Chapter 160
Although the gif prepared by Quentin had a somewhat time–travel theme, it was not completely unacceptable to Pearl
Quentin had been a tool enthusiast since he was young. When Pearl was just five years old, he stuffed a gun into her hand at her birthday party just as her small hand could hold something firmly
At that moment, the air suddenly became quiet.
Twenty years later, Quentin still gave Pearl a cold tool, but it was much better t
than the gun he had given before,
“Don’t underestimate this crossbow. It looks like a slingshot, but its power is not inferior to a handgun
Quentin explained to Pearl how to use the crossbow. “Press here. If you want to play a prank, put a toothpick in the groove. If anyone makes you angry or bullies you, you can also put a needle in it, and it can easily penetrate five centimeters of one’s belly”
As the two of them demonstrated, the other brothers dodged one after another with vigilant expressions as if to say, “Don’t mess with me”
The principles of making these cold tools were similar. With a little teaching, Pearl quickly learned them. She casually took a toothpick from the table and placed it in the groove. She almed it at a bottle of beverage by the wall, pressed the switch, and it shot over
The bottle was pierced, and water dripped down.
Heary, Noah, and Hubert all took a step back. Countless painful experiences in the past had taught them to stay away from the dangerous siblings. Their lives were more insportant
“How is it! Not bad, right?” Quentin looked smug
Pearl put away the crossbow and played with it in her palm. It was small and exquisite, easy to carry. She nodded in satisfaction. “It’s very good. I like it. Thank you, Quentin!”
“You’re welcome.”
Quentin smiled and looked at the table full of delicacies. His eyes lit up. “Did you make all this? When do we start the banquet? I’m starving!” Pearl kept the crossbow and said, “We can start it now. There’s also a soup. It’ll be ready soon!
As she spoke, Connor brought out the soup.
“Miss Pearl, can we start the banquet now?”
Pearl nodded and said, “Yes, we can start”
Looking at the smiley face necklace around Pearl’s neck, Connor smiled brightly and said, “Alright, I’ll bring out the cake now
Noah looked up at Connor and asked Pearl, “I wanted to ask you just now, who is this handsome guy? Why does he call you Miss Pearl one moment and call you Pearl the next?”
Only then did Pearl remember that she had not officially introduced him to them. She took a few steps forward and patted Connor’s shoulder. She smiled and said. “This is my nephew–disciple, the rising star and recent apprentice, Connor Smith. He’s an apprentice here, but his main job is as a basketball player. Please take care of him and don’t bully him”
Connor’s face was slightly red as he greeted everyone calmly and generously.
Noal teased, “You’ve advanced in seniority pretty quickly. Some people become mothers at a young age, but you’ve become a grandmother at a young age, and that makes the rest of us grandfathers”
“Well, these are two separate matters. You guys better not try to take advantage of my lile disciple.
Pearl g
glared at them sternly and said to Consor, Don’t mind them. They’re used to talking freely and don’t have any ill intentions. Let’s talk about our own maliem. Since they’re not part of the Couper family, you can address them as brothers‘ like I do
Connor nodded obediently, not showing any sign of annoyance from being teased.
“You guys eat first. I go get the cake
As soon as Connor Ich, Noah gave Pearl a meaningful g
glaner, saying. “You’re quite protective. You don’t let him suffer at all”
Pearl soul, “Of course, you bunch of bad guys don’t even think about bullying my little friend
“Okay, okay. We won’t belly him”

Noah opened the whiskey that he had been longing for for a long time. When Pearl took it and poured the warmed wine for his brothers, Quentin took off his wet coat and asked. 1. Oliver really unable to come!”
up without him.”
“Yes” Pearl said, “Oliver called me this morning. He said that he was busy and couldn’t leave. He asked us to go ahead and meet up
Hubert wrinkled his nose. “Oliver is just making excuses. He clearly doesn’t want to see us and wants to meet with you alone, right? In his eyes, you are the real family, and the rest of us brothers are just extras, like adding credit to a phone.”
Noah retorted. “We’re not even a phone credit, we’re something he picked up from the trash can.”
Henry sided gray “Well, don’t blame Oliver. He has never liked crowds. He’s probably afraid that once he comes, he’ll make it like an international conference and dampen our spirits.”
“That’s right, 11 doesn’t matter if he comes or not. Has he given you a gift!” Quentin emphasized the main point.
Pearl nodded. “Th
“What did he give? The brothers all turned their heads towards Pearl, their faces full of curiosity.
Pearl said. “He gave me an island”
Everyone tumed silent.
The four brothers pursed their lips and looked at each other. Then they raised their glasses at the same time. “Cheers, let’s have a drink.”
Looking at her brothers envious and jealous expressions. Pearl could not help but chuckle. Oliver’s favoritism towards her had always been blatant The other brothers disliked it and couldn’t do anything about it. They dared not express their anger and had no choice but to endure it.
rare for the siblings to gather together, and it was even rarer for Pearl to cook. As they ate and drank, they were quite happy.
It was rare f
As soon as the atmosphere became lively, Noah and Hubert looked at each other and said. “Pearl, you’re all dressed up in costumes. How about performing a show for meryone?”
“No” Pearl rejected him outright. “I don’t know how to sing or dance. What kind of show should I perform? Should I smash a rock in my chest?” Quentin said, “It’s not impossible.
Pearl grabbed a handful of melon seeds and threw them in his face. “Get out of here!”
Why don’t you know how to sing? You sing so well. It’s like the sound of nature, like a lark”
Noah spared no effort in praising his sister. “Really! Even Charlie complimented your singing as unique, with a distinct flavor that most people can’t replicate
Hubert chimed in. “Not only do you sing, but you also dance very well. The dance you performed at Beverland Hotel last time stunned everyone, attracting the admiration of numerous men”
“Was that dancing! That’s called clubbing. It’s different Pearl clarified.
Pearl was not bewitched by their persuasion
“Its the same, how can they be different”
Noah and Hubert refused to give up, insisting that Pearl sing or dance, or they would definitely not let her go tonight.
Pearl was annoyed by their persistence. She threw the melon seeds in her hand into the small basket and clapped her hands. “Alright, I’ll sing for yout It’s just singing a song, what’s the big deal? But, don’t laugh at me if I don’t sing well.”
“We won’t laugh, we promise. We’ll give you a round of applause!”
Quentin and Henry sat at the side, eating melon seeds and watching them play. Quentin asked Henry softly, “Are you ready?”
Henry replied softly. “I was prepared
-Then, they both took out two pair of earplugs from their pocket and secretly put them on
Noah and Hubert gave Pearl a famous song, titled Eighteen Turns on the Mountain Road. Pearl cleared her throat and started singing, “Oh, descendants of the mountain.”
Connor was startled in the kitchen, thinking that there was some kind of valve burst outside. He lifted the curtain and walked out to see Pearl holding a microphone with her eyes closed, and she looked very intoxicated
It turned out she was singing.
Quentin and Henry had already secretly taken off their earplugs and pretended to clap. “Great, Pearl, you’re as Pearl had also enjoyed herself and put down the microphone, saying, “I know I don’t sing well, but it wasn’t that funny, was it?” She dragged Noah and Hubert, who were about to faint from laughing, out from under the table and punched them each.
