Chapter 35: Giving You an Explanation

Old Xie went in and took a look. The courtyard was decent, about 200 square meters. There was also a three-story small building, decorated quite luxuriously. The only unpleasant thing was that there were no servants, making it look empty.

There was a flower stand on the side of the courtyard, cast in bronze, looking quite sturdy. Old Xie went directly over, reached out, and tore off the valuable flowers on the stand, throwing them randomly on the ground. Then he hung the dead dog in his hand on it. It happened that the collar on the dog’s neck was also finely crafted, inlaid with gold and silver, enough to support its own weight.

“Chris Chen, do you know how to skin it?” Old Xie turned his face and asked.

“Yes, but, Young Master, do you really want to eat it~” The poor old steward didn’t know what to say. In the education he received, a Noble should act like a Noble. What kind of Noble eats dog meat? On this Continent, dog meat was trash food eaten only by the lowest of poor people.

But Old Xie obviously did not care about this. He directly dropped a sentence: “Then why are you standing there? Skin it quickly.” After saying that, he walked toward the building. He wanted to see if there were suitable cooking utensils and seasonings in the kitchen.

After entering the small building, Old Xie successfully found the kitchen. He discovered that although the kitchenware inside was somewhat different from what he knew, it was generally very similar, such as the big pot, bowls, and spoons. Subsequently, Old Xie began to check the seasonings step by step. There were common salt, sugar, vinegar, and some unknown plant seasonings. They looked like the alien world’s equivalent of Sichuan pepper, star anise, green onions, garlic, and such things.

Since Old Xie had not seen them before and did not know exactly how to use them, he had to slowly explore to see if he could find suitable ones.

However, just when Old Xie was getting dizzy from being busy, a noise suddenly came from outside, followed by a scream from the old steward Chris Chen. Old Xie was immediately angry, thinking, which blind bastard dared to come here and cause trouble? He grabbed a rolling pin and went out.

In the courtyard, many people had appeared out of nowhere. The leader was a wretched old man, and the others were obviously guards of the mansion. At this time, the old steward had already been knocked to the ground. A tall and strong Warrior was kicking him constantly, cursing while kicking, “I told you, you old bastard, to kill Madam’s dog. Don’t you know that dog is more noble than you?”

That fellow was kicking with relish, but unexpectedly, a loud buzzing noise suddenly came from mid-air. That fellow was a Level 3 Warrior after all, so he naturally recognized the sound of a heavy object flying through the air. Scared, he quickly mustered his Battle Qi to resist while trying to dodge. But the thing came too fast. He had no time to react before it smashed heavily onto his head.

With the hardness of the rolling pin and Old Xie’s Behemoth strength, this combination was like a cannonball. People saw that fellow’s head was smashed into a rotten watermelon in an instant. Brains and blood splattered all over the people behind, scaring them into shivering.

Subsequently, several guards drew their weapons, but when the old man saw that the person who smashed the killer was Old Xie, he hurriedly shouted, “Put away all weapons. That is the Young Master.” Hearing this, the others quickly sheathed their weapons, but they still looked at Old Xie with caution. At the same time, they were wondering in their hearts. Although this Young Master had Barbarian blood, he was clearly a Mage, right? When did he have such terrible strength? He could actually smash a head with one blow. Isn’t that a bit too perverted?

“You still know that I am the Young Master?” Old Xie ignored this and cursed while walking over, pointing at the old man’s nose angrily, “Where did you come from, you bastard? How dare you run wild on my turf? Are you tired of living?”

Old Xie’s fierce tone directly scared the fellow. However, he then thought of the rumor that the Young Master had lost his memory, so he quickly understood and hurriedly said, “Young Master, I am the Second Steward of the mansion, Christie Miller. You can call me Miller! I came this time to know why Madam’s beloved dog was innocently killed. Please give us an explanation, Young Master.”

“This is the explanation!” Old Xie didn’t talk nonsense. He went directly over and delivered a loud slap. With a slap sound, the old fellow fell to the ground on the spot.

Everyone was stunned by Old Xie’s dominance. The old fellow, as the Second Steward of the Duke’s Mansion, was actually a confidant brought by the Madam from the Imperial Palace. His power in the mansion was no less than the Chief Steward. Even the Duke could not be too excessive to him. But now, he was actually beaten on the spot, and beaten quite hard. With one mouth, he spat out several big teeth. This time, not only were the guards stupid, but even Second Steward Miller was beaten senseless.

He climbed up tremblingly from the ground, his face full of grievance and tears, as if he were a little girl who had been bullied. Old Xie originally wanted to find trouble, so he didn’t even look at him directly, just sneered and mocked. He thought the old fellow would not be able to hold back and let the people behind him attack, so that he could have a big fight.

Unexpectedly, the old fellow seemed to have thought of something and finally held back. He fiercely wiped the blood from his mouth, then glared viciously at Old Xie, turned around, and left without saying a word. Seeing this, the others naturally did not dare to speak much either. They went over to collect their companion’s body and then followed him out.

This depressed Old Xie, who wanted to find trouble. Seeing that he couldn’t fight, he shouted at their retreating backs, “Listen, you damn bastards. From now on, you are not allowed to enter my turf. Enter the left leg, I’ll chop the left leg. Enter the right leg, I’ll chop the right leg. If both legs enter, I’ll chop your heads!” Those people obviously heard Old Xie’s threat and ran even faster.

Still unsatisfied, Old Xie turned around and checked the old steward Chris Chen’s injuries. Finding that there was no major problem, he asked with relief, “Those bastards looked quite fierce just now. Why did they all become cowards one by one? Made me look for an excuse to fight but couldn’t find one. So depressed!”

“Hehe!” Chris Chen couldn’t help but smile bitterly, “Young Master, you are the master, and they are servants. How could they dare to fight you?”

“But looking at their attitude just now, where did they see me as a master?” Old Xie said disdainfully, “Breaking in and daring to beat my people, doesn’t that show that they are the masters?”

“They just dare to be arrogant in momentum. In the past, you were, um, relatively, oh, kind, so they were unscrupulous and dared to disrespect you. But to say they would hit you, they didn’t have the guts! You know, once the guards beat you under Madam’s order. After the Duke came back, he executed more than a dozen people who dared to hit you in a rage. Even Madam’s pleading was useless.” Chris Chen explained.

Obviously, Chris Chen used ‘kind’ to describe it to save Old Xie’s face. In fact, Old Xie’s predecessor, Little Stephen, was simply a weak guy. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have been bullied by these servants.

“Hmph, boring and useless protection policy!” Old Xie disdainfully muttered.

“What?” Chris Chen didn’t hear clearly and hurriedly asked.

Old Xie certainly couldn’t tell him the truth, so he quickly changed the subject, “I said you continue to skin it. I’ll go prepare the materials!”

“No need. I’ll do it in a while. How can a Young Master do such work?” Chris Chen hurriedly said, “You just go and rest!”

“Cut the crap. Am I the Young Master or are you the Young Master?” Old Xie said impatiently.

“You are!” Chris Chen hurriedly said.

“Since I am, you listen to me. Don’t worry about anything else. Go to work!” After saying that, Old Xie walked away.
