Joe was planning to surprise Laura's grandma by paying a sudden night visit to her bedroom and doing her by surprise or force if required. Either way tonight he was not going to quit until he wrecked that big juicy ass. But when Joe stealthily managed to break into Laura's grandma's room he was taken by surprise seeing all the elders of the Hill family gathered in Laura's grandma's room seriously discussing something.

The elders paused their discussion seeing Joe break into their mother's room and looked at him in confusion but before they all could reach the apparent conclusion, Laura's grandma came to Joe's rescue by inviting him to join their discussion. Though reluctant, Joe chose to follow Laura's grandma's lead as he, himself, could not think of a better reason on spot. So instead of spending a steamy night with Laura's grandma, Joe ended up answering the elder's various questions about the Central capital and the main Hill family's plan for Laura, the child with the sword slave physique.

It was almost early morning before Joe walked out of Laura's grandma's bedroom like he planned to but he was not happy about it as he did not get lucky as he was hoping to instead he ended up cozying up to a bunch of country bumpkins because he did not want to spook them by showing them the real him.

That day Joe was surprised to learn that the Circle's branch in sun blossom city was destroyed by a neighboring force, making it so that the branch Hill family no longer required the main family's assistance anymore. As he anticipated the branch family looked at him and his people as if asking when they will be leaving. However, Joe made it clear with his actions that they were here to take the child with the sword slave physique and he did not mind using force to do that.

Having shown the might of the main family, Joe was able to suppress the branch family and force them to hide their dissatisfaction. Later he took the child with the sword slave physique to find the person who had her fated ingredient and buy it but to their dismay, that person had already left the city and returned to his home in the neighboring city, Sky blossom city.

Having suppressed the branch family with his goon's strength unwilling Joe had yet to give up on the idea of tasting the matriarch of the branch family despite his first failure, he once again paid a night visit to her bedroom but this time learning from his past mistake before breaking into the room he pressed his ears against the door to make sure he would not walk in on a trap like the last time.

Hearing no sounds from inside, Joe rubbed his hands together with great enthusiasm letting out a muffled creepy laugh before breaking into the room however to his surprise Laura's grandma was not in the bedroom as Joe was expecting her to be yet Joe wait patiently for his prey to arrive but she never arrived. Turns out that night she was sleeping with her beloved granddaughter Laura. Failing to get lucky two nights in a row Joe was frustrated.

Frustrated Joe summoned his people that accompanied him as his advisors to help him with his predicament with Laura's grandma. To his surprise, he received a call from his father the very next second. Getting an earful from his father Joe grudgingly glanced at all of his aids before planning a trip to sky blossom city to get the fated ingredient of the child with the sword slave physique. Leaving a few of his goons to watch over the branch family, Joe led the others to the sky-blossom city.

Arriving at the city, Joe learned that the city had faced massive earthquakes just last night and that if not for the city array, the whole city might have collapsed. Joe sparred no thoughts to this news and went in search of the person who had Laura's fated ingredient. Arriving at that person's workplace a warehouse, the sensory card apprentice amongst his goons warned him that there was a semi-demigod in the warehouse.

Learning that a semi-demigod was staying within the warehouse where the person he was supposed to meet was working Joe felt a chill run down his spine. Semi-demigods were not new to Joe who had grown up in the central capital, his family had a semi-demigod protector, his great-grandpa. The reason Joe felt scared was that he was planning to storm into the warehouse and threaten the person who had Laura's fated ingredient using his family name so that he would give them the card for free. A few thousand low-tier soul jades were not a big deal for Joe but he was used to taking what he wanted by force only from the weak.

Now that Joe learned that a semi-demigod was staying in the workplace of the person whom he was supposed to meet, Joe decided to pay for the card and leave without causing any trouble. Questions like, what a semi-demigod was doing in a third-rate city did raise in Joe's mind but he chose not to entertain them as he walked into the warehouse.

Walking into the warehouse Joe was surprised to find Aba Windsor and her infamous bodyguard Agatha. At first, Joe did not believe his eyes but having been warned by his goon that a semi-demigod was inside the warehouse, Joe understood that he had not mistaken, he was actually in presence of Aba Windsor, the only beloved daughter of Demigod Windsor. Realizing this Joe began to thank his lucky star, who would have thought that he would meet Aba Windsor, his ticket to greatness in a third-rate city? Joe no longer regrets not killing the commoner girl back in the central capital after assaulting her. If not for her his father would not gave sent him here to lay low for a while.

Though Aba Windsor had no idea who Joe Hill was or if a family named Hill existed in the central capital, Joe was completely aware of Aba Windsor, and her likes and dislikes. He had paid a fortune to learn those things. No, Joe was not Aba's secret admirer or anything of that sort. He was a predator, but Aba was not like his typical prey, she was what he liked to call his golden ticket to ascension.

Aba despite her child-like body build was very popular among the central capital men, mostly because her last name was Windsor, and some men idolized her because of their rather unique sense of taste, the Lolicons. And Joe was among the men who liked Aba for her last name, Windsor. Even an 8-year-old child from the streets of the central capital knows that demigod Windsor was one of the richest demigods in the five regions. Who would not want a rich and powerful father-in-law?

Joe was one of those who would rather work hard to take the shortcut than work hard the regular way. So for someone like him, Aba was indeed a golden ticket to ascension. Joe would not be Joe if had not done his homework on Aba despite having no chance of ever interacting with her. Just because he liked to fantasize about hitting big by getting Aba to madly fall in love with him and then marry into her family and live off her rich and powerful dad. Aba wasn't the only one, Joe had a list of golden tickets, and one of the names on that list was Anna Heatsend, the princess of the southern royal family.

Joe greeted Aba with the most charming smile his ugly mug could muster, creeping Aba out. Yet, Joe felt that he had left the best first impression in the history of first impressions. Thankfully his advisors could see where this was heading and did not waste a second before, texting Joe to behave saying that his overzealous approach was leaving a very desperate and bad impression on Aba Windsor. And if he were to continue down this path he would burn any chances of getting close to Aba Windsor while advising him to use a different approach.

Joe ignored the first text so his goons bombard his grimoire with texts forcing him to read their texts, warning and advising him to do better as this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity not just for Joe, himself, but the Hill family too. They knew that the chances of Joe becoming demigod Windsor's son-in-law were lesser than zero but they hoped that Joe could try and get acquainted with Aba Windsor, as just being acquainted with a Windsor would open many doors for their family and Joe himself.

Right now the advisors were thinking of numerous ways to help Joe get on the good side of Aba Windsor. Meanwhile, Joe was trying his best not to bomb any chances of him getting close to Aba Windsor. So he could not help but laminate the fact that this went so smoothly in his fantasies but why was it so hard in the real world?

Just when Joe's advisors were out of ideas to help Joe get close to Aba, three low-level card apprentices walked into the warehouse. Seeing how Aba was close to them, one of the advisors came up with an idea that would not only help Joe get close to Aba but even get her to owe him a favor.
