I am the descendant of a dark wizard, and I will inherit the family fortune.

"Where do you think you'd rank?"

This was not the first time Paven had said this, nor was it the first time Graya had heard it.

Pawen had been telling her this since she was little, "You're just a concubine's daughter, and your mother is just a gardener. Where do you think you rank in the Lanyon family?"

"Your mother became pregnant in the garden and gave birth in the garden. Where do you think your mother ranks in your father's heart?"

“As far as I know, if your mother didn’t have a… bloated back, your father wouldn’t have had the urge to touch a lowly gardener while admiring flowers.

You may not know that from beginning to end, your father never let your mother look back because he didn't want to see the face of a gardener.

So, where do you think you rank in your father's heart?"

Pavin's CPU technology has already reached perfection, and Graya is the stepping stone for her progress.

Graya was constantly suppressed by Pawen and could not raise her head until... she became a wizard.

……

The past is like smoke, vague and uncertain.

Graya once quietly buried them in the deepest part of her heart in the silent and deserted night.

But it is ultimately an unhealable wound in her heart. Whenever it is touched, Graya still feels cold all over and can't help trembling.

Seeing Graya's body tremble slightly, Pawen confirmed that her "switch" was still effective, so she nodded with satisfaction.

"My dear sister, what's wrong with you? Are you feeling unwell?"

Graya's eyes were cold, "You...get out of here!"

"I didn't touch you!" Pavin deliberately raised his hands and even turned around.

Pawen knew when to stop because she knew that the switch should not be turned on frequently, otherwise it might fail if used too much.

"Graya, in that case, our deal is done.

You must do your best to gain the title of the strongest society and then recruit Alexander.

Also, you cannot have any contact with Alexander. If necessary, you must be hostile to him and exclude him!"

"Heh." Graya sneered, "And you're going to comfort him and recruit him?"

"No, no, no, comfort is allowed, but solicitation is not allowed. How can you say solicitation?

I want Alexander to be my partner, my male companion. Alexander has great talent, and I want to keep his talent in the Lanyon family."

Graya: ...

"You really care about your family."

"Hahahahahaha, you're just a little concubine's daughter, so naturally you wouldn't understand these things." Pawen laughed happily and wantonly. She touched her belly as if she was already pregnant.

“Graya, actually Leon is not bad either.

If talent is not taken into consideration, Leon's appearance is more to my liking.

Therefore, I am willing to leave him to you, but on the condition that after your child is born, you must place him in the family and raise him by the family."

Graya turned her head away. She was not interested in the topic and was too lazy to even answer.

Pavin didn't get angry and continued to talk about his plan, "In short, you have to stay away from Alexander, and leave the rest to me.

As a deal, I will not care about Leon injuring Tiliyang and Kaiyan. At the same time, I will pay for their healing potions and ensure that the Sit family will not target Leon.

How about it? Do you have any other conditions? You can tell me all of them at once."

Graya thought about it for a while. At this point, Graya also knew that Paven must have received instructions from his family, or... his father.

Therefore, it is the family's responsibility to make friends with Alexander.

And Pavin is the one who carries out the mission.

Graya clenched her fists and shook her head, but after shaking her head twice, Graya suddenly added: "Similarly, you can't touch Leon."

Pawen was stunned, "Are you worried that I will recruit Leon?"

Graya shook her head. "I'm worried that you'll regret it later."

"Regret? What would I regret?" Pavin smiled, "Oh? No... You don't think Leon is more talented than Alexander, do you?

Hahahaha, dear sister Greya, it seems that you are really confused.

The Vis Islands are just a larger island. History over the years has taught us that a dragon cannot fly in shallow waters."

Graya pushed the hair on one side of her face back, “Alexander is a genius, I wish you success.

By the way, I return this sentence to you, Alexander... You can't grasp it."

After Graya finished speaking, she smiled gently and left the messy meeting room.

Pawen narrowed her eyes slightly, looked at her slender right hand, and then slowly clenched it into a fist.

"I can't grasp it? Then give it a try."

Suddenly, looking at his right hand, Pavin thought of the teasing he had done to Leon before, so he quickly wiped his hands on his clothes.

"Bah! A dragon in the swamp? There are no dragons in the swamp...!"

……

The time came to ten minutes ago.

After Leon went out, he did not choose to go to Graya's room. After all, Josiah said that she often slept and rested there.

Moreover, Leon did intend to keep a distance from Graya. Distance creates beauty, and distance also allows Leon to see the whole picture.

Leon wandered around the corridor casually, and then came face to face with a witch who had a few freckles on her face but was very mature.

Rogola didn't expect Leon to be outside, so she saluted Leon in a panic.

"Master Leon!"

Seeing that she was well-dressed and well-mannered, Leon nodded and said, "No need to be polite. Who are you?"

Rogola introduced herself: "I am Miss Graya's maid, my name is Rogola."

"I see. You're busy, don't worry about me."

Rogola didn't leave. "Master Leon, are you waiting for the young lady?"

Leon nodded and said, “Yes, Miss Graya is discussing something with Miss Pawen. I’ll come out and wait for a while.”

After understanding the reason, Rogola smiled and said, "Master Leon, the young lady often mentions you. She said you are the best wizard among this year's freshmen.

Besides, the lady really wants to be friends with you."

Looking at the maid who spoke well of his master, Leon smiled and teased her deliberately, "Really? But I just heard at the door that Miss Graya said my talent is average."

Rogola's smile disappeared instantly, and the corners of her mouth, which were originally raised, became stiff and even twitched slightly.

After all, she was a professional. Rogola quickly adjusted herself and put on a standard smile again. "Master Leon, please stop teasing me. Master Leon, would you like to sit in the lounge over here for a while? I'll get you something to eat."

"Ah? The lounge? But your lady asked me to wait for her in her room.

I'm looking for Miss Graya's room."

The maid's smile disappeared again.
