Free Web NovelChapter 208: Chapter 208: In the Name of the Great Evil, You Are Not Qualified to Invite Mr. Gu
Hearing this, the Dragon Country audience was delighted.
Serves him right~
Didn’t see that coming, did you!
The guest of honor you wanted to invite is the children’s guardian!
You kicked them out without a second thought, and now you’re speechless, huh?
It’s not that they wouldn’t give you face.
You’re the one who told them to leave!
[I knew this Duke would regret it sooner or later.]
[Some Blood Race member is in for a world of hurt now!]
[Is that person a man or a woman? I’ve been staring for ages and can’t tell.]
[Duh, they called her ’Mama.’ You think she’s a ’male mama’?]
[Little Meimei’s passive-aggressive complaining is so satisfying to hear!]
...
At that moment, the Blood Race Duke’s back was drenched in cold sweat.
’He hadn’t expected the little girl to be so blunt.’
’Couldn’t she be a little more subtle?’
’That way, he could have found a way to back down gracefully.’
Especially after seeing how generous this esteemed person was, casually granting the Marquis a favor, endless jealousy welled up in his heart.
He still wanted to seize this last chance to fix things.
But just then, he heard Kui’s chilling words.
"Who dared to speak to you like that?"
Her voice was as sharp as frost!
It carried a bone-deep chill.
It seemed capable of freezing all the surrounding gloomy energy.
The words caught in the Blood Race Duke’s throat.
The orphanage was famous for being fiercely protective of its own.
Once, a supernatural being known for theft deliberately stole a child’s toy, wanting to probe the orphanage’s secrets. In the end, a group of adults from the orphanage showed up at its door.
At the time, the thieving creature had sought refuge under a Great Evil, hoping to save its own skin. But the orphanage didn’t care at all. They acted domineeringly, gave no face, and relentlessly forced that Great Evil to hand over the culprit, who they then took away.
Compared to the orphanage, his own schemes...
...were nothing more than child’s play.
’You could only say they truly had the power to fear no supernatural being!’
With a Great Evil watching over them, their protectiveness was second to none.
’They would go to war with any supernatural being over a single toy!’
"It was a Blood Race member at the banquet. He was so mean! We just weren’t used to the food, and he called us rats, commoners, savages..."
"The things he said were horrible! Pangpang almost cried from anger!" Meimei complained pitifully.
Kui listened intently.
The frost in her eyes only grew colder.
"I wasn’t about to cry! I was just... really angry," Pangpang retorted.
Little did he know...
...this only added more credence to Meimei’s words.
"Is there more?" Kui asked slowly.
"There’s also—"
Meimei hesitated for a moment.
Then she fixed her gaze on the pale-faced Blood Race Duke.
Kui turned her head as well.
She followed Meimei’s line of sight.
"This uncle here didn’t welcome us either. He said we were unruly."
"So we came out. Nobody here cares about us anyway."
...
Kui’s gaze was like a sharp sword.
It sliced the Blood Race Duke’s last shred of hope to pieces.
"I... I can explain."
"I wasn’t aware they were children from the orphanage before..."
The Blood Race Duke fought back his fear, trying to explain himself.
But before he could finish,
Kui’s extremely cold and terrifying aura crushed him, leaving him breathless.
It forced the rest of his words back down his throat.
"There’s no need."
Just as the Duke had given them no chance to explain,
Kui had no desire to hear any excuses either.
"Since you don’t welcome us, we will simply leave."
Kui delivered the final verdict.
She was, without a doubt, on the children’s side.
She hadn’t doubted them for a single moment.
"However..."
"You had better pray that you never have need of the orphanage’s help in the future."
The Blood Race Duke’s mind shattered, and his pupils trembled violently.
But he didn’t dare show the slightest defiance.
He never would have imagined that what was supposed to be a wonderful opportunity would devolve into such a hostile situation. It was like falling from heaven into hell, dragged into the abyss by a thousand hands.
Seeing the atmosphere instantly turn rigid,
"Um—"
Marquis Sino wanted to say something to smooth things over.
After all, the Duke was his superior.
But before he could speak, his lips barely moving, he saw the esteemed person’s eyes turn to him. Their gaze was calm, yet it held a chill like bone-piercing moonlight, and he immediately clamped his mouth shut.
’He clenched his buttcheeks!’
’So terrifying!’
’Is this a Great Evil?’
’A single glance had almost scared him to death.’
’Forget it, just forget it!’
’It’s not like this had anything to do with him, anyway.’
’You could only blame the Duke for being too arrogant.’
Marquis Sino gave an awkward laugh to ease the tension.
Just then, Kui noticed Yun Zhenyue seemed to want to say something but was hesitating, so she asked, "Is there something you’d like to say?"
Seeing this, the Blood Race Duke looked at Yun Zhenyue with a pleading gaze.
’He had overheard it earlier—this woman’s identity was extraordinary!’
’She was the wife of the orphanage’s master!’
’If she could put in a good word for him,’
’there might still be a chance to salvage the situation.’
But what came next...
...was a sentence from Yun Zhenyue that shattered his defenses once again.
"I just wanted to say..."
"When a subordinate is unruly, their leader should discipline them more strictly."
"Yes, that’s all. Let’s go."
Those were the Duke’s exact words!
Yun Zhenyue had only slightly altered them. frёewebηovel.cѳm
An eye for an eye!
Everyone present could see that after Yun Zhenyue finished speaking,
the Blood Race Duke’s face flushed red, then went deathly pale.
The complex expression on his face was quite a sight to behold!
HISS~
Meimei sucked in a sharp breath!
’That was a fatal blow, aimed right at the heart!’
Marquis Sino shuddered, his scalp tingling with dread.
’Looks like the Duke won’t be getting any sleep tonight.’
Loli, meanwhile, hadn’t said a word.
She simply supported Yun Zhenyue with a look of approval.
’This arrogant supernatural being!’
’He deserves to be dealt with in the most vicious way possible!’
...
Just as the group was about to leave,
the Blood Race Duke suddenly ran in front of them.
"You..."
Kui’s brow furrowed, thinking he was about to attack.
But the next second!
THUD!!!
The Blood Race Duke, casting aside all dignity,
knelt directly before them.
His eyes were filled with a pleading look!
He seemed to genuinely regret his previous actions.
"I was wrong! I shouldn’t have driven you away!"
"Please forgive my rudeness..."
"Could you please introduce me to the gentleman from the orphanage? I’m begging you."
"Or I can arrange another banquet on another day—as many as it takes! I guarantee all the food will be to the children’s satisfaction, I only ask that you let that gentleman attend."
This one act of kneeling!
It shocked Yun Zhenyue and everyone else.
They couldn’t believe this Blood Race Duke would abandon his pride completely!
’Was it really that serious?’
Kui gave him a deep look.
She immediately understood the Blood Race Duke’s intention.
’He was likely hoping for Mr. Gu Yuan to guide him to the level of a Great Evil.’
Kui just said lightly,
"You are not worthy of inviting him."
She didn’t spare him another glance.
"Let’s go."
...
The group walked past the Blood Race Duke.
As if walking past a telephone pole.
Leaving only the Blood Race Duke with a dazed, empty gaze.
He watched them leave.
Utterly hopeless.
And yet, completely helpless.
’He had to swallow the bitter fruit he himself had sown.’
’If only he had been a little kinder to the children before, if he hadn’t so easily believed Elaine, if he had even just asked the chef to make a few dishes to their liking—perhaps everything would have turned out differently.’
’At least, it wouldn’t be like this.’
He hated Elaine to the core.
