“Fine for now? Hahaha…”


    “That little brat, is she in the hands of my great-grandfather yet?”


    “Guess what, if my great-grandfather finds out that you’ve turned me into this, how will he treat your daughter? Hahaha…”


    At this point, Kevin red at Miranda and L with resentment.


    “If I kill you, Wicked Bone won’t dare to touch my daughter for a while! If you keep yelling, I’ll send you on your way. Do you believe me?”


    L’s tone was menacing and his eyes showed a hint of intimidation.


    Why did he reveal his biggest secret to Summer in order to get Wicked Bone’s attention? It was all for Nora’s safety.


    Kevin was indeed a bargaining chip but letting Wicked Bone know that he had inherited something made him the biggest bargaining chip now.


    “You…”


    Kevin had both his arms and legs broken by Miranda. He felt L’s killing intent and hesitated for a moment.


    The next second, his eyes flickered a few times as he gritted his teeth and said, “I don’t believe you dare to kill me! Trade me for your daughter! We’re rted by blood. My great-grandfather loves me very much.”


    L sneered without bothering to waste any more words with him.


    At this time, Miranda went over and knocked Kevin unconscious. Then she asked with concern on her face, “L, who has Nora fallen into the hands of? Is it very dangerous? When the timees, I’ll go with you! I now have the strength to fight alongside you!”


    Feeling Miranda’s strong affection and unwavering determination, L felt deeply touched. However, he shook his head and said, “Darling, I can handle this on my own! You don’t need to worry…”


    Indeed, Miranda’s current strength was formidable,parable to thete Nascent Soul stage or even its peak. ording to Summer, Wicked Bone’s strength was in the early Nascent Soul stage, and it seemed that Miranda was even stronger than him.


    But let’s not forget that besides brute force, Wicked Bone had many other unorthodox methods. Moreover, this time they might not only face Wicked Bone alone, but also the secretive Willis family, and even the ancient Willis family. No one knew what consequences revealing his inheritance would bring or what kind of figures it would attract. So L didn’t want Miranda to take risks as well!


    Furthermore, L thought of another helper. Instead of risking Miranda’s safety, wouldn’t it be better to seek help from someone else?


    Upon hearing this, Miranda furrowed her brows and asked with a hint of dissatisfaction and resentment, “You can handle it yourself? L, do you really consider me your wife?”


    L smiled and said, “It’s because I consider you my wife that I don’t want you toe along. Trust me, I can handle it. This matter is a bitplicated, so you shouldn’t get involved.”


    “Can you really handle it? Kevin’s great-grandfather is surely very powerful, right? Is he a prominent figure in the secretive Willis family? I must go with you!”


    Miranda’s brows furrowed, and there seemed to be a hint of unwillingness and unquestionable determination in her beautiful eyes. At this moment, she seemed strong-willed once again.


    L sighed helplessly, feeling somewhat powerless in the face of Miranda’s determination. “Well… let’s see.”


    He perfunctorily responded and didn’t say much more.


    “Now what should we do? Shouldn’t we contact Wicked Bone immediately? Nora is in his hands, shouldn’t we negotiate with him as soon as possible?”


    Miranda, deeply concerned about Nora’s safety, asked anxiously.


    L nced at Kevin and shook his head. “No rush, stay calm!”


    “I’ll wait, let Wicked Bone take the initiative to contact me.”


    …


    On the other side, after finishing the call with L, Summer pretended to perform the Soulsearching Art towards the air and then opened the iron door of the basement and walked out.


    Seeing that there was no one outside, Summer secretly breathed a sigh of relief.


    “Hmph! It seems Wicked Bone still absolutely trusts me.”


    She thought to herself. She felt that she had truly captivated Wicked Bone, and with his infatuation towards her, he naturally wouldn’t suspect anything.


    It was her own over-cautiousness…


    She nced back at Nora, who was sitting on the ground with a silly smile on her face, and felt relieved. She walked up the stairs and arrived in the living room on the first floor, where Wicked Bone was casually enjoying the local specialty oil tea.


    When Wicked Bone saw Summering up, a smile appeared on his face. “Summer, how did it go? Is it done?”


    Summer nodded, excitement showing on her face. She smiled proudly at Wicked Bone and said, “Master, I did discover something! The clues found in that brat’s memory will definitely surprise you.”


    “Oh?” Wicked Bone’s face flickered upon hearing this, a hint of anticipation showing. “Really? Did you find the clues to the Dragon-shaped Jade Pendant from that brat’s memory?”


    Summer nodded and then shook her head, seemingly extremely excited and ted. “Not only the clues to the Dragon-shaped Jade Pendant…”


    After a moment…


    Listening to Summer’s ount, Wicked Bone sat there, his face changing constantly.Please check at N/?vel(D)rama.Org.


    “By that logic, the Dragon-shaped Jade Pendant is on L’s body! Moreover, he has already obtained the inheritance?”


    Summer nodded, “Yes! Based on the analysis of L’s daughter’s memories, it seems to be the case. Otherwise, a person cannot suddenly be so powerful. Master, I never expected that we would search tirelessly for the whereabouts of the Dragon-shaped Jade Pendant, only to find out that he had already obtained the inheritance. But it doesn’t matter, as long as I use L’s daughter as leverage, I can deceive L and find a way to obtain the inheritance from him. If necessary, you can use the Soulsearching Art on L to obtain his memories.”


    At this point, Summer’s eyes flickered for a moment, and she continued, “But in that case, we can no longer harm L’s daughter. At the very least, she should remain alive, so as not to alert L and ruin our ns.”


    Wicked Bone sat there, his tone chilling as he asked, “What about that brat? Is he still in the basement?”


    Summer nodded, “Yes, I have locked him up! Poor child. After being subjected to the Soulsearching Art, she has bepletely foolish. Hehehe…”


    With those words, Wicked Bone nodded, his gaze flickering with a strange light. “Great! Truly great…”


    Summer was taken aback for a moment, hearing Wicked Bone’s inexplicable words. She couldn’tprehend and asked, “Master, what do you mean by ‘great’?”


    Wicked Bone turned to look at her, smiling with interest. “L’s fatherly love, it is truly great, isn’t it, Summer?”


    Summer stood there, her expression freezing, and her heart suddenly skipped a beat. “Master, what are you talking about?”


    “I… I don’t quite understand,” she added, puzzled.
