Relax, I'm not some troublemaker from a role-playing game.

At this moment, Chaos was gripping Bai Xi's arm tightly, but he didn't move.

Bai Xi tried to move, but Chaos was holding him too tightly, and he couldn't break free...

In front of the two was a little white-haired girl with a face full of curiosity.

She was wearing a pristine white nightgown, holding a large book that seemed slightly thicker than her size, and walking barefoot on the cold, damp basement floor, seemingly oblivious to the cold.

Half of her slender, white hands were exposed, and coupled with her long, silvery-white hair, she looked like a girl made of snow...

But what Bai Xi was more concerned about was why there was a girl here.

And why did Chaos react as if he'd seen a ghost the moment he saw this little girl?

In that instant, Bai Xi's mind raced, but the next moment, he caught a glimpse of Chaos's threatening gaze.

Then, to his surprise, he saw that Chaos, whose face remained unchanged for ages, actually managed to force a kind smile and turned it toward the little girl in front of him.

"Yes, Alice... This is a friend who recently arrived at the manor, so she's an old acquaintance. Right, Mr. Bai?"

Bai Xi felt the grip on her arm tighten, and she couldn't help but force a smile, saying against her will:

"Yes, Mr. Chaos and I have been old friends for several years... we know each other very well!"

"So, you've come to play with Alice?"

Bai Xi's mind raced, and he was about to say something when he saw the girl's pure and innocent gaze, and he froze for a moment.

"yes."

At this moment, it was Chaos who reacted quickly and spoke almost immediately.

"So what are you guys playing now?"

Alice asked curiously, while looking somewhat troubled, she opened the iron-spine book in her arms:

"Hmm, I've never found anything like this before..."

In that instant, Bai Xi felt Chaos's piercing gaze and broke out in a cold sweat.

Hurry up and think of something! If you don't say something soon, you might get in trouble with your group later!

So, Bai Xi's mind raced, and he said seriously:

"Yes, yes, this is a trick from my hometown, you probably haven't heard of it..."

"Simply put, it's an arm-wrestling game where people grab each other's wrists to demonstrate their close relationship."

"Is that so?"

Alice answered as if suddenly realizing something, and Bai Xi nodded hastily. Before he could even exhale, he heard Alice's cheerful voice:

"That sounds like so much fun! Can I play Alice?"

At that moment, Bai Xi's eyelids twitched.

He felt the threat of death behind him growing stronger, his resentment so intense it felt as if eight hundred axemen would jump out and chop him to pieces at any moment...

Kids, don't be so curious!

"Cough cough."

At this moment, Chaos suddenly coughed twice, released his grip on Bai Xi's hand, and left with a meaningful look.

Then he stepped forward, stood before Alice, bent down, and spoke in the gentlest of tones:

"Alice, Brother Bai and I still have some things to discuss. Could you go back and stay for a while?"

"It will only take...five minutes."

"Okay, sure."

Alice nodded obediently and turned to go into the room. Chaos stood there, watching Alice go into the basement room, then silently turned around, looked at Bai Xi who hadn't gone a step away, and sighed.

He closed the basement door temporarily, and his face finally showed his usual cold and dignified expression.

"You're actually a bit more well-behaved than I expected, Mr. Bai."

He coldly uttered those words, while Bai Xi shrugged.

They seemed completely unconcerned.

"Now, I think we can talk?"

Chaos narrowed his eyes, staring at Bai Xi, and asked in a solemn voice. Bai Xi, on the other hand, turned his head to look at the basement door.

"Because of her?"

Bai Xi suddenly blurted out a question, and Chaos did not answer, but his eyes seemed to become more and more dangerous.

Finally, Bai Xi sighed and raised his hands.

"Alright, Mr. Chaos. I think we should talk."

He said, "Let's have a more frank talk."

After saying this, both of them fell silent. Chaos neither answered nor looked away. Bai Xi stood there, quietly accepting the scrutiny of that gaze.

Only after a long silence did Bai Xi slowly speak:

"To be honest, Mr. Chaos, I was quite surprised that you had that side to you."

"So, I'm curious... who is she?"

"Alice. Alice Mansfield is my sister."

Chaos replied coldly, continuing, "Isn't that only natural? Why shouldn't I show my family what little warmth I have left?"

Bai Xi shrugged noncommittally, but then heard Chaos's pressing question:

"So, I also have questions for you, Mr. Bai, many."

"As I've said before, I don't like things that go out of line... I'm trying my best to maintain the dignity and respectability of this manor, and I'm exhausted. So, Mr. Bai, I hope you can understand the plight of this weary middle-aged man."

He said calmly and slowly, "My family members are all troublemakers... but they are my family, so I have to protect them. It's my responsibility as the eldest brother."

"So, Mr. Bai, please tell me."

He looked at Bai Xi and said, slowly and deliberately, "What are you going to do to my family?"

"What exactly is your purpose? Why did you come here?"

Wow, you're such a family man! That's fucking amazing!

However, the direction of this module... to be honest, KP seems really prominent!

[You piece of junk, what kind of nonsensical stuff are you going to make about SuperGames again?!]

Bai Xi coughed lightly in his mind, but did not answer KP's words. He just looked at Chaos.

His mind raced, and in a flash, he came up with a solution.

Although there are some risks, it should be feasible... So, let's do it.

Without answering his question, Bai Xi raised a new one.

"She's still waiting to play with us, right? So what are you going to do?"

"...I must at least fulfill these wishes of hers. I, Father, and this manor have all wronged her. So, Mr. Bai, I will make sure you are safe after I have ascertained your situation, and then I will take you to play with her."

"As for what happens after that, I will decide what to do with you based on your situation. But before that, an interrogation is necessary."

Chaos's expression showed a moment of sadness, but then he immediately hardened his expression and said.

But Bai Xi laughed.

"Then you might be disappointed."

He shook his head regretfully, then said, as if talking to himself:

"So who exactly is she? Mansfield's youngest daughter? More than that, isn't it? I guess, could it be…?"

"A blasphemous work?"

Seeing Chaos's sudden change in expression, Bai Xi gave a toothy smile.

Before Chaos could say anything, Bai Xi calmly replied:

"Now, Mr. Chaos, I can answer your question. Regarding who I really am."

He bowed slightly and, once again, or perhaps for the first time, introduced himself:

"I am Lawrence White, a chosen one of the Serpens Order, Lawrence White."
