Chapter 222: Devil’s Backlash
"What's wrong with her?"
The next morning, when Colin was having breakfast at Fisher Manor, he suddenly saw anxious servants walking quickly in the corridor. They were supporting a girl covered in blood and coming to a room with a bed.
Because Lillian had left Fisher Manor and headed for the island, they could only ask the family doctor to treat the injured girl.
Colin raised his eyebrows, quickly finished his meal, stood up, and went to the room to investigate the situation.
Several servants looked at the injured girl nervously, with panicked expressions.
“I don’t know if she can make it.”
"It's so pitiful and unfortunate that Miss Lillian is not at the manor."
He narrowed his eyes. The girl seemed to be a maid in Baron Nasi's house.
Yes, it was the little girl that Baron Nashi promised to him...
"Why is she hurt?"
As a big businessman working for the Fisher family, Colin naturally has many mistresses around him, but he prefers clear transactions and relatively mature women. Bullying little girls is not something a gentleman should do.
He shook his head, turned around and left without wanting to get involved.
Sang Bei'er received medical treatment immediately. Although she was seriously injured, she did not die and had no sequelae. She was very lucky.
But she is unable to travel long distances for the time being and must rest.
Everyone wanted to know why the little girl was injured, so a maid at Fisher Manor said:
"She seemed to have suddenly rolled down the hillside. I don't know what happened. Maybe it was caused by a sudden illness."
After hearing this, everyone thought that Sang Bei'er might have some hidden illness, so they looked for an experienced doctor.
The doctor shook his head and said, "I can't find out the specific situation for now, but as long as she rests and waits for Ms. Lillian to come back, even if she has any hidden diseases, they will be cured. It is lucky for this girl to come to Nasir Town."
After waking up, Sang Bei'er learned that the housekeeper had left and she had to recuperate in Fisher Manor for a while, at least a month, or even two months, because that was when Ms. Lillian would come back.
"Ah, if that's the case, will Baron Nasi fire me? But my family needs money. Really, I really need a job. Woo woo ...
She pretended to be horrified, her eyes became red and swollen from tears, her lips trembled, and she soon began to sob.
Sang Bei'er couldn't help but cover her face with her hands, trying to hide her tears.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I just can't help it, I'm sorry..."
Seeing the girl crying like a little deer, almost everyone couldn't help but feel sympathy for her.
The old and burly Theo stared at the girl calmly. After a long while, he made a decision and said, "Don't worry, Ms. Sanbel. Even if you are really expelled by Baron Nasi, the Fisher family will not leave you alone."
"It is indeed the Fisher family's responsibility that an outside guest caused trouble in our family."
Sang Beier was surprised and delighted and said, "Ah, really? Thank you, I really thank you. The Fisher family is indeed the hero of Syat."
Theo nodded slightly, turned and left without saying anything else.
And when everyone left the room, a happy smile appeared on the girl's lips.
I have the opportunity to stay in Fisher Manor for several months. Whether I can change my destiny depends on my future efforts!

Red leaves swayed in the breeze and gradually covered the ground.
"We are here, Lord Byrne."
The coachman respectfully opened the door, and Byrne calmly got out of the carriage. The other person who got out of the carriage was a woman, the Emerald Elf named March.
Even though times have changed, March's appearance has hardly changed over the decades.
She still had the same stunning beauty as when Byrne first saw her decades ago. As soon as she left the carriage, she immediately attracted the surprised gazes of the people nearby.
Byrne, who had gray hair on his temples, noticed this scene and couldn't help but say self-deprecatingly, "I really envy you elves. You have a very long lifespan, and your looks never age. You are always full of charm, unlike us humans whose lifespans are always fleeting."
He had never understood the meaning of aging before, until recently when he began to feel increasingly physically and mentally exhausted.
March frowned slightly, looked at the middle-aged Byrne with displeasure, and said in an unfriendly tone:
"Your family promised to help find something, but there has been no news for so many years. You still have the nerve to ask me to kill someone."
Originally, March's whereabouts were always erratic, but in recent years, at Byrne's instruction, the Fischer family built a small wooden house for her to stay.
As a result, she spent a lot of time living in the cottage, and it became easier for the Fisher family to find the Emerald Fairy.
As a foreign aid of the Fischer family, March has always kept a distance from them and is only willing to take action when the Fischer family pays enough benefits.
This time, Byrne invited March over and of course paid him enough compensation. Now the Fischer family already has a lot of capital.
The weather was getting colder, and March stared at the luxurious manor in front of him.
"Is this where Viscount Best lives? The maple trees nearby are telling me that there are many powerful transcendents in this manor."
In front of us is Viscount Best's Maple Leaf Manor. Maple leaves are falling around like red snowflakes, dancing lightly in the air. The sunlight penetrates the gaps between the leaves, lighting up their fiery colors, as if the whole world is dyed with burning orange-red.
Byrne walked forward slowly. The Flame maid who once entertained him had now entered middle age and became the head maid of this manor. It seemed that everything had passed very quickly.
He walked into the manor silently. The guests waiting to be received all recognized the man who came in. They all stood up, and many of them even bowed excitedly.
"Mr. Byrne! Good day!"
"It's an honor to meet you, Lord Byrne!"
"Our hero, Lord Byrne, you have always been my idol!"
Byrne smiled and nodded slightly, responding to everyone calmly.
He no longer needed any separate reception room. Instead, under the guidance of the Flame Clan head maid, he went straight to Viscount Best's study without any waiting. The treatment he enjoyed was almost the same as that of an important member of the Lion Family.
The Flame Maid asked calmly and politely, "Excuse me, who is this lady?"
Byrne nodded slightly and said calmly, "She is my friend, an emerald elf who came from afar. This time, she came with me to help the Viscount."
"I see."
The Flame Clan head maid nodded slightly, without asking any more questions, and then led Byrne and March to Viscount Best's study.
"Byrne, you're finally here. Haha, we can set off in two days."
"Well, who is this beautiful elf lady?"
Byrne introduced her again: "She is Sanyue. As you can see, she is a noble emerald elf, a friend of the Fisher family. She came from afar. I invited her to help this time."
"Hello."
March said hello calmly and didn't say anything else. She couldn't even be respectful to Viscount Best.
"Thank you for coming, noble elf."
Viscount Best smiled, not caring at all about March's arrogance.
Byrne asked bluntly, "Are we leaving in two days? Who are we waiting for? Renzo? Abel?"
Viscount Best shook his head slightly and explained:
"Renzo is here and he is resting in his room. As for Abel, he can't come back from the front because the decisive battle of this war is likely to break out at the front."
Byrne fell into deep thought, and couldn't help but think of Darren, who was still alive but missing, and muttered to himself: "A decisive battle?"
Viscount Best nodded slightly and explained who would be coming next.
“Well, our acting bishop Zain Fussack is coming too. I made a deal with him. He helped me break through to the monarch level, and I will help him break through to the monarch level in the future.”
Viscount Best paused for a moment, then continued with a smile, “At that time, Zain will no longer be the acting bishop, but the real Storm Bishop!”
"I see."
It wasn't that unexpected. Byrne nodded slightly. It was common for various forces to help each other, and the exchange of favors and resources was something that all families would do.
In recent years, church forces have gradually been contaminated by worldly things and are no longer supernatural organizations that purely serve the gods.
Viscount Best remained silent for a long time, and his eyes were slightly red.
His body suddenly fell to one side, his palms pressed against the wall, he gasped for breath, his body shaking.
"What's wrong with you?"
At this moment, Byrne suddenly felt something was very wrong, and the air around him seemed to be stagnant.
March stepped back coldly, stared at Viscount Best and said, "Why is there such a strong demonic aura?"
Viscount Bester looked very unhappy. He barely stood up, his body trembling constantly, and he said to himself, "It's bad, this bad guy can't control himself anymore..."
"You better be careful, demons, demons from hell..." He was almost speechless.
Byrne was slightly stunned and could feel the terrifying aura rising.
He had seen the transaction between Viscount Best and "Sun Gold" and knew that Viscount Best had mastered the forbidden knowledge of signing a contract with the devil, but he had never known what the price was.
So that's how it is. The price of signing a devil's contract is the possibility of being attacked back by the devil's power in hell?
The air around him gradually became colder, Viscount Best's body began to tremble more and more violently, and his eyes became increasingly bloodshot.
"ah!"
The black shadow behind Viscount Best suddenly stood up, like a slender ghost, and reached out to grab Byrne.
