Chapter 548: Life Must Go On

"It's time to visit your family, Abby." Minos said at the side of his girlfriend's left ear as he hugged the slender waist of this young woman, who was naked on top of him.

Hearing this, this young woman's little sister suddenly pressed even harder on young Stuart's rod while she was already looking steadily into his eyes. 'Perhaps he will take the opportunity to ask me to marry him?' She thought about it a little embarrassed and anxious.

It was evident that she understood what Minos' purpose was in wanting to meet her parents at this time. After all, with everything that had happened, it was only a matter of weeks before news of the Dry City's change reached the upper echelons of the local noble families!

Therefore, she understood perfectly well that Minos wanted to deal with more pressing matters on this visit. But that didn't stop her from thinking about these other possibilities...

That is because no matter what problems came their way, life had to go on. How terrible would the world be if people stopped fulfilling their responsibilities or living their lives just because they might die?

As far as this young woman knew, even Gods would eventually die. In this case, there was no reason for her not to think about tomorrow, despite the risks of her eventual death happening sooner than expected!

If she died, well, it would be a pity for herself and far worse for those who loved her and stayed alive. But if she stopped planning her future just because of that possibility, then if she were to live, what she would have after that would be a loss of years, or at worst, the loss of her entire life!

So, this young woman couldn't help but think about her future with Minos, despite the problems surrounding them at the moment.

Furthermore, as a person in love and who already understood that her lover had these feelings for her too, Abby couldn't help but fantasize about her marriage to Minos!

Anyway, after thinking about it with a certain redness on her face, she felt her partner's rod leave her cave as she looked into Minos' eyes. Of course, she wasn't going to say anything to him about those thoughts at the moment. Still, this young man meeting her parents would be a big step for her. So she couldn't help but be pleased to hear that from him. "Excellent! When do we leave?"

Seeing the smile on his girlfriend's face, Minos smiled for a moment, realizing some of the ideas that must have been going through Abby's mind.

He hadn't thought about marriage, but he knew that formally meeting her parents as her boyfriend was an essential step for any couple.

But he soon put those thoughts to rest. "Let's wait for three days. Then, if none of those soldiers from the third group returned, I will give the orders for an investigation group to resolve this while we travel to your family city."

"All right. But how long are we going to be there?" She asked, still with an expression of happiness on her beautiful face.

"Not much. The round trip there using Ruth's eagle should take around ten days. In that case, we can't stay there for more than four days, or we might not return in time to face the possible problems concerning those three enemies." Minos replied seriously.

These numbers were not random. In fact, he'd thought about it a lot before realizing that he wouldn't have the opportunity to visit Abby's family in the future as easily as he could now.

That's because, in the future, that family could already be against the Black Plain, something that would make any kind of agreement between the parties difficult. But, on the other hand, the Miller family didn't know anything about the Dry City at the time and might be more open to possible deals with Minos.

Consequently, this trip had to happen as soon as possible, or Minos might forget to eliminate the Miller family from his list of potential enemies!

It was just a shame that Abby hadn't reached level 50 yet... Otherwise, it could have been done much more quickly, as it should be if they were to follow the original plan. But anyway, that was life.

Now that the milk had been spilled, he had to adapt to the new reality!

And as for the numbers said by Minos, that was obvious considering the positions of the headquarters of the noble powers closest to the Dry City.

Under normal conditions, specialists of these powers could reach the Dry City in less time from their respective territories. But that would only happen to those few who used high-level beasts—the beasts at the 5th stage.

However, there weren't many beasts like that in the regional noble families!

Consequently, it would be difficult for a large group to reach the Dry City in a short time. In fact, it would be most expected that such a thing would not happen within the next two or three weeks, which was the time needed to make these same trips on 4th and 3rd stage beasts, the ones typically used in situations like this.

Only after this interval could the consequences of this recent incident reach the Dry City. And from then on, such a thing could happen any day!

As for the possibility of an expert coming alone or in a small group to the Dry City, that was extremely unlikely. After all, this would involve considerable risk, given the tremendous changes this place had gone through.

But on top of that, Minos also had the Gill family problem to deal with, something that could lure enemies into his town at any moment. Because of all that, he didn't want to be away from the Dry City for more than two weeks!

Anyway, after hearing her boyfriend's response, Abby nodded in agreement at him. She understood much better than him the geography and political positions of local noble families. Hence, considering the current context, she understood that this was the most time they could be out of the Dry City.

And for her, that would be more than enough!

"Well, I just hope the elders in my family aren't too shortsighted..." She said with an uncertain expression, already with an apologetic look at Minos.

Making decisions was not easy, and sometimes more experienced individuals would prefer not to risk too much when negotiating with very new parties, organizations without a strong background, in situations that could involve great dangers. Therefore, this young woman was afraid that things would go wrong on this trip and her family would not come to an agreement with Minos.

Minos then massaged Abby's left cheek and said softly. "I expect the same… But if they disagree, I can bring your parents here. That's what worries you the most, right?"

"Hmmm." Abby agreed with him as she closed her eyes and felt her boyfriend's touch. She then said. "If they give an excuse that they're going away on business, it shouldn't be hard for them to get out of there."

"But I hope this isn't necessary..."

After that, the two continued to talk about matters relating to this trip to the Miller family headquarters.

Minos did not expect to reach an agreement with the Miller family in which such power would become their known ally, which could turn the entire kingdom's forces against such power. Instead, the goal of this young ruler was to make his girlfriend's family have a secret relationship with the Black Plain. At the same time, on the surface, it would appear to be with the other noble families against his territory.

It wouldn't be easy for him to achieve something like this. But as long as that power acted in secret to not harm the Black Plain, even if they didn't help, that would be enough for this young man not to consider them enemies.

As for if it went wrong, well, if they attacked him, then they should be prepared to face an extremely merciless opponent.

Noble families were large, and there was usually no significantly great feeling from one noble to another unless they were closely related.  Thus, young Stuart would not bother to deal with the Miller family, even though his girlfriend was a descendant of such power!
