"Buzz!"

As space trembled once more, Hadessta and the last remaining members returned to their long-lost homeland via the Teleportation Array.

Just as everyone was savoring the fresh air, which felt both familiar and strange, a shy yet expectant and nervous voice came from behind them.

"Uncle, Aunt, why are only you two back? Oh no... Where's Sordil? Why didn't he come back with you?"

Hearing the question, Hadessta and the others turned around to look at the Red-haired Woman behind them. Then, Hadessta asked in confusion, "Girl, who are you...?"

Upon seeing the five elders questioning Irene's identity, Heradi, who was standing to the side, hurriedly explained, "Lord Hadessta, this is the eldest brother's other wife, Irene Belserion!"

"Oh! So you're that brat's other wife. Well, your way of addressing me just now... something's not quite right!" (Wattster)

Looking at Wattster's beaming smile, Irene's face instantly turned bright red.

"Wattster, what are you doing! This is the first time the young girl has met us, she might not be able to change her way of addressing us right away, that's perfectly normal, why are you forcing her!" (Radel)

"Radel, you're wrong about that! If they weren't married yet, Wattster's words would indeed be inappropriate. But now they're married, and they even have a daughter. If he doesn't change his tune now, when will he?" (Woodman)

"Exactly! Even an ugly daughter-in-law has to meet her in-laws eventually, and she definitely needs to change her manner of speaking!" (Gilkunis)

"Alright! Can't you guys act like elders for once?!" (Hadessta)

After the group's AI spoke, Wattster and the others immediately stopped... oops! They shut up and handed over the reins of the matter to Ice Block. (This part is made up; I, Great Owl, have no experience in this area, so it's a bit poorly written. Please forgive me!)

"Irene, don't worry, the bad boy is saying goodbye to the Spirit King and will be back soon! (Hadessta)"

Although the controversy surrounding the change of address had subsided, Irene's inner turmoil had not yet subsided. Therefore, still in a shy posture, Her Majesty the Queen merely nodded slightly to indicate that she understood, without uttering a word. (The key point is that Her Majesty the Queen, in her shyness, was unable to utter a complete sentence; to maintain her image, she could only do so.)

Shortly after everyone finished their conversation, a buzzing sound came from behind them, followed by a crack in space, from which a silver-haired boy stepped out.

Looking at the strange atmosphere among the crowd, Old Suo asked curiously, "Huh? Why are you all standing here without moving?"

"What else can we do? Of course, we're waiting for you to introduce us to this beautiful redhead!" (Wattster)

Hearing his mother's strange tone, glancing at everyone's expressions, and combining that with the romantic drama tropes he'd gathered from his past life, Old Suo instantly realized the role he was playing. He quickly stepped forward and led Irene to his five parents, introducing her. "Father, Mother, this is your daughter-in-law, Irene Belserion!"

After introducing Irene to the five elders, Old Suo then introduced the five elders to Irene in turn.

"Irene, this is the man I mentioned to you before, the smartest of my five fathers, Father Hadessta!"

Upon hearing Old Suo's introduction, Hadessta gave Old Suo a "you're pretty good" look, then nodded at Irene with a broad smile.

With Old Suo as a middleman and a shield, and after the recent exercise, Irene regained much of her composure and rationality. So, she nodded shyly, and then, in Old Suo's tone, sweetly called him "Daddy Hadessta."

Seeing that the two had successfully made contact, Old Suo smiled and then continued with his work.

"Irene, this is none other than my best friend and the one who spoils me the most, Father Radel!" (Radel's reaction is similar to Hadessta's, so it will not be described in detail.)

After successfully changing her address the first time, Irene's shyness disappeared considerably, and she also became much bolder. Therefore, her answer this time was much more natural!

"Greetings, Father Radel!"

"That green-looking, talkative guy is Old Man Kirknes, and the tall, skinny one next to him is Old Man Woodman!"

After loudly introducing them, Old Suo whispered in Irene's ear, "These two are nice people, but they're too talkative, can't keep quiet, like to play pranks, and are also gluttons!"

Although Old Suo kept his voice very low, everyone standing there had excellent hearing, so Old Suo secrecy measures failed.

Upon hearing Old Suo's accurate assessment of Gilkunis and his companion, Hadessta and the other unrelated individuals lowered their heads and trembled, while Gilkunis and his companion, the parties involved, glared angrily at Old Suo with black lines on their foreheads. However, upon hearing Irene's sweet "Daddy," the two decided to postpone their plan to deal with the brat.

After the appetizers were finished, it was finally time for the main event! So, Old Suo cleared his throat and said, "Irene, the beautiful, intelligent, mature, generous, dignified, and elegant woman standing before you is my most beloved Mrs. Wattster!"

"Greetings, old lady Wattster!"

"Hey! Irene, don't follow this brat's example. Just call me 'Mom' or 'Mother' from now on, no need to add that other word!" (I've heard that no woman likes being described with that word, I wonder if that's true?)

"Yes, Mother Wattster!"

After the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law recognized each other, it was time for the charade to end. So, the extra, Suo, spoke up at the opportune moment, "Father, Mother, we've met everyone we needed to meet, and acknowledged all the relationships we needed to acknowledge. Shouldn't we go home now?"

Although Wattster was eager to meet her mysterious granddaughter, remembering Sordil's warning from the Spirit World, she had to abandon the idea and instead said, "Alright! I'd also like to see the results of all your hard work, you brat!"

After receiving Wattster's approval, the group marched in a large procession toward Philiers, which was not far away.

On July 30, X765, the Bosco Kingdom was officially renamed the Erus Kingdom.

On the same day, Red Townrus became the Prime Minister of the Erus Kingdom, while the former Prime Minister Charlie Townrus, was transferred to the newly created position of Minister of Education.

Furthermore, the Central Legion, which was originally responsible for the defense of Philiers, was disbanded and reorganized into thirteen units, each led by a newly appointed Palace Guardian Heavenly Kings. The defense of Philiers was then taken over by the newly formed Erus Legion.

On July 31st, thirteen Heavenly King Guard, led by thirteen Palace Guardian Heavenly Kings, set off towards the thirteen guilds within the kingdom.

Mage Guild, Red Sun Paradise

"Haha! That girl is so beautiful. If I weren't married, I would definitely pursue her!"

"You? Give me a break! Besides your sister-in-law, who else would want you?"

"Hey! How dare you talk like that? I'll get you drunk!"

"Come on! Who's afraid of who!"

When the two started drinking, the people around them cheered and applauded.

Just as the atmosphere in the room reached its peak, the door was suddenly kicked open, and a thin, dark-skinned man scrambled in.

"Haha! Lide, you've gone too far! You've exhausted yourself to this state!"

"Ha ha!"

The thin, dark-skinned man seemed oblivious to the jeers around him. He got up from the ground and headed straight for the bar in the center of the house.

Seeing the thin, dark-skinned man's unusual behavior, the group exchanged glances, then shook their heads with smiles and returned to their seats.

Unlike the others who remained indifferent, a bald, burly man standing behind the bar instantly realized something was wrong. So, he hurriedly stepped out from behind the bar to meet the thin, dark-skinned man.

"Lide, what happened?"

Hearing the voice beside him, the thin, dark-skinned man Lide, looked up at the bald man holding his head and said in a panic, "Boss, something bad has happened! The kingdom's army has surrounded our guild!"

"What?"

Just as the bald man began to doubt his own hearing, a loud shout pierced through the walls and exploded in the room.

"Listen up, you inside! You are surrounded by the Heavenly King Guard. Lay down your weapons immediately and come out for inspection. Otherwise, you will be treated as treasonous and executed without exception!"

Upon hearing this voice, both the drinkers and the onlookers were stunned.

After a while, everyone threw down their wine glasses and angrily cursed those ignorant fools outside.

"Boom!"

Just as things were getting heated, the door to the room suddenly burst open, and a bald, burly man dressed in green walked in.

"Since you refuse to surrender, then you've decided to resist! Humph! You've chosen the path to hell when there's a way to heaven!"

After saying that, the bald, burly man raised his right hand and shouted, "Dissolution!"

"Buzz!"

As the bald, burly man's voice faded, the room was filled with a bluish-green light.

When the bluish-green light disappeared, everyone was surprised to find themselves completely naked. Although they were all men, most of them still found it unacceptable to be naked in front of so many people. Therefore, most of the people in the room instinctively covered their private parts with their hands and sought reliable cover for themselves.

Just then, the bald giant moved around the room at the speed of light, and one Wudang Sect member after another fell down.

Three minutes later, the bald, burly man returned to the front door, but there was no one standing inside the room anymore.

Looking at the fruits of their labor scattered on the ground, the bald, burly man clicked his tongue and said, "Tch! What a bunch of weaklings. I don't know what use these guys have for that brat!"

After shaking his head with a smile, the bald, burly man shouted loudly towards the door, "Everything's taken care of inside, come in and tidy up!"

Upon hearing the bald, burly man's call, the prisoner porters guarding the door began their work.

Meanwhile, similar things were happening in twelve other locations—oops, sorry, I miscounted, it was eleven. Because before a certain Palace Guardian Heavenly Kings, a certain guild shamelessly surrendered en masse!
