On the phone, Raphael sounded very unhappy and angry.


    L was taken aback. “Mr. MacDonald, what’s wrong?”


    Raphael snorted. “Willis? Are you trying to take advantage of me? I expect you to cure me, so I have to protect your life. You’re in danger, and I’ll send someone to protect you. But I’m not obligated to protect anyone else!”


    The young master spoke with annoyance in his voice.


    L finally understood what was going on. It turned out that he had contacted Raphael before, asking him to send experts at the Golden Core level or above to protect him in Hudpids Vige.


    Later, when he learned that his father-inw was in trouble, he rushed back in a hurry. By the time the experts from the Macdonald family arrived, L was no longer in Hudpids Vige. They only escorted Savannah and Sophie.


    “Mr. Macdonald, something unexpected happened, and it wasn’t intentional to deceive you. It’s like this…”


    L exined the situation to Raphael. After listening, Raphael let out a cold snort, his tone slightly softened but still displeased. “Even if you left, you should have informed me. The experts from my family at the Golden Core level are not at the disposal of anyone. Does an ordinary martial family deserve to have my experts escorting them?”


    Raphael seemed to hold the Graham family in contempt, clearly indicating that the Macdonald family and the Graham family were not on the same level.


    “Yes, yes! It was my mistake this time. I apologize,” L said with an awkward smile. He could only offer an apology to Raphael as he was indeed in the wrong.


    “An apology is enough?” Raphael asked irritably, then his tone changed. “Enough with the nonsense. When will you give me the second treatment?”


    L pondered for a moment. “How about one weekter? You cane to Ednd then.”


    “Will it be able to cure me this time?” Raphael asked.


    “I’ll do my best!” L replied with a “sincere” tone.


    In truth, L could treat Raphael at any time, and he could cure him whenever he wanted. It just depended on whether L himself wanted to or not.


    “Alright, I’lle to you seven dayster,” Raphael said before hanging up the phone.


    Immediately after ending the call with Raphael, L received calls from Savannah and Matthias.


    Savannah reported that she and Sophie had safely returned.


    Matthias, on the other hand, invited L to the Graham family as a guest.


    L had sessfully preserved the status of the Graham family this time, and he wanted to celebrate and express his gratitude to L in person.


    …


    In the afternoon, Nora truly began her cultivation practice!


    To L’s surprise, this little one was a genius. With L’s guidance, Nora sessfully practiced the cirction of spiritual energy ording to the Fierce Phoenix Heart Sutra,pleting one cycle.


    The beginning is always the hardest!


    Nora had sessfullypleted one cycle, which was the most crucial step. From now on, she would be able to cultivate on her own.


    L thought that Nora’s exceptional determinationpared to children of the same age might be the reason. Since her illness, Nora had been fighting against the disease and had also experienced family changes. Her psychological resilience was much stronger than that of ordinary children.


    In addition to guiding Nora’s cultivation, L also took the time to study the items he had found on Heskel Ghost.


    Among them, there was one thing that caught L’s attention. It was a talisman made of a special fabric, silver-gray in color, emitting a strange energy fluctuation.


    Soul Edict Talisman!


    After studying it, L understood its function, and his expression changed several times. This Soul Edict Talisman could actually control another person’s soul, a living person. As long as the user’s spiritual power was stronger than the target’s, the Soul Edict Talisman would take effect.


    After controlling the other person’s soul, they would essentially be the user’s ve. With a single thought, the user can shatter the target’s soul. It had to be said that the effect of this Soul Edict Talisman left L astonished and horrified. Undoubtedly, this talisman was extremely domineering and malicious.


    It was hard to imagine the despair one would feel when their soul was controlled.


    L couldn’t help but have a chilling thought, “My spiritual power is stronger than that of an ordinary Golden Core expert. If I were to use this on a Golden Core powerhouse, wouldn’t I be able to subdue them and make them work for me?”


    After a moment of shock, L’s mind floated with this idea. But then he shook his head, “No good! I’ll reach the Golden Core Realm sooner orter. It would be a waste to use it like this!”


    With this in mind, L suddenly brightened his eyes, a cold expression appearing on his face. “Perhaps, there is someone more suitable!”


    …


    At around 5 o’clock today, Miranda returned home from work.


    “Honey, why are you back so early today?”


    L was watching Nora practice her cultivation technique in the courtyard. He smiled and greeted her, “I’ll cook right away!”


    At this moment, Nora had justpleted one cycle of her cultivation technique. She opened her eyes and stood up, running towards Miranda. “Mommy Miranda, you’re back! Dad and I are participating in a parent-child activity today, ying games together. It’s so much fun.”


    Speaking up to this point, the little one pouted, “But you weren’t there…”


    Miranda hugged Nora, her beautiful eyes filled with deep affection, seemingly even more intense than before. She pinched Nora’s chubby little face and said indulgently, “I’m sorry! I will definitely apany you next time, okay?”


    “Mhmm! Promise, pinky swear!”


    Nora happily nodded and extended her small hand.


    Miranda hooked her pinky finger with Nora’s and then nced at L, her eyes revealing aplex expression. In the next moment, she said something that made L’s hair stand on end.


    “I’ll cook tonight…”


    Upon hearing those words, L’s whole body jolted, and a bitter smile appeared on his face.


    “No… really?”Ccontent ? exclusive by N?/vel(D)ra/ma.Org.


    He still had vivid memories of the “dark cuisine” that the Goddess CEO cookedst time. He didn’t want to turn mushrooms into braised pork again…


    Seeing L’s expression, Miranda’s demeanor suddenly became chilly, staring at him aggressively. “What do you mean?”


    “N-nothing… It’s nothing…”


    L shrank his neck and awkwardly waved his hand.


    Damn it! What did he do to provoke her again? Was she going to torture him in this way?


    However, forty minutester…


    As L looked at the table, filled with a whole te, no, a big basin of tomato and scrambled eggs, a strange expression appeared on his face.
