Assassination System Chapter 118 A Strange Gathering

Natalie invited over Mathias and Charlotte, and the two disregarded their remaining schedule for the day and sped towards the direction of the Fragrant Peak Pavilion. Even though Mathias was busy because of the ongoing Selection Process for freshmen. How could he ignore the presence of Takemikazuchi's disciple?
Bearing gifts with him, he arrived at the Fragrant Peak Pavilion with Charlotte.
Upon entering the dining room, Mathias could see that it looked different from normal.
Instead of separating the kitchen from the dining room, Natalie combined it together so those waiting at the table could see how and what the chef was cooking.
"Oh, Senior Mathias and Charlotte, both of you are finally here, come and sit down..." Natalie beckoned.
Both father and daughter were momentarily dumbfounded upon witnessing her gorgeous appearance. With a pure-white apron on her waist, and paired with her hair that was bundled up like a bun. She looked like a virtuous housewife.
"Don't just stand there, you two. Go and take a seat..." Dan held a huge wok with his right hand while his left repeatedly stirred the contents. The fragrant smell of meat, spices, and vegetables wafted in the air.
Mathias and Charlotte couldn't help but gulp a mouthful of saliva and their eyes shone in expectations. Moving towards the dining table, they found an unfamiliar young woman who sat beside Juliet.
The two talked with each other, smiles decorating their faces.
"A visitor?" Charlotte blurted out and the two talking figures turned around to face them.
"Elder Sis Char!" Juliet said with a wide grin as Charlotte's expression melted and immediately walked towards Juliet and gave her a tight hug. Mathias, on the other hand, felt embarrassed and took the opposite seat.
"Then, Juliet, Can you introduce me to this new Sister?" Charlotte asked the little girl and the latter happily obliged. Pointing at Grace who was taken aback, she said, "Elder Sister's name is Sister Grace, Mama said that she is very close with Papa and that she is also a member of the family!"
She opened her arms wide while laughing. Charlotte suffused a wronged expression while saying, "Then how about me, Juliet? Is Sister Char not a member of the family?" Her eyes looked teary and Juliet puffed her cheeks, "No! Elder Sis Char is also family! But Mama said that only Papa can decide if Elder Sis can be family..." She hung her head low, looking somber while Charlotte blushed.
Mathias even choked on his own saliva and glanced at Dan with sharp eyes.
Dan felt a shiver down his spine as Natalie turned towards him and said, "What's wrong? Did you catch a cold?" The former shook his head and said, "No, in the first place, it's impossible for us cultivators to catch a cold..."
"Yeah, right..." Natalie chuckled as she chopped some vegetables with god-like speed.
With Juliet's adorable introduction that she made for Grace. The two women quickly knew each other and started talking about certain topics to which they laughed together. Mathias as a man obviously remained silent and only stared at their joyful figures, feeling satisfied in his heart.
The smell of fresh ingredients constantly wafted in the air. Since the dining table was behind the kitchen. All of them could see the coordination that the husband and wife possessed. Natalie could even predict the moment where Dan needed a certain seasoning while Dan would hand her a certain ingredient at the perfect time.
Their simple textbook movements emanated an aesthetic sensation which entranced all who watched them cook. Even Mathias couldn't take his eye away from the two that by the time they noticed what happened, Dan and Natalie had completed the dishes.
Atop the jade table, numerous dishes ranging from meat, vegetables, and fish could be seen neatly lined up categorized according to what kind of a dish they were.
"I can't believe that the two of you are this good in cooking..." Mathias mumbled while chewing on a piece of fish which literally melted inside his mouth.
Charlotte endlessly fawned over Natalie for the recipes while the little girl Juliet moved beside her father and ate on her own. Grace maintained proper decorum and ate slowly as she could. But when the piece of meat landed on her tongue.
Her eyes flashed in a crimson light and her figure intensely trembled.
"What's wrong, Grace?" Charlotte knitted her eyebrows and Juliet's movements froze, she stared at Grace in concern.
Mathias glanced at Grace, while Natalie's eyebrows locked.
Grace's breathing turned into ragged pants, Dan lifted his head before saying, "You can't hold it anymore?" His eyes flashed in a solemn light and the atmosphere turned tense. All eyes focused on Grace as Dan asked this question.
Grace lifted her head to stare at Dan with desire visible in her eyes. Though she didn't answer his question, the light within her eyes indicated her answer.
She cannot hold it anymore...
Dan's gaze swept over the group as Dan rapidly ordered, "Everyone, quickly take your own portion of food!" When he reached the end of his sentence, Dan's hands blurred and took at least six plates and leaned over the table to cover them.
The group stared at Dan with strange expressions. Though confused, Charlotte, Natalie and Mathias obliged.
Staring at the reddened expression of Grace. Dan sharply inhaled and said, "It's okay! Release it!"
"Yes! Young master!" Grace shouted like a soldier and at the same moment, an aura of utmost greed manifested and turned into a tornado which swept the remaining dishes on the table. Juliet who was in the middle of eating her favorite dessert found that it was missing and when she turned around. She saw Grace munching on it.
"Elder Sis, you bully..." Juliet turned teary and Dan swiftly handed a fresh plate of dessert which pacified the former.
Mathias stared at Grace with widened eyes. "It's almost unbelievable that someone with such a slender frame like you could eat like an elephant..."
The satisfied Grace flinched, and Charlotte chuckled, "To think that I would witness such a miraculous feat, Grace, you really surprised me there..."
"Sister Charlotte, please don't tease me..." Grace mumbled under her breath.
The group eventually finished their meals and it was time for the father and daughter's return. Standing up, they said their farewells and walked towards the sliding door.
But before Charlotte could open the door. Mathias suddenly stopped to look at Natalie.
The latter stared at the former before saying, "Can you tell the instructor that I will be absent for three days, Senior?"
Mathias' eyebrows locked. But he nodded his head before flicking over a cloth bag towards Dan's direction before promptly leaving with Charlotte.
"See you in three days, Elder Sis! Goodbye, Sister Grace!"
"Uhmm! I'll see you in three days, Char~!"
Natalie and Grace waved the two off.
Taking the cloth bag, Dan opened it with a curious expression and found a jade bottle filled with pinkish pills. Dan angled the jade bottle near the light and subconsciously read the label out loud.
"Never Gonna Go Down Pills?"
