"Yes, Lord Viscount."

Livia placed her right hand on her left chest and bowed slightly. It seemed that she realized that she was a superhuman. Although if they were both superhumans, unless the strength was much higher, it would be difficult to see that a superhuman of the same level was restraining his strength, but unfortunately, the fluctuations emitted by magic items would be difficult not to be exposed unless they were covered up with spells. After all, one or two magic items could be considered as good luck, but several or even a whole body of magic items could be seen at a glance.

Unfortunately, Livia had no means or techniques to cover up.

"What are you doing for?"

Natalia narrowed her eyes, raised the corners of her mouth slightly, and asked meaningfully.

"It's embarrassing to say that I do it for a living."

Livia looked at her and smiled wryly, saying that this was indeed his true feelings. If he didn't find a way to make some money, he might not even have money to eat in a few days.

Natalia stared into his eyes, as if trying to see whether what he said was true or false, while Livia looked at her frankly.

No matter how slow Caius was, he felt something was wrong. He lowered his head in confusion and looked at Viscount Natalia in front of him and Livia beside him from time to time, constantly guessing in his heart.

Seeing Livia looking at her frankly, she really couldn't see anything unusual in his eyes, "..." She silently moved her eyes away and fell on Caius in front of her, "You brought a very good person with you."

"ah……

Um, Lady Natalia, do you want to test his skills?"

Caius was stunned for a moment, then raised his head slightly and spoke quickly.

"Um?"

Natalia, who had turned her eyes away and was about to say something else, turned her head and looked at him in confusion after hearing his words, "You don't know?"

She was a little puzzled. Didn’t he know that the person he brought was a superhuman?

Want to try your skills again?

Caius frowned and looked up, the doubt in his eyes becoming more intense.

Originally, he wanted to mediate this weird atmosphere while fighting to see the strength of this guy named Livia, but now he is a little confused about what is going on. Why does he not know something and what he should know?

Natalia looked at him with a frown on his face and a puzzled expression, glanced at the black-haired young man next to him with a slight smile on his face, raised her eyebrows, and understood what was going on.

"It's okay. I think the people you brought with you are quite capable. Please wait a moment. I have some things ready. We can talk about it after the others arrive."

Natalia waved her right hand lightly, then turned around and walked upstairs again. The housekeeper bowed to them and quickly followed.

The movements were not at all sluggish, but they felt a little unique.

Livia watched her back disappear on the stairs, still thinking about her appearance and her body that showed seductive curves even in the light armor.

As for his strength as a superhuman, he couldn't feel much. After all, it was hard to see the strength of a superhuman before actually fighting. What's more, the strength felt when a fight really started did not completely determine the outcome.

But he thought that she should be on par with him, or at most a little stronger than him. After all, he heard that she came this time to collect medicines and refine potions to advance to high-level transcendence. Based on the high-level transcendence he had seen and the books he read, he guessed that the watershed between low-level transcendence and high-level transcendence was when a single attribute broke through 30.

"Livia."

Watching Natalia's back disappearing on the stairs, Caius turned his head expressionlessly and shouted at Livia beside him.

"Um?

What's wrong?"

Livia still had a smile on her face, and when she heard him calling her, she looked at him with a smile.

Caius looked at him seriously, his eyes were very serious, while Livia looked at him indifferently, waiting for his next words without any emotional fluctuations.

Just like that, the two of them looked at each other without saying anything, and the atmosphere in the empty hall suddenly became tense.

Creak~ Just as Caius was about to speak, the door of the mansion was slowly pushed open.

"Oh, I thought I was early enough, but I didn't expect there are even earlier ones."

A heroic voice came from the door. Before she saw the person, a general appearance of the person had already appeared in Livia's mind.

Caius and Livia turned around and looked at the door. A man in his thirties, wearing dark brown leather armor and carrying a nearly one-meter-long axe on his back, walked in. He was stout and strong, with a weather-beaten face.

As Livia looked at him, she found that he was also looking at her.

What Livia was concerned about was whether the other party was a superhuman. However, he didn't seem to have any signs of superhuman powers. There was not even a trace of superhuman power on his body or around him. He seemed to be just an ordinary human being.

"Paros the Butcher, your colleague."

Caius looked at the burly man at the door with serious eyes and whispered.

Colleagues?

A bounty hunter?

Livia was stunned for a moment and then realized that the colleagues he was talking about were bounty hunters, but...

Butcher, this is not a good name...

Having this title means that he is at least not such a good person. It makes sense. The reputation of bounty hunters in this world is similar to that of witchers in the wizarding world. Moreover, they are not the kind whose reputation is damaged, but real villains!

A bounty hunter like Will...

It would be considered good if one out of ten can succeed.

Thinking of this, Livia looked at the other party with a serious look, while the middle-aged man called "butcher" seemed to be completely unconcerned about their strange looks and walked straight towards them.

As he approached, a pungent smell of blood hit Livia's face, causing him to frown. Although Caius, who was standing next to him, did not have as sharp a perception and sense of smell as Livia, he also felt a little uncomfortable with the smell of the approaching strong man.

"You're going again...

Murder?"

Caius looked at the approaching burly man with an unhappy expression and asked, "Aha, I received a mission a few days ago to kill a group of bandits near the next town. What's wrong? Do you have a problem with me killing one or two bandits?"

The sturdy man who was walking towards him suddenly reached out and touched the back of his head, and said thoughtfully, but a playful smile appeared on the corner of his mouth as he looked at Caius, "Oh, by the way, I remember there seemed to be another guy in that group of guys who looked quite similar to you, but he bled to death, and before he died he cried and begged for mercy from me, saying that he was forced to become a bandit and had never killed anyone, hahahaha..." Paros, the "butcher", suddenly slapped the back of his head and laughed ferociously.

"Pa. Ros."

Caius said through gritted teeth, and although his expression remained unchanged, his tone revealed his anger.

The relationship between these two people seems to be very bad, even hostile.

Livia looked unhappy as he watched from the side. Although he did not mind others killing robbers and other villains, he felt uncomfortable when he heard from this guy who was nicknamed "butcher" that he killed others by torturing them. Killing people was not right.

Thanks to Dreamy Lemon for the monthly ticket. I had something to do today so the update was a little late.
