Martin watched as Joel's favorability rating increased, and he couldn't help but sigh.

Receiving consecutive "fantastic" reviews led to a rapid increase in positive feelings towards the person, which quickly surpassed the level of liking.

His experience with Shave and Observation Haki has also increased dramatically. He can even clearly feel that he has become more proficient in using Observation Haki and Shave.

I reckon the Divine Spear will be released soon.

You have to be careful and take it slow, otherwise there's a risk of your kidneys bursting.

Exhausted, Martin quickly finished his dinner and went straight to sleep.

He slept soundly through the night without any dreams, and didn't open his eyes until noon the next day.

The fatigue had completely vanished, so I simply stayed in bed, enjoying the comfort of relaxation.

This is the benefit of a strong physique; a physique of around thirty also makes the kidneys exceptionally strong and able to withstand exertion.

If you're tired, a good night's sleep will usually restore you to normal.

"Honey, are you awake... You can really sleep. You've been sleeping since last night, and you've been snoring nonstop."

Then Robin appeared in the bedroom with a spoon: "Get up, lunch is ready."

Seeing his wife standing at the door calling out, Martin got up and changed his clothes to cover up his wounds.

Then, with a limp gait that seemed to ignore everyone, she sat down at the dining table in the living room on the first floor.

At this moment, the sun is shining brightly, the sky is bright, and the clock is almost twelve o'clock—it's the perfect time.

The table was laden with all sorts of food, and it felt like there were even more dishes than usual; it was exceptionally lavish.

Feeling something was off, Martin glanced at the dishes on the table and noticed several strange dishes that he had never seen before.

Round, egg-shaped, long, whip-shaped, and so on, they look so confusing yet so familiar.

"Honey, what are you doing?"

Martin asked Robin, somewhat puzzled.

"It's nothing, just some cow testicles, sheep testicles, fish testicles, and sea king penis, which cost quite a bit of money."

As Robin answered, he placed the steaming plate on the table.

Martin was startled and a little excited upon hearing this, feeling a sense of kinship with someone who understands him: "Wife, you understand me!"

"By the way, don't move yet, we'll have a customer soon."

Robin came over carrying a plate of food.

"guest?"

Martin was very surprised.

Why are there guests again?

Could it be...?

bang bang bang...

Speak of the devil, and he appears; just then, there was a knock on the door.

Robin immediately went to open the door. Mrs. Joel was standing outside. She was wearing a pink fitted dress, black stockings, and black leather shoes. Her cheeks were unusually rosy, and she was carrying a large suitcase.

"Sorry to bother you, I'll be troubling you from today onwards."

"It's nothing, don't be so polite. Come on in and have lunch."

With that, Robin invited Joel into the house.

As usual, Joel brought several bottles of red wine, including a gift from Martin.

Under Martin's awkward and speechless gaze, Joel simply sat down opposite him.

The two avoided eye contact, both looking down at the dishes on the table.

They had been completely open with each other before, but now they couldn't look each other in the eye, making the atmosphere a little strange. So they simply ate their lunch in silence, while also drinking a few sips of red wine.

Martin simply shifted his focus. Having expended a lot of energy earlier, he was now starving and ate voraciously while barely maintaining his composure.

Martin was about 70-80% full when he suddenly felt a leg under the table put on his calf and slowly extend upwards.

What are you doing?

Robin?

We're an old married couple, why are you still doing this? Can't you go back to your room and flirt with her there?

Something's not right. This foot is smaller than Robin's, and the muscle definition seems fuller.

full?

Martin looked at Joel, who was drinking soup, and gently pinched the foot with his hand.

Wearing black stockings!

These are Joel's feet.

What are you doing under the table? Don't you think I've given you enough?

Then look at Joel, his face is flushed, and there's a strange smile on his lips.

Whoops!

You're such a lovable little devil.

Martin couldn't help but want to complain.

Just then, a leg stretched out from my right leg and draped down my calf to my knee.

Martin put down his cutlery, wiped his mouth, and touched the foot with his right hand. The other person was wearing slippers and had a perfectly arched foot.

These are my wife's feet!

I just finished eating, and now I have a mission?

He understood perfectly well what it meant that both women were simultaneously sticking their feet out under the table, but he didn't want to understand.

Are you two kidding me?

"Yor, didn't you say your house was burgled? And they even damaged the furniture and floors?"

Robin suddenly asked his female neighbor.

"um, yes."

Joel nodded slightly, stealing a glance at Martin.

"Then stay at my place for now, and we'll talk about it after the pirate crisis is over. It's dangerous for you to live alone, and you're so beautiful."

Robin warmly clinked glasses with Joel: "My husband is very strong and a retired naval warrant officer, so he can protect us very well."

The two exchanged a meaningful glance, their eyes slightly lingering.

"Wait!"

Martin stood up abruptly, looked at the two women, and said with a bright look in his eyes, "You two did this on purpose, didn't you?"

He suddenly realized something and immediately switched into detective mode: "Yor, you deliberately lay in bed waiting for me that night, didn't you?"

"And wife, that night you deliberately gave me and Joel the opportunity to sleep together. With your intelligence, you couldn't have failed to see what happened between Joel and me, could you?"

"So...you two were plotting this!"

The two women opposite remained silent.

Joel's eyes were somewhat dazed, his face flushed again, and he looked at Robin, seemingly a little flustered.

Robin nodded calmly, his eyes clear and bright:

"Yes, everything was arranged and suggested by me."

"Lorna, you can't just say that," Joel exclaimed.

“It’s okay, Sister Joel. My husband is very smart and open-minded. It’s easier to just say it directly.”

"I know about what happened between you yesterday."

Martin asked his wife sternly, "Why?"

Robin bluntly stated, "Honey, you're great in every way, except you have a bit too much energy. I... I'm all swollen!"

Martin: ...

"Besides, Sister Joel admires you a lot, and I can tell that you also like Sister Joel's type, right?"

Martin was speechless.

"Don't worry, I'm not that selfish. I know how to share."

Robin gave a rational and calm smile: "Love is not about possessing, love is not about selfishness, but about wanting that person to be happy and content, and wanting them to be happy, while also being able to be happy myself."

"Actually, men are like sand in your hand; the tighter you hold them, the easier it is to lose them."

"My choice is to share some sand with my sisters!"

"That way everyone can be happy."

Joel nodded: "I'm sorry, Mr. Martin, I didn't tell you about this beforehand. I hope you can forgive me..."

Robin scoffed, "We just stretched out our legs on both of them, so you can choose one."

Martin took a deep breath, quickly relaxed, and a playful smile appeared on his lips.

He walked over to the two women, placing one hand on Robin's back and the other on Joel's back: "I understand what you mean. Thank you, Rona, and thank you, Joel. I hope everyone will be happy from now on."

"From now on, we're all one family."

"As for choices... only children make choices, adults want it all."

After saying that, he picked up the two men by the waist, carrying Joel in his left hand and Robin in his right, and quickly carried them upstairs as if they were two bags of treasure.
