“I’m here on a trip with my daughter,” he said.


    “So you’re here to eat too? Come, sit down and have some with us,” L said with a smile.


    “Nora, call them uncle and auntie!”


    Nora’s mouth was red from eating as she waved her little hand at Stephen’s group of five, causing them all to feel fondness towards her.


    Stephen didn’t hesitate either and turned back to the beautiful woman among the three men and one woman, “Sis,e over and sit down with us. This is my buddy L! He’s quite skilled.”


    “L, this is my cousin Jasmine, a beautifulbat officer in the Oswesh Armed Police! These three are my sister’s colleagues who are also good buddies.”


    Stephen initially wanted to introduce L properly, but considering that L was an outsider in the military and there were some confidentiality regtions, he chose to be vague.


    Jasmine, the beautiful military officer, had a wheat-coloredplexion and attractive facial features, somewhat resembling Stephen. She exuded a charm that ordinary beauties didn’t possess.


    “Hello, everyone!” L stood up, shook hands briefly with Jasmine, and then greeted the other three young military officers who introduced themselves.


    The Brooks family was a prominent family in Slocmore with a deep military background. Many members of the family pursued careers in the military, including Jasmine, who was the daughter of the Brooks family.N?velDrama.Org holds ? this.


    Stephen had been assigned to the Ednd security zone for training, while Jasmine had been ced in the military police department on the Yeginia side and had risen to the rank of sub-lieutenant, making her a significant military officer.


    Stephen took the opportunity during his vacation toe and visit his cousin here. As for the other three male colleagues of Jasmine, they were also second-generation individuals with a military background who hade here to gain experience.


    Otherwise, they wouldn’t be able to fit into the same circle and couldn’t possibly socialize together.


    Within these departments, the self-made military officers who had climbed up step by step without any background actually looked down on these second-generation individuals.


    Likewise, these second-generation individuals looked down on those without a background.


    Next, L asked the waiter to bring another table and ordered a variety of dishes. The group sat together and started eating.


    Jasmine, the beautiful military officer, couldn’t help but scrutinize L, feeling curious. She could sense the respect, even admiration, that Stephen had for L.


    She knew her cousin better than anyone else. Stephen, as the youngest member of the Brooks family, was quite rebellious. When had he ever shown such respect to someone, especially someone of the same age?


    She wondered what was special about this L.


    “Miss Brooks, is there something on your mind?” L felt Stephen’s cousin’s gaze and smiled, asking.


    “Nothing.” Jasmine shook her head and averted her gaze.


    It was a bit embarrassing to be caught secretly observing a man. Luckily, her healthy wheat-colored skin made it hard to tell if she was blushing.


    At that moment, one of the young military officers who apanied Jasmine showed a hint of displeasure in his eyes. In the next second, he smiled and asked L, “Mr. Willis, what does your family do? How did you meet Stephen?”


    His name was Zion Burke, and his family background was no weaker than the Brooks family’s. Most importantly, he was pursuing Jasmine.


    Seeing the woman he liked paying extra attention to another man made him feel a twinge of jealousy.


    “We met while having a drink,” L replied casually.


    “While having a drink? If you can have a drink with Stephen, your family must be extraordinary. Which family do youe from?” Another young military officer chimed in, supporting Zion’s question.


    “My family is nothing special, just an ordinary family! Drinking with Stephen was with someone else,” L raised an eyebrow and casually replied.


    Stephen sat there, moving his lips slightly, not saying a word when he heard L’s words.


    It was true that he had met L while drinking, and L was indeed with someone else. But it was with his brother-inw Mason…


    At that time, they almost helped Mason to drink himself to death along with Orion…


    “Oh, so you met Stephen while being with someone else, L!” Zion heard this and chuckled, with a hint of disdain in his words.


    They had no interest in getting to know people without backgrounds. They didn’t leave immediately only because of Stephen’s face. The other two young military officers also showed a hint of indifference, although not so obvious.


    Stephen coughed and nced at L.


    L smiled and greeted him, not caring at all. “Come, let’s eat, don’t be polite,” L said, and Stephen agreed, knowing that L didn’t care about them at all.


    At the same time, he sneered inwardly at Zion and the other two.


    He thought L had no background, but could someone without a background single-handedly defeat four Grandmasters? Did he need a background? He himself was the background!


    If these three guys knew that L held the Priocia Decree, along with the title of Honorary Grand Marshal, and had even been personally received by the Commander-in-Chief, he wondered what expression they would have.


    Of course, L wouldn’t say anything, and he wouldn’t interfere.


    At that moment, L had a thought and turned to Jasmine to ask. “By the way, Miss Brooks, there’s something I want to ask you.”


    Jasmine smiled and said, “Since you’re friends with Stephen, don’t call me Miss Brooks all the time, just call me Jasmine.” She didn’t look down on L because he had no background.


    And for some reason, his confident andposed manner gave her a good impression.


    She felt that L had a special aura about him.


    Hearing Jasmine’s words, Zion discreetly furrowed his brow, bing even more displeased with L.


    “Okay, Jasmine, do you know about the Great Joy Corporation?” L asked, changing his tone.


    As soon as the words fell, apart from Stephen, the expressions of Jasmine and the other four people changed. In the next moment, Jasmine nodded and said in a solemn tone, “The Great Joy Corporation? Of course, I know! To be precise, there’s no one in Oswesh who doesn’t know about it. What’s the matter?”


    “Oh? No one doesn’t know about it? Is this corporation powerful?” L raised an eyebrow and asked.


    Jasmine nodded, her expression serious. “Very powerful! They are rampant in Oswesh and give us a lot of headaches. L, why are you asking about them? You didn’t get involved with them, did you?”


    L smiled and said without hesitation, “I did get involved. The young master of the Great Joy gave me a lesson, and I disabled one of their experts.”


    Hearing this, Jasmine and the four people, including Zion, had a sudden change in their expressions.
