Chapter 421 This is a challenge

Although Dachun wrote the script in a hurry, I always felt that there were some flaws.
I remember now! Before the housekeeper went to bed, he left the door of the ward open and hung a sign outside the door. This means he went to bed prepared, and it didn't seem like he was suddenly poisoned. And -

Holy shit! The biggest flaw is that he didn't destroy the letter! That's not right, wouldn't destroying it make it even more suspicious? None of this is right. What if they need to read the letter? Who can read it? What if they need to test the letter for poison? The poison theory doesn't hold water!
Dachun's scalp tingled, but he couldn't find a new script for a moment: "Sir..."

"Stop making noise, they're coming outside!"

So fast? !

Okay, calm down. If the butler hadn't been notified, how would he have handled it on his own? Perhaps I was overthinking it. With his loyalty and Remya's trust in him, there was no need to deal with it...

……

Remia attached great importance to the butler's condition. As soon as she left the Sea Temple, she took Sariel directly to the hospital entrance.

Then, led respectfully by a group of guards and medical staff with charming smiles on their faces, they arrived at the housekeeper's ward. A sign reading "Sleeping Do Not Disturb" was hung outside the door. This sign prohibited even medical staff on rounds changing dressings from entering.

But to Sariel now, it seems highly suspicious.

Remya waved her hand to persuade the guards and medical staff to leave, then opened the door with a serious expression, but it turned out to be locked!

Sariel's brows jumped, this was even more suspicious!
A magical light flashed in Remya's hand, and the lock behind the door was released with a click, and the door opened.

The housekeeper was sleeping soundly on the hospital bed. Perhaps sensing the presence of an outsider, he suddenly opened his eyes, surprised and delighted, but his voice was weak: "Miss!"

Remya said with concern: "Mr. Saffirio, I'm sorry, I've been busy these two days and haven't come to see you! You——"

Surprised, Remya put her hand on the butler's forehead: "What are you doing——"

The housekeeper smiled: "I... am fine!"

Sariel couldn't tolerate Remya's enthusiasm for a suspected traitor and spoke directly: "Mr. Butler, with all due respect, could you please take a look at the letter you received from Plan this afternoon? After investigating Plan, I suspect it's related to pirates!"

The butler snorted and handed over the crumpled letter.

Sariel unfolded it and took a look. "Dear Mr. Saffirio, thank you for your bravery in that battle. I came back to see you out of concern for your injuries, but your mental injuries are much more serious and may affect your return. I suggest you rest immediately, and then we can discuss in detail."

The chat room erupted in an uproar: "It really is collusion!"

Sariel immediately handed the letter to Remia and looked at the butler with a gloomy expression, but the butler remained calm.

This? How can you, a traitor, be so calm!
Sariel hurriedly looked at Remya's face, but Remya had an indescribable look on her face, and there was no anger at all from discovering a traitor!
Sariel couldn't help but ask: "Mr. Butler, please explain, who is the other party?"

The butler snorted coldly: "You can understand it as an old friend."

Sariel pressed on: "Are they pirates?"

"maybe."

Sariel was angry: "What's your name?"

“I don’t know either!”

Sariel continued to be angry: "Then why did you lock the ward?"

The butler said calmly, "Mr. Sage has seen it too. I'm resting now and don't want to be disturbed by the medical staff."

Sariel said angrily: "And then have a detailed discussion with the other party?"

The butler said in a deep voice: "Yes!"

Sariel was furious: "Miss Remya, he admitted it, he is a traitor!" Remya sighed: "Mr. Sage, can't you see that this is a challenge to a duel for revenge?"

Sariel was stunned: "A challenge? Who's challenging me?"

Remya sighed, "Mr. Saffirio, I will not allow you to accept the enemy's challenge while you are injured. I will stay here with you tonight!"

The housekeeper was anxious: "Miss, no!"

Remya said in a deep voice: "Then you should rest well and recover quickly, otherwise I will accompany you every day!"

Sariel was stunned for a moment, then finally came to his senses: "Is this the assassin who attacked the mansion and injured the butler that day?"

The butler shook his head and sighed: "Actually, I can't confirm it, but I will face it."

Remya frowned. "I've already told you to rest and not face it. Also, Mr. Sage, is there anything else you want to ask?"

Sariel felt so ashamed: "I'm sorry, I fell for the enemy's provocation. I should have explained myself earlier, sir."

The housekeeper shook his head and smiled: "If it were you, sir, would you make an excuse?"

Sariel was stunned for a moment. It seemed that this was indeed the case. As a noble, he was proud. To defend himself was to be afraid. His fighting spirit would be weakened. He would have lost before the duel even started! This pirate was indeed cunning!

In order not to affect Remya's favorability, Sariel apologized again: "It's because I care too much about you, my heart is too confused. I once again express my sincere apologies to you, sir."

The butler smiled tiredly: "Apology accepted..."

Then he closed his eyes and fell asleep with a smile on his face.

At this moment, everyone in the chat room finally breathed a sigh of relief: "We've always said that the mansion's butler is the most loyal. How could he possibly collude with pirates? Sariel, you're simply..."

Sariel was anxious: "When did you say that?"

Raphael smiled and said, "So, this Avenger, the assassin who attacked Chenghua's residence, is this old man in black robes?"

Sariel gnashed his teeth and said, "This bastard caused me to lose favorability with Chenghua. I must find him!"

Michael said, "Let's search together. Someone at this level who can injure the steward is a threat to all cities."

Everyone: "Got it."

……

Dachun was in a state of anxiety, every second felt like a year.

The last blood dragon fell, and we got the last dream essence, so we can combine all 6 of them!
——System prompt: Congratulations! You have successfully synthesized the Horcrux "Dragon Soul Fear"!
Dragon Soul Fear: Hallowed-grade gem, Horcrux, Spirit +6. Special Skills: Fear Aura, Dragon Soul Transformation. Significantly improved for Nightmares and Dream Angels.

Ah! It really is a spare Horcrux!
But Dachun was worried and couldn't be happy!
Just then, the mermaid's laughter was heard: "Your script is too ridiculous and useless. I saw a good play!"

what? !

Dachun asked hurriedly: "Sir, please tell me!"

The mermaid was excited: "Is that so..."

Holy shit! !
Dachun was stunned. Indeed, the butler's response was the most normal. The more he tried to defend himself, the more suspicious it became! It would be far better for him to not even bother to argue and let Sariel figure it out on his own!
The point is, my letter was well written, it could be considered a challenge letter full of sarcasm. Remia's intelligence is simply amazing... I feel like her IQ is way higher than mine!
The biggest concern was whether Prang would be considered a wanted criminal. But he was just a messenger, so what evidence could he use to warrant a warrant?
