�Thank you. I will never forget this favor.�

�Remember, abandoning a friend is equivalent to abandoning another you. Don�t you dare half-ass this.�

�Yes!�

With a stern nod, Rian ran to the manion with a sword strapped on his waist.

There was nostalgia in Kite�s eyes.

�My part is over!

Although the time to say goodbye was short, he was happy he was able to leave his mark.

�May the future of my student be filled with good fortune.�

The atmosphere inside the mansion was cold.

All work stopped momentarily, and the male servants and maids kept their mouths shut.

Louis, the head butler, wiped his glasses behind the sofa where the immediate family members were sitting.

Next to him, Temuran, the deputy butler, was staring at Shirone, his stress plain for all to see.

He was kneeling under all the gazes of hostility and contempt.

He felt like he was standing in the middle of a Colosseum.

�Report, head butler.�

�Yes, my Lord. Shirone, a servant hired by Temuran, is accused of damaging the prestige of the Ogent family during his year-and-half-long stay here. The workers have witnessed the youngest young master and Shirone mingling, and I also heard Shirone talking to him carelessly.� Attached are the testimonies of the workers in regards to the case. Temuran wrote for them.�

As Bischoff silently raised his hand back, Louis passed the document into his hand.

Flap! Flap! While the papers were turning, Reina sneakily went up to Shirone.

�Shirone, don�t worry too much. I�ll try and convince my dad. Nothing�s going to happen.�

Contrary to expectations, Shirone looked so calm that it gave Reina chills.

Not a speck of anxiety was seen in his eyes.

�He was not pretending to be calm! He really is looking at the situation calmly!�

Shirone was not afraid.

This was because the future was just full of possible outcomes. Nothing had been decided yet.

After looking through the file, Bischoff spoke.

With a cold impression along with his pitch-black hair, he had the power to petrify with his words alone.

�Shirone Arian, is what is written in this file true?�

�Dad, Shirone and Rian��

�Reina, I did not ask you. I�ll give you a chance to speak. Stay quiet for now.�

Reina knew this was not gonna be easy. JrNovels.com
