"…Are you okay?"

After everyone left, Aarons slowly walked up to the expressionless Xia Ye.

After a brief silence, he finally squeezed out these few words.

"Thanks to you for telling me the plan in advance during the day, I didn't panic."

Although Xia Ye didn't seem to have any special feelings about what had just happened, Aarons still felt powerless.

Because I am weak, I have to rely on others to solve such a small matter. If something went wrong just now, Xia Ye, who was the bait, would be hurt.

Today we were lucky enough to solve the problem without anyone getting hurt...but what about next time?

"You should have understood by now that I am not a powerful person... Not now, and I won't be in the future."

"Master?"

"You will probably be hurt because of me in the future, but I don't have the power to protect you... I am so incompetent."

Aarons did have some dissatisfaction with his crossing.

Because he didn't have any power, many simple options were not available to him. And the failed experiences in his previous life also quietly eroded his confidence.

And this time, he really understood how painful it was to be "incompetent".

"I will try my best to send all of you to a place where you can live a stable life. Before that, you can only endure a little pain."

"Master, you have made the best choice today, why do you still deny yourself like this?"

Aarons didn't understand why he had such negative thoughts.

Perhaps it was because the unlucky young master was often called a waste, or perhaps it was because the self who traveled through time had no experience of success.

Aarons had no idea what he should do to be recognized, nor did he know whether the choice he made was right or wrong.

"…Maybe I'm just a little tired. Let's go home."

Aarons, who couldn't get an answer, temporarily gave up thinking and took Xia Ye back to the mansion.

Although it was already time for people to go to bed, in the activity room, everyone except the young children was there waiting for Aarons to return.

"Okay, everything has been resolved... What's wrong? Are you all sitting here, waiting for me to say something?"

Els and Mary sat at the table in silence. Karin, who was in charge of guarding, stood quietly beside them. The Mo couple had no idea what had just happened.

Only the old gardener Raoul, who knew the reason, was shaking uncontrollably with fear.

"Xia Ye discovered a few days ago that the servant who had escaped before had returned and wanted to plot against me, so I asked her to put on a show. Now those scumbags have been arrested by the city council. I plan to give some reward money to the guards tomorrow so that those bastards can stay in jail for a few more years."

"This, this... this is not the case! Master!"

"Old man, are you a little confused? What I just said are all 'facts'. Do you still have any objections to what I said?"

When Aarons emphasized the word "facts", he was actually telling everyone that he did not intend to hold anyone responsible for this matter.

Aarons could understand why the old gardener would do such a stupid thing without thinking.

This was just like the elderly people who had been threatened and defrauded in his previous life - first they were threatened not to tell anyone else, then they were forced to do certain things step by step according to the other party's instructions, and finally they were defrauded of a large amount of money or other things.

Under intense fear, it is difficult for an elderly person to think rationally.

"This, this... Young Master..."

"Els, Mary, it's already so late, the old man should rest, you two should take him back to the room and go to bed."

"Yes, Master."

Aarons's implication was also very clear - the old gardener would definitely be confused after hearing such news, so he asked the two young men to calm him down.

Even if Aarons does not intend to pursue any responsibility, the old man may still be hit by guilt.

"Uncle Mo and Aunt Mo, you should go back and have some rest. This is not a big deal. I will go talk to the children myself tomorrow."

"Thank you, young master. You should also go to bed early."

After watching the middle-aged couple leave the room, Aarons sighed deeply.

Although this matter has been resolved relatively perfectly, it may still leave some grudges in the hearts of family members.

Aarons himself was actually very dissatisfied with his own actions.

"Karin, please close all the doors first. Xia Ye...I need to talk to you."

The wolf girl, who had been keeping a serious expression from the beginning, relaxed a little at this moment. She closed all the doors of the room and even drew all the curtains before slowly returning to the table.

Xia Ye, with an expressionless face, looked at Aarons across the long table, waiting for the next conversation.

"You said before that you believe in the principle of equal exchange. Not only did I treat you wrongly, I even made you bear part of the responsibility. So... name your price."

"……what do you mean?"

"I don't know how to compensate you for your loss. If gold coins can be used for compensation, just tell me the amount you want. If you want something else, I will try my best to get it for you."

Aarons' tone was quite serious.

In his previous life, he also didn't like to mistreat others, and this habit indirectly caused him to lose a lot of property - and even in the other world, he still couldn't change this habit.

"What I want is..."

Unexpectedly, Xia Ye did not express his wish immediately.

She first lowered her head slightly to avert her sight, then slowly reached out and took off her round glasses that were quite intellectual and beautiful.

"I used to think you were a lawless villain, but now it seems that you are just an ordinary person with a kind heart."

And when Xia Ye raised his head and looked at Aarons again, a suffocating and intense feeling of oppression suddenly enveloped the entire room.

——Those originally clear and deep dark blue eyes had now turned into an enchanting blood red for some reason.

"I shouldn't have attacked someone like you..."

When Aarons' brain had just recovered from the momentary fear and started working at high speed again, Xia Ye suddenly stretched out his hands towards him and Karin, and pointed his slender fingers at their bodies.

"The web that binds darkness and corruption blooms in my hands - [Weaving]."

As the clear and cold chanting sounded in the room, countless black silk threads flew out from all directions and completely bound the two people who had not yet reacted.

At this moment, black flames also ignited on the beautiful curly horns of the white-haired Aries girl.
