“This Dragon-shaped Jade Pendant was with my father, and I can’t find him anywhere! What should I do? Is there any other way?” L asked with a deep voice.


    If it was indeed a curse, not only would the Dragon-shaped Jade Pendant be useless, even if it was effective, it would be toote!


    That pendant had already been absorbed by him!


    Summer heard L’s response, and a cold glint shed in her eyes.


    In fact, she had always suspected that L wasn’t telling her the truth, so she wanted to trick him into giving the Dragon-shaped Jade Pendant to his daughter.


    Unexpectedly, he still said this.


    It seemed that the pendant was really with his father?


    Summer seemed to have lost interest in talking to L any further and shook her head, saying, “No more! Unless…”


    “Unless what?” L urgently asked.


    Summer looked at L, a hint of disdain and mockery shing in her eyes. “Unless you can go to the ancient Willis family and have the head of the Willis family personally lift the curse from your daughter! But I can tell you, it’s almost impossible. From what I know, your grandfather was a traitor to the Willis family. If you really go to the ancient Willis family, they will mercilessly kill you. They won’t help you at all. Unless you can acquire the strength to confront andmunicate with the ancient Willis family before your daughter turns seven, don’t even think about it! But I can responsibly tell you that even though a Grandmaster is considered the pinnacle in the secr world, they are nothing more than ants in front of the ancient Willis family!”


    As she finished speaking, L sat there with an ever-changing expression.


    Summer sneered, nced at the man disdainfully, and then directly left by scaling over the wall.


    In her opinion, a mere Grandmaster, within less than three years, trying to face the colossal ancient Willis family, was simply impossible!


    “The ancient Willis family! The curse!”


    “Nora, if you really are cursed, Daddy will break this damn thing for you!”


    “The ancient Willis family? Are they really powerful? Even if it’s the underworld, Daddy will break through the gates of hell to protect you in the mortal world!”


    After L’s face went through various changes, it finally became determined.


    “Strength! It’s all about strength!”


    L gritted his teeth.


    …


    The next morning, L sat by the bedside, watching as Nora opened her eyes.


    “Daddy… Daddy!”


    As soon as the little one saw L, she jumped into his arms. She had a fit yesterday and lost consciousness until just now when she woke up.


    “Daddy, I had a nightmare! I dreamed that I fell into an abyss, it was so scary and ufortable…”


    The little one’s eyes were filled with fear as she spoke.


    L gently stroked Nora’s face and said, “Nora, don’t be afraid, it was just a bad dream! Everything is okay…”


    My darling, Daddy won’t let anything happen to you!


    Never!


    “Mhmm! With you here, I amn’t scared.”


    Nora nodded her head in agreement.


    After dropping off Nora at kindergarten in the morning, L called Emerson. When he arrived, L asked directly, “I mentioned before that besides money if someone wants to trade some natural treasures for elixirs, it’s also possible. Have you received any?”


    L realized that the biggest obstacle to improving his strength now was the thinness of heaven and earth spiritual energy. Only by absorbing some natural treasures rich in heaven and earth spiritual energy could he continue to break through new realms.


    Emerson shook his head with a bitter smile upon hearing this, “Not yet Mr. Willis; you know how rare even a hundred-year-old ginseng is nowadays.”


    L looked disappointed after hearing this news, “Okay then keep an eye out for me!”


    “Will do!” Emerson replied.


    After sending him away, L received an unfamiliar call but hesitated before answering it anyway,


    “Who is this?”


    A hoarse voice came from the other end of the phone, “It’s Miranda’s grandmother!”


    “Oh? Mrs. Lowe?”


    L paused for a moment then asked meaningfully because he knew they would contact him sooner orter… and sure enough…N?velDrama.Org holds text ? rights.


    “It’s me! L are you going to keep your word?” Victoria asked hoarsely.


    “What word?” he pretended not knowing what she meant.


    There was silence on the other end of the phone for quite some time before Victoria spoke again in a low voice, “I want to live! I don’t want to die!”


    “Heheh I understand. I’lle see you right away,” smiled L as he hung up on her.


    When L met Victoriater that morning, she looked like death warmed over – like she could pass away at any moment.


    L knew that Victoria’s age and failing health meant that even if Dr. Hall stopped giving her the medicine that drained her energy, she wouldn’t live much longer.


    Three days!


    That was L’s urate assessment upon seeing her.


    “Hey kid, you’re here!”


    After dismissing the servants by her side, Victoria nodded at L.


    “Heh heh, your son Romeo and his family are making moves?” L asked casually.


    Victoria looked deeply at L before nodding in agreement.


    “You got it right! Everything you said was right!”


    “Ever since that day, Eliza hasn’t made me egg custard again!”


    “The day before yesterday, Romeo came to see me and hinted about choosing a new family head.”


    As she spoke, Victoria picked up a piece of paper from beside her and threw it on the ground with a dark expression on her face.


    “Yesterday they all came! Haha… ha ha…”


    “Cough! Cough cough cough…”


    She wanted tough mockingly but ended up coughing violently instead. After finally calming down slightly she hoarsely said, “They suggested I hold a family meeting yesterday to transfer the position of family head to Romeo! They even brought this will for me to sign.”


    “They want me to transfer all my shares in the family’s assets over to Romeo!!”


    After hearing this news, L sneered, “I knew it woulde sooner orter! Let me tell you now – you’ve been set up by your own son Romeo and his family – do you believe it?”


    Victoria looked at him silently without saying anything; either because she still didn’t believe him or because she didn’t want to admit it out loud herself.


    “L,” Victoria stared at him with intense desire for survival in her eyes, “you said if I wanted to live, I coulde find you.”


    “But I also said there were conditions,” L replied with an evil smile on his face.


    Hearing this, Victoria gritted her teeth, “What are your conditions? Tell me now!”


    L shook his head, “Not so fast. We’ll talk about them after today.”


    “Don’t Romeo and his family want you hold a family meeting?”


    “Well then, promise them- tonight is when we’ll have one.”
