Chapter 56 - The Gia Residence

The limo pulled away... and Raulin, who had been driving, calmly glanced at Dorian through the rear mirror: " GrandMaster... Where to now?"

Dorian opened his eyes calmly before letting out a sly grin: "Home, then Gia Estate."

The reason he came out today was to look for a big fish.

That's right. for the land he wanted for the Academy, the 10 Million deposited into his account wouldn't be enough.

So he needed to find another big fish before the Land Auction tomorrow evening.

But with the sort of unnatural deadly aura he saw on that arrogant lady from earlier on, he knew that their matter was far more serious than Ghu Sota's issue.

So how can he let such a fat prey go?

Typically, he wouldn't even bother to help.

Yes. he wasn't a Saint.

As a heavenly exorcist, he would never see cases like this and just keep silent.

Meaning he would indeed give out advice to them.

But whether they listen or not was none of his business.

.

Additionally, he also chose to help because he wanted to exorcise more and rank up his Exorcist level fast.

So he didn't mind going out of his way to save these Gia people.

The system who didn't understand why Dorian chose to help out was very pleased about his decision.

It mumbled to itself in joy.

Hahahahhaha! It knew its host was a good person deep down. Look! Didn't he go out of his way to save these people?

As a worker for the heavens, doing good, being heroic, selfless and saving countless souls was the way it should be!

The system was very pleased with its host's decision.

(^∆^)

Gia estate?

Everyone suddenly recalled that arrogant lady from earlier on and immediately understood.

Butler Sheng crossed his arms over his chest with a serious expression on his face.

Alright.

It looks like tonight, they will have to get busy again!

With that, the limo speeded up back to the Tian estate.

~Vrrrmmmmmm!

The vehicle speeded up, and they were off!

Meanwhile, within the Gia estate, unbeknownst to many, today was indeed their death day.

.

-Gia Residence-

~Thup. Thup. Thup. Thup~

The heavy footsteps of many echoed across the massive central kitchen as the staff quickly began distributing food to all corners of the grand estate.

They sent food towards all estate buildings and regions, serving the numerous guards, live-in maids, butlers and others around.

As for the main Gia family, their food was now being hauled on trolleys by an elite staff diligently trained and trusted.

Their food had already been poison-tested by Five testers and two dogs, before it could even be deemed edible.

Yes.

If there were any chemical substances or poisons in there, the testers also had their ways of knowing too.

The Gia family was a military Family, with elite officials all in the army that were idolized within the country.

To mess with the Gia family is akin to seeking Death!

Of course, they also had branches and businesses around too.

But, without them knowing it, someone... or something, was coming after them!

Fifteen minutes more until dinner time.

.

~Drrrrrrh!!!

The trolleys were all pushed towards the grand main table, and the butlers and maids quickly worked fast in laying out the food, water and drinks too.

Each person's meal was different depending on their tastes and preferences.

And just 3 minutes before dinner time, the lead butler blew his military whistle, and everyone quickly took off as if they were within the military.

They always served food very close to mealtime so that the food would remain hot for longer.

Of course, they also sealed and covered the food too.

Head butler Feng looked at his pocket watch while looking at the stairway calmly.

In a minute or so, the family should descend!

The Butler and a few others standing around the dining table in wait calmly looked above the stairs when they heard the faint sounds of footsteps descending the beautifully crafted stony, marble-like staircase.

It was all so grand and picture-worthy, lined with golden rails.

Today was a very special day within the Main Gia household.

.

The Old Marshall, who retired a while back, had finally returned from his 5-month vacation abroad.

So his oldest son, who took care of the family business, and lived full time in the main estate, had of course prepared for his grand welcome.

As for the Marshall's other children, they had their own estates and were mainly within the army all the time, either being soldiers, marines or Navy officials.

Of course, his other sons were out in the army, but their wives and children had to come over to welcome the Old Marshall.

Thus, they had long arrived during the day and were all upstairs in upper guest rooms.

The Main Gia estate had over 15 buildings in it, with numerous statues, lawns, gardens and other amenities all around.

That said, there were indeed separate guest buildings.

But those were used for non-family guests.

Typically, within the main building that was as wide as a commercial building, there were over 3 grand guest rooms on the 2nd floor, 8 first rooms on the 3rd floor and 12 guest rooms on the 4th and highest floor.

Thus when the family arrived earlier, they were all shown to their rooms on the 3rd or 4th floor instead.

The Old Marshall had no daughters... Just sons, which made him a little sad.

So when he finally got a granddaughter, he treated her like his world.

Who didn't know that the old Marshall's only granddaughter was the apple of his eyes?

All his other grandchildren were boys, except the little baby that miraculously graced their family some years back.

For her, he could even give all his wealth to.

Luckily, the Old Marshall's children were all wealthy, having their own separate resources and things going on for them.

They were all very independent and hardly used anything from the Old Marshall.

If not, maybe they would've been greedy and jealous of the little granddaughter ages ago.

.

The staff kept their heads bowed while listening to the several footsteps that echoed out louder and louder as the family descended.

The head Butler in turn walked closer to the family and gave a very low, but noble bow with one hand on his chest.

"My lords, madams, young masters and little miss, dinner is served!"

"Hmmm.."

Old Gia nodded with his usual cold gaze before turning his attention back to his little granddaughter at his side.

His expression changed so much from cold to worry that one would even doubt that if he had a sit personality or something.

"Little Didi... Are you feeling uncomfortable anywhere? Do you need grandfather to carry you?" 

The little girl who now had the undivided attention of everyone was called Gia Xididi

After listening to old Gia, she only looked at her grandfather and gave a mysterious but chilling smile at him.

For almost everyone in the house, the little miss had turned into a gloomy person altogether, who hardly spoke and would only smile crookedly from time to time, making them all feel uneasy.

But the family wasn't too phased at all.

They were a family of warriors and people who had been in the army and had been brought up to accept all challenges in life.

They got a psychiatrist, who found that the little girl was just passing through some unknown trauma.

But the problem was that they didn't know what she saw that could dramatize her so much.

Yes! What exactly caused it? 

Everyone's expressions were cold when thinking that the only princess of the Gia family had experienced trauma.

Even the little girl's cousins who had been long taught to protect the little princess, we're also very concerned about it all too.

Since they arrived, she hadn't played with them or even greeted them surely the way she typically did.

And though they might be young, with their family training, they instantly knew that something was wrong.

For them, someone had clearly bullied their Gia princess into the way she was!

.

As for the adults, their thoughts were somewhat on that line but more deeply rooted than the youngsters.

What exactly caused the trauma?

Did the little girl get molested? The guards said they searched the entire scene, but who knew if the culprit had long escaped before they got there?

Or could it be that the little girl saw something she wasn't and cocooned herself into her shell?

Was she threatened with a knife on her throat or a gun?

Their minds were all stunning with theories which made them all distressed for the princess even more.

But what worried them the most was that the little princess began smiling and chuckling at herself all alone at times, making them fear that her mental state was collapsing.

Will their little princess be bullied and laughed at? Maybe she will. But their strength was enough to cover her for a lifetime and hopefully get her treated.

That said, the culprits that did this shouldn't even think of escaping!

Hehehhehe!

Mess with the Gia family? How Bold!
