The big boss is reborn and lets himself go.

Hilbert's deep, sharp eyes were fixed on Countess Frostbite, who lay sprawled on the ground, looking utterly disheveled. The noblewoman was staring at him with eyes filled with terror, as if she were seeing a demon from hell. Yet, in an instant, Hilbert found his body no longer trembling as before, and his fear of her vanished like smoke.

At this moment, Hilbert finally shifted his gaze to his sister Catherine, who was standing to the side. His expression was unusually serious and earnest as he said, “My dear Catherine, I truly thank you for everything you’ve done for me today. However, to be honest, if I were to pick up a stick and beat her right now, I simply couldn’t bring myself to do it! This isn’t because I pity them, or because she has anything special that warrants my leniency; it’s simply because she’s a woman, and I don’t hit women. So, perhaps we could consider giving her the punishment she deserves in a different way?”

Catherine stood quietly closest to her brother, her bright eyes constantly watching his every move. With her understanding of him and her keen observation, she easily noticed the subtle changes occurring in him.

She knew her brother had successfully overcome his deepest fears, which filled her with genuine relief and pride. However, while his words were somewhat unsettling, Catherine, with her intelligence, understood their deeper meaning. After all, her brother's decision not to lay a hand on Countess Frostbite stemmed not from cowardice or fear, but from his own good manners and unwavering principle—not to easily raise a fist against a woman.

Catherine, however, was different from her brother. As a woman, she had no gender reservations when facing enemies, regardless of whether they were male or female. If someone provoked her, she would retaliate without hesitation. Especially with figures like Countess Frostbite, Catherine knew very well that she could not be soft-hearted or show mercy to such people.

At that moment, Catherine quickly composed herself, her previous serious and somewhat unruly expression replaced by a warm and gentle smile. She tilted her head slightly, looking tenderly at her brother Hilbert, and softly asked, "Alright, brother, now that I'll listen to you, have you thought of a solution? Tell me!"

Hilbert listened intently to his sister Catherine's words. After she finished speaking, a mocking smile slowly appeared on his lips, a smile that seemed to carry a hint of disdain and ridicule.

His gaze was sharp as he stared ahead, his voice deep and powerful as he spoke: "After years of careful observation, this Countess of Frostbite values ​​her so-called Countess status above all else! Perhaps it's precisely because of this title that she feels such a sense of superiority. Years ago, her greedy heart was already stirring, actually attempting to devour my adoptive father's 'fat piece of meat,' the so-called 'eating up an empty family fortune.' After all, think about it, my adoptive father's family is wealthy and has accumulated a substantial fortune. But now, her Count's mansion is nothing but an empty shell of an honorary title. To continue her extravagant and luxurious life, what other way is there but to set her sights on someone else? And so, she's set her sights on me!"

At this point, Hilbert paused, took a deep breath, and continued, "What's even more despicable is that, despite her utter loathing for me, she still resorted to any means to force me to marry her daughter. The reason is simple: she coveted the considerable fortune left to me by my adoptive father, plus the money I'd earned from painting and auctioning over the years. In her eyes, I was practically a glittering mountain of gold and silver!"

Catherine blinked her large, jewel-like eyes, watching her brother suddenly stop talking as if frozen in place, and then asked with some confusion, "And then what? What are you going to do? How are you going to get revenge on her?"

Hilbert, watching his sister's anxious expression, sighed softly, then slowly regulated his breathing before speaking unhurriedly, "My dear sister, look at Countess Frostbite's anxious state. Doesn't she deeply value her noble status as a countess? In that case, let's let her taste the pain of losing that status! Besides, as far as I know, she values ​​wealth and status extremely. So, let's emulate the uproar you caused in H Continent back then, and thoroughly expose her hidden ugly side. Let all the people of H Continent clearly understand that this seemingly noble and elegant Frostbite..." The Countess, more than a decade ago, harbored treacherous intentions, plotting to seize her cousin-in-law's entire fortune, even considering taking advantage of their extinction. Just imagine, once these things are exposed, how can she possibly face anyone remaining in H Continent? Compared to simply giving her a beating, I believe this approach is far more cunning and effective. After all, the power of public opinion is boundless and indelible. From now on, as long as she lives, someone will inevitably dredge up this shameful past, subjecting her to further condemnation, ensuring she can never escape this heavy shadow and disgrace.”

Just then, Hilbert's words boomed through the living room like thunder, clearly reaching everyone's ears. In an instant, the previously quiet living room became noisy, and everyone's faces showed a variety of complex expressions.

Crown Prince Blaine, who had been sitting on the sofa with his usual composure and elegance gone, was now staring intently at Hilbert's back with an incredulous gaze, as if trying to see right through him. He muttered softly, his mouth slightly agape, "I never expected this seemingly harmless Hilbert to be so cunning! That was a truly ruthless move, practically killing him out of his spirit! But then again, they're siblings after all; even their ways of doing things are identical. Their schemes are all incredibly insidious, each one more treacherous than the last—they're all so sly and cunning!"

Meanwhile, Catherine, standing to the side, seemed somewhat surprised. She thought to herself that it should be a cause for celebration that her brother's thoughts coincided with her own. However, at the same time, an indescribable sense of embarrassment welled up inside her, because she suddenly realized that what she had done years ago was still remembered so clearly, even by her brother. Thinking of this, Catherine blushed deeply and wished she could disappear into the ground.

Catherine was originally determined to avenge her brother and help him rebuild his confidence and escape the shadows of the past. However, now that her brother has found a better way, she naturally won't stand in his way.
