Chapter 69 The Superiority Of A Nobleman

"Are you sure you don't want to accept the invitation from the Young Master?"

"I'm sorry, sir. I already told you that I don't want to accept it."

The bearded old butler asked Veronica in an arrogant tone. His head was slightly turned up like a fool, looking down on Veronica like he was looking at the dirt on the street.

Veronica, on the other hand, politely declined. A professional smile still remained on her pretty face. She also bent her head down slightly.

The attitude shown by Veronica was inversely proportional to the attitude had been shown by the old butler.

In response to Veronica's polite and professional demeanor, Old Butler instead brought his eyebrows together, making the wrinkles he already had on his forehead become very thick.

He automatically pointed at Veronica with his index finger, and then spoke in a loud voice.

"Do you dare to refuse an invitation from Young Master Yary? Don't you know who he is? He is the son of Marquis Stronghold, the noble who manages this territory. If you dare to refuse his invitation, you will definitely regret it. You must be prepared to accept the consequences."

The old butler insisted.

As Old Butler had said, there would be consequences if Veronica dared to refuse an invitation from a nobleman's son.

Her identity as a reception girl was not enough to protect her.

When hearing what the old butler said, everyone in this Adventurer's Association hall, including the Adventurers and the reception girls, immediately nodded up and down several times simultaneously.

They agreed with the old butler in unison.

In Burgenfield City, who didn't know about the Young Master Yary that Old Butler was referring to? Even the people in the entire kingdom must have known.

He was not known to everyone for his greatness, so everyone had to obey him out of respect, but he was famous for his vices.

I was sure everyone would be familiar with the name Young Master Yary.

But it seems to be different for Veronica. She doesn't seem to care at all. Instead, she twitched her eyebrows. But only one of her eyebrows twitched which I thought was very funny. But I know that she looked about to be annoyed.

And sure enough, Veronica's angry outburst came after she seemed to be trying her hardest to contain her anger.

"Hey, do you think I care about that? Get out of here! I've had enough of your patience. Don't interfere with my work, ok!"

Veronica's rude reply triggered a dangerous snarl from Old Butler.

Everyone had the same look in their eyes. They were incredulous that Veronica did not know who Young Master Yary was, whom the Old Butler was talking about.

"Is she new people in this city?"

"It seems so."

"No wonder she dared to refuse Young Master Yary's invitation. She doesn't know that the custom of Young Master Yary, the son of the Lord here, is to gather the beautiful people in this entire region. But if anyone refuses, then they will become corpses the next day."

"Uhhh. I remember some time ago. Where the corpse of a woman whose body looked really gruesome suddenly appeared in the middle of the street."

"Yes. I heard that the corpse looked like it died in great pain. People said that the dead woman had refused Young Master Yary's advances."

"That receptionist lady would definitely not dare to refuse if she knew all that."

I heard everyone's murmurs.

They were looking sorry for Veronica who had been targeted by Yary, the son of the region's lord.

Of course, I knew the root of the problem.

Marquis Stronghold.

He was the Lord of the Stronghold territory.

The center of the Stronghold territory was Burgenfield City.

Considering that the Marquis was the upper noble rank, the territory of the Marquis Stronghold was naturally very large. And to manage such a large territory, a large force was needed as well.

Unlike Baron Warwick who had mediocre physical strength and magic, Marquis Stronghold was a figure famous for his Magic prowess.

In other words, he was a genuine Magician.

He was trusted to be the Lord of the territory bordering the Varmint Association's territory, which was the territory where the Beastmen were, because of the power he possessed.

The problem was, people like Marquis Stronghold only have one child.

It was well known throughout Marquis Stronghold's fiefdom that the Lord, Marquis Reynold Stronghold, was very indulgent to his son.

Therefore, no one found it strange when people saw the Old Butler forcing Veronica to come to the Marquis Stronghold's son's residence.

They had already known the behavior of this region's Lord children.

Finally, the Old Butler lost his temper as well. He looked at the crowd of Adventurers. Then he ignited the flames of the commotion.

"Hey, all of you, capture this woman and drag her to Young Master Yary's residence. Whoever succeeds, they'll get a huge reward. I can guarantee that."

Hearing that, the adventurers looked left and right. They were exchanging glances. And finally, images of gold coins seemed to radiate out from their eyeballs.

The greed for the reward promised by the Old Butler managed to take over the rational thoughts from their brains.

"Buhihi. I'll get that reward."

The first person to surface from the ranks of the Adventurers was Fat Pig who I had a conflict earlier.

Behind him were still hordes of his men.

Even among the crowd, I could still recognize him. Especially his characteristic fatness and the fat that bubbled up all over his body.

I didn't expect that he would dare to come back here again and be the first to come forward.

It seemed that he was no longer afraid to cause trouble here.

Previously, he believed that this place had a mysterious figure that prevented trouble. But why did he immediately dare to come here and join the commotion?

At first glance, what he does will make you wonder how he has no shame.

However, when you looked at it from another angle, it was clear that the reason why he was so bold was because of Old Butler's presence. The same goes for the other Adventurers.

They all obviously wanted to get Old Butler's attention by being the first to catch Veronica.

The superiority of a nobleman.

It was demonstrated by the Old Butler of the Marquis Stronghold household perfectly.

The superiority of a noble has also become commonplace. So no one dared to argue.

The influence of a noble in the eyes of non-noble people was very high.

So, the foolish Adventurers must have thought that they were safe. Regardless of the extreme measures they would take.

Even if they were to commit violence at the Adventurer's Association headquarters, they seemed very confident that they would be protected.

They were to the extent of losing their sanity to the fact that they were adventurers.

They looked exactly like true sycophants in front of the old butler.

Seeing that Old Butler, I remembered Gil.

'When can Gil have the aura of a perfect butler like that.'

I became pessimistic about Gil's development as a servant.

And finally, all the Adventurers who were already crazy about the gift from the old butler started to really go crazy.

They swarmed Veronica like wild animals.

As soon as Fat Pig and his gang came forward, the other Adventurers also came forward.

When I was looking at the scene in front of my eyes, I felt as if I was looking at a running event.

Amidst the Adventurers' eagerness to attack Veronica, Veronica looked calm.

But I knew that she was holding back her anger with all her might.

I was not a fool, so I knew that Veronica's temper was on fire. Maybe I was the only one who knew.

Evidence of her anger was that the quill in Veronica's hand had become a white powder.

Perhaps, most people who saw Veronica standing still without moving were because Veronica was scared, but I knew that she was standing still because she was restraining herself from killing everyone.

Don't forget, she had a strong power.

I sensed Veronica's murderous intentions that she directed toward the Adventurers.

"Haah."

Lately, I've been sighing a lot.

'What should I do now?

My life motto in my previous life was always to be ignorant of all things that endangered my life. But I realized that I couldn't continue to maintain such an attitude.

I realized that right now, I had to do something. I was also still thinking about the strange feelings I had toward Veronica.

What's more, if I just let the drama flow. I think I'll see a river of blood here. And of course, the ending will be complicated.

Old Butler and the Adventurers did not realize that they would end up being slaughtered by Veronica. That was the obvious scenario. That's why they did something careless.

And as for the reason why an ordinary receptionist has such great strength, but wants to be an ordinary receptionist? On top of that, she's forced to wear sexy clothes?!

Questions like that were still lingering in my head, and questions like that I thought were enough to move my body.

Although I had lived in this world twice, I didn't know everything. Furthermore, the Memorize skill was also inactive. This indicates that there was no information related to Veronica in the novel Demon Lord and Hero of Light.

Thus, I made the decision to intervene.
