Loid who had also returned home was currently kneeling inside a massive room. There were no windows there, just tall metallic black walls and continually changed in shape. Loid didn't know what kind of metal it was but it was very strong. A long black carpet with massive rune patterns was laid on the ground. The air was fresh and the Mana very dense and a tall throne made from the same black metal was erected there.

On that throne was a person or rather an alien. He had huge big black eyes, taking up almost all the space of his face, two holes and a small mouth. He had a big triangular head, grey skin and the rest of his body couldn't be seen. If Nolan were here, he'd recognise this person as the typical alien from old Earth sci-fi and fiction movies and series. He was wearing a shiny black coat with very long collars.

Loid wasn't alone here but with his bodyguards and all of them were kneeling.

“Greetings Lord Father, your son has returned home and seeks an audience.” said Loid respectfully.

He could feel his father's heavy gaze on him, the gaze of the King of the Roan Kingdom, Ro Roan.

[Ah. So my most useless son has returned. I wonder what you came here for this time around. Money, toys or another chance as a Crown Prince Candidate perhaps?] spoke the man telepathically but unlike Loid's, his was imbued with Force and power, making Loid almost lose consciousness.

In fact, that was what he was aiming for but unexpectedly, this useless son of his hadn't lost consciousness like he usually did. It obviously wasn't the first time Loid had come here judging by his father's words but the man always spoke telepathically with Loid and he'd faint every time. Loid knew the reason why his father did this, he simply didn't like talking to him specifically.

After enduring the mental stress without fainting, Loid smiled and even raised his head and looked up without his father's permission.

“You misunderstand father. I didn't come here for all those things, I only came here to prove a thought that's been bugging my mind on my way here.” he said.

[And what is your conclusion?] Ro asked. Loid was then enveloped by an invisible power and rose high up in the air until he was face to face with his father.

‘Father's Psychic Abilities?!’ Loid was internally shocked because this was the first time something like this happened. It was also his first time in a long while seeing his father so up close. Loid directly made eye contact with his father and became dazed. Ro was unfazed by Loid's actions and even seemed to enjoy them because for a split second, he actually smiled.

Loid returned to his senses a few seconds later with his entire body drenched in sweat and his face pale.

“My conclusion is that my hypothesis was correct. That guy is indeed much more terrifying than you and mother!” said Loid with a smile so bright and genuine that Ro subconsciously pulled out his hand from under his shiny coat and stroked Loid's cheek.

Did you know this text is from a different site? Read the official version to support the creator.

“My son…” this time Ro spoke with his mouth. A soft voice sounded in Loid's ears, making him dazed once again as tears poured from his eyes. Loid seemed to be taken back to the past by this soft voice, unveiling old memories hidden deep in his mind.

“Father…”

…

Nolan woke up feeling fresh, the pain on his cheek long gone after a night's rest. Yesterday night, they actually didn't have to travel far to find a place to sleep.

Apart from the expensive hotels, there were also guest houses around the area and Nolan rented two rooms for a night. He slept on the bed while everyone else slept on the floor. Riri got her own room and slept peacefully.

Actually, Riri and Zaza were actually a married couple but since Nolan didn't ask, they never brought it up. Also, unlike humans who enjoy each other's company and love having sex, goblins didn't do any of that. The only time Zaza could fuck Riri was when she was in heat and it is also the only time that her current flat chest and ass would grow bigger and gain a more feminine body and appearance.

Currently, she looked no different from the other goblins. Nolan could tell her apart from the others only because she wore accessories made from bones, like her necklaces, bracelets, ankle laces and earrings.

This was the same for the other female goblins. This was why goblins kidnapped human females and raped them. It was to quickly grow the goblin population since humans didn't need to go into heat in order to reproduce. And once goblins could speak, their sexual desires were replaced with a great desire for strength and power unlike the weak goblins who could easily succumb to their sexual desires.

After the group took quick showers, they were ready to welcome the new day with open arms.

“Hey Meghan, request a ride to the Combat Zone for me. Don't forget to pay.” said Nolan to his Star Watch.

He'd named his A.I after a famous female celebrity crush who was absolutely gorgeous, Meghan Gud.

…

A hovercar came to pick them up. The trip to Combat Zone took around two hours to get there which Nolan hadn't expected. Not just that, Combat Zone was in the middle of the desert. A huge colosseum was built in the middle of the desert. Hovercrafts of all kinds were parked outside.

The group ignored the fancy hovercrafts and just went inside the colosseum where it was like a battle arena. There was an audience that was going crazy while watching the fights from below. Hundreds and thousands of people filled the fighting stage, giving it their all. There was a huge gate blocking the participants from leaving the arena once they entered.

As soon as they entered the colosseum, a holographic screen appeared in front of them and provided all relevant information about the Combat Zone.

As its name suggested, this was a place for one to hone their combat skills and combat experience. It didn't matter if you had neither because once you join, obtaining both combat skills and combat experience was only a matter of time. This place got only positive reviews by those who'd joined before and it was run by two people, brothers in fact, Kriss and Kross.

“Hegde, Edge. This is the place I've chosen for you to continue improving, don't let me down. As you are currently, you're completely useless to me since you absolutely don't know how to fight or how to use your strength efficiently. Become number one in this place and only then will you be my sword and shield. But for now, stay here. Also, you only have two more years to improve, after that, you'll spend most of your time fighting so don't waste this opportunity or my money!”

“We won't disappoint you!”

“I really hope you don't because in two years, I want to do something big and I'm gonna need the two of you as my right and left hand! Now go and show them who's boss!”
