Chapter 51 The Butler's Hatred

Three days passed in a flash.

During these three days, Andy made potions and cultivated evil spirits during the day.

At night, he entered the Palace of Mystery and faced the "blonde boy" who was not ashamed to ask questions, became more and more studious, and paid more and more attention to him.

The days passed in a regular and peaceful manner.

But that’s not the case.

For example, Sister Lily, who had claimed that she would come to him once there was progress in the housekeeping matter, never showed up again.

For example, his potion-making activities were inevitably discovered by the people on the island.

This was bound to happen. The food and water sources were in the hands of the organization. The nanny had to come to deliver meals and clean the house every day. It was impossible for her not to see what was happening.

On the other hand, those extraordinary people on the island who have attended the lectures would come to visit every now and then and were very clear about Andy's current situation.

However, these people did not see the results, they only saw the steps during Andy's time.

Although those operations were precise and professional, because they were low-level potions, people just thought that he was very talented in pharmacy and was able to quickly get the hang of it after just a few days of exposure.

He never thought that the medicine he brewed was a huge "gold mountain" that even the emperor of the empire would be greedy for.

"So, his initial clumsiness in herbology was all an act."

The crystal ball in the office cannot monitor others at will. This requires the presence of equipment or the presence of the person carrying the equipment on site.

But as for Andy's current situation, the black deputy mayor who has been paying close attention to him has always been in control behind the scenes.

In the past, if he found out that Andy was hiding his abilities, he would just laugh and scold him, and maybe even be quite pleased.

However, now, he was extremely displeased with it and even felt disgusted by it.

No one likes a prisoner who always behaves beyond expectations, even though such behavior seems insignificant to him.

However, with the existence of the evil spirit, he was unwilling to do anything extreme, lest the situation collapse, the organization be damaged, and the plan be unable to proceed.

It’s actually quite good to maintain the current “non-aggression” tacit understanding…

"What did the butler say?"

The deputy mayor turned and looked at the middle-aged priest standing at the window not far away.

"First he didn't believe us, then he became furious, and then he swore to wipe us out."

The priest, who had already had some initial contact with the butler, answered in a nonchalant tone.

"But he couldn't find any clues. In the end, there was no other possibility except compromise."

"Are you sure he can't find it?"

The deputy mayor had some doubts about this. "That old mad dog, if he's pushed to the limit, he might do anything. What if we launch a second round of searches..."

"You see he is arrogant now, but actually he always knows his limits."

The priest looked casual, as if he had everything under control. "If it's the same as last time, then he still won't gain anything. And if he goes even further, the royal family won't really ignore it."

"Anyway, he's pretty crazy now."

Under the awestruck gaze of the deputy mayor, Father Matthew remained calm and spoke in a firm tone.

"But within a week, he would give up struggling and contact me."

…

As the priest expected, the butler was indeed crazy now.

After learning Andy's true origins and discovering that he had been tricked, he was extremely angry and even broke several of his beloved antique collections in anger!

The search operation, which had been suspended, was launched again.

But this did not achieve anything, and he was not crazy enough to actually detain innocent extraordinary people and torture them - that would only expose his abnormality and lead to questioning by the royal family.

Therefore, this old man, who looks like a university professor, can only work based on some clues he had obtained in the past.

"Have you found the wife and daughter of the police chief?"

Standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling window on a high floor of a building, overlooking the city scene below, he did not look at all embarrassed on the surface.

He had an extraordinary demeanor and a calm expression, and his tone when asking the secretary behind him was still very calm.

"He lives in the city of Eero in the east of France. We have already sent people to investigate the exact location."

The middle-aged female secretary replied, "There will be results within three days."

"very good."

The old housekeeper nodded when he heard this. "But things are different abroad than at home. Bring the person back home first after you catch him. If they don't know any useful clues, it will be convenient to deal with them cleanly."

"Okay." The secretary responded respectfully, as if the discussion was not about a few lives.

"Where is the innkeeper?" the housekeeper then asked.

"No matter how we torture him, he still can't give any valuable clues," the secretary replied.

"His wife?"

"I also know nothing."

"What a pair of rubbish..."

The old butler sighed helplessly, but was not surprised. He waved his hand and signaled the secretary to leave.

The office immediately fell into silence.

Standing in front of the French window, overlooking the busy traffic below, the old man in a suit looked at the subtle and exquisite city scenery for a long time with a normal expression, as if his mood was not affected by this incident.

However, this is just an illusion.

Although he looked calm on the outside, his heart was filled with resentment.

"Damn you Matthew!"

These words kept turning over in the old butler's mind, and he hated this man to the core.

If it weren't for Matthew, how could he have been deceived?

How did it end up like this? After discovering the sick boy, he would definitely deal with him immediately! He was still very happy at the time.

There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!

Not to mention that he easily sidelined the somewhat dishonest Norman bishop.

He could even kick that so-called talented kid into the shithole in public, in front of everyone.

Let them know that the so-called talent they value is worthless in the face of power! When he saw the boy in such a miserable state, being cornered by a group of maggots in the cesspool, he couldn't help laughing out loud, as if he was watching a wonderful drama.

The highlight of the drama comes from the group of fools who greedily surround him for the opportunity to please him.

It also comes from the sharp contrast between the young genius who should have grown up to be a hero and fell into such a miserable situation.

If the final ending was that the boy died of hunger and his body was eaten, then this drama would definitely have a happy ending.

Unfortunately, what happened next made him feel very bad.

The boy disappeared and was rescued. A group of people are working against him in secret and are using the boy to fight against him - this is no different from standing up and slapping him in the face!

So as a retaliation, he chose to launch a large-scale search in the area, distributed videos, and asked them to write their reviews.

Innocent people will be hurt, but what can we do about it?

That group of lower-level extraordinary people, each of them thinks highly of themselves, but few of them have any other choice except to endure it.

As long as he can serve the people above him well, his position will naturally not be shaken at all...

At this time, the housekeeper had not yet realized the seriousness of the matter.

Just regarded this as a provocation.

Until a letter appeared quietly in his office.

The letter was written by Matthew. Its content not only mentioned the potential that Andy had recently shown, but also focused on his background and what consequences this would cause.

The obvious threat made the butler extremely angry, but then he broke out in a cold sweat, realizing that if this matter was not handled properly, it would inevitably bring disastrous consequences!

But how to deal with it?

Find out where the rebels are hiding and kill them all? He is doing this now.

Bribing a certain traitor, letting him sneak up on the boy and kill the troublemaker? This is the backup plan.

But what if none of these can be done? The rebel organization wants to use the boy to force the royal family to give up their interests. This opportunity is rare, and the interests must be astonishingly huge.

If he really compromised and agreed to act as a go-between for those traitors, what good outcome would he, the butler who made a mistake in his work, have?

They will only be severely punished by the royal family who suffered heavy losses!

But if he didn't compromise, and couldn't find the place where the rebels were hiding the boy, when the time came, if the royal family's plan to compete for the disciple was destroyed, what would be the fate of him as a butler? It would be much worse than matchmaking!

Even if he escaped to the other side of the world, he would definitely be caught by the royal guards! Then, just as he tortured those passers-by who could be manipulated at will today, the royal family would torture him in the same way, making his life worse than death, and his family would suffer as well...

One has serious consequences, but if handled well, it may save lives.

The other one is worse off than death...

What to choose is actually already determined.

Therefore, at this moment, although he seemed to be investigating clues angrily, he actually had some plans.

"But even if I do, I will compromise with you in the end."

The old butler looked calm, but he was filled with hatred. "Matthew, don't expect this to end well for you!"

No matter how you handle this matter, you can't keep the power and status you have fought for a lifetime.

He wanted to eat Father Matthew, the instigator of all this, alive! As for the root of this matter, the boy named Andy, he didn't care much.

Just a tool to be manipulated. Although important, who would place hostility on such a thing? "Why didn't I just deal with him directly at that time?"

The housekeeper felt very regretful about this, "Why watch a play when there is nothing to do..."

While thinking this, he didn't know that a counterattack drafted by "Tool" had been gathered in the dark and was aimed at his vital points!

Father Matthew was in control of everything, but from here on, a fatal mistake began to occur!
