"Uhhh, he looks younger than me, so… around 200 years old? Or maybe 150 years?" Melia guessed and suddenly, the entire room turned silent.

Melia muttered and hearing those words, the entire room turned silent.

"W-What happened?

Why are you guys looking at me like that?"

Melia frowned.

"Is he older than that? He doesn't look like it…"

She muttered.

"24…"

After a long silence, Felberta muttered.

"Hmm? 24? Are you saying he is 24 decades old? That's a strange way of saying it."

Melia commented.

"Not decades, Melia, years.

He is 24 years old."

Felberta revealed and waited for the bomb she dropped to detonate.

"…"

Melia didn't say anything.

The wives glanced at each other and all of them had similar expressions on their faces.

This wasn't the first time they were dealing with a situation like this. Therefore, they knew how things worked. Melia just needed some time to take in what she had heard.

She just learned that the man who defeated her was only a 'child' from her perspective, it would be abnormal if she just accepted it.

"You guys… you should stop with these jokes…" Suddenly, Melia chuckled.

"I know we all are like a family in this clan, but you shouldn't joke like this, I am different but there are people who might actually take you serious-"

"We are not joking, Melia. He is 24 years old. I know it is hard to take in, you are not the only one, we were shocked when we learned about this as well."

Ember spoke with a serious look on her face. Out of everyone in this room, she could relate to Melia's situation the most.

Melia glanced at all the women in front of her, and seeing their expressions, she realized that they were not lying.

In the end, she failed to hold herself back and extended her hand toward Nux.

She needed to confirm it on her own.

She would check his bone age.

However, the moment she was about to grab Nux's arm, Lane grabbed her arm.
