Doomsday Code

The butler had served in Baron William's mansion for many years and had met many important figures of all kinds, but none of them would be as... relaxed as President Moni in front of him.

He really didn't care about his master's likes and dislikes, and dared to ask about anything in front of people.

When they arrived at the lobby of the mansion, the old butler was already sweating profusely from Moni's questions.

During this short journey of less than two minutes, he gave Moni a look several times, asking him not to ask questions that would embarrass him.

Fortunately, he had arrived at the reception lobby and could finally leave.

The butler gestured for Moni to take a seat, and then immediately turned to face Baron William, who had been chatting with Sgert in the back.

"Master, the young master still has..."

Baron William's face was not very good at this time, but he also knew the butler's difficulties and knew that he was looking for a reason to leave.

Seeing Baron William waving his hand to signal him to leave, the butler left immediately as if he had been pardoned.

Moni, who had been observing the structure and decoration of William's lobby, saw the old butler leave. He still had a smile on his face and said:

"Hey, why did the old housekeeper leave? You, the old housekeeper, are in charge of all the affairs in this mansion. I am just asking about the situation. Why are you leaving?"

The old butler felt even more uneasy when he heard this.

Because Moni had said before that the mansion was under his control, he should know more about how much money there was in the mansion than Baron William.

Although what he said was true, as he was in charge of the rent collection within William's territory and the monthly income of the family caravan, when Moni said this, it sounded as if he was undermining the power of Baron William.

Moreover, he has been a butler for so many years, and it is pure nonsense to say that he is honest and incorruptible. He also relied on his identity as a butler to do a lot of shady business with the William family's merchants.

And if Baron William became suspicious of him and investigated him because of Moni's words, then he would be doomed.

This is not alarmist.

Although the butlers of other noble houses might have gone even further than him, this was an absolute taboo that could not be violated in William's house.

In order to achieve family revitalization, William's family was not only cruel to their own people, but also to their servants.

As a butler for so many years, he had seen a lot of punishments for servants who violated the house rules.

So he was really afraid of Moni's mouth.

Watching the butler's figure turn the corner and disappear, Moni sighed, then smiled and looked at Baron William who had just sat down.

"Now that the old housekeeper is gone, I can only discuss this with you."

Although Baron William wished that he would finish speaking quickly and leave, he still had to pretend to be listening attentively and act as if he was going to bargain with Moni.

Just as Moni leaned towards Baron William and was about to speak, he seemed to inadvertently see Sgert sitting next to him.

Then he showed a somewhat sly smile on his face and said:

"Knight Commander Sigelt, I have some business secrets to discuss with the Baron. Do you think you need to stay out of the way?"

And Sgert didn't expect that President Moni would inexplicably involve himself, and he had just observed Moni's behavior along the way. To be honest, he didn't like him in his heart.

At this time, Baron William really suppressed his anger and said:

"President, this is just a price negotiation. There shouldn't be any commercial secrets involved. If there's nothing else, let's get started right away."

However, Moni did not care about Baron William's face at all, and did not feel the anger in William's heart at all.

Instead, he put on a serious look and said:

"How can this not be a commercial secret? I will be discussing the purchase of weapons with Bishop Jamil later. You are my first client, so the discount will naturally be bigger.

And if the Knight Commander finds out and tells the Bishop, I will be losing money again."

Baron William was filled with regret at this moment. Why had he been so narrow-minded before and wanted to curry favor with such a big shot? It was just such a small matter, but he had to be so fussy about it.

William really wanted to slap his former self in the face.

And Sgert was also very angry. He originally came here to investigate.

After knowing that the energy reaction was nearby, he prepared to leave and report back to Jamil, and let Jamil decide the rest.

But when I met this guy Moni on the way, I had to wait for him first. It was okay for me to wait for him since he was my senior.

Then he asked Baron William to invite him into his mansion so that he could observe the situation.

But now that I sat down, this guy started talking about some commercial secrets and wanted me to get out.

Why doesn't he have the dignity to sit down with the bishop of the Church in Huidun City and the Knight Commander of the Knights of Light?

Well, it’s because Moni’s fist is big, so Sigert can only lose face.

Sigert did not make things difficult for Baron William, and at the same time gave himself a way out.

After all, when you are out there, you have to give yourself face.

He stood up and smiled at Moni and Baron William:

"Since this is a business secret, I won't bother you here. And just now I saw the baron's courtyard has a unique beauty. I want to appreciate it carefully."

After saying that, Skgelt bowed to the two of them, then strode out of the lobby.

If William knew at this moment that Sigelt did this to avoid making things difficult for him, he would definitely curse Sigelt's ancestors for eight generations.

Would a baron like him be embarrassed? At worst, he could just cancel the order to the Adventurer's Guild.

He didn't want Sgert to wander around in his yard. Who knew if he would find Coles who had been possessed by someone else.

If discovered, not only will the owner of Coles' body be targeted, but the William family will also be truly finished.

It can be said that even at this point, he, who had been brainwashed by Mekas, still had not forgotten the great vision of his William family.

I really don’t know whether I should say that he is a qualified head of the family.

At this time, except for Sgert in the lobby, the friendly smile on his face was completely gone.

To be honest, he was extremely angry at being kicked out like this, but who could blame him for not being as strong as others?

Sgert clenched his fists. At this moment, he felt a desire for power that he had never felt before.

But in the end he could only sigh and shake his head, because he was the Knight of Light of the Church.

He sorted out his thoughts and drove away the bad feeling from his heart. He didn't want to be invaded by his inner demons one day because of these.

Then he remembered his mission here.

It just so happened that now he had enough reasons to wander around William's house. Since he was free anyway, he could take this opportunity to search William's house.

If there is nothing unusual, this will just narrow the scope of the church's search.
