Comprehension against the sky, creating the Five Thunders in the real world

The butler looked the person in front of him up and down.

He recognized the man; it was Herbert from the third squad, who was known for gossiping behind people's backs.

Most of the third squad he led were just like him.

He usually didn't pay much attention to these things and wouldn't say much to them. But now that they'd taken the initiative to come to him, they must have something more important to say.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but frown.

Upon hearing his question, the man named Herbert immediately flashed a fawning smile.

"I've come to see you because of the traitor!"

As he spoke, Herbert bowed respectfully to the butler, his earnest expression causing the butler to raise an eyebrow.

"And I can guarantee 100% that you have no idea what I'm about to tell you; you've been kept in the dark by those bastards all along!"

……

This guy has quite the nerve.

Thinking of this, he almost subconsciously felt a slight contempt for the person in front of him.

He didn't have many thoughts about this person before, but things would be different after today. Herbert dared to offend him like this, so he should be prepared to be punished.

Thinking of this, his eyes suddenly turned cold.

Those who dare to defy their superiors will be punished sooner or later.

"Master Butler,"

The man, observing the man's expression, became even more obsequious.

"To be honest, you may not know this, but we do have some leads about that despicable spy."

"What do you think."

He looked at the person beside him.

Since they dared to say that, there must be some basis for their statement.

"That's right, my teammates and I were talking that day when Lin Beichen and that guy suddenly walked up to us."

"Then the two of them got together and gave us a good beating."

At this point, he quickly moved closer to the butler and showed him the scars on his face.

"Look what Lin Beichen has done! He's smeared our faces like this. Aren't you going to do anything about it?"

Looking at the scars, the butler fell into deep thought.

Can you do this?

He frowned at the thought of this possibility.

"Why didn't you say so back then?"

To be honest, this matter is indeed a bit suspicious. Given Herbert's personality, if he really suffered a loss, he wouldn't stay silent.

This is probably why he didn't say it.

Thinking of this, he frowned slightly.

This person is likely lying; after all, with his loud voice, it's impossible for him to have suffered such a great injustice without uttering a sound.

The only explanation is that he deliberately fabricated lies in an attempt to gain sympathy.

To be honest, he'd seen too many of these tricks and usually couldn't be bothered to investigate them. When he encountered such people, he just asked them directly to find out the truth.

The butler yawned lazily, seemingly unconcerned by what he had said.

"Lin Beichen and that guy are definitely in cahoots, sir."

As he spoke, he looked up at him with a sincere expression.

"Look at them, they're even working together. Their relationship is incredibly close. Nine times out of ten, one of them is a spy, and the other is also a spy. They're definitely unhappy seeing us working so hard for the young master, and they're deliberately trying to cause us trouble!"

"alright."

Hearing him say that, the butler yawned lazily again, looking rather uninterested.

Herbert's words were full of holes, and listening to him was a waste of time.

"My lord! My lord!"

Seeing his attitude, Herbert became even more anxious and quickly said:
"Since he is very likely one of their people, why haven't you reacted at all?"

"Isn't this normal?"

The butler looked up at him helplessly.

"To be honest, so what if the two of them are close? You can't prove that Lin Beichen is the mole."

"This... sir,"

He was speechless.

"Please give me more time. As long as you are willing to give me time, I will definitely be able to prove to you that Lin Beichen has a problem."

"In that case, I'll give you a chance."

The butler's gaze turned serious.

"But if you disappoint me, I will not let you off easily, do you understand?"

"understood!"

Upon hearing this, Herbert immediately became happy.

"Since you put it that way, then we will do everything in our power to capture Lin Beichen."

He was beaming with excitement.

"Well, go ahead, go ahead."

The butler casually waved his hand at them.

To be honest, he didn't care about it at all.

Every extra traitor we can catch is a good thing.

Moreover, if he could catch one more person, it would be a great benefit to him.

He's naturally happy to do anything that can make him more money.

He gazed intently at the person in the distance.

"Since you say you have evidence that he is the mole, then come and report to me voluntarily, understand?"

"I see!"

Herbert nodded decisively.

"I will do as you say and guarantee that all the spies will be delivered to you when the time comes."

"With your words, I feel relieved."

The butler waved his hand casually, as if relieved.

"Set off immediately and bring them all back without leaving a single one behind. I will reward you handsomely once you complete the mission."

"Yes, my lord."

The man left the butler's sight happily and soon disappeared at the end of the corridor.

Watching his departing figure, the butler slowly breathed a sigh of relief.

But for some reason, he still felt a heavy weight on his heart. The whole matter was ultimately quite troublesome for him.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but frown. It seemed that he would still have to send someone to provide support after all.

"Who among you is willing to assist Herbert and the others?"

"Help Herbert?"

Upon hearing this, the people present immediately showed their reluctance.

Go help Herbert? That would be foolish.

Herbert was a notoriously difficult person to get along with, and they usually avoided him.

Seeing everyone's reaction, the butler could only sigh.

"Sigh, I expected this to happen. Since no one is willing, I will appoint one."

He pondered for a moment, his brows furrowing slightly.

"It's not too late to consider helping them once you change your minds. In short, anyone willing to help them complete their mission will be richly rewarded. Do you understand?"

"understood."

The people behind him nodded quickly.

"Sir, please let me go."

At this moment, a person stepped out from behind, looking earnest.

"Please trust me; I am capable enough to handle this properly."

"Of course I believe you."

Seeing his decisiveness, the butler immediately made up his mind.

The person in front of me is clearly a well-trained mercenary.

He vaguely remembered that the man's name was Miranda.

"Miranda..."

He repeated the name to himself in a low voice.

The name is quite catchy and easy to remember.

but--

He looked up and carefully examined the young man in front of him.

To be honest, he felt that Miranda was somewhat strange when they first met.

But after spending some time together, that unease disappeared.

After all, this person is indeed reliable.

"In short, all I need to do is follow and protect them, and make sure they're safe, right?"

"exactly."

The butler immediately nodded in approval.

“Herbert is always reckless and impulsive, which makes me uneasy.” As he spoke, a trace of worry crossed his face.

"That's why we need your protection so much."

"Since you have given such instructions, I will pay close attention to this aspect."

"I don't think they'll cause any major problems, but they'll definitely have a lot of minor troubles."

At this point, the butler quickly reminded the person in front of him.

"You'd better be careful. These people love to cause trouble, and if anything goes wrong, you'll be held fully responsible."

"Is that so?"

Upon hearing this, the man immediately became nervous.

"So you must be careful when leading them. Alright, go and take a look first."

As he spoke, he gently nudged Miranda.

"Okay, I'll go right now."

Miranda took a deep breath and walked quickly toward the dormitory next door.

Inside the dormitory, several people were already sitting on the edge of the bed waiting.

"Hey kid, I've never seen you before."

As soon as they entered and closed the door, the people inside couldn't wait to reveal their true colors.

They stared at Miranda menacingly, their expressions quite frightening.

"I said, I came to help, why are you being so aggressive?"

Miranda looked helplessly at the group of people in front of her.

He came to help, not to fight, but these people clearly weren't even willing to show him that much consideration.

In that case, he had nothing to say.

Thinking of this, he suddenly exerted his strength and punched the dormitory leader hard on the head.

"Are you crazy?!"

Everyone present was stunned, staring at Miranda in disbelief.

"I'm mad?"

Miranda turned her head, her hands still stained with the man's blood.

"Aren't you all crazy? I came here out of kindness to help you, but you turned around and bit me like venomous snakes. Don't you feel any remorse?"

"You were the one who started the fight, why should we feel guilty!"

Everyone was immediately outraged.

"You just wait! You bastard, we'll make you pay!"

"Then why don't you come and try it?"

Miranda coldly surveyed the crowd, then scoffed disdainfully.

To be honest, he was fed up with these people's attitudes and now he wanted to solve the problem once and for all.

Seeing his cold smile, everyone gasped and fear appeared on their faces.

"W-you...what do you want to do? I'm warning you, don't do anything reckless!"

"don’t worry."

Miranda's face gradually regained its calm expression.

"I told you, I won't do anything too outrageous to you. Just behave yourself and do your job well, and I won't bother with anything else."

After saying that, he shrugged and casually found a place to sit down.

"Who's the boss here? Come out and talk to me. I have a lot to say to your leader."

"Hurry up, or don't blame me for taking action."

As soon as he finished speaking, the room fell silent, and everyone looked at him with fear in their eyes.

"What? Don't you have a boss here?"

Seeing their reaction, Miranda raised an eyebrow, slightly puzzled.

"It's not that we don't have a boss, it's just that our boss was just knocked to the ground by you."

They immediately pointed to the person lying on the ground nearby.

Seeing this, Miranda suddenly realized what was going on.

"So this is your boss. I'm so sorry, I didn't notice him and accidentally knocked him down. I'm really sorry. But he is indeed more fragile than I thought, there's nothing I can do about it."

"What do you mean there's no way?!"

Herbert became anxious upon hearing this.

"Do you know how much effort I put in? How can you say this is a trivial matter?"

His entire face was tense, and his expression was serious.

"Cut the nonsense."

Miranda stepped on the rope binding Herbert.

"I really don't have time to argue with you right now. If you still have the energy to argue, you should think carefully about how you can obey my orders to my satisfaction."

"Bah! I am the captain of the third squad, why should I take your orders?"

Herbert became even more excited upon hearing this.

He finally managed to escape his previous predicament.

Obey orders?

He would never do it even if you killed him.

Seeing his stubborn expression, Miranda immediately changed her mind. To be honest, she had already said a lot of nice things, but the other party not only wouldn't listen, but also slandered her and even intended to do something even more outrageous.

He sighed softly.

It seems we've been too lenient with these mercenaries, which is why they dare to be so arrogant now.

But then again——

He silently frowned.

Since they dare to treat me like this now, they probably treated the butler the same way in the past, or maybe even worse.

Thinking of this, his heart sank.

Such people must never be kept around; we must find a way to get rid of them no matter what.

Moreover, now is the perfect opportunity.

He should be able to complete the tasks assigned by the butler smoothly.

With this in mind, he made up his mind.

"From now on, I will take over your position as the leader."

He walked up to the crowd and said firmly.

"You all must obey my orders and do as I say, or you'll suffer the consequences."

Hearing his threat, everyone present felt a surge of strong dissatisfaction.

Miranda was parachuted in; what makes her the boss?

"What right do you have to treat us like this?"

Seeing his actions, the others frowned in displeasure.

"To be honest, we are not your slaves. Aren't you afraid of retribution for treating us like this?"

"What I fear least is retribution."

Miranda laughed loudly and arrogantly.

"Those tactics you think you can use to threaten me are completely useless to me."

"As for retribution, I've already figured it out. Anyway, you can't do anything to me now, so instead of worrying about your retribution, I'd rather do something more meaningful."

At this point, his gaze suddenly turned sharp as he looked at everyone.

"What...what do you want to do?"

Seeing him like this, the others around him also cast frightened glances.

It was as if Ishus would skin them alive and devour their bones.

"What kind of strange character did the butler recruit?"

Herbert, who was being trampled under Ishus's feet, muttered under his breath.

Honestly, this is probably one of the most bizarre situations he has ever encountered.

He didn't want to get involved in this kind of trouble again, and thinking of this, his whole body tensed up involuntarily—would this guy cause some big trouble?
"Then, tell us your plan to find the traitor."

He walked to the other side with an air of nonchalance.

"Now hand over all your plans."

After saying that, he spread his hands and started asking them for it.

Upon seeing this, the people present were instantly stunned.

"arrange……"

The people in the dormitory all swallowed hard.

They exchanged glances, their expressions revealing unease.

"Seriously, where's your proposal?"

Ishus raised his eyebrows slightly, appearing indifferent.

"Since we're going to catch that spy, we should at least have a basic plan."

As he spoke, he turned and glanced at the people around him.

"Don't tell me you weren't prepared at all and just recklessly rushed in to arrest people."

"Uh, well..."

Upon hearing this, everyone present burst into awkward laughter, turning their faces away in embarrassment. (End of Chapter)
