To be honest, although Yun Wei had been staying at Xi De's house for some time, he was not familiar with this old-fashioned, fat butler, and the two had basically never had any private conversations.
His likes and dislikes were without any reason; he simply felt the way the other person looked at him...
It made him extremely uncomfortable.
He had heard Sid mention that the butler was an old man who had served the other party's father.
Yun Wei quickly got up and walked to the door, asking softly, "Butler George, what happened?"
He appeared calm on the surface, but inside he was inevitably flustered, to the point that his voice trembled almost imperceptibly.
His first thought was whether something had happened to Isaac.
Although the other party planned to take action tomorrow, he couldn't help but worry that something unexpected might have happened.
“Oh, Mr. Claude…” Butler George took out a handkerchief from his coat pocket and calmly wiped the fine sweat from his round head, but hesitated to speak.
Yun Wei's heart clenched when he heard the other person sigh. Seeing the other person's stammering appearance, he couldn't help but frown and ask in a deep voice, "What exactly happened?"
The pressure emanating from the Archmage was released involuntarily, and the old butler's movements seemed to be fast-forwarded. Even so, he still meticulously wiped all the fine sweat from his forehead.
Startled by Yun Wei's seemingly fiery gaze, the old butler with his goatee trembled slightly before slowly saying, "The 'Clan Head' has arrived. Young Master Sid is not here, so I can only ask you to entertain him."
Clearly, the "family patriarch" he spoke of was none other than Sid's uncle, the current leader of the Gilded Clan, the governor of Alchemy City, and the de facto figure to whom the Golden Cloud Kingdom's royal family pledged allegiance.
Haines Ryukjin.
Upon hearing this, Yun Wei's vision went black.
Even though he had never met the other person, he had already put a very heavy filter on the other person because he had been immersed in Sid's merciless criticism of the other person every day.
Haines is definitely not a kind person.
It's worth noting that this is how Sid described the other person: "Shrewd and cold-blooded, yet always smiling and benevolent, while doing ruthless and bloodless things."
Moreover, Yun Wei had already considered the other party as the most likely person in Alchemy City to have come into contact with the Abyss.
Even though he was inwardly frightened, Yun Wei didn't show it on his face.
After all, this news is much better than anything unexpected happening to Isaac.
As he untied his leather apron behind his back, he replied to George, "Okay, I'll be there in a bit."
Upon hearing this, George bowed respectfully, but couldn't help but remind him, "Please don't keep the 'Clan Head' waiting any longer."
Thinking of this, fine beads of sweat couldn't help but appear on his forehead again.
Sigh, what can I say? Young Master Sid shouldn't have entrusted the laboratory to this ill-mannered Easterner.
Even the other party's servants were incredibly rude, constantly sneaking into his kitchen.
The key point is that the other party's dishes were so novel that they immediately made him pale in comparison.
I heard they're still in that kind of relationship. Tsk, the world is truly going to the dogs. I wonder what young master Sid was thinking, associating with someone like that…
Now look what's happened! If Chief Haines gets angry, oh dear!
His already meager year-end bonus is about to be further reduced.
Even though he was inwardly sighing, Butler George still proudly raised his chin and swayed his bulky body as he walked away.
Yun Wei silently rolled his eyes at the other person's penguin-like back. Although he didn't know what the other person was thinking, just by looking at their expression, he knew it definitely wasn't anything nice.
He closed the door, but instead took out a moon-white mage's robe and changed into it.
Because he had never formally dealt with the nobles of the continent of Zhuyuan.
He also did not specifically study aristocratic etiquette.
Strangely enough, the nobles he encountered were either close friends or, like the older students who were pierced by the straw puppets, clearly incompatible with each other.
If the other party is also an arrogant and conceited fool, then forget it.
Putting everything else aside, as far as he knew, Haines Liujin was also a seventh-level archmage.
This may be the fundamental reason why the 'Hand of the Gods' and 'Eye of Truth' are becoming increasingly powerful, yet the Golden Family is still able to maintain control of the narrative.
In any case, becoming a level seven professional, especially a level seven mage, means being able to cast forbidden spells.
Forbidden spells are forbidden magic, often possessing devastating power, but always come at a price.
Any forbidden spell must be a level seven spell; however, a level seven spell is not necessarily a forbidden spell. For example, Dean Victor's "Shock and Mind" is only a level seven lightning spell.
However, whether it's forbidden spells or seventh-level magic, they are all symbols of absolute power, representing supreme authority.
So, Yun Wei lowered his eyes and carefully smoothed out the wrinkles at the hem, letting them converse as magicians.
After all, in terms of magical power alone, the sixth-level high-rank and the seventh-level low-rank have exactly the same level of magical power.
His mental strength had already reached the high level of the seventh rank.
He pushed open the door and slowly walked towards the living room at the other end of the corridor.
The golden sunset streamed through the floor-to-ceiling windows, casting its light onto the dark red carpet on the floor. The light at the edges blended into jagged shadows, creating what seemed to be another golden twilight moment.
As he finally passed through the last arched doorway, bypassed the intricately carved triangular display shelf, and entered the luxurious yet desolate living room, he immediately met a sharp gaze.
Haines Ryujin was sitting on a sofa covered with sea monster hide.
The other person leaned back on the sofa against the light, their posture relaxed but not lazy, exuding the aura of a superior.
And the starting point of that gaze was a pair of equally emerald green eyes.
This was the first time Yun Wei had seen such eyes since arriving on the Zhuyuan Continent.
The turquoise was not as pure as Sid's, yet it was also different from the murky turbidity of Manglin Liujin; it was more like a man-made emerald.
Wise and calm, deviating from nature, only lacking human warmth.
Almost simultaneously with that gaze came a surge of immense and overwhelming spiritual pressure.
The surging mental energy attack did not contain any killing intent, but the contempt and ridicule within it were obvious. Clearly, this governor was not happy to be ignored by outsiders for so long in his own nephew's residence.
To his surprise, the Easterner in front of him completely ignored the mental energy attack that he had specifically controlled.
Amidst the gasps of the obsequious butler beside him, the other man sat down casually on the sofa opposite him, his back straight and his eyes fixed straight ahead, a faint smile playing on his lips.
The other party calmly spoke: "Since I came to the Zhuyuan Continent, you are the third person to try to intimidate me with your spiritual power."
The other person's voice was low and husky, yet clearly audible, as if the two were very close and he just happened to want to tell you.
Haines noticed that the other person was looking at him with neither arrogance nor servility.
Those dark eyes were mysterious, serene, and unfathomable.
