âGrandad, youâre amazing!â
Emmeline raised her thumb. âYou guessed it right this time!â
âI guessed it, right?â Oscar was surprised.
âYes, this recipe is not folk. Itâs a secret recipe!â Emmeline said.
âSecret recipe?â Oscar was stunned for a second, âWhat did you say?â
âIt is a secret recipe handed down from the ancestors.â
Adam thought, âWhat is Emmeline talking about?â
âDid the ancestors hand this secret recipe?â Oscar asked.
âYes,â Emmeline said seriously, âYou can check it out.â
Emmelineâs words left Oscar perplexed.
âGrandad, you are very healthy.â Emmeline waved her hand and said, âYou donât need this recipe.â
âHmm,â Oscar nodded, âI donât need it.â
âIâll help you take a look later and see if my ancestors left any secret recipes for longevity. If there are any, Iâll give them to you.â
âOkay.â Oscar nodded.
At this point, he did not know what to say. He just giggled at Adam angrily.
Adamâs face darkened.
He wanted to ask about the Vampire Dust. But if he did, his identity would be exposed.
If Grandad found out he was the lord of the imperial palace, he would be in big trouble. It would not be Emmeline who would suffer, but himself.
But he was not willing to give up.
Suddenly, Adam rushed forward and swung his palm toward Emmelineâs head.
He knew Emmeline was skilled in martial arts and could take dozens of his attacks without a problem.
If she were from the Adelmar Clan, she would surely reveal their unique techniques, which Oscar could recognize.
However, at that moment, a black figure rushed towards them like a whirlwind and barely blocked Adamâs attack.
Then, the figure grabbed Emmeline and turned around, pointing a black pistol at Adamâs head.
It was Abel who had returned!
He held a gun and pressed it against Adamâs temple!
The hall fell silent, and everyone was holding their breath.
Forty minutes ago, Abel landed at Struyria Airport.
He turned off airplane mode on his phone and saw a missed call from Emmeline.
He called Daisy to ask about her. Daisy said that Emmeline had gone to Nightfall Cafe.
Abel then called Sam, who told him Emmeline had not arrived yet.
Abel rushed to the Ryker residence and found that his suspicion was correct. Adam was about to harm Emmeline!
âAbel!â Adamâs voice trembled, âHow could you point a gun at me? You will kill me!â
âDo you even care about the consequences?â Abel held Emmeline tightly and reprimanded him, âAre you still my brother? You mistreated my wife, your sister-in- law, while I was away!â
For a moment, Adam did not know what to say.
âGrandad!â Abel turned his head and asked Oscar, âWhatâs going on? Did you just watch him do such a despicable thing?â
Oscar was also at a loss for words, âYou misunderstood, Abel. Put down your gun first!â
âMisunderstood?â Abel angrily said, âIf I had been here a second later, his palm would have killed Emma!â
âI didnât!â Adam explained with a stiff neck, âI know Emma is skilled. I was just praising her in front of Grandad.â
âThatâs right,â Oscar also went along with him, âSo Adam was testing Emmelineâs skills.â
âBut why do I feel like Grandad and Adam arranged this?â Abel sneered, âAre you using the strategy to trick me?â
