L looked at the two women who walked out of the restroom and his face was filled with suspicion.


    “What were you two doing in there?” he asked.


    Miranda and Savannah exchanged a nce and both shook their heads in unison. The next second, Savannah chuckled lightly, gave L a meaningful look, and walked away.


    L furrowed his brows, looking puzzled as he turned to Miranda. “Honey, what did she say to you?”


    Miranda raised her eyebrows with interest. “What do you think she could have said to me? Or rather, what are you afraid she might tell me? Hmm?”


    L coughed twice. “Nothing… I’m not afraid of anything.”


    Miranda gave him a disdainful look. “Really?”


    She stared at L intently for a moment before asking seriously, “L, have you ever thought that I’m useless? That I’m just a burden on your shoulders?”


    Hearing this question caught L off guard for a moment before he furrowed his brows again and asked, “Why would I think that way about you?” Without hesitation, he grabbed Miranda’s hand tightly while asking, “Why are you asking me this?”


    Miranda felt the warmthing from thatrge hand. She had intended to pull away, but instead, she felt a strange sense of peace. How were they not from the same world? She could feel the warmth he brought, she could enjoy the security he provided!


    At this moment, L grinned at her and said, “Don’t think too much! You are my wife, and even more importantly, you are the only mother Nora recognizes now. Of course, it would be even better if you could fulfill your wifely duties!”


    Upon hearing this, Miranda gave L a disdainful look and replied with a hint of aggression, “Oh? What duties are you talking about? Tell me!”


    L hesitated for a moment, awkwardly shaking his head and saying, “N-nothing, haha…”


    “Hmph! All talk and no action!”


    The goddess CEO cast a contemptuous nce at L.


    …


    It was past three o’clock in the afternoon when L and the others finally left the Graham family.


    The Graham family had dispatched several cars to help L transport a batch of cultivation resources back to Emerald Green Estates. Obtaining thirty percent of the cultivation resources from the Graham family each year was no small amount.


    That day, L divided these cultivation resources into three parts. One part remained at home for himself, Nora, and Miranda to use, another part was taken away by Mason, and the remaining part was sent to the “Lachie Fire” Security Group.


    Although Emerson and Makhi had gone out on a mission, there were still several key members responsible for logistics, including “Virus,” who remained at thepany.


    A few days passed in the blink of an eye. During this time, Emmanuel and Cara were quite busy as they had just taken over the Lowe family and had many family and business matters to attend to. Meanwhile, L noticed that Miranda was acting a bit off.


    The former goddess CEO, despite iming to be a martial artist, had been somewhatzy. However, these past few days, whenever she returned from thepany, she would immediately start meditating and cultivating, often pulling Nora along with her.N?velDrama.Org holds ? this.


    The Fierce Phoenix Heart Sutra was an excellent cultivation technique. As long as there was sufficient spiritual energy and cultivation resources to support it, there were almost no bottlenecks before the Uppecia stage. Combined with L’s guidance and some medicinal assistance, Miranda’s progress had been quite rapid these days, and she had already broken through to the Transmutation Force level. Nora, although a bit slower, had reached the Dark Force level.


    Of course, these were merely the levels of their cultivation realms, and their actualbat strength was probably not worth mentioning…


    Five dayster, in the afternoon, L received a message from Emerson that they had returned from their mission. When he arrived at the securitypany’s building, he unexpectedly ran into a familiar face in the lobby.


    Monty was talking to Emerson, Makhi, and a few other people. He held a silk banner in his hand with the words “Protecting the Employer without Danger, Serving the People with Dedication” written on it, and he handed it to Emerson with a smile.


    “Mr. Ramos, Mr. Harvey, let me tell you, if you need anything in the future, juste to this ‘Lachie Fire’ Security Group!”


    “Thispany is filled with real experts. Thanks to Mr. Hurst and Mr. Davis, I was able to safely transport the batch of raw materials back from Myand!”


    “You guys have no idea. Those private militias in Myand tried to rob my goods, but they were all scared off by Mr. Hurst and his team! Hahaha…”


    Monty said to the several big bosses around him with a serious expression.


    Emerson and Makhi were excited when they saw Monty introducing so many “clients” to them.


    They didn’t expect that Monty would bring his friends along to help promote the “Lachie Fire” Security Group. When L saw this scene, he couldn’t help but smile meaningfully.


    It seemed that Emerson and Makhi had previously taken a job from the owner of Monty’s Jade Wholesale Group.


    “Mr. Atkinson, what a coincidence?” L greeted as he approached.


    When Monty saw L, he paused for a moment and then smiled warmly, “Mr. Willis?”


    His tone changed, “Mr. Willis, are you also here to hire people? Let me tell you, this securitypany is good. I’ve used it before. If you have anyone to protect or anything to escort, you can entrust it to them.”


    Upon hearing this, L nodded with a smile, “Alright.”


    Emerson and Makhi had peculiar expressions, thinking that Monty didn’t know that the behind-the-scenes boss of this securitypany was L.


    At this moment, Monty looked at L, his eyes suddenly brightened, and he showed a slightly embarrassed smile. He rubbed his hands and asked, “Mr. Willis, do you have time? I just received a batch of rough jade stones. Are you interested in taking a look? You can choose whichever piece you like.”


    L raised an eyebrow, considering that he indeed had nothing to do today, so he nodded, “Sure.”


    Of course, he knew that Monty wanted him to have a look and assess the quality of the jade stones.


    “That’s great! Thank you, Mr. Willis, haha…”


    Monty was excited to see L agree, his face filled with joy.


    After exchanging pleasantries with Emerson and Makhi for a while and delivering the silk banner, Monty took L to his jade stone warehouse.


    Inside arge warehouse that resembled a factory, there were piles of rough jade stones.


    “Mr. Willis, it’s this batch. Take your time to choose,” Monty led L to one of the piles.


    The skin of these jade stones seemed to exude a hint of emerald green, and L could feel a faint spiritual aura emanating from them, indicating that they were all high-grade stones.


    He infused his Dragon Energy into his eyes and took a look, nodding in approval, “Mr. Atkinson, you did well with this batch of jade stones! Although some may be mediocre, they ount for less than one-fifth. Overall, it can be considered an excellent batch of materials. Mr. Atkinson, you must have made a big profit this time!”


    Monty’s eyes lit up when he heard this, “Oh? Thank you for your kind words, Mr. Willis.”


    Although L didn’t use amp or observe carefully like other experts, he just gave them a quick nce. However, after witnessing L’s abilities, Monty had full confidence in his judgment.


    “Mr. Willis, feel free to choose whichever piece you like. You can pick several if you want,” Monty said generously, in a bid to please L.


    L smiled. He had originally intended to refuse as it was just a small matter for him, and he didn’t want to take advantage of Monty. However, at that moment, he felt a movement from the Dragon-shaped Jade Pendant in his mustard seed bag. It seemed… something unusual was happening!
