Hero of Hearts — Lord Leaf
Chapter 7326

However, this would have to wait until she selected a suitable candidate and informed Yanni,
Who would then come again to personally deliver the talisman,
And witness the candidate taking the antidote.
For Rachel’s mother’s scholarly family,
This honor and reward were almost unprecedented.
In terms of scale, only the two scholarly families that infiltrated the An family could compare,
But they both lost at the last step.
Unlike them, they had infiltrated not an enemy family,
But the Routhchild family, making the subsequent security much better.
To demonstrate his high regard for the Rachel family,
Youngheart, for the first time ever, hosted a banquet at one of his private residences,
Intending to entertain Rachel and her mother.
This was unprecedented for the scholar family,
And Youngheart dared not publicize it,
Hence, the event was held at his private residence in the Los Angeles Bay Area,
With only his trusted confidants handling the matter to prevent leaks.
Otherwise, if Victoria learned that a powerful figure like the Left Army Commander was hosting a banquet for members of the scholar family,
She would surely become suspicious.
Youngheart’s willingness to risk suspicion by inviting the mother and daughter was precisely to win their hearts through concrete actions.
Rachel’s mother, upon hearing the news, was naturally overjoyed,
And immediately flew to the Bay Area to meet her daughter at Stanford.
Youngheart, accompanied only by Yanni,
Departed directly from Miami for the Bay Area.
At this moment, Youngheart was completely trapped in the pit Charlie had dug.
His mind was now consumed with how to turn his billion dollars into ten billion.
He knew it would take years to accumulate that much money through constant embezzlement,
So his only hope lay with Rachel.
When Rachel learned that Youngheart was coming to the Bay Area to invite her and her mother to dinner,
She immediately understood his intention.
She was equally excited,
But her excitement stemmed from the fact that Youngheart was already on the edge of the pit,
Only one step away from falling in.
At this private family dinner table,
Only Youngheart, Rachel, and her mother were present.
Both Rachel and her mother were inevitably nervous facing Youngheart.
Aside from Rachel’s current cooperation with Charlie,
A scholar before a Grand Commander was like an ordinary citizen before a powerful lord—the difference in social status was simply too great.
Youngheart wanted to use this self-deprecating approach to raise Rachel’s expectations,
Making her feel flattered and thus more loyal to him,
Or more precisely, to find ways to make money for him.
Facing Rachel, Youngheart looked at her with the kind smile of a caring father,
Like a concerned elder in a family,
And asked with concern, “Rachel,”
“How are your studies going?”
“Have you encountered any troubles or problems?”
Rachel respectfully replied,
“Reporting to the Grand Commander,”
“My studies are going quite smoothly,”
“And I haven’t encountered any troubles or problems.”
“Thanks to the Grand Commander’s care and guidance,”
“And after receiving the Dragon Pattern Copper Token and the six-month supply of the antidote,”
“I have much more freedom in my life and relationships.”
After speaking, Rachel looked at her mother beside her and respectfully said to Youngheart,
“I also want to thank the Grand Commander on behalf of my mother.”
“If it weren’t for your kindness,”
“My mother wouldn’t have had the opportunity to receive these things.”
Youngheart was very satisfied with Rachel’s attitude,
And said with a smile,
“Oh, I’ve always been considerate of my subordinates.”
“Your scholar family hasn’t had it easy these past few years.”
“To put it bluntly, there have been too many constraints.”
“But things will get better in the future.”
“As long as you work hard,”
“I believe that before long,”
“Your family will only receive more and more resources!”
