house fighting in another world

Chapter 23 Undercurrent

Seeing that the time was almost up, Sawyer picked up the ball, carried the fantasy beast Xiaohei to his shoulders, and was about to go back to the house for dinner. Angus has been going out early and late late these days. I don’t know what he is busy with, Lisa Manda But he came back at the meal time, accompanied by two relatively spacious carriages and two guards from the Ashfield family, but they looked a little dusty.Upon seeing this, the Master Manager immediately turned around and made some arrangements before going up to meet him. When he saw Lisa Manda who was the first to get off the carriage, his eyes became a little colder.

The old butler following Sawyer restrained his face slightly, and said in a low voice, "Isn't there still ten days before the regular meeting? Why did you come so early this time?"

Sawyer raised his eyebrows slightly as he watched the figures getting off the carriage one after another not far away.The regular meeting is the rule of the Ashfield family. Because the industries are all over the country, they are managed by each family on weekdays. However, there will be a family gathering every six months. It is necessary to discuss and adjust the future development direction of the entire family.It is only June now, and the regular meeting will take at least ten days. In previous years, they all arrived in the imperial capital about three days before the regular meeting, let alone so many people in the regular meeting in the first half of the year. Look at that posture, It seems that everyone with a little right to speak has come.

Lisa Manda saw Sawyer's figure from a long distance, she raised her chin slightly, her smile implied a hint of complacency, even the patriarch had to bow his head sometimes, let alone such an incompetent young master like Sawyer .

Naturally, Sawyer would not miss the pride and provocation in Lisa Manda's eyes. This woman seemed to have forgotten that she was just a maid, and she actually met with the branch in private. up.

This time they came from a branch that is relatively close to the imperial capital. Even though they say the same in the territory, they are all well-behaved when they arrive at the imperial capital. Frosty face.

A group of people followed behind the general manager, and saw Sawyer at the door after walking a few steps. The general manager lowered his head and restrained his face, and called out respectfully: "Master Sawyer." But they didn't show anything, and greeted Sawyer politely.

Sawyer ignored Qiuqiu's aggrieved eyes, and threw him, along with Xiao Hei, to the old butler behind him. Earl Angus was not there, and he was a well-deserved head of the house. It was a necessary duty to entertain these people. He raised his hand and swept Sweeping the clothes, smiling calmly and calmly: "Everyone has worked hard from a long distance, let's go to the house and rest."

The man in the head had gray temples, and looked a little old for his age, and he was supported by people when he walked. He looked at Sawyer and couldn't help feeling: "I haven't seen you for a few years, and the young master Sawyer is getting better and better. "

Sawyer looked at the old man whose name he couldn't remember, and said modestly, "You are too complimentary." He said, leading everyone into the house.

A group of people filed in one after another. Lisa Manda looked at Sawyer, who was praised by everyone. He was mature and stable, friendly but still majestic. No one could find any faults. She couldn't help but gritted her teeth secretly. What happened in the past few months? ?Can make him change like this!

It’s just that there are about ten more people, and the dinner will be ready soon. The manager asked Sawyer for instructions, and Sawyer smiled and invited everyone to have dinner together. Sawyer stopped with a few words lightly.

Sawyer didn't even move his eyebrows, and just said lightly: "Lisa Manda, all uncles are here, don't forget your identity, you broke the rules."

The people who were chatting and laughing just now fell silent immediately, looking at their hearts. The young master Sawyer was still the same young master Sawyer, but the cold and aloof look turned from the outside to the inside.Only the old man who was supported and sitting beside Sawyer raised his head, and there was a hint of approval in his cloudy eyes.

……

"Master Casper, good evening!" Ryan stepped into the hall, and saw the red figure active in the crowd from a distance, flying towards him dexterously like a butterfly.

Viscount Kasper was an upright man with a handsome face and a personable manner. He was a well-known romantic figure in the imperial capital. Seeing Ryan coming alone, he asked with a smile, "Why didn't Master Sawyer come today?"

Ryan spread his hands helplessly: "Qiuqiu ate his stomach badly at noon, he has to watch the little guy at home."

"Qiaoqiu? Is that the little baby you brought back? I heard that he is a very cute little guy. It's a pity that he didn't come." Casper stretched out his long arm and wrapped it around Ryan's neck in an intimate gesture. Hanging the goblet filled with red wine, he swung around in front of him, lowered his voice with an ambiguous face: "He has a high temper, it's a good thing if he doesn't come, tonight, I've invited all the beauties from the entire imperial capital. .”

Ryan, who was smothered by the heavy perfume on Casper's body, turned his head slightly, glanced at the lip marks on the lower side of Casper's cheek from the corner of his eyes, looked back silently, smiled slightly, and lowered his voice: "There are so many people. , It will always reach Sawyer's ears, I'd better restrain myself."

Casper laughed loudly, patted Ryan on the shoulder, and winked at him: "I understand, I arranged a room upstairs, and I will take you there later."

Ryan naturally understands what this room means. He smiled and said nothing at the moment. In Casper's eyes, this appearance has another meaning. Now he is taking Ryan to meet the handsome people of the younger generation in the imperial capital. .Ryan didn't refuse. Since he planned to settle down in the imperial capital, it was inevitable for him to integrate into the circle of nobles. Now that someone is willing to match him up, why wouldn't he do it?

Facing Ryan, these young nobles and young ladies were really a little tangled. When they didn't remember his origin at the beginning, these young people had no illusions and wanted to build a good relationship with the youngest general in the empire. There are even many who want to develop a romantic relationship with him. However, with the exposure of his true identity and his refusal to join the Will family on the day of the award, the young general seems to be too careful It's not a good sign to be arrogant, you know, the most important thing in the imperial capital is people with meritorious deeds, and the most taboo is arrogance and arrogance.So in the past two days, the nobles of the imperial capital did not intentionally make friends with Ryan, and everyone was watching. Although Ryan was awarded an honor, he had not yet finalized the fief, and everyone was waiting to see this young man How much is a general worth in the eyes of His Majesty the Emperor.

Although they are clear in their hearts, they will not show it. Everyone is very respectful of Casper's enthusiasm, and praises are generously piled up on Ryan, and those girls who are passionate will even take the initiative to invite Ryan dances.

Ryan almost never refuses anyone, but when dancing, he always inadvertently thinks about what it would be like if the person in front of him was that person. Speaking of which, the two of them seem to have never danced together.

Looking at the figure on the dance floor, Casper's brown eyes shone with calculations, and his smile was even brighter. Over the years, there are really not many people who can slap Duke Sweet in the face in public, let alone consecutive Two slaps, Kasper doesn't care about Ryan's status in the future, what he cares about is how much Ryan can be used by him.

When Ryan gradually got tired of the endless invitations, Casper intervened again: "I said girls, I'm afraid I have to borrow your General Ryan for a while." En left the banquet hall and went up to the third floor, where there was a "room" specially prepared for Ryan by Kasper.

Casper embraced Ryan, and winked at him ambiguously: "The one I prepared for you is a stunner, unique in this imperial capital, I just brought it back from overseas a while ago, and it has already bloomed. Keep it as you like."

Ryan smiled very reservedly, warmly, but not coldly. There was a smile in his amber eyes, and he didn't know if it was because of the stunner or the upcoming good show.

In order to express his sincerity, Casper deliberately arranged the man in the innermost hidden room. After walking for a while and turning a corner, his eyes suddenly became dark. There is a door under each magic lamp, and there are four lamps in total. The four bedrooms here are where Casper usually enjoys himself, and he rarely invites outsiders.The two of them had just walked a few steps, when there were vague moans and groans in the air, Casper's face changed slightly, he had ordered in the morning that there would be a distinguished guest tonight, so why would there be someone!

In front of Ryan, Casper didn't feel like having a fit, so he walked over with a slightly sullen face, and pushed one of the doors open, and the voice inside immediately came out without hindrance. It's not very good, this was ordered by Karpaste, just for fun, but I didn't expect it to become a joke today.

"Ah... quick, quick! Ah... so, so great!" The woman screamed high-pitched, kneeling on the bed, swinging back and forth with the movement, and the two white balls on her chest flashed across the air an arc.

The man was still wearing clothes, with the corners of his lips hooked, and slapped the woman's butt: "Is it better for me or your man? He plays with other people outside every day, can he feed you?"

Ryan had already taken two steps back in the first place, his eyes lowered slightly, and he didn't even take a second look.Casper's face was full of frost, he took two deep breaths, suddenly took out a magic scroll, threw it towards the two people on the bed, and closed the door resolutely after hearing painful screams from inside .Immediately, he didn't know what he pressed on the wall, and the door disappeared like this, replaced by a complete wall.

"I made you laugh." When Casper turned around, the gloom on his face had long since disappeared, as if he just set fire to two flies instead of his wife and Duke Sweet's son Oliver.

Ryan shrugged: "There are always accidents in life."

"for example?"

"Woke up one day, and suddenly there was a crying son outside the door."

Casper laughed out loud: "It was indeed an accident. Have you never doubted whether that little guy is your son?" Normally, Casper would definitely not say such impolite words, but after going through With the shock of that scene just now, he urgently needs an outlet to vent his inner boredom.

Fortunately, Ryan didn't care, and smiled helplessly: "He fell for me as soon as he opened his eyes, golden eyes, small balls, looking very cute, so I accepted it."

"I'm getting more and more interested in your little baby." Casper turned his head and looked at Ryan: "Thank you for your comfort, I think I'm in the mood to clean up this mess."

"It's a pleasure to help you."

While the two were talking, there was a muffled sound, and the whole house seemed to shake slightly. Ryan knew that it was Oliver who was sealed in the room. He heard that his swordsmanship had reached the sixth level. A secret room should be Can't beat him.Karpas' face darkened: "Ryan, I'm sorry for disappointing you today, and I will definitely come to apologize at another day."

Ryan said seriously: "You are too out of touch. Tonight I met many nobles through you, and I would like to thank you for your support."

Karpas was obviously satisfied with Ryan's sense of humor: "I'll send someone to take you back first, lest the family dirty your eyes."

Ryan politely declined: "You are too polite, my housekeeper is outside, I just go back by myself."

Karpas did not insist, and personally sent Ryan to the door, watched him get into the carriage, and then put away the smile on his face, his eyes were gloomy.

Not far away, Ryan's carriage turned into a small alley and turned around. Ryan folded his legs and quietly looked at the Viscount's Mansion not far from the window, patiently waiting for the upcoming big show.Ryan didn't wait too long, a black carriage drove into the Viscount's mansion with the familiar logo on it.After a while, many carriages left the Viscount's Mansion one after another, and they were all noble young masters and ladies attending the banquet.Then, a black figure quickly landed beside the carriage and said in a low voice: "Master, the Duke of Sweet has come in person. The woman has been burned to death. Oliver was seriously injured. Viscount Capas is talking to the Duke of Sweet." Confront and refuse to let Oliver go."

Ryan, who was hidden in the darkness, couldn't see his expression clearly, only the amber eyes flashed with a cold light: "Are you sure she's dead?"

"Yes, Viscount Casper used an intermediate magic scroll, and the corpse is completely out of shape."

Ryan closed his eyes and said lightly, "Let's go."

The carriage left quietly, heading towards Earl Angus's mansion.

Ryan, who closed his eyes and rested in the car, suddenly opened his eyes, his body was tense, and he rushed out of the carriage like a cheetah attacking. Almost the moment he left, the carriage was blown to pieces with a bang.
