Free Web NovelChapter 188: Chapter 188: Terrified Butler, Five Brats Arrive, Still a Gardener?
At this moment.
Looking at the handful of unruly kids.
The Dragon Country audience wore strange expressions.
[Such perfunctory names. Are the adults at the orphanage this unreliable?]
[They just barged into Eternal Night Manor. Aren’t they in danger?]
[Probably not. Gu Yuan must have guessed they’d sneak out. By the way, are these kids all Crimson-robed Ghosts?]
[Why does this last kid look so much like Gu Yuan? Is he his little brother?]
[Relax, Yun Zhenyue won’t just stand by and watch. Don’t forget she still has that little paper doll.]
[Does anyone still remember Sam? He didn’t croak, did he?]
...
Meanwhile,
His head swimming, Sam slowly regained consciousness.
His last memory was of wanting to tear Yun Zhenyue to shreds.
’What happened after that?’
’How did I suddenly pass out?’
Sam stood up and belatedly felt the back of his head. He found a large lump, and the pain was so intense that tears welled up in his eyes, and he almost burst out crying.
This was the first time he had ever experienced such excruciating pain!
He had always been protected by his father, like a canary in a cage. No one had ever dared to treat him this way!
"Damn it... Who the hell—"
Sam’s eyes blazed with fury.
’Who was it?’
’Who dared to ambush him, the young master of the manor!’
The voices of a group of children lingered in his mind.
’Was it that group of little brats who ambushed me?’
’Bastards!’
’I’ll turn them all into collector’s items!’
Clutching the large lump on the back of his head, Sam’s expression was grim. As he walked out of the cellar, he happened upon the Blood Race butler who had been looking for him.
"Young Master... you’re..."
The Blood Race butler stared in disbelief at Sam’s disheveled clothes.
When he passed out, he had accidentally knocked over a wine barrel, and rich red wine had soaked him. He now reeked of alcohol; anyone who didn’t know better would have thought he’d had too much to drink.
"I’m fine. I was just fighting a powerful anomaly. Luckily, my skills were superior, and I killed it."
Sam said flusteredly, trying to cover up his embarrassment.
He couldn’t let anyone know he’d been one-shot by a door.
Although his words sounded utterly ridiculous,
The corner of the Blood Race butler’s mouth twitched. ’Where would a powerful anomaly come from in this manor? He probably got drunk and cracked his head open.’ Sam was the most troublesome of the bunch. ’If only he could be as quiet as his sister, Loli.’
"By the way, have you seen any outsiders who have invaded the manor?"
"I’m afraid I didn’t finish the job."
Hearing this,
the Blood Race butler’s expression suddenly turned serious. He had indeed sensed unfamiliar presences.
"They should be in the garden. Young Master, I will go deal with them now."
"Quick, quick, don’t let them get away!"
Sam said excitedly.
’The butler is a top-tier Crimson-robed Ghost. He can definitely handle those little brats!’
...
「Meanwhile.」
Loli looked at the children with a troubled expression.
There had been no prior communication.
They had just suddenly dropped into the manor.
Strictly speaking, this could be considered a provocation!
Thankfully, her father, the Blood Race Marquis, wasn’t here. Otherwise, they would be in danger.
Especially this fifth child, the one the other children were afraid of.
Loli sensed an aura from him that was no weaker than her father’s.
If this wasn’t handled properly, it would inevitably trigger a conflict between two major instances!
At that moment,
Yun Zhenyue was trying to communicate with the boy named Yuan.
But he just kept his head down.
He didn’t say a word, like a little mute.
Seeing this, Meimei tried to dissuade her. "Big Sister, don’t bother. He doesn’t talk."
"You don’t need to worry about him. Even the adults can’t do anything with him."
At this point,
Meimei turned her head and said helplessly to Yuan,
"Forget it. Since you followed us here, don’t go back alone. But you better not make a move, or you’ll cause huge trouble!"
"If only Big Brother were here. But no, I have to be your boss. Sigh~"
Meimei put her hands on her hips,
exuding the air of a little adult.
’He doesn’t talk?’
Yun Zhenyue shifted her gaze away, surprised and suspicious.
She couldn’t shake the feeling that this child in front of her was very similar to Gu Yuan.
Whether in looks or in aura.
It was as if...
He was a complete carbon copy of Gu Yuan.
It was just that her Gu Yuan always had a gentle aura,
whereas this Yuan’s aura was filled with senseless destruction and darkness.
It was as if he carried Gu Yuan’s Heart Demon and malice.
The first time she saw him,
Yun Zhenyue’s heart sank.
She had almost thought Gu Yuan had turned to the dark side.
"Why don’t you all go to my bedroom for now..."
Just as Loli was about to lead the children into hiding—
CLOMP CLOMP~
A series of heavy footsteps echoed from nearby.
The Blood Race butler arrived at their hiding spot, an infuriated Sam in tow.
"Butler, it’s them!"
"They’re the ones who invaded the manor! Hurry up and kill them all!"
Sam said, pointing at the children behind Loli.
Then he turned and pointed furiously at Loli, threatening her.
"And you, Loli! I’m definitely going to report to Father that you secretly brought outsiders in to harm the manor!"
"Especially this gardener! Butler, help me catch her! I’m going to drain her dry! She must be the traitor who brought this pack of anomalies here!"
Loli panicked when she heard this.
She couldn’t bear to watch the new friend she had just made die at her brother’s hands.
But it was the undeniable truth.
She couldn’t refute Sam’s words. ƒrēewebnovel.com
However, at that very moment,
"W-wait a moment..."
A few drops of cold sweat broke out on the Blood Race butler’s forehead.
He wiped the sweat dripping down the side of his face with a silk handkerchief, and his legs trembled beneath his crimson tailcoat.
’What was he seeing?’
’Aren’t these children from the nearby Terminal Orphanage?’
He knew for a fact,
that orphanage’s level was likely much higher than the manor’s!
There were even differences in power among SSS-ranks!
Once, a Great Evil had set its sights on the orphanage, preparing to seize its territory!
Just as he thought the orphanage would be destroyed, all he heard was the hum of a sword. He couldn’t even see who had acted.
That terrifying Great Evil was sliced to pieces by that single sword strike.
The lingering might of that sword strike.
His Lordship, the Marquis, had witnessed it and suffered from insomnia for a whole month.
He was even constipated every day and couldn’t eat a thing.
Anyone would lose sleep and appetite with a nuclear weapon sitting next door, right?
It wasn’t just Eternal Night Manor!
All the instances and all the anomalies in the vicinity silently abided by one rule.
No matter what!
Do not provoke that orphanage!
Fortunately, the orphanage’s children didn’t usually wander off. Even if a child accidentally wandered into your instance, as long as you didn’t harm them, the orphanage’s adults would politely and courteously take them away.
They would even send some treasures over as compensation afterward.
But if someone dared to lay a hand on the children...
the outcome would be much harder to predict.
Now, the problem had been handed to the Blood Race butler.
He scanned the group.
He counted silently in his head.
Th-th-this...
This wasn’t just one child.
There were five of them!
And that last child had an extremely hostile expression, as if he could attack at any moment.
’Attack them?’
’I’m afraid the moment that thought crossed my mind,’
’the adults from the orphanage would show up at our door.’
The Blood Race butler glanced at Yun Zhenyue, his eye twitching uncontrollably!
’Why didn’t you say you had such a powerful background!’
’You brought five "nuclear bombs" here without saying a word!’
Yes!
In his eyes!
These five children were no different from five nuclear bombs!
One wrong move,
and they could easily blow the entire manor sky-high!
’If I had known how ridiculous she was, what’s the point of her being a gardener?’
’She could just have the Marquis’s position!’
