Chapter 759 - 677: Lanci’s Reunion with the Red-Haired Young Man
The next day.
Monday in Pariel.
At night, gazing into the sky, the stars twinkle brilliantly.
"Autumn is fast approaching."
One of the great benefits of the open-air arena is the ability to look up at the starry sky at any time.
That being said, he didn’t have any particular thoughts about it.
It was already late August.
This slightly hot season was also coming to an end.
In Sector 6 of the North Shore of Pariel, the capital of Poseen Kingdom, the Sacred Silvervine Arena wasn’t too far from the bustling Section 4 of Pariel where Count Bathist’s mansion was located.
Today, after finishing his day’s work at Count Bathist’s mansion, Lanci was called upon by the count’s young mistress, Christina, to participate in a proxy competition at this arena.
With the start of a new week, the "any family member can make additional use of the butler for up to two hours per week" treaty refreshed, and Christina didn’t hesitate to make use of it.
In her view, if luck was on her side, maybe today she could pay off enough of the butler’s breach of contract penalty.
Unfortunately, reality was harsh.
Today they fought only one hired match and there were no more competitions after that.
It wasn’t that no one was willing to hire Rocky, but rather, no opponent was willing to come forward; Rocky easily won again today.
At least for this week, it seemed she had no chance to dismiss this butler and would have to let him work around the house for another week.
"No matter what, we’ve already saved over thirty thousand pounds; we’ll be able to cash in soon enough."
Christina waited by the railing of the Annex’s spectator stand, observing the expression of the brown-haired, green-eyed butler beside her.
Even now, she was vaguely worried that the butler was tricking her.
When the time came, and she offered fifty thousand pounds, he might not leave.
"Don’t worry, Miss, I always keep my word,"
Probing a strong person’s power was like asking a woman’s age; it could be considered offensive.
"I can fight, but winning isn’t guaranteed,"
Lanci pondered briefly before replying.
The output in a state of possession was significantly reduced.
The main issue was the supply of mana; Tata was not built for strong attacks, and if the opponent wasn’t taken out in a minute or two, defeat was certain.
"What about if you encountered an Eighth-order enemy..."
Christina’s heart raced, probing without much hope.
Since she had already brought it up, she bravely went all in with her query, not knowing if Butler Rocky would answer her.
"Run, turn around and run,"
Lanci laughed earnestly.
"Oh!"
Christina understood then.
Her family actually had a Seventh-order butler!
Seventh-order was not a matter of price; they were fundamentally unattainable.
It was known that all of Poseen Kingdom currently had only three Eighth-orders.
Apart from them, a Seventh-order was an invincible existence.
Normally, no powerhouse would enter combat mode in Pariel’s core urban area, since it would trigger the city’s defensive barrier’s full suppression, hence, the usefulness of force in such places would be greatly minimized.
However, Christina, who often followed the news, had a premonition that the South Continent was heading for a change.
Although in Floral City Pariel at the northern part of the kingdom there was nothing to feel alarmed about, the southern borders of Poseen were said to be in a panic, with numerous notices being issued continuously.
Embassies from various countries were also notifying their citizens to return home as soon as possible in the near future.
"Miss, did you take advantage of the school holiday to return from the Arolan Kingdom to the Poseen Kingdom partly because you simply wanted to be here, and partly because you had some concerns? I suggest that if you observe the situation turning sour, you could also apply for a year’s leave of absence and stay in Pariel."
