Chapter 74: Return

Ghislaine breathed a sigh of relief after watching the other party leave.

The black-robed man in front of her was undoubtedly the strongest enemy she had encountered, without exception.

It wasn't that the other party's swordsmanship was so superb, but purely that the other party's terrifying magic power brought great pressure to Ghislaine.

The tense muscles gradually relaxed, and Ghislaine turned her gaze to Eris, who was staring at the back of the black-clothed man as he left, and said in a deep voice, "Eris, let's go home."

Ghislaine turned her gaze to the middle-aged butler who had been frightened silly, and a sneer appeared on the corner of her mouth. She grabbed the other party and said in a cold voice, "If you dare to run, you'll die."

That was indeed the case. Running away in front of the Sword King was undoubtedly an extremely stupid thing.

On the way, Eris told Ghislaine everything from beginning to end. Both of them were not smart people, and although there were many doubts in the incident, neither of them noticed anything wrong.

Only Rudeus was silent all the way.

He knew more than the two of them, so he subconsciously thought more.

He thought he knew everything about his older brother, whom he had been with for many years.

But now that he saw him like this, he felt strange again. Was that guy still his older brother? He didn't seem to have seen through him from the beginning.

So, with a heavy heart, Rudeus returned to the Greyrat family.

Although it was the middle of the night, the living room was full of people.

Roa, who was yawning, was standing next to Philip, who had a gloomy expression.

When Philip saw the unharmed Eris, he also breathed a sigh of relief. Before Philip could react, a thudding sound of kneeling rang out.

The head butler kowtowed in fear and trepidation, "It was all my fault, it was all my fault…"

Philip just glanced at the other party indifferently, waved his hand, and a very strong man came up from behind. Philip pointed to the butler who was crawling on the ground and said coldly, "Take him out and take care of him."

The strong man dragged the other party out, like carrying a dead dog.

The butler begged for mercy loudly, and Philip coldly glanced at the strong man. The strong man nodded and kicked the butler hard in the stomach, and the force was so great that the other party curled up and couldn't say a word.

Everyone in the living room was expressionless. Roa sat on the chair indifferently, looking around, and found that Rudeus was always looking at him from time to time, and Roa raised an eyebrow. When he looked back, the other party would quickly take his eyes away.

Although Roa didn't think he could hide it from everyone, he didn't expect that Rudeus would find out so quickly.

But it didn't matter, he knew it, so be it.

Looking at Roa's still indifferent expression, Rudeus increasingly guessed that the other party was the black-clothed man.

Philip was silent for a while, and said to Ghislaine in a grateful tone, "Thank you, Sword King Ghislaine, you have helped us a lot. If it weren't for your appearance, my daughter might have been in danger."

Philip emphasized the words Sword King.

Ghislaine was still indifferent, and just nodded lightly before stopping speaking.

Philip also knew Ghislaine's personality, and turned his gaze to Rudeus, and Philip showed a bright smile.

He smiled and said, "Well then, thank you too, Rudeus. Although you are Paul's son, you are unexpectedly reliable. Well, the reason for this incident is also an internal family problem, but this time you may have to suffer a little. The only one who can solve this matter is Ghislaine."

Rudeus thought for a moment and knew what was going on. Was this what they called political negotiation?

After a while, the strong man walked back to the living room again. He knelt on one knee and told everything he had learned from the butler.

Roughly speaking, the culprit behind the kidnapping was the butler Thomas. And he was related to those perverted nobles mentioned by those hooligans.

The perverted noble had taken a fancy to the young lady a long time ago, and it was said that he wanted to play with that competitive and arrogant beast to his heart's content.

And Thomas was blinded by money, and let the two hooligans prepared by the perverted noble join this operation.

So, this farce happened.

Philip's expression became more and more gloomy. He still had a smile on his face, but he said lightly, "No one can bring their ideas to our Greyrat family without paying a price."

After saying a few words to the old butler next to him, he signaled the other party to leave.

Today's matter could be said to be a big deal, and almost everyone knew the news that the young lady had been kidnapped.

Philip didn't have the desire to suppress the news. On the contrary, he even intended to let the news spread wider.

After discussing the matter, the rising sun had already risen, and the morning light shone on this land. Philip told everyone to go back to rest, after all, they hadn't slept all night.

Just as Roa walked into the room and was about to close the door, Rudeus poked his head out and blocked the door with the doorframe. He looked at Roa with a mysterious expression, leaned forward and said, "Big brother, tell me honestly, was that person you?"

Roa showed a strange expression, and looked at Rudeus with a puzzled expression. Roa said lightly, "What are you talking about?"

A clear voice came from Roa's mouth. Although it was no longer so neutral and indistinguishable between male and female, it was obviously too different from that vicissitudes and steady voice.

In fact, this was also the reason why Rudeus didn't dare to really confirm Roa's identity.

After all, there were still differences between the two. First of all, the height, the other party was at least a head taller than Roa, and that vicissitudes of voice was not something that this loli older brother could make.

Rudeus continued to ask unwillingly, "Really not you? That black-robed man."

Rudeus's eyes continued to stare at Roa's face, seemingly wanting to see a flaw in the other party's expression. At this time, Roa appropriately showed a hint of surprise, and Roa once again answered his foolish younger brother's question: "Are you talking about the black-robed man who saved you? How could you associate me with him?"

Rudeus looked at Roa with a strange expression, seemingly wanting to see a flaw in the other party's expression, and then, he was directly kicked out by Roa.

"You guy, don't bother me, who was the one who confidently guaranteed me that there would be absolutely no problems?"

Roa glared at Rudeus and kicked the other party out, closing the door.

Rudeus sat down on the ground with a thud, and he fell into deep thought again.
