Mason stood to the side, watching Matthias’ polite and enthusiastic attitude towards L, feeling a twinge of emotion in his heart.


    Once upon a time, the Graham family was an unattainable presence in his mind when he first came with L to attend the auction.


    As the underground boss in Ednd, he couldn’t even get close to anyone in charge. He had to follow everyone else’s rules and sit obediently at the auction house like everyone else. He couldn’t even wander around freely.


    But now, following his brother-inw here, he found that even the head of the Graham family hade over to greet him.


    The contrast between then and now made Mason feel unreal.


    In his heart, it turned into four words: my brother-inw is awesome!


    At noon, the banquet officially began with L, Miranda, Nora and Mason as well as Matthias at one table. Also present were Raul and Sophie as elders of the family along with Savannah who was their genius girl.


    Even ordinary elders of the Graham family didn’t have a chance to sit at this table.


    “I propose a toast! On behalf of the Graham family I would like to express our sincere thanks to Mr. Willis! Everything… goes without saying,” said Matthias seriously after they started eating.


    Everyone present stood up and raised their sses towards L while high-level members of the Graham family also toasted him respectfully.


    L calmly drank with everyone and then smiled at Raul, saying, “Mr. Graham and everyone, there’s no need to be polite. To be honest, my life was saved by an ancient predecessor. If it weren’t for Mr. Graham, I might have died at the hands of Hawkeye.”


    L never forgot his hatred, and he was even more grateful for favors. Although Raul acted with the consideration of the Graham family, he still saved L’s life and bought him precious seven days of time. L remembered this.


    Raul smiled with relief upon hearing L’s words but waved his hand, saying, “Mr. Willis, your growth speed is truly astonishing! I’m afraid I’m no longer your match.”


    His admiration was sincere. Previously, when faced with the early Core Formation stage Hawkeye, L looked like he was about to be killed. But in just a short time, he swept through the n Grand Competition, even crushing opponents in the mid Core Formation stage. His growth speed was truly astonishing.


    During the banquet, L and Matthias exchanged toasts, and the atmosphere was harmonious.


    Matthias mentioned that the Noble Families Alliance had already allocated the cultivation resources to the Graham family as agreed, and L could take away thirty percent when he left today.


    In addition, the Graham family had prepared some spiritual jade and longsting medicinal herbs as gifts for L. As Matthias put it, the previous conditions were just conditions, and the gifts were expressions of gratitude.


    L didn’t refuse because the people around him also needed these cultivation resources. Not to mention Nora and Miranda, even his brother-inw and subordinates like Emerson and Makhi, as well as the personnel from the securitypany, could make use of them.


    However, another kind of atmosphere lingered throughout the meal.


    Savannah frequently cast nces at L at the dining table, and the meaning behind those nces was obvious. At the same time, she asionally scrutinized Miranda, her thoughts unclear.


    After eating for a while, Miranda stood up and walked towards the restroom, seemingly wanting to freshen up. At that moment, Savannah’s eyes flickered a few times, and she silently followed her.


    After opening the restroom door, she found Miranda standing there, seemingly waiting for Savannah to arrive.


    “Miss Graham, is something the matter?” Miranda asked calmly, looking at the girl who was constantly stealing nces at her husband.


    An inexplicable sense of crisis arose in Miranda’s heart.


    Savannah paused for a moment, then a smile appeared on her face as she casually closed the restroom door. The next moment, she looked straight at Miranda and yfully said, “Nothing, I just wanted to see for myself how excellent the wife whom your husband constantly boasts about is.”


    Upon hearing these words, Miranda raised an eyebrow, and a flicker of emotion passed through her beautiful eyes. That bastard L never exined himself in the face of her misunderstanding, making her think he was a scumbag. But outside, he was constantly telling others that he already had a wife?


    For a moment, Miranda couldn’t tell if she was moved or annoyed deep inside. She smiled and looked at Savannah, counter-questioning, “Oh? Have you seen me now? Do you have any evaluation of me?”


    As she finished speaking, Savannah snorted lightly, pursed her lips, and said, “Well, it doesn’t seem like there’s anything special about you. You’re decent-looking, but not more beautiful than me. As for other aspects, it seems like you don’t have any advantages.”Belongs to ? n0velDrama.Org.


    Saying this, Savannah stared directly at Miranda, and a sense of feminine tension seemed to rise out of thin air.


    “Is that so? You say I have no advantages,pared to you?” Miranda asked with a smile.


    Savannah seemed to carry a sense of superiority as she said, “That’s right! Let’s not beat around the bush, you and L are simply not from the same world. He is a cultivator! A very powerful one at that. And you’re just an ordinary woman, too weak in his eyes. You’re not suitable for each other!”


    Upon hearing this, Mirandaughed and retorted, “Wrong! I actually think that’s precisely my advantage. What he wants is not arade-in-arms to fight enemies with him, but a woman who needs him to protect her, someone who can showcase his masculinity, isn’t it? It’s because of my vulnerability that he cares about me even more, and he cherishes me. Besides, I’m cultivating too…”


    Savannah’s tone faltered upon hearing this, and she snorted lightly, saying, “You keep iming to be L’s woman, but I don’t think so. I wonder if L is interested in you at all? I’ve heard that your marriage is just for show.”


    She was a peak expert in theter stage of Uppecia, naturally capable of seeing through certain things. Miranda, at the moment, still maintained her purity.


    Miranda’splexion turned unnatural upon hearing this, looking at Savannah’s mocking and taunting expression, a sense of annoyance surged in her heart. She didn’t expect Savannah to say this.


    “He hasn’t touched me, it’s just that…”


    Miranda gritted her teeth, about to say something when someone knocked on the restroom door.


    Bang, bang, bang…


    “Honey? Are you and Miss Graham in there?”


    Outside, L’s voice resounded.


    Upon hearing it was him, both Miranda and Savannah couldn’t help but show a hint of panic on their faces.
