The Future Son-in-Law

Vice Admiral Verne knew his daughter's temperament, so he asked somewhat skeptically, "Are you sure he struck first?" Then he affectionately rubbed Miranda's head.

He then turned to Ye Feng and asked, "Kid, what's your name?"

Ye Feng was staring at Vice Admiral Verne as well. This should be one of the vice admirals who appeared in the Summit War from my previous life.

Although he had no particular impression of him, the long saber scar on his face was unforgettable to Ye Feng. He had once been one of the five vice admirals ordered by the Five Elders to carry out the Buster Call that destroyed Ohara.

When Vice Admiral Verne saw that Ye Feng had not answered, he grew a little angry and asked again, "Hey! Kid, what's your name?"

Hearing Vice Admiral Verne ask for his name again, Ye Feng replied, "My name is Ye Feng."

Vice Admiral Verne paused before asking, "Do you only have a given name and no surname?"

Ye Feng calmly nodded. "That's right. My parents were killed by pirates when I was three while they were away at sea on business. So I chose my own name. As for my surname, I forgot it."

Vice Admiral Verne and Miranda both looked at Ye Feng in surprise. They could hardly believe their ears, never expecting the calm Ye Feng to have such a tragic background.

Vice Admiral Verne looked at Ye Feng with some sympathy and said, "Would you like to join the Marines? I can take you as my disciple."

Ye Feng smiled. "Thank you, but no. I still have a five-year-old sister to take care of, so I'm sorry."

Just as Vice Admiral Verne was about to say something else, a sudden cry rang out. "Brother, where are you?" Ye Feng, Vice Admiral Verne, and Miranda all turned to look. Vice Admiral Verne saw a little girl about the same age as his daughter, holding a sword in her hand. That should be his little sister.

When Ye Feng saw Avril come in as well, he waved to her. "Avril, I'm over here."

Avril jogged over and said to Ye Feng, "Brother, my legs are sore from standing outside. What were you doing in here? Did you exchange the money? If you did, let's hurry out and eat. I'm starving to death."

Ye Feng said helplessly, "I didn't expect this place to be so big, so I got lost. I couldn't find it."

Avril knew her brother had a poor sense of direction, so she believed him.

At that moment, Vice Admiral Verne looked at Avril and confirmed that she was the little sister Ye Feng had mentioned. "The two of you can join the Marines together."

Hearing that there were two people standing beside her brother, Avril asked, "Who are you?"

Miranda suddenly jumped down from Vice Admiral Verne's arms. "This is my father, Vice Admiral Verne of Marine Headquarters."

Then she added, "My name is Miranda. What's yours?"

Avril paused before replying, "Hello! My name is Avril."

Only then did Vice Admiral Verne react. He looked at Ye Feng in disbelief and asked, "Could it be that you two are pirate hunters?"

Ye Feng nodded. "That's right. Oh, and there's this." He removed the bloody bag from his waist and handed it to Vice Admiral Verne.

He continued, "This is the head of Gral, captain of the Hungry Wolf Pirates. Take a look."

Vice Admiral Verne took the bag Ye Feng handed over. Upon opening it, he found a human head inside. After examining it several times, he confirmed that it was indeed the head of Gral, captain of the Hungry Wolf Pirates.

He stared at Ye Feng in disbelief and asked seriously, "Are you sure you killed him?"

Ye Feng nodded. "That's right. I killed him. What's wrong? Is there a problem?"

Still somewhat unable to believe it, Vice Admiral Verne looked at Ye Feng and said, "Come with me for a moment." Then he headed toward the Marine base's training grounds.

Ye Feng answered, "Sure," and the three children followed Vice Admiral Verne out.

When they reached the Marine base's training grounds, they found a massive circular arena. Upon seeing Vice Admiral Verne, the people there saluted and said, "Greetings, Vice Admiral Verne!"
