“Master and Madam?” Upon hearing this, Liam Manoban's heart jumped. He thought, They must be this body’s biological parents? Then, wh-what kind of emotions should I bear toward them?

One could not blame Liam Manoban for hesitating.

He had been an orphan back on his previous world. At a young age, his parents had perished in an accident. From a young age, he had lacked the love and care of his kin. Now that he had arrived in this world, and with a new body to boot, he had gained a pair of biological parents. This left him with very complex feelings.

Was he happy? Yes, he felt very happy. After all, having parents to call his own was something that he had only been able to dream about in the past. However, it wasn’t only happiness that he was feeling right now; there was also a sense of perturbation. After all, he was unfamiliar with his “new” parents. He didn’t know their names or their attitude toward the original owner of this body. More importantly, he couldn’t bring himself to call people he was meeting for the first time “father” and “mother.”

This conflicting feeling of both expectancy and apprehension caused him to feel rather perturbed. On the other hand, he still bore the mission from the Great Prodigal System to splurge 100,000 yuan within four hour and the only source of money that he had was from his “new” parents…

It looked like there was just no running away from meeting them.

Liam Manoban was distracted in his thoughts for a while. Then, he tidied up his grooming a little and followed the maid out.

Along the way, although Liam Manoban stayed silent and quietly followed the maid, his eyes were actually busy screening his surroundings. A three-story villa with a large atrium at the center. There is transparent stained glass above, and the stars in the sky are observable through it. The entire first level is a super luxurious living room. The condition of the third level is still unknown, and my room is located in the eastern part of the second level. The total area of this villa structure seems to be around… 3,000 square meters in size. Overall, it looks like this body’s original owner’s family is quite well-to-do. They would probably be considered a family of top plutocrats.

This was definitely good news, as it meant that Liam Manoban had a basic source of wealth to squander so that his attribute points could be raised.

Therefore, his mood lightened up, as he did not have to worry about acquiring money for now. Very quickly, he saw two men and three women in the living room. One of the couples sat facing east, with the man wearing simple home clothing. But even that could not conceal the air of majesty on his face, especially his bushy eyebrows, which emphasized his sense of dignity. The lady by his side was dressed in a light-purple nightdress as she idly rested on him. There was a light smile on her face, and her lips were gently pressed together, exuding a sense of grace and elegance.

They should probably be my parents in this world? Liam thought in his mind.

As for the others in the living room, they were obviously a family of three. The man looked to be in his mid-forties. He was wearing a greenish-gray vest and had light stubble above his lips. In his hand, he was holding a bronze-colored smoking pipe, and his short, shiny black hair was neatly combed to the back of his head. His wife was wearing a black evening gown, and her long, beautiful black hair was bunned high up on her head. Her legs were placed close together with a slant to the side. She looked quite beautiful and sexy.

The last person was a teenage girl around 17 or 18. Her skin was as fair as snow and looked very soft and supple. She wore a white one-piece dress that revealed her white jade-like calves. The girl’s hair reached her shoulders and contrasted with her white dress, which made her hair look even more beautiful. He couldn’t help but stare intently at her. For a moment, Liam’s eyes were bedazzled. He felt like he was in a dream, and his heart thumped like crazy. At the same time, the girl turned her head and saw him approaching. However, she reacted with a frown and turned her head away slightly.
