Chapter 188 - Seeking Aid

Blink. Blink. 

The gang stared at each other momentarily, seeing the confusion in their eyes. 

Even Donghai felt it hard to believe.

Is Butler Feng talking about the Tian couple still in a coma? 

Grandmaster, Grandmaster... Maybe it's an old hermit ancestor in the Tian family that he was aware of. But even at that, how could such a person be greater than their Gia household? 

Inwardly, Donghai didn't believe it. Especially when staring at Dorian face to face. 

Tch! 

His lips twitched, secretly looking at Butler Feng as though asking if his brain had a screw loose.

That's right.

It was also 10 A.M.

And he and his gang were now standing within the grand Tian hall.

Butler Feng gave a deep bow with one hand over his chest. "Grandmaster. Please, pardon my intrusion in visiting without warning."

"Hmmm... I take no offense," Dorian replied, sitting at the high table like a monarch. "It's because it's urgent that you've come, no?"

"Yes! Yes, Grandmaster." Butler Feng replied humbly. 

"_"

Erm... Were their eyes truly seeing what they were seeing?

.

Butler Feng's actions had no doubt made Donghai give Dorian several looks, especially after seeing Butler Feng tell them to bow as well.

No matter how one looked at it, it seemed strange for someone like Butler Feng to turn into a cat before this teenager. 

Everyone scrutinized the lazy, looking younger seated before them with doubt. However, his following words only made their hearts fall to their stomachs. 

"It's coming for you all... It appears that you've all been marked."

Boom!

Marked? What's coming for them?

Donghai and the rest couldn't control themselves anymore, anxiously rushing to Dorian's side.

"You-~~... So you know what it is? Can you help us? When were we all marked?"

Everyone's eyes focused on the boy with strong intent, feeling their breathing grow heavier and heavier. 

The mere thought of that creature's image made the hairs on their back stand erect. 

1, 2, 3... Something's coming for them. 

~Tring~~

Butler Sheng's trolley gave them a jump scare. 

"Please, sit down." Dorian gestured towards the many available couches beside him. 

"Ye-yes~..."

Like obedient children, one obediently took other seats, watching Butler Sheng give them cups of tea accompanied by saucers. 

Butler Feng decided to stand due to habit. As a butler, it was too weird to sit when the masters of the home were around. Donghai was still a Gia master. 

So Feng only decided to silently stand by behind the couch. 

At tge same time, he was also looking at Butler Sheng's butler skills. 

... Impressive. 

He was swift, efficient and elegant when working.

The duo met each other's eyes and nodded in understanding as though pleased with one another. 

Those who saw this were dumbfounded. 

Could this be the legendary butler bond?

.

~Clang. Clang. Clang.~

Leah couldn't stop her hands from trembling after picking up the teacup. 

Dorian's eerie words began shaking her. 

Marked. Marked... What did he mean by saying they were marked?

The air was pregnant with burdening silence. 

Tye silver was too heavy, with countless thoughts racing through everyone's minds. 

However, the culprit who sent them into this frenzied state calmly took a sip of tea, feeling very refreshed. 

Dorian had listened to all they said without interrupting or rushing them. 

They spoke throughout his tea-sipping time. 

And the moment his empty cup touched his saucer, his entire aura turned serious. 

What???!

Everyone was taken aback by the sudden change. 

"Drink it all!"

Shiver. Shiver. Shiver. 

The gang of well-trained police officers now felt every fiber of their being cowering before the youngster. 

How can someone become another person in a blink of an eye?

Too strong! This was the strongest aura they had ever felt!

Doubt? I'm sorry. They had little to no more doubts. Such a powerful person was definitely not easy.

But why was he adamant about them drinking this tea?

.

Donghai stared at this now half-cup of tea that miraculously stayed hot even after they had spoken for so long. What's in this tea?

It looked ordinary yet mysterious.

You look at me, I look at you. 

You look at me, we all look at Butler Feng, whose eyes were saying: 'Drink It!'

Alright... Bottoms up. 

~Gulp. Gulp. Gulp. Gulp.

Everyone took big gulps, intending to finish it all at once. 

And when they were done, something miraculous happened. 

"Ahhh~"

Leah threw her cup away in horror. But then, it suddenly suspended mid-air right before their very eyes. 

It's floating! It's floating!

Did he do it?

Everyone was too shocked for words, not even realizing why Leah had panicked and thrown her cup away. 

However, Dorian's words were quick to remind them of the abnormality. 

"Don't throw the cups!"

Swish! 

He sent Leah's cup back to her at a flick of his wrist. 

At the same time, everyone stared into their cups, now understanding why Leah was so freaked out.

Leader, as police officers, is it shameful to say that we're scared!

(:Y×Y:)

.

~Swish. Swish. Swish!

Several remains of ground tea leaves moved vigorously about, creating several images for them to see. 

Butler Feng was also very surprised, secretly taking note of the matter. Butler Sheng was no less surprised than him. 

That is, who knew that the Grandmaster could even do this?

Like so, the black remains flew about crazily within the cup.

And soon, everyone's pupils dilated at an alarming rate.

Their hands trembled and almost gave way, if not for Dorian's instructions earlier on.

In the end, what Butler Sheng and Butler Feng saw looked like simple clumps at the bottom of the cup. 

However, the same couldn't be said for Donghai and the rest.

What they saw was incredibly detailed.

It was an image that made them send their teacups flying to the furthest ends of the room. 

Whooo~ Whooo~

Their breathing grew heavier, with the sunken fat on their cheeks trembling vigorously.

And now with trembling hands tightly holding onto the cups, they looked like they had aged 10 years older. 

.

-Silence-

Dorian squinted his eyes deeply.

"Tell me, what do you see?"
