The Devil Inside

Although he was three years older than Adela and had a higher status, Ms. Adela was always known for her strictness.

She is almost forty and will be in menopause soon. She is still unmarried and a left-over woman. Her endocrine system is out of balance and her temper is very strange. Even the Marquis is afraid of her.

Why not drive her away?

The Darkwood family is known for its benevolence and righteousness. Lady Adela has lived in the Marquis's mansion since she was a child and has never made any mistakes so far. She is unkind but fair and just.

As the head maid, she is responsible for managing all the servants and should be strict.

There are hundreds of people in the Marquis's Mansion, and without a formidable leader, how can this family be okay?

also.

Ms. Adela's fighting ability is a bit stronger than Butler Ross.

"Adela."

Butler Ross came forward and greeted with a smile.

Adela looked at the mud on Butler Ross's shoes and frowned!

Before she could speak, Ross asked quickly, "How is it going? Is the etiquette teaching going well?"

"Miss Rachel is of course impeccable. She is well-mannered and well-behaved, and she is worthy of the Darkwood name. The only problem is that she is too well-nourished... Miss's dress needs to be redesigned and cut. The ones I brought her were too tight in the front and skirt, and not pretty."

There is no need to say more about this.

Ross pretended not to hear.

Adela showed some displeasure, and said: "As for Lady Leila..."

Ross asked, "How?"

"I've never seen such a casual person! She doesn't know how to stand or sit properly, and her back is hunched over in an indescribable way! I talked to her all morning, and she said she understood, but the next second she showed her true colors. I don't know how to teach her!"

“…No, it’s not that exaggerated, right?”

Adela glanced at Ross and said, "If you don't think it's that exaggerated, go and teach her! She is a brave man and a friend of Miss Rachel. I can't say anything too harsh. In my opinion, she will make a fool of herself in this 'brave gathering'."

this……

Ross added: "Thank you for your concern."

"Humph."

Adela suddenly changed the subject and said, "During lunch, Lady Lyra learned that she could bring a delegation with her, and she immediately notified that 'Han Solo'."

"Really? Xiao Han is a very good guy, a reliable young man."

Ross praised casually, but Adela had a deeper meaning.

She looked at Ross and asked, "Master Butler, does Miss Rachel... have any special feelings for Han Solo?"

"Uh, this-"

"In the morning. No, to be exact, since I met Miss Rachel yesterday, she has always behaved differently whenever Han Solo is mentioned. I've been through this before, so I know what that behavior is."

Ross was still hesitant: "Maybe there is! Xiao Han just arrived in Arendelle, and Miss Rachel went to pick him up in person. She also bought him new clothes. She was very thoughtful."

Adela nodded slowly.

As the head maid, she naturally knew the concerns of the top members of the Darkwood family. The most shocking one was that Rachel seemed to have feelings for Leila and wanted to play the scissor leg with her!

In the eyes of the old-fashioned and serious Adela, this can no longer be described as a criminal act, it is an act of the devil.

just now……

Adela asked, "How about that Han Solo?"

Ross praised: "It's amazing! When I saw him the day before yesterday, he was only at level three. When I saw him again today, he was already at level five! In just two days, his combat power has changed so much. It's really shocking. I guess it was the life-and-death crisis in the 'Knitting Club' that forced him to evolve. His potential is like a black abyss, unfathomable!"

"...Since he can receive such a high evaluation from you, then he is qualified to become the son-in-law of the Darkwood family."

Adela made a calm judgment.

She looked at Ross and asked, "What do you think?"

Ross was very calm: "Adela, this is not our business."

"Well, you're right. But I think - we should share the Marquis's worries, what do you think?"

Ross is certainly happy to see this happen.

Scissor kick, prohibited!

He still said: "I still say that we shouldn't be so involved."

"Really? You are always like this, worrying too much. If you had the determination to move forward and the courage to make decisions immediately, you wouldn't be at this age and still only at the twelfth level."

"...Adela, my level is low, largely because I have too little time to practice! I am the steward of the Marquis's Mansion, and I have to deal with a lot of things."

Butler Ross has a good temper.

But he found it difficult to accept Adela's sharp criticism in person and immediately refuted it.

In this regard.

Adela didn't respond and pretended not to hear.

……

……

"Beckett, you better be fucking okay!"

Dallion walked into Beckett's office with his head bent. The house built for humans was too small for a 2.8-meter-tall werewolf like him.

He sat down on the sofa and looked at the round-faced man behind the desk: "What can't be said in the messenger? Why do I have to go there in person?"

—It was the scent of Master Han Solo.

A wolf's sense of smell is more acute than a dog's.

Dallion is a werewolf, so he naturally inherited this specialty. He can smell a specific scent from several kilometers away.

As soon as he entered the office, he keenly noticed:

Lord Han stopped here not long ago!

and……

Sniff.

Dallion held onto the sofa, making sure that Lord Han had been sitting in the same spot where he was now.

Beckett smiled and said, "It's nothing serious. I just have a question that I want to ask you."

"What alarmed you?"

"Ha ha……"

Beckett smiled but said nothing. He just asked, "Do you know the 'Master Priest' and the 'Ancient Sin Demon'?"

Dallion is the "Safety Supervisor".

Responsible for maintaining the security and stability of Arendelle, and preventing and combating the illegal and criminal activities of the Engravers.

Cooperate with intelligence agencies to monitor suspicious individuals and forces and eliminate potential security risks in a timely manner.

"Master officiant";

"Ancient Sin Demon".

After the Knitting Club incident, these two words appeared frequently. Dallion wanted to investigate further, but the matter had been intercepted by the "Black Robe Patrol".

The Black Robe Patrol Bureau is a supervisory agency parallel to the Public Security Bureau, and the two are not subordinate to each other.

Because they were directly responsible to the "Arendelle Board of Directors", those in black robes were always arrogant in front of Dallion, and they had forced themselves to go through some cases before. Although Dallion was a little dissatisfied, he didn't take it too seriously.

just now……

Dallion looked at Beckett with his golden eyes and said, "This is what Han Solo told you! The matter of the Knitting Club is related to the two words you just said. Han Solo is the person involved."

Beckett was stunned: "Who is Han Solo?"

"Is it?"

Dallion's ears twitched, and his tongue licked his claws. "The ancient sin demon was a demon that was sealed in the virtual world thousands of years ago. The details are still under investigation. It happened too long ago. It should have happened during the period of the Great Unified Empire. The chief priest was the mastermind behind the Knitting Society. I don't know the details either. The Inspection Bureau is in charge of this matter now."

"Picket Bureau? Do they still care about this kind of thing?"

"Normally, they don't care. The inspection bureau only targets high-ranking officials in Arendelle. Perhaps this matter involves some important person!"

"..."

Beckett became increasingly convinced that this matter was of great importance.

Director Tibers was clearly killed, but the explanation given to the public was that he was “illness caused by overwork”, which is probably related to some high-ranking official.

Beckett smiled and said, "Commissioner Dallion, I recently found a pair of excellent arm armors of extraordinary quality. Since you are here, I will show them to you!"

Chapter 69 #069 Leila is annoying

School District 3, Rachel's home.

As soon as Han Solo walked to the door, a maid came up and took him to the third floor.

"Mr. Han, Miss Rachel and the brave man are inside."

The maid said with a smile, then turned and left in a hurry.

Han Solo pushed open the door in front of him—

"Back straightened!"

A loud shout rang out of nowhere.

"Woooooooo..."

Then there was a muffled whimpering sound that sounded like Leila was making the sound.

What's going on?

Han Solo walked lightly on the thick carpet and headed inside.

What comes into view is a magnificent view.

The afternoon sun shines through the window and onto Rachel. The black-haired beauty stands against the light, the scorching sun casting an outline on her hair, skirt and body curves, making her shine and particularly eye-catching.

She was wearing a long blue satin dress that didn't fit her well.

The front is too full, which makes her look fanciful and less dignified, destroying her "divinity".

"Ah, it's Han! What took you so long to get here? The break is over!"

When Leila saw Han Solo, she immediately made a loud noise and started accusing him.

Han Solo glanced at her and said, "I came here as soon as I received the message. How can that be slow?"

Leila was also wearing a long skirt at this moment.

Her skirt is just as expensive as Rachel's, and the red and blue colors complement each other very well.

only……

Although Leila's skirt was well-cut and fitted her perfectly, she couldn't pull off Rachel's demure and elegant look.

Han Solo didn't know what was wrong. Whenever he looked at Leila, he always felt like a monkey in human clothing.

Leila looked at the third person in the room and made a negotiating gesture: "Um - Ms. Adela, Han is here? How about suspending the teaching first and letting me explain the situation to him?"

Adela's face was cold: "Lady Leila, forgive me for being blunt, but you still have a lot of etiquette to correct and learn. The Heroes' Gathering is about to be held, and you don't want to embarrass yourself in front of other heroes, right? As for the explanation of the situation, you can leave it to Miss Rachel."

She looked at Rachel and said, "Miss, please explain the situation to Mr. Han."

“Why, why is this happening?!”

Leila's despair was visibly evident.

For some reason, she suddenly turned to look at Han Solo and winked at him, asking for help.

Han Solo pretended not to notice.

"Han, you're here?"

On the other side, Rachel walked up to Han Solo and invited him to sit on the double sofa by the wall.
