However, Ye Xiao spoke up at this moment.

He frowned slightly, his gaze fixed on the polite smile on Sebastian's face. "Are you sure this is Miss Windsor's intention?"

Ye Xiao always felt that something was off about this handsome young butler. When he rescued people at Gray Peak Pass, he ran past several cave entrances, and the servants of the Tyron family were all gathered in one of the prisons.

This butler was not an ordinary-looking person. Logically speaking, Ye Xiao should have seen this guy in the cell back then.

"This is what the Tyron family means."

Sebastian met Ye Xiao's gaze with a tone that was neither humble nor arrogant, "If any of you gentlemen have any complaints, you may inform me and I will relay them to the master on your behalf."

"But if you want to cause trouble for Nian, I hope you all understand that the prestige of the Tyron family cannot be challenged casually."

As soon as he finished speaking, the guards around him subtly assumed a fighting stance.

Ye Xiao glanced at the guards with their hands on their sword hilts and chuckled disdainfully.

Miss Mo Feng looked indignant. "What do you mean by that? Are you implying we're here to cause trouble?"

"Don't worry, Mo Feng."

Raymond quickly reassured his teammates, "There might be a misunderstanding here. Okay, since that's what you think, we won't waste any more time. Let's do as you just said. We'll take the payment and leave."

"I'm glad this gentleman was still rational."

Sebastian put his hands behind his back, stepped aside, and revealed the treasure vault door behind him. "Please."

"Ha, who cares about your bunch of junk?"

Mo Feng crossed his arms. "Do you really think we're beggars?"

"Forehead."

Raymond's lips twitched involuntarily. To be honest, he really did like those things.

He didn't have Ye Xiao's eye to discern the grade of the treasures in the vault, but intuitively, he could sense that they were quite valuable.

"We can take the things first and then talk about it."

"They've humiliated us like this, can't you have any backbone, Captain?"

Miss Mofeng was speechless.

Raymond scratched his head, and a complex and helpless smile appeared on his face beneath his unruly hairstyle.

It's great that there's still this youthful mindset that hasn't been broken by reality.

He pondered this, but the worst outcome would certainly be a conflict with the Tyrone family.

The young steward's words were clearly provocative; he might even be hoping they would cause trouble so he could save the family some money.

Raymond couldn't help but turn his gaze to Ye Xiao, thinking that with Mr. Kalon's composure, he should be able to help persuade Miss Mo Feng.

He could understand Miss Mo Feng's youthful impetuosity, but in the adult world, one must always learn to accept helplessness and compromise...

Then, he saw Ye Xiao raise his big foot and kick Sebastian away with a "bang".

Ok?

Raymond thought he was seeing things, so he closed his eyes and opened them again until he could clearly see the handsome butler stuck to the wall. He stared in astonishment.

"Holy crap!? What are you doing?!"

"Stop whining and complaining. Is your young lady's life only worth a few measly coins?"

Ye Xiao withdrew his foot. "Let me tell you, if I don't see Miss Windsor today, I'll beat them all to a pulp."

"No way!? Bro, are you crazy?!"

Raymond felt a rush of blood pressure and almost choked.

"Yay, let's fight!!!"

Miss Mofeng clenched her little fists and jumped up excitedly.

The guards in the corridor finally came to their senses and rushed towards Ye Xiao with loud shouts.

These guards protecting the nobles' residences would be the elite of the elite in the army, but even with weapons in hand, they were no different from chicks in Ye Xiao's eyes when he was unarmed.

He casually swung his palm, and the fierce force shattered the steel sword wielded by the guard at the forefront.

The residual force struck his chest, causing the guard's body to spin and collide with the others behind him, like bowling balls knocking down a bunch of people.

The remaining guards rushed forward, but none of them were a match for Ye Xiao. They were all slapped into the ceiling and walls.

"The mansion has been attacked!!"

The servants who were a little further away on the periphery were terrified when they saw this scene and tried to flee out of the corridor on all fours.

But before he could run two steps, a sword hilt flew through the air in a graceful arc and struck him squarely on the back of the head.

The servant stumbled and fell asleep immediately, while the other servants who were nearby could hardly run even five meters away from Ye Xiao's grasp.

In the blink of an eye, Ye Xiao had dealt with a dozen guards and several servants, leaving Raymond completely bewildered.

Raymond's lips twitched. Everything happened so fast that he didn't even have a chance to stop it. The Tyron family members were stuffed into the wall like radishes.

"No... Brother Kalon, Big Brother Kalon, if we do this, won't we completely break ties with the Tyron family?"

"That's not necessarily true. In the current situation, some people may not want to be seen."

Ye Xiao brushed the dust off his hands expressionlessly.

"Don't you think so, Mr. Butler?"

Raymond turned his head in a daze and saw Sebastian, who had been embedded in the wall, pressing his hands against the wall and his feet lightly landing on the floor.

His face was cold, and a faint blue light surrounded him.

Despite being kicked hard by Ye Xiao, he not only suffered no injuries, but his clothes were also completely free of dust.

"This butler is actually a sorcerer?!"

Raymond was immediately taken aback.

"How did you tell?"

Sebastian stared intently at Ye Xiao, his words carrying a chilling undertone.

He hadn't intended to reveal his strength, but Ye Xiao's kick, bursting with killing intent, was too sudden, so he subconsciously activated his protective barrier.

"I just felt something was off about you, so I was just testing you."

Ye Xiao waved his hand.

"casual……???"

Sebastian gritted his teeth. He couldn't understand how this person could kick an ordinary person away just because of something as trivial as "casualness".

"If we save the eldest daughter of the Tyron family and guess wrong, we can simply alert the Duke, apologize, and the good and bad will cancel each other out; if we guess right, then we'll make a killing."

Ye Xiao's lips curled up, and he spread his hands, "Since you won't let us see Miss Windsor anyway, why don't I just take a gamble?"

Chapter 148 Fair Trade

Ye Xiao's idea was actually very simple. He found that the butler and his behavior were not right, so he kicked him to test the waters, just like opening a blind box.

The worst-case scenario would be that they would be thrown out of the banquet by the Tyron family. However, given the debt of gratitude for saving Miss Windsor's life, and the company's backing, as long as no one was killed, he could simply shift the blame to "the butler who provoked them first." No matter how unhappy the Tyron family was, they couldn't do anything to them.

Regarding the mission, Ye Xiaoneng could ask Tania to help them connect with Miss Windsor, or at worst, ask Pierberg for an introduction. There were plenty of backup plans, but this might be the only opportunity to test the butler.

Of course, this approach is not without its downsides; it will bring shame to Dream God and the company, and be condemned by the Tyron family.

But what does this have to do with Ye Xiao?

"Do you understand now? That's just how arrogant we Caesars are."

Ye Xiao put his hands in his pockets, raised his chin, and looked down at Sebastian. "And as you can see, I've now figured out that you're a cunning old fox hiding your strength under Miss Windsor's command. I don't care what your purpose is, but from now on, you only have two choices."

"First, take us to see Miss Windsor, and I'll keep it a secret for you; second, you take back your magic and pretend to be an ordinary person, and I'll continue to cause trouble. I'll bet you I dare to beat you to death in front of the Duke."

Sebastian's face darkened upon hearing this.

While it's said to be two options, there's really only one, and beyond that, Sebastian is considering something much deeper.

He wasn't sure how much Ye Xiao knew. If Ye Xiao had completely seen through his true identity, he would have to take action right here.

But Ye Xiao's words made it seem like he didn't know much, which gave him a sliver of hope.

Sebastian was quite annoyed by the fact that the other party had handled the situation so perfectly, as if he were being deliberately guided.

You mere human beings dare to scheme against me.

Sebastian thought to himself, but he still obediently withdrew the magical energy emanating from his body and let out a cold snort.

"Okay, then it's as you wish."

Ultimately, he didn't need to confront this brute head-on. Keeping these people away from Miss Windsor was at the Duke's behest, but compared to exposing his own identity, this concession was acceptable.

"As I wish... Oh, so you choose to be beaten to death, is that it?"

Ye Xiao's eyes lit up.

"I mean, choose the first one!"

Sebastian nearly choked on his own breath. "I'll take you to see Miss Windsor!"

"Ugh."

Ye Xiao immediately showed a somewhat disappointed expression, "Alright, I'm glad you're a smart person."

Several veins bulged on Sebastian's forehead.

Seeing the two shake hands and make up again, Raymond became even more confused.

He felt as if the world had become something he couldn't understand.

"See that? When it's time to act, you should act. Captain, stop being a coward."

Miss Maple laughed and patted Raymond on the shoulder.

"This is unreasonable..."

Raymond muttered to himself.

On the other side, Sebastian casually reached out to close the door to the storage room.

Seeing this, Ye Xiao quickly reached out and pressed down on the door, "Hey, wait a minute, we haven't taken our things yet."

"..."

Sebastian glanced at Ye Xiao speechlessly and sighed.

"Move quickly."

……

The Tyron family's treasury still holds many valuable items. However, things have progressed too quickly in this life, resulting in only one arena settlement, with the next one still a long way off.

Therefore, being able to obtain high-level items through other means is also a good thing for Ye Xiao.

Although on the surface Ye Xiao could only choose one thing, he was never one to follow the rules.

Using his clothes as cover, he secretly hid a mouse on a shelf right under Sebastian's nose.

The rat familiar can be used as a spatial anchor. When Duke Tyrone isn't paying attention, I can have Ella open a spatial portal to empty the place and have a good meal.

For now, Ye Xiao chose a large cup that looked very cool and radiated dazzling golden light.

[Item: Bloodstained Grail]

[Quality: Epic]

[Introduction: It is both the source of power and the beginning of destruction]

[Skills: Life Conversion, Cursed Blood]

This item has an interesting function: its first skill can draw blood from the user and convert it into magic power in a proportional manner.

The second skill is that after dripping blood into a target, the damage caused to the user when the blood was drawn can be projected onto the corresponding target. Only one target can be projected at a time, and dripping new blood will overwrite the previous target.

Ye Xiao is currently unable to borrow that powerful divine spell from the weakened Ella, but he can use smaller divine spells like "Healing Holy Light".

Ella's tentacle version of "Healing Light" has a strong recovery ability, but it also consumes a lot of magic power.

And this cup just happens to be able to convert blood into magic, so Ye Xiao was very curious whether he could take off by stepping on his right foot with his left foot.
