The Family's Grand Master, Truly Terrifying

"Pfft!"

Hearing this, Lucas sprayed out his milk.

Well, when only legs step out first, what else was he supposed to look at?

The woman finally emerged completely from the car.

She wore a professional pencil dress, white blouse tucked in, accentuating her slim waist, with wavy hair cascading over both shoulders, its edges gilded by sunlight.

Her face was fair and pretty, with sunglasses perched on her elegant nose.

The aura of a sophisticated city woman washed over them.

"Just kidding, young hero."

Miss Aria pushed her sunglasses up slightly with slender fingers, revealing fox-like eyes as she smiled:

"Let me introduce myself, I'm Aria, Luna's aunt. I just returned from America yesterday."

She extended her hand, red lips parting as she spoke in a melodious voice.

"Luna was supposed to spend today with me, but she kept talking about you, and I heard you saved her before, so I wanted to meet this young hero."

"Now that I see you, you're indeed handsome and cute."

Truthfully, Lucas considered himself able to maintain composure against most people.

But here, he seemed to have met his match.

He also extended his hand, lightly grasping those delicate fingers, politely saying: "Hello Aunt, I'm Lucas."

Noticing those fox-like eyes subtly examining him.

Lucas maintained his composure, about to withdraw his hand.

But suddenly felt a strange force.

The next moment.

A gentle breeze brushed his ear.

His face was buried in an indescribably soft embrace, a subtle fragrance seeping into his senses.

"What a mature little hero, auntie loves little boys like you the most!"

Aria's hand pressed on Lucas's head, lovingly ruffling his hair, her alluring eyes sparkling with joy.

This was true.

She really loved children.

Especially ones like Lucas, cute yet trying to act mature - hugging them and watching their helpless expressions.

It gave her great satisfaction.

Plus, upon seeing Lucas, she found this boy interesting, lacking the childishness of other kids, remaining composed under her teasing, mature in a way that didn't seem fake.

In other words, he hit all her preferences.

She liked this little boy at first sight, not to mention her niece's high praise of him.

Of course, Lucas's high Charisma stat played a role, though she couldn't detect this.

After a while, seeing her aunt showing no signs of letting go.

Luna, who had witnessed everything, grew anxious and quickly pulled her aunt's hand, saying coolly: "Auntie, you're suffocating Lucas!"

Before Aria went abroad, Luna had been a victim of this move herself, well aware of its power.

Thunder so great, breathing impossible.

Aria finally released him reluctantly.

Lucas stumbled back two steps, feeling dizzy, his mind full of soft fragrance... no, the feeling of near suffocation.

Luna quickly steadied him, giving her aunt a cool look, huffing: "Auntie, bad!"

[As expected of a Grand Master! Such unfathomable power! Using mere technique to render you, a Dragon Emperor, helpless, nearly defeating you! Truly terrifying!]

[Due to her using an indescribable secret technique on you, Charisma +1]

[You remain wary, silently noting to be cautious around her until your Life Force recovers!]

Aria smiled with narrowed eyes, "Alright, I'll stop teasing you two little ones. Let's find somewhere to sit and chat."

Lucas took a deep breath, his head buzzing, feeling this aunt might have some questionable habits, but lacking proof.

He could only nod, "Okay."

The Range Rover was driven away by the chauffeur.

The three found a nearby bubble tea shop.

Sitting around a small table.

"What flavor would you like?" Aunt asked with a smile.

Luna looked at Lucas, seeing him silent, said: "Taro flavor."

Lucas, pondering her purpose in seeking him out, said casually: "Original."

Hearing this, Luna immediately changed her order: "Auntie, I want original too!"

Aunt smiled meaningfully, "What's this, Luna? Didn't you always like taro flavor like auntie? You used to say you liked whatever auntie liked."

Luna pretended not to understand, maintaining her cool expression, her big eyes sparkling, "Auntie, bad!"

Aunt stopped teasing her, turning to order three original bubble teas.

While waiting.

Aunt chatted casually with Lucas.

Just general conversation, asking about school and grades.

Lucas naturally answered truthfully.

The conversation eventually turned to Luna.

Aunt sighed.

"I've been abroad for three years managing business there, so I haven't seen Luna. Though she seems friendly around you, this child has actually been quite aloof and cold since she was little."

Lucas glanced at Luna.

Luna sat properly in her chair, blinking her big eyes at him.

As if saying: I'm not aloof or cold.

"So, don't think too much about why I came to find you today."

Aunt pinched Lucas's springy cheeks, "I simply wanted to see what kind of boy could become friends with Luna."

After their interaction, she was quite satisfied.

Lucas's cheeks were smooth and delicate, feeling very nice, leaving Aunt wanting more.

But seeing Lucas's slightly disapproving look, she abandoned the idea of more pinches.

The bubble tea arrived.

The three left the shop with their drinks.

Lucas invited Aunt to visit his home, but she politely declined.

Luna stuck to his side as usual, holding her drink daintily, cherry-like lips sipping bubble tea as she nodded murmuring: "Lucas, play."

Clearly wanting to go home with Lucas.

Aunt ruffled Luna's hair, feigning heartbreak, "Wasn't little Luna going to spend today with auntie? As soon as you see your Lucas, you forget about auntie, I'm so hurt!"

Luna huffed twice, finally saying reluctantly: "Then... I'll stay with auntie today."

So, after walking a bit.

With Luna's lingering waves, she and aunt boarded the Range Rover and drove away.

Lucas returned home.

To find Sarah had returned early, looking extremely excited.

Seeing Lucas.

Sarah immediately came over, took his hand and kissed his cheek, saying happily:

"Lucas, guess what? Mom won big today!"

Before Lucas could ask.

Sarah burst out with the news, pulling him to the sofa, beaming, "Lucas, after mahjong Mom went grocery shopping, you know?"

"The supermarket had a promotion today, every hundred dollars spent got one prize draw!"

Lucas immediately understood.

Mom was addicted to these things.

Even winning two rolls of toilet paper would make her happy all day.

Lucas nodded repeatedly, giving thumbs up, "Amazing!"

Though he knew the answer, emotional support was important.

Sarah smiled brightly, "Guess what Mom won?"

Lucas thought for a moment, guessing: "Rice cooker? Toilet paper? Or cooking oil?"

What big prizes could a supermarket have besides these?

Sarah shook her finger mysteriously, taking out a scratched lottery ticket from her bag, unfolding it before Lucas.

"Ta-da!"

"Super grand prize, $200,000!"

"And it was your birthday number!"
