L couldn’t possibly have not seen it! The dragon-shaped jade pendant in the painting was the family heirloom passed down to him by his grandfather and father!


    It was because of this jade pendant that he changed his destiny and now possessed various abilities.


    Although the jade pendant had long lost its luster, L still treasured it and kept it locked in a safe in his vi. Unexpectedly, someone was looking for the whereabouts of this jade pendant today?


    And coincidentally, theirst name was also Willis!! However, L was wary of Summer so he cannot tell her the truth.


    “Oh, that’s too bad!” Summer shook her head regretfully.


    “Miss Willis, you really know how to ask a good question. We don’t know anything; how could he?” Sarah sneered at L again even though Liam and Sam seemed polite towards him as well but in her eyes, L was still a freeloader.


    She didn’t want Frand to lose face nor did she want Miranda’s husband to feel too proud so she tried her best to belittle L.


    “Yeah, I didn’t know either.” L shruggedzily without bothering with Sarah.


    At this moment, Summer stood up with a bottle of liquor in hand and began pouring drinks for everyone on the table.


    L narrowed his eyes!


    He noticed that when this woman poured drinks for everyone else on the table, her little finger would seemingly inadvertently tap on the edge of each ss several times.


    This made an icy chill sh through deep within L’s eyes.


    “This jade pendant rtes to my missing rtives so I ask everyone here who has some connections or influence in Ednd can help me pay attention! My rtives should be somewhere around Ednd.”


    After adding more wine, Summer spoke leisurely and then finished her drink in one go.


    Hearing this, the second-generation individuals all readily agreed, raising their sses and preparing to take a sip.


    Even Miranda smiled, though she didn’t say anything, she also gestured to take a drink!


    “Wait!”


    However, at that moment, L suddenly spoke up, halting everyone in their tracks. He even directly grabbed Miranda’s wrist, preventing her from drinking.


    “What’s going on?” Miranda blinked, her expression puzzled.


    The others also looked at L with confusion in their eyes.


    “Don’t drink the wine Miss Willis poured. It’s better not to!” L said, and he proceeded to spill the wine from his ss onto the ground and turned his ss upside down.


    “L, what do you mean? You’re not giving her face? She kindly poured us all a drink, why won’t you let us drink it? And yet you pour your own?”


    “I know I’m from out of town and new to Ednd, but you can’t bully people like this,” Summer said with a hint of grievance in her voice. Tears were welling up in her eyes.


    “That’s right! What do you mean? A girl drank all the wine! You won’t even take a sip? Are you still a man or not? If you won’t drink it we will!” Darwin was also angry and questioned L without listening to his advice before drinking the whole cup of wine.


    “Bullying girls doesn’t make him a man!” Sarah added with disdain as she also drank her cup of wine.Têxt belongs to N?velDrama.Org.


    “That’s right! So rude!”


    “Outrageous!”


    All these second-generation kids sneered at L one after another and drank their cups of wine.


    Even Liam who had been grateful to L before couldn’t help but feel resentful when he saw how upset Summer looked now. He couldn’t help but me L for it too.


    “L, what do you mean by this? Did Summer offend or did I offend?” Liam asked sternly while Miranda looked at L puzzledly. But she didn’t touch that cup of wine because she believed that there must be some reason behind what he did.


    Sam hesitated for a moment too before putting down his ss. As the heir to Reid’s Group, he remained calm mainly because L had just cured his mother’s illness so Sam trusted him inexplicably.


    When everyone was looking at him with suspicion and confusion on their faces, L spoke slowly, “Phoenix Nodding – one of the most sophisticated techniques used in witchcraft from Desernding! Miss Willis, who are you really? What is your purpose here in Ednd?”


    After hearing this, everyone present showed an expression full of surprise and doubt. “What Phoenix Nodding technique? What witchcraft are talking about?”


    Sarah sneered and asked, “What’s going on here?”


    Everyone looked at L like he was crazy.


    Summer’s eyes shed with a hint of surprise, then she put on an innocent face and said, “L, I don’t understand what you’re saying.”


    Liam snorted coldly and red at L. He was furious!


    “L, Summer kindly invited you over to thank you. If you don’t want to give face, then just leave! What’s the point of saying all this nonsense? Are you trying to bully Summer because she’s new here or because my family is easy to bully?”


    “Liam, calm down! Mr. Willis must have his reasons. Let him finish speaking!” Sam tried to calm him down.


    “What do you want me to say? Summer is the woman I love the most. She came alone to Ednd looking for me. If I can’t protect her and let her suffer injustice, am I still a man?” Liam said excitedly before mming his hand on the table and pointing at L. “L, today you must give me an exnation!”


    “Liam…” Sam tried again but was interrupted by L waving his hand.


    “Mr. Reid, you don’t need to say anything else! He has been affected by love potion; he only has this woman in his mind now.”


    “What love potion? I don’t know what you’re talking about,” Liam said excitedly.


    Except for Miranda and Sam who knew about it already, everyone else seemed confused as if they were hearing something from another world.


    “Don’t believe it? Do dare sit down and let me prick some needles into your skin,” L challenged him while raising an eyebrow.


    Hearing this made Liam snort coldly before sitting back beside L, “What are we afraid of? Can pricking some needles really show us any bugs that might be inside my body?”


    “Maybe it can… Miss Willis, what do you think?”


    L nodded meaningfully towards Summer who blinked several times beforeughing sarcastically, “I really have no idea what are you talking about.”


    “Haha…”  Laughing lightly, L suddenly had three silver needles in his hands which he quickly inserted into three acupoints on Liam’s head. Because many times, L had used silver needles as a way of disguising himself when infusing dragon energy into people so he always carried them around with him wherever he went.


    After the third needle went in, Liam’s eyes widened and a bulge appeared on his neck. It looked like something was moving under his skin! Everyone was shocked and stared in disbelief at the scene before them.
