Molie gazed at the trio of venerable octogenarians before him, his attention drawn to Maria, who stood beside him, still exuding a childlike aura that left him momentarily perplexed.

The three elderly men were undeniably ancient, their wealth of experience and wisdom evident even in their limited interactions. Yet, when faced with Maria, they seemed like children obediently following their parents instructions.

Though Maria herself appeared youthful, her demeanor toward the elderly trio was strict, akin to that of a stern parent, creating an intriguing contrast that left Molie feeling somewhat out of place.

Shaking off his confusion, he politely addressed them, “Please, the three of you may rise.”

However, the old men merely lifted their heads to look at Maria in unison.

Unperturbed, Maria nodded calmly and said, “Since Mr. Wade has spoken, you may all stand up.”

The trio helped each other up and though Molie was tempted to assist, Maria’s words stopped him, “Young Master, they can manage on their own.”

Awkwardly nodding, Molie withdrew his hand.

After they were on their feet, Molie hastened to say, “Gentlemen, I urge you to take the Rejuvenation Pill as soon as possible. It will greatly improve your health.”

Still, the elderly trio remained silent, their attention fixed on Maria once again.

Maria nodded approvingly and stated, “Master Wade has advised you to take it, so you should.”
