Chapter 15: Son-in-Law
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Sonia’s husband, Jack, was not from Winterfrost but had fled to this place three years ago in the winter. It was freezing outside, and Jack had fled to this place alone. When he could no longer walk, he hid outside Sonia’s clothing store to escape from the snow and the wind. When Sonia found him, he was almost frozen.
After Sonia’s rescue, Jack came back to life, and she learnt that Jack had no place to go. If he had no place to stay, Jack definitely would not be able to survive that winter, so Sonia let Jack stay in the clothing store to help out. She did not expect Jack to be so talented in business. Ever since Jack came to the clothing store, their business had improved by twenty to thirty percent. This made Sonia value Jack even more.
Moreover, Jack was tall and handsome, and he had a sense of humor. Soon, the two of them fell in love with each other and became husband and wife.
However, this matter made the head of the family, Norton, unhappy. Norton had his own plans for Sonia’s marriage, which was to form a marriage alliance to enable the Nicholas family clan to gain a firm foothold in Winterfrost.
However, before he could suggest it, Sonia had already decided on her marriage, and the husband she chose was a poor man who had fled here. This did not benefit her family clan at all. Norton naturally did not like him. After failing to persuade Sonia, he allowed them to get married eventually. However, Norton had not treated his poor son-in-law well.
Jack was also a very smart person. He knew naturally that he was not liked by his father-in-law, so he had always been very well-behaved and would not do anything overboard. He was even a little too cautious, and when Sonia, who loved Jack deeply, saw this, it made her feel very sorry for her husband.
“Honey, I’m going to the clothing store. Business is very good today. I can’t delay further,” Jack said after he had sent Sonia back home.
Sonia pulled Jack back and said, “Honey, let’s take a day off today. I have something more important to tell you.”
“Ah? What is this matter? More important than the clothing store business?” Jack said, puzzled.
“It is certainly important. Let me show you something first.”
Although the clothing store’s business had been good, when compared to the new soap business, the latter was of a different class altogether because soap was a novel product never seen before. If they could make it, it would be an exclusive business.
Immediately, Sonia took out the method for soap-making. Jack took a look at it and saw that there was only the method of soap-making but it had not explained the use of soap.
“Soap? What is this?” Jack asked suspiciously.
“This is a daily necessity!”
Sonia explained the use of the soap. Jack was a talented businessman, even better than Sonia. After listening to Sonia’s introduction, his eyes lit up and he said, “If it’s really as you have said, we will definitely make a lot of money from making this soap!”
“Of course!” Sonia said as she put her arms around Jack’s neck and said affectionately, “Honey, do you know that Father told me at the meeting today? He said he wanted you to do this together with me.”
“Ah? Honey, is what you said true? Has Father really said that?” Jack said in disbelief after hearing this.
Sonia said, “Of course this is true. Otherwise, how would I dare to show you the method to make such an important soap? Father has truly accepted you!”
“That’s great, Sonia. Don’t worry, I’ll definitely help you,” Jack said excitedly, his face reddened. Then, he said, “By the way, I have to go and thank my Father Lord for finally accepting me as a member of this family.” After saying this, he was about to go and thank Norton.
Sonia quickly stopped him and said, “Honey, don’t go now. Father must be meditating right now. Let’s not disturb him. Let’s think about how to operate the soap business. If we could make money, Father would be happy.”
“Yes, Honey, you’re right.”
In the few days that followed, everyone in the Nicholas family clan became busier, but all this was due to good happenings. Their teahouse had introduced new tea leaves, which tasted great. After drinking the new tea, many people could no longer drink other types of tea. Hence, there were people queuing up every day to buy the new tea. This had made the teahouse business extremely brisk.
It was the same for the clothing store. Overall, although they were busier and more tired than before, everyone was happy to see so much revenue daily. They saw hope for their days ahead.
Some core members of the family clan had also received the higher tier cultivation techniques. Every day, they were busy studying, cultivating, and striving to improve their current strength as soon as possible. They had been intimidated by the Grimm and Campbell family clans previously, but now that they had received the higher tier cultivation techniques, they were especially diligent and hardworking in their cultivation.
Sonia and Jack, on the other hand, had already succeeded in their attempt to make the first piece of soap. After using it, they were very happy with the effects they saw. They were even more certain that they could make a lot of money from it. Then, they started to make preparations to build the factory. Once the factory was ready, they would be able to mass produce the soaps.
And they had not forgotten the most important thing, which was to pay respects to their ancestors every day.
After all, this had already become the family-clan rule, so everyone had to pay their respects even if they were unwilling. As such, Romo had a stable income of more than 2,000 Faith Points every day.
The person who gave Romo the most comfort was the family head, Norton. Ever since he had received the Wave Meditation Technique, other than eating, drinking, and going to the toilet, he spent almost all his time meditating and cultivating.
Perhaps because the Wave Meditation Technique was a product of the System, Norton did not have any difficulty with the meditation technique. He was like a fish in water when cultivating it. Or perhaps, it was because he had already accumulated large amounts of reserves in his body. It was because the meditation techniques he had used previously were too garbage that his realm had been suppressed, and he was not able to advance. After obtaining the powerful meditation technique, his strength had improved rapidly; he was advancing by almost one level every day.
Over the past few days, he had already condensed three magic runes and had successfully advanced to become a level-12 Mage. This was the full level of the Mage realm. One more step, and he would be able to break through and successfully become a Great Mage; this was to be a giant leap.
That night, Norton continued to meditate in the quiet room.. The twelve magic runes he had condensed revolved around him continuously, and they became faster and faster.
