The feminine-looking young man looked at the beautiful maid in his arms and suddenly smiled. His right hand flashed like a series of afterimages, and he grabbed the maid's neck.
At the next moment, endless pain flashed on the maid's face. She aged and shriveled up at a speed that could be seen by the naked eye, and her hair kept on turning white.
Her eyes were filled with terror. She wanted to struggle, but she was unable to unleash any strength.
However, the feminine-looking young man revealed an extremely comfortable expression. Two streams of red appeared on his cheeks, and he trembled slightly, letting out a series of moans.
The old butler lowered his head respectfully, as if he was used to this scene. It was only a short moment later when the beautiful maid turned into a dried up corpse and dropped to the ground with a thud that the old man started to clean up the corpse.
The feminine-looking young man broke into a satisfied smile. However, a short moment later, he opened his eyes and revealed a displeased expression.
'This Great Western City is really troublesome. I have to be careful just to look for two people. If I were at the headquarters, I wouldn't have to go through so much trouble.'
The old butler said respectfully, "This Great Western City is just an undeveloped land that has been occupied by a group of heretics. They naturally don't understand divine might and divine grace."
"Hmph, heretics? However, these heretics produce a large number of talents every year. Their population has always been their advantage, "the feminine-looking young man said. "This Fang Xingjian has been praised by a few old men in the Great Western City to be the number one genius that only appears once every few centuries. I wonder how good he is."
The old butler smiled and said, "Of course, he can't be compared to Young Master. Young Master is extremely knowledgeable and has been progressing valiantly in black magic. That Fang Xingjian probably won't be able to match up to you."
"Your boot-licking skills are too lousy." The feminine-looking young man laughed out loud and said, "But since Fang Xingjian was able to defeat Gudrun, it means that he does have some capabilities. However, he didn't have the fortune to study the grand path of black magic. Instead, he took the path of a Knight. His nature is inferior to us, and it's useless no matter how great his talent is."
"Young Master is right. Although Fang Xingjian's talent is still alright, his luck isn't that great."
The feminine-looking young man shook his head. "But numbers are also an advantage. If it wasn't because there are too many experts in the Great Western City, I would have barged into the academy to snatch them away. There would be no need to go through so much trouble. Now we have to think of a way to lure him out. Do you have any ideas? "
"Eh, how could this old man have any ideas? We still have to rely on Young Master's intelligence and wisdom."
"Hehe, you old fool." The feminine-looking young man's lips twitched as he said, "It's just the same old thing. Check if there's anyone in the Great Western City who is close to Fang Xingjian."
"Understood."
"Governor Devitt and the other two old fellows are also very troublesome. Send people to gather more information. It's best if you can take action when they are not around."
…
A few days later, in a restaurant in the Great Western City.
At this time, the restaurant was very lively. There was even a long queue at the entrance. Obviously, business was very good.
This was the restaurant that Diana had opened with the support of Fang Xingjian. Other than the grilled meat that Diana originally had, she also sold many of the special dishes that she had developed during this period of time. After being opened for over a month, the restaurant had attracted countless customers. There were even Conferred Knights who came because of its reputation.
Right now, the kitchen was very busy. Diana was like a tyrant, commanding everyone to do their own work.
"Mike, hurry up. Where's the seafood soup? Are you thinking of waiting for the customers for dinner? "
"Jason, why is the asparagus so hard?" Diana spat the asparagus in her mouth into the trash bin. "Didn't you cook it before frying it? Can you imagine how the customers would look like when they cut this plate of asparagus? "
Taking another dish, Diana said directly, "Why are there so many different colors in the fried eggs? I won't be bringing this out. My god, Mike, it's just a plate of fried eggs. How hard can it be? "Take it back and redo it."
Diana clapped her hands and bellowed, "Everyone, work hard! If you continue making mistakes like this, our restaurant will close down tomorrow."
Everyone bellowed, "Yes, Head Chef!"
Although the entire kitchen was in a hurry under Diana's command, it was also very orderly. The bellows, shouts, the clashing of kitchen utensils, the sound of the flames and the wind made it seem as if there was a war going on. However, under Diana's command, the standard of the dishes was maintained.
Diana, who was usually gentle and elegant, was no longer as gentle as before. She was like a queen who ruled over her own kingdom.
Just then, the head waiter walked in, came up to Diana, and said, "The customers at Table 12 are very satisfied with the dishes and would like to meet you."
Diana said impatiently, "I don't have time, Billy. Can't you see that I'm very busy?"
The head waiter smiled helplessly, "They seem to have connections with the municipal government. It's best that you meet them."
Diana let out a breath, took off her apron, and followed the head waiter out to the customers at Table 12.
A feminine-looking young man stood up with a face full of smiles. "Head Chef Diana, right? I really like the dishes you cook." He put out his hand, and although Diana frowned, she still shook it. "Thank you."
However, at the next moment, she felt the other party's finger gently brushing past her palm. She abruptly put out her hand and glared at the young man furiously.
"Do you have anything else?"
"Haha, didn't anyone say that your beauty is above your culinary skills?"
Diana frowned and said coldly, "If there's nothing else, I'll be returning to the kitchen to get busy."
The feminine-looking young man smiled. "It's nothing. I'm just here to recognize your face in case I get the wrong person in the future. Haha, sorry to disturb Miss Diana. "
A hint of doubt appeared on Diana's face. She threw a final glance at the feminine-looking young man and thought of the busy kitchen. He was amazing.
Looking at the puzzled Diana, the feminine-looking young man picked up a piece of roasted meat and said as he ate, "Do I lack a chef?"
"Young Master, you're thinking of bringing her back? That'll really be her good fortune. "
"Hehe, let's lure Fang Xingjian out first."
…
Elsewhere, at the entrance of the Knight School.
A lady dressed in black robes hid at the entrance of an alley, looking at the students who kept on coming out from the school.
Suddenly, her gaze narrowed as she looked toward the few students who had come out from the school. The girl in the lead was bouncing around, filled with youthful vigor. It was the female disciple Fang Xingjian had taken in before, Lilia.
The lady in black robes asked in a cold voice, "She's Lilia?" She then threw a glance toward the guy behind Lilia and asked, "Who's that guy?"
Next to her, a young Fatso who was in his teens nodded in fear. "She's Lilia, and the one behind her is Kite. I heard that he already has the abilities of a quasi-Knight and has been chasing after Lilia all this while."
The corners of the lady in black robes' lips curled up. "You guys are still learning how to date at such a young age? Hmph, what kind of background does this guy have? "
"He's a hereditary aristocrat. I heard that Kite's clan has produced a Conferred Knight in the past."
The lady in black robes nodded slightly and then headed deeper into the alley. A series of dazed expressions flashed on the young Fatso's face, as if he could no longer remember what he had said.
