeking his father-in-law’s approval?

“Father-in-law—”

“Don’t call me that! I’m not your father-in-law! To think I treated you like a brother and even wanted to swear a blood oath to share our fortunes! And what do you do? You stab me right in the back!”

Noah sized Javier up, his gaze eventually landing on the man’s face. He thought, “Oh, damn it, the lighting must be too strong.” He actually caught himself thinking this bastard had the otherworldly looks of a deity. Noah vehemently assured himself that he definitely wasn’t the superficial type. His daughter surely wasn’t that shallow, either; she couldn’t possibly be with Javier just for his looks. She must have been utterly bamboozled by his sweet talk!

“I am the sworn enemy of all punks!” Noah declared.

He brought the blade down hard on Javier’s shoulder. Let alone dealing a single point of damage, the strike didn’t even scratch the man’s skin. Instead, the top-tier Magic Treasure broadsword in Noah’s hands cracked.

His arms were numb. He was exhausted. He wondered who exactly was being tortured here.

Still, all that hacking had helped him vent his anger. He casually tossed the broken blade onto the ground. “What a piece of junk. The quality is terrible. I’m filing a complaint.”

Javier helpfully suggested, “Father-in-law, why don’t you grab a different one and keep hacking?” It was really his own fault. His immortal, imperishable flesh couldn’t suffer so much as a scratch, ending up exhausting his father-in-law instead.

He was being completely sincere. However, Noah just scoffed. “I suspect you’re mocking me.”

Javier frantically waved his hands. “No, absolutely not.”

To think that he, the great and mighty Demon God, would actually feel nervous facing his father-in-law.
