Chapter 58: Saving a defenseless woman

Strax left the mansion without waiting or speaking to anyone; he didn't need to. His conviction was clear: he controlled his life, not his family. So, he simply walked away without any problems—except for those two idiots who tried to attack him.

"I'll first look for my lovely wife, then find that bastard Carlos and talk to the Assassin Queen. After that, I need to start leveling up again. My strength is almost tripled now because of those extra points, which is good, but I can't rely on that after putting a huge target on my back," he thought as he reached his horse, Apocalypse.

"Hey, girl, sorry for taking so long. I had to deal with some foolish women who don't know their place," he said with a smile, stroking the fur on Apocalypse's neck. The horse neighed softly, as if speaking to Strax.
