Upon hearing Miranda’s question, Lachlan put away his playful demeanor and started to think seriously. He didn’t have much knowledge about Miranda’s Intermediary Soul Physique, this unique constitution she possessed. He had searched through numerous ancient books in the Scripture Repository of the Broken Pulse Sect, but couldn’t find any relevant information. He even asked the Dragon Ancestor’s soul, but all it told Lachlan was that Miranda needed to absorb soul energy to rapidly enhance her physical strength. It could even grant her the ability to manipulate souls. However, it was vague about the specific methods and precautions.
“Honey, don’t worry for now! I heard from the Dragon Ancestor’s soul that your Intermediary Soul Physique requires absorbing souls to enhance your strength. But souls are dangerous and mysterious. Without a clear understanding, I don’t want you to absorb them easily. We don’t want a situation like with the Lord of Evil Spirits to happen again. Your physical strength is already on par with early Nascent Soul stage experts, and your internal strength has reached the peak of the late Uppecia stage, which is already impressive. So, be patient. Now that the Dragon Ancestor’s soul has fallen back into slumber, I’ll ask it in detail next time it wakes up. Promise me that your safety is the most important thing, alright? I’ve already reached the late Golden Core stage, and my true combat power can even contend with mid-Nascent Soul stage experts. So, there’s no need for you to share the burden with me. As long as you can protect our family and yourself, it’s enough!” Lachlan earnestly and affectionately advised.
Listening to his words, although Miranda felt a bit regretful and unwilling, she also felt the sweetness of being cared for. Her eyes filled with affection, and she gently nodded in agreement.
The next moment, her snake-like arms hooked around Lachlan’s neck, and her red lips took the initiative to give him a passionate kiss. Once again, the temperature in the room rose, and Lachlan felt like his soul was about to leave his body!
…
The next morning, several luxury cars were driving on the highway from Slocmore to Kreanford. At the front, Lachlan was driving, with Miranda sitting beside him, and Nora in the back seat. The goddess president, at this moment, had a radiant face, as if she had been nourished like a spring bamboo shoot. In her cold and indifferent temperament, there seemed to be an added touch of charm, making her even more captivating and breathtaking.
As for the cars behind, Shelly and the accompanying personnel from Lowe’s Pharmaceutical were present. This time, Miranda not only successfully negotiated a cooperation with Hazel’s company but also gained the friendship of the Beckman family, the wealthiest family in Slocmore. It was a complete success.
It was worth mentioning that Lachlan’s return was just in time. Today happened to be Emmanuel’s fiftieth birthday, and the family of three was returning to celebrate it.
Around 10:30 in the morning!
The Lowe Mansion in Edoland was particularly lively on this day. Although it wasn’t yet time for the birthday banquet to begin, the entrance was already filled with luxury cars. Mason, accompanied by Dennis and Jeremy, and dressed in smart suits, stood at the entrance of the old mansion, welcoming the guests. Albie, Monty, Anton, Morgan, the chairman of the Banking Supervision Association, and others who had a good relationship with Lachlan, were all present. Eduard, the mayor, also arrived with Scarlet and several family members, bearing generous gifts. Westin, the director of the Punishment and Supervision Bureau, was also in attendance.
Not only that, but many prominent figures who had no previous connection with the Lowe family had also come today. All of this was because the Lowe family had an amazing son-in-law. Once seen as a mere tool, he was now recognized by everyone as a formidable figure.
“Mr. Ward, Miss Ward, you’re here too?”
“Come on!”
At this moment, Mason’s eyes lit up, and he greeted the group of people who were just getting out of the car.
They were none other than Erik, Henry, and Kiera, accompanied by Chloe.
Henry politely nodded at Mason, a hint of regret flashing across his face.
There was a time when he and Mason were equally renowned figures in the Edoland underworld.
But now, Henry knew that he couldn’t compete with Mason anymore.
Even though Mason didn’t take advantage of his power to swallow Henry’s influence, it seemed that he no longer cared about such things.
Mason, look at you, so proud and happy. It’s all because you have a great brother-in-law, right?
Thinking of the scene where Lachlan walked out alive from the Heavenly Thunder in Iylonio, Henry couldn’t help but shudder.
The next moment, he couldn’t help but look at Kiera by his side and sighed inwardly.
Kiera’s beauty was no less than Miranda’s, so why couldn’t she find such an amazing husband?
Lachlan, at best, helped Kiera twice and acted as a shield for her.
Otherwise, Henry could have had an amazing brother-in-law too…
At this moment, as the Ward family entered the old mansion, another group of people arrived.
The leader exuded a dignified aura and walked with a powerful presence.
For ordinary people or even ordinary warriors, this group of people seemed unfathomable.
“The Graham family’s head? You’re here too?”
“Today, the Lowe family is truly shining!” Mason said warmly upon seeing the newcomers.
The leader was none other than Matthias, the head of the Graham family, accompanied by the former head, Raul.
“Mr. Lowe, you’re too polite! We naturally have to come for Mr. Willis’s father-in-law’s birthday celebration,” Matthias clasped his hands, not being pretentious and smiling politely.
Raul, the former head, didn’t speak. He maintained his status and didn’t overshadow Matthias, the current head.
His presence today was merely for the sake of Lachlan’s face.
However, he also showed a friendly demeanor.
After a while…
Although it wasn’t yet time for the banquet, almost all the guests had arrived.
In the Lowe family’s courtyard, various self-service pastries, fruits, and drinks were already prepared, so the guests wouldn’t be left idle before the meal.
People gathered in small groups, chatting and laughing, making it feel like a different kind of grand gathering.
And today, Emmanuel and Cara, the protagonists, had smiles on their faces, radiating joy.
Uncle Owen, George, Jennifer, Miranda’s cousins, and the Lowe family’s extended relatives were almost all present today.
And they were also helping to greet the guests!
The current Lowe family was no longer the one that seemed to be falling apart, filled with internal conflicts.
Emmanuel had become the true head of the Lowe family, and all the Lowe clan’s industries had been integrated into Lowe’s Group along with Lowe’s Pharmaceutical.
The profits had doubled, and unlike Victoria, who tightly held onto her interests, both Emmanuel and Miranda allowed everyone in the family to taste the benefits.
As long as everyone was willing to contribute to the company group, they would receive generous dividends every month!
For a while, people’s hearts were united and filled with an incredible sense of cohesion.
“Hmph!”
At this moment, an old woman sat in the hall of the old mansion, looking at the lively scene outside with a resentful and angry snort.
It was none other than Victoria, who had been sent to the mental rehabilitation center by Cara before.
