Wanda: "What Valtos?"

that status is from the previous chapter, that's a big jump, but considering all the things he fought since their expedition started does make sense.

no? Hephaestus is Hera's son alone, while Kratos is the son of Zeus, Hera is Kratos aunt, and Zeus is Hephaestus Uncle (Hera and Zeus are siblings first and foremost before being husband and wife) that makes Kratos and Hephaestus cousins since. Heracles is his brother, Ares too is his brother too.

damn! missed the chance to use Jade Empire.

I don't think the butler can even put up a fight against him, if the MC is as strong as indicated, he is capable of taking the butler down and kicking him out without damaging the cafe. please stop trying to protect or justify a bad plot that has such ballant contradictions due to the author's indecisiveness. you're not gonna win this argument, because it is forced.

he IS stronger than her, and he IS stronger than the butler, but here he is getting walked over by them, what is the point of him being stronger than them if he is going to bow his head to their demands, demands that do not benefit him in any way, and I will tell you the answer is because of bad plot, author made Him OP, and run a cafe not bothered by anything else, then suddenly changed his mind and wanted him to get adopted by Maya, and the only for that to happen is for the MC to be forced to meet her in the first place, so he made a stupid approach of making the butler says "I'm sorry, but you have no choice" do you realize how it is to tell someone way more powerful than you that they got no choice other than to comply with your demands? and his 'mother' too no giving him the choice in the adoption thing, do you yourself have no free will of your own for you to see this as a normal thing? being forced by others and you only dip your head and accept getting walked over when you have means to say "I don't think I will" or "make me if you can"??? I recognize it when I see it, and I will call it what it is Bad Writing, Forced Plot, Contradictions, etc... you got it now? or do I have to continue my argument?

author lied to me

Noice, those are some sick upgrades right there. I like your way of thinking.
