He opened the System backpack. The âDad Cheatâ was absolutely impossible. The âAphrodisiac Incense (Male)â seemed rather pointless; not knowing what to use it for over two hours felt somewhat wasteful to use on him.
There was only one left: âCharacter Label (Male)â. Glancing at the arrogantly proud celestial sister in law, then looking at the greasy, powdered face of Daniel, a wicked idea slowly formed in his mind.
"Ding... Whether to use the prop âCharacter Labelâ on male: Daniel."
Luis mentally recited: "Use."
With a ding, three blank labels appeared above Danielâs head.
"Please, Host, fill in the label content. Once filled, it cannot be changed. The cheat skill will activate immediately, implementing comprehensive changes to the targetâs physiology, psychology, thoughts, and genetic chain."
There were actually three labels, which he hadnât expected. Luis originally thought there was only one; this was an unexpected surprise.
The first label was one Luis had already chosen. With a single thought, the word âHomosexualâ appeared on the label.
After all, the eldest sister was definitely his exclusive property; naturally, he couldnât let Daniel touch her again.
Even though their relationship was very hostile now, they were still husband and wife at the core, and the emotional foundation remained. Who could guarantee they wouldnât reconcile one day?
This move was to completely sever that possibility. Luis was a normal man with strong possessive instincts. Since it was a woman he had his eyes on, he absolutely could not let this brother in law touch her again, even if he was the legitimate husband.
After some thought, Luis recalled those depraved and lewd scenarios from adult videos and online stories.
The second label naturally emerged: âCuckold Fetishâ.
But to prevent him from becoming psychologically twisted and harming others, Luis carefully considered and very prudently chose the third label: âCuckoldâ.
Homosexual, Cuckold Fetish, Cuckold.
Looking at the three labels floating above Danielâs head, Luis smiled with immense wickedness.
This was practically exploiting a bug. Being homosexual, liking men, yet having a cuckolding fetish, and lacking the nerve to proactively do anything evil, he could only obediently degenerate into a cuckold.
No screenwriter would dare write it this way. Stacking these three buffs created arguably the most tragic character. Remembering his previous arrogant attitude, Luis felt a secret thrill of satisfaction.
"Ding... Labeling completed. Skill consumption successful. Transformation initiated."
The three labels suspended above his head abruptly shot into Danielâs body.
He seemed to be stunned into a daze, but it was only for an instant, and no one noticed.
The Wood mother and daughter, having gained the upper hand, continued their verbal assault.
Nancy said coldly, "You specifically chose Momâs birthday to make us uncomfortable, didnât you?"
Daniel snapped back to reality and explained, "Mom, I truly didnât mean that. If itâs a misunderstanding, clearing it up is fine. I didnât specifically pick this day to tell you; I just found out myself."
"Hah, easier said than done!"
Leah suddenly spoke up, "Eldest brother in law, since itâs Momâs birthday, what gift did you prepare?"
Daniel, having been pampered since childhood, was already feeling humiliated and angry, especially since the youngest sister in law of the Wood family dared to question him like this.
His expression began to darken, and he suddenly shouted at her, "Leah, why are you interrupting when adults are talking? This is no place for you to speak."
Nancy often scolded her two younger sisters, but now the family was united against a common enemy. Furious, she said:
"Daniel, what the hell are you shouting for? Little sister just asked what birthday gift you brought, itâs a perfectly normal question. Just take it out, thatâs all."
Lily also chimed in, "Exactly. The surprise we prepared for Mom was ruined by you. Canât we even ask?"
Leah was somewhat frightened by the shout but bit her lip stubbornly.
As the current bottom of the familyâs social hierarchy, she hated most being scolded and treated like a child.
Often, even when she was clearly in the right, her mother and sisters would scold her like this, which was what Leah resented the most.
No one paid attention to her feelings at that moment. As she welled up with aggrieved tears, Luis reached over and placed his hand on hers.
"Itâs alright, Leah. Youâre concerned about Mom, we all know that," Luis comforted her gently.
The action was very natural. The others saw it and didnât remark, instead thinking Danielâs shouting at a young girl was rather tasteless.
"Understood, brother in law!"
Leah flashed Luis a sweet, charming smile.
Looking at the lecherous yet gentle and considerate second brother in law before her, and then at the infuriated and utterly useless eldest brother in law, the comparison in her mind clearly showed who was superior.
Luis should actually thank Daniel at this moment. It was precisely because of such a stark contrast that Luis now appeared tall and perfect in the hearts of the four Wood women, mother and daughters.
Hela, seeing her sonâs unruly temper about to flare, quickly said, "Daniel, didnât Mom tell you to prepare a proper gift? Just take it out and let your mother in law see."
Danielâs face grew redder and redder with anger. Humiliated and enraged, he slammed the table and said, "Stop asking! My mind is full of catching the adulterers! I didnât buy one, alright!"
"Didnât Mom give you money?!"
Hela was dumbfounded upon hearing this; her son had specifically come to ask her for 5,000 dollars.
Moreover, her son had vowed that no matter the outcome, the Zester family still upheld proper manners and etiquette. One thing was separate from another; after all, it was his mother in law, and the due courtesies shouldnât be neglected.
At that time, Hela had been quite pleased; regardless, her son was showing maturity, so she immediately transferred 5,000 dollars to him.
"I, I..."
Daniel was stammering incoherently.
Nancy watched coldly and snorted, "Mother-in-law, the money was probably spent long ago. Donât put him on the spot. I think you know very well what your own son is like."
Mother-in-law Ruth also let out a sarcastic snort and said, "Mother-in-law, the Zester familyâs manners are truly impressive. Iâve certainly gained some insight today."
"I donât have your good fortune, having three daughters but no filial son."
"At least my three daughters have been raised to be somewhat sensible, and they know a little about human relationships and worldly customs."
"Perhaps the Zester familyâs children are just more precious. We canât really complain if they come empty-handed to wish their elder a happy birthday, but arriving without even a pleasant expression and then stirring up trouble with completely baseless accusations is another matter."
"If a young couple has problems, they should resolve them properly, but they shouldnât take their frustrations out on us elders, donât you agree? If this gets out, people will laugh at you, mother-in-law, for lacking proper upbringing."
"Take what just happened, for instance. You dismissed it as a simple misunderstanding, but if word spreads, my daughterâs reputation will be ruined."
"If all the relatives and friends had arrived, they would have been laughing at me."
"Look at Daniel, itâs fine if he didnât help, and I donât mind if he didnât prepare a gift, but he really shouldnât spoil the mood like this, right?"
"And especially, accusing my second son-in-law of having an affair with my eldest sister-in-lawâour familyâs morals arenât that degenerate. Daniel, did you see something going on at home that gave you such an idea?"
When it came to top-tier sarcasm, Ruth was absolutely a master.
Once she started her verbal assault, Nancy could only stand aside. Not a single vulgar word was spoken, yet her words cut deeper than outright curses, all while maintaining a veneer of indirect mockery.
Luis almost felt like giving a thumbs-up; his mother-in-lawâs skills as a shrew were truly maxed out. On the surface, she presented herself as reasonable and understanding, yet she managed to subtly mock every point that deserved ridicule.
Helaâs face was flushed bright red. No matter how strong-willed she was, being in the wrong left her unable to muster a single retort.
Daniel had been spoiled since childhood and had never endured such humiliation. Even though he was clearly in the wrong, he simply couldnât swallow such an insult.
He abruptly stood up and yelled, "Fine! If you canât stand the sight of me, Iâll just leave, alright? Damn it, when is this ever going to end?"
