Although it is a bit shabby, this heroic spirit is super strong

When the box was opened, there were twelve extremely precious and rare special-grade space rings inside.

"Why don't you just give me the money? How am I supposed to get rid of these things like this?"

Xiao took the ring with a smile and complained a little dissatisfiedly.

Xiao took the box with a smile. Although she complained, she still smiled with satisfaction.

"Isn't that your fundamental purpose? To include that clause in the contract."

Kyle recalled one of the compensations for breach of contract that Xiao had demanded in the contract.

"If cash payment is not possible, both parties can use props of six times the agreed price as a substitute."

As compensation for breach of contract, this is obviously too lenient.

If we follow the Empire's general contract model, the amount of breach of contract must be at least 15 times.

Moreover, Xiao's proposal of six times the amount was also very subtle.

This is the maximum amount of money Kyle can transfer at will without going through his eldest brother, the head of the family.

Xiao's intention is very obvious.

Compared to the rare treasures that no one knows when to use them, the 20 million in liquid funds is obviously more important to the Hobbs family.

"Hmm, it feels like there's some useless stuff in there."

After hearing what Xiao said, Kyle became a little nervous.

Of course, he couldn't really prepare a reward for Xiao.

Kyle picked out about 20% of these props to use as filler items.

Half of the remaining items are props that have not been used for more than decades, or even have unknown uses.

"But for the sake of this space ring, let's forget it."

"That's great. Now, Mr. Xiao, could you please tell me the results of your investigation?"

Kyle breathed a sigh of relief and began to get down to business.

"Simply put, the abnormal situation in Crystal Valley is exactly what you imagined."

"It turns out the legendary dragon egg is about to hatch. Is that dragon egg in Mr. Xiao's hands now?"

Kyle took out another metal box and told Xiao that he was willing to buy the dragon egg at a price that satisfied him.

"Unfortunately I wasn't able to get it."

Xiao sighed in frustration and continued to complain to Kyle.

"Although the troublesome guard has been dealt with, the dragon egg is sealed in the crystal."

"Why didn't Mr. Akatsuki try to destroy the crystal directly?"

Kyle asked in confusion while watching Xiao very warily.

"There are many magical restrictions in that crystal. If the dragon egg is destroyed, wouldn't it be a huge loss?"

"Then why did Mr. Xiao tell me this news?"

"Of course I want Mr. Kyle to send someone to get the dragon eggs himself."

"Isn't this doing you any good?"

"Who said there isn't? You definitely won't be able to do anything anyway, so you'll need to hire me for help in the end."

Xiao looked at Kyle, who was smiling on the surface but was always wary of himself in his heart, and showed a greedy smile.

"Mr. Xiao, sometimes being too greedy is not a good thing."

"Well, I do have that level of control."

"Ahaha, it seems I'm meddling in other people's business."

"Good luck to you guys, and call me anytime you need help."

Xiao ignored Kyle's smirk and stood up to leave.

"Mr. Xiao, please wait a moment."

Kyle took out a space ring from the metal box and called Xiao.

"Huh? Is there anything else?"

"Giles's unauthorized actions seem to have caused you trouble, and I apologize."

Kyle pushed the ring in front of Xiao as an apology.

"Well, those guys aren't really a bother. But I won't hesitate to apologize to you, my subordinates."

Xiao took the ring and turned to leave the living room.

"Lord Kyle."

Chapter 32 Fall into the spider web, my noble lord

"That bastard boy actually looked down on me."

After confirming that Xiao had left, Kyle angrily punched the low table in the reception room.

Although Giles's brain is not very good, he is a top-notch fighter.

Even though they cannot be compared with those court wizards in general magic.

But Giles's skills and talent in using space magic are beyond the reach of even five- or six-star magicians.

To be on the safe side, Kyle also gave him a precious cursed dagger for his men to use.

Xiao's indifference to the attack caused by Giles hurt Kyle's self-esteem.

"Debor, how many court mages did you bring with you this time?"

Kyle questioned the woman behind him.

She had appeared behind Kyle since Xiao left, silently waiting for Kyle to calm down.

"Your Excellency, there are three court mages, one five-star and two three-star."

"The quantity is a little small."

Kyle sighed in annoyance.

Although it is indeed not easy to invite ordinary court magicians out of the imperial capital.

If it were in the past, he should have been able to bring out at least twice the number of people in his name.

The decline of the Hobbes family's influence was much faster than he had imagined.

(We must quickly get the dragon egg and that damned girl Crystal.)

Kyle clenched his index fingers tightly, his nails digging deep into his skin.

"Who are these three people?"

"Viscount Bernard and his two apprentices."

"Oh, that's wonderful. Good job, Deborah."

Kyle smiled with satisfaction when he heard the name Bernard.

Although Bernard is only a five-star magician, his strength is far inferior to that of the highest-ranking seven-star magician.

But when it comes to curses and magical restrictions, he is the highest authority in the Gadis Empire.

"But it's a pity you invited that troublesome old man over."

Although the Hobbs family has a good relationship with the Bernard family, Viscount Bernard himself is an exception.

If he were to leave the imperial capital and go to a border town like Macaulay, even Kyle would have to work hard.

"I'm deeply sorry that I took the ownership of several maids as bargaining chips without your permission."

The woman answered very nervously, not daring to look at Kyle.

She got the news that Kyle's opponent this time seemed to be able to set up a troublesome curse, so she contacted Bernard privately.

But Bernard only cares about women and doesn't care about other things like money and status.

So she risked being scolded and punished by Kyle and made a deal with Bernard.

"No problem at all, they're just a few women."

When Deborah heard this, she felt relieved.

Having served Kyle since childhood, she knew very well that Kyle was very obsessed with "his toys".

If you casually transfer your maids to other nobles, you might accidentally make Kyle furious.

But this time, Deborah won the gamble.

Kyle stood up and held Deborah's chin, causing her to blush.

Although Kyle was a little unhappy about the missing toys.

But he knew that now was not the time to worry about such things.

"Prepare an elite team immediately. I will personally go to Crystal Valley tonight."

"Yes!"

"You did a good job this time. I will reward you well later."

"Thank you, sir!"

*

"My lord, thirty elite soldiers are ready. The only one missing is Viscount Bernard."

"That stinky old man is actually late for me at such an important moment."

Kyle cursed Bernard silently, gripping the hilt of his ornate sword tightly.

The magnificent sword had become scorching hot due to Kyle's magic.

This is Kyle's old habit. Once he gets angry, he always likes to subconsciously use magic to destroy things around him.

"My lord, they are coming."

Deborah reported nervously from behind Kyle.

Kyle also noticed someone approaching from a distance and immediately put on a smiling expression.

"Lord Kyle, what's the rush?"

A white-haired old man, supported by two young girls, came to Kyle and complained.

"You'll know soon. Viscount Bernard, you're not feeling well today, are you?"

Kyle looked at the trembling old man in front of him with some worry.

He was very worried that Bernard would not be able to function normally in this state.

"Ahahaha, I accidentally over-exercised this morning."

Seeing the two girls who were supporting Bernard blushing, Kyle immediately understood what had happened.

He and his two apprentices played without any restraint for the entire day.

He cursed the old pervert in front of him in his heart.

"Deborah, give Viscount Bernard what we have prepared."

"But I know."

Deborah reluctantly took out the energy potion she had prepared for Kyle.

This was originally what Kyle intended to use as a reward for her.

"Ahahaha, thank you so much, Master Kyle."

Bernard took the potion without any intention of being polite and drank it in one gulp.

When he took the potion from Deborah, he did not forget to touch the woman's hand twice.

Although she got goosebumps all over her body, Deborah tried not to show her disgust because Kyle was around.
