The Villain Saint is my secondary account

Moreover, their conflict with Ella is deeply rooted and almost irreconcilable.

Even Ye Xiao himself wasn't sure if he could really pull these two people out of the deepest mud.

But looking into the girl's somewhat sorrowful eyes, he finally answered firmly, "Including."

"Really."

Beryl smiled. "Although I know you're a big liar, I'll take that statement seriously."

"Of course, I never lie when I make a promise."

Ye Xiao stood with his hands in his pockets, his eyes beneath his disheveled bangs revealing an unprecedented seriousness.

“Miss Beller, I assure you.”

……

Time flew by and evening arrived, and the Tyron family's dinner party finally began.

The magical outburst that occurred at the mansion in the afternoon did not cause any substantial damage and was quickly forgotten by the guests attending the banquet.

Astra the Star Weaver woke up underground in a desolate wilderness. Completely bewildered, she was lost in a maze set up by Miss Maple for half an hour before finally returning to the Duke's mansion.

After listening to the report from her subordinates in the Starweaver Squad, she quickly realized that someone was impersonating her and immediately flew into a rage.

Fortunately, Beryl arrived shortly after and made some excuses to calm her down.

The gist of the story is that the person impersonating her was a Loren agent who has been caught and dealt with. After the report was filed, the rest of the company is now chasing down the remaining accomplices, so there's no need to worry anymore.

The negotiations went very smoothly. Although she was tricked without her knowledge, she did not suffer any actual losses.

Although Astra secretly felt there was something fishy going on, since Beller had already said so, she couldn't go around telling everyone about how embarrassing it was to be knocked unconscious, since it would ultimately be her own face that was lost.

Ye Xiao returned to the courtyard and reunited with the members of the Demon Maple Squad.

Raymond had sobered up by then, and after hearing Miss Maple's description, he almost had a heart attack.

"You...you...you ambushed and knocked out the executive officer??? And then impersonated her to attend the meeting???"

"Shh—keep your voice down, it won't be good if someone hears, Captain."

Miss Mofeng said with a grin, then turned to Ye Xiao, "Little brother, what did you hear back then? Tell everyone quickly."

Chapter 141 The Duke's Banquet

Ye Xiao carefully considered his words and revised his account of the meeting before telling everyone.

It seems the Starweavers want Duke Tyron to replace Miss Lo's position with their people in the upcoming promotion plan.

"Upgrade plan, what is that?"

Miss Mofeng looked confused when she heard this word.

"All I know is that it's an operation that the company and the Dark Shepherds will be carrying out in Aslan."

Ye Xiao was unsure whether telling the others directly was a good thing or a bad thing, so he kept it a secret for the time being.

"Those guys are really bad."

But not knowing the truth didn't stop Miss Mofeng from chirping at the other party, "Luckily we were careful."

"I just beg you not to do this kind of thing again, Mo Feng."

Raymond covered his face, still somewhat shaken. "Mr. Kalon, you too. I thought you were quite composed. How could you pull something like this with that guy, Mo Feng?"

“It’s one thing that we don’t get along with the Starweavers, but if something goes wrong, they have every reason to kill us.”

"Hey,"

Mo Feng waved his hands and said, "Astra went back a long time ago, and she didn't bother us all afternoon."

"Be careful. She'll find out about someone taking her place at the meeting with her own team. Maybe she just doesn't have any evidence and that's why she hasn't taken action yet."

Raymond slapped Mo Feng on the head. "But that guy is the type to hold a grudge. Now that she's been humiliated, and given that we had a disagreement with them beforehand, they can't possibly guess that this is related to us. She'll definitely find a chance to retaliate against us later."

"They're all under the company's control, would they openly attack their own people?"

Ye Xiao asked curiously.

“A direct attack is unlikely. We still need to follow the rules. Our executor is just busy, not disappeared. And if all else fails, we still have the Sage.”

Raymond shook his head. "But there are many other methods besides these. In short, everyone should be careful from now on."

"As for the information you obtained, Mr. Kalon, I have already reported it to the authorities. Lord Moon Guardian told us that we need not worry."

"You can report directly to the executive officer?"

Ye Xiao was slightly surprised.

"How could I? I used the player system to send it to my superior, and then my superior contacted the executive."

Raymond waved his hand, "The upgrade plan is none of our business. We just need to do our own job."

Ye Xiao nodded. "Will you still attend the banquet tonight?"

"Of course we'll participate! We don't need to be afraid of those guys to the point of being hesitant even when we're having a drink..."

Raymond seemed to suddenly remember something halfway through his sentence and quickly changed his tone, "Um, but I won't drink tonight. I've already had enough this afternoon."

"No, Captain!"

Miss Mofeng covered her mouth and chuckled, "I'd like to hear more of Miss Shirley's story."

"Holy crap, what exactly did I say back then...?"

Raymond covered his forehead.

……

As evening fell, the brightly lit mansion was much more lively than it had been in the afternoon.

The courtyard is filled with exquisite crystal lamps, which illuminate the colorful flowers in the corridor, making them even more dazzling.

The spacious hall on the first floor of the mansion became the main venue for banquets at night, resplendent in gold and jade, with expensive wool carpets laid out on the outer corridors, where nobles dressed in fine clothes strolled.

As Ye Xiao and his team members walked down the corridor, they noticed that the glass windows on the side were all brand new, presumably after Duke Tyron hurriedly had them replaced after Beller's shout in the afternoon.

"There seem to be so many more people than in the afternoon."

As Mo Feng walked, he looked around, wondering, "Just how many nobles can a country support?"

"Generally speaking, during the day we invite guests who are friendly or who have important matters to discuss."

Raymond replied, "The evening is a formal occasion, and anyone with even a slight connection will be there."

The group was talking in hushed tones when, as they entered the hall, an angry voice suddenly came from a distance.

"It's you again!"

The group looked in the direction of the voice, and sure enough, it was the familiar voice of the Starweavers team.

As soon as the tall, thin squad leader saw Ye Xiao, he led his team members up in a large group, blocking their path.

"After all that commotion this afternoon, you really dare to stay here?"

I don't know what you're talking about.

Miss Mofeng stuck out her tongue. "Even though we're in the same department, can you please not chat with me unless it's important?"

"This guy probably thinks he's the Duke of Tyron and wants to confiscate everyone's invitations."

Ye Xiao smiled.

The two men's sarcastic and unfriendly manner immediately made the squad leader's forehead veins throb. "You... Damn it, let me tell you, Lord Astra disdains to lower himself to the level of a bunch of troublemakers like you, but we won't let you off so easily... We'll see!"

"Oh, Lord Astra, I had forgotten about it if you hadn't mentioned it."

Miss Mo Feng pretended to ponder, rubbing her chin, "Please also pass on a message to our esteemed CEO, saying that next time, don't sleep in someone else's hallway. People who don't know better might think that the people in our company can't even afford a bed."

"You ride on the horse..."

The squad leader's face turned red instantly. Luckily, his two teammates held him back, otherwise he would have rushed up and started a fight with everyone.

"I noticed this guy this morning; he doesn't seem to be very bright."

Ye Xiao leaned close to Raymond and whispered, "Compared to that Miss Luo, they seem to be quite different. Are the Starweavers really only this good?"

"Of course not, they're just a second team. The main team is out on a mission, they didn't..."

Raymond said in a low voice.

"Feng Shu, what are you all doing gathered in this corridor?"

Just then, a soft call came, interrupting everyone's "friendly exchange".

The sound came from behind Ye Xiao and his group, directly from the direction of the mansion's main entrance.

Ye Xiao didn't notice who "Feng Shu" was referring to at first, until he saw the squad leader who was arguing with them suddenly widen his eyes and stop what he was doing.

"Miss Li...?"

"Uh, bad."

Raymond was still whispering to Ye Xiao when he heard this address, and his smile immediately froze on his face. "Is it really that unlucky? Whoever I say comes to this."

Ye Xiao turned around out of curiosity, only to see four figures dressed in luxurious formal attire walking towards them down the corridor behind them.

And with that one glance, he could no longer take his eyes off the four people.

At the very front of the group was a girl with gray hair and purple eyes. Her black and gray evening gown, like a thin mist in the twilight, outlined her slender figure with a cool and elegant charm.

Her long hair cascaded down to her waist, shimmering like pearls in the candlelight, perfectly complementing the silver embellishments on her skirt.

Her delicate face was framed by a pair of deep violet eyes, as dark as the starry winter night sky, which, together with her serenely upturned lips, formed exquisitely doll-like features.

Chapter 142 Home Team Advantage

Goodness, this is a familiar face.

Of course, "familiar" here only means that Ye Xiao recognizes it.

Because the other party was also one of the top-ranking Saint-level players in the rebel army that fought against Ella in the previous life.

Ye Xiao remembered that this girl was ranked fourth in the arena, but because her ID was anonymous on the list, he didn't know her specific name. He only knew her nickname among the players: "The Reaper".

Like "God of War" Oz and "Emperor of Law" Lu Fan, these titles are simply names that circulate among players to help them understand their characteristics and "achievements".

Therefore, it is not difficult to see from this title that this gray-haired girl is the top assassin, and has countless dead under her command.

Now that the other party has appeared here, and looking at Raymond's tense expression, Ye Xiao knows without a doubt that the other party is probably a member of the Starweaver main team that Raymond mentioned.

"Um……"

Ye Xiao curled the corners of his lips, but this actually made much more sense.

Compared to the seemingly simple-minded squad leader Feng Shu, this top player better met his expectations for the experts recruited by the company.

But why was he recruited to the Star Weavers' side? Is that Dream God even doing his job properly?

Beside the gray-haired girl, addressed as Miss Li, stood a tall, slender young man.

The young man was dressed in a well-tailored black suit, his hair was as black as night, slightly past his ears, and a few wisps of hair fell casually down his forehead, covering one side of his sharp eyebrows.

Although he didn't carry a knife, he exuded a chilling aura simply by standing there.

Ye Xiao also recognized this person. His ID was Shuo Ye, and his real name was unknown. He was once ranked seventh on the leaderboard and was a swordsman player who reached the Saint rank in his previous life. He was known as "Shadowless" on the forum.

Unlike typical swordsmen, their preferred weapon is a very long katana; however, since it's a banquet, the other party certainly wouldn't be carrying a weapon.

Behind these two was a familiar face to Ye Xiao, "The Dharma Emperor" Lu Fan.

Ye Xiao was slightly surprised that this guy had also returned from the Western Frontier.

But he remembered that Zhou Lixun had indeed said that Lu Fan was a recruit of the "opposite forces," and now it seemed that the "opposite forces" referred to the Star Weavers.

Lu Fan was once ranked third on the list, and now Ye Xiao has taken over the Miracle Sorcerer's legacy, but his talent and strength are still there, so it's not surprising that he was recruited by the company.

Moreover, in his previous life, Lu Fan became an old man with a white beard at a young age because of his profession as a miracle worker. In this life, he might even have to thank himself for not ending up like that. Ye Xiaoman shamelessly thought to himself.

Lu Fan had obviously noticed Ye Xiao as well, but his face remained indifferent.

He neither greeted Ye Xiao nor showed any hatred for Ye Xiao winning the bet; he was simply chatting with a blonde girl next to him.

The blonde girl was wearing a noble's long dress, but she didn't recognize Ye Xiao. He was quite unfamiliar with her. Judging from the family crest on his dress, he was probably a native and not a player. He was probably not a member of the team, but rather a noble or something similar to a partner.
