Game Invasion: A new term for each level

Chapter 90: They really do have something going on!

"Mistress Elinde? Where is she now?"

The current head of the Elias family is Augusta, and his partner is Eileen!

Estella took a couple of breaths: "She made a brief appearance at the banquet and then disappeared, but it doesn't matter. The matriarch has never had much say in the family."

Yang pondered that the mistress named Eileen must be related to the pattern in that secret room.

Does she have her own secrets too?

suddenly!

Yang Hui felt the dampness on his fingers.

When no one was looking, Estella actually put the base of her finger into her mouth.

She tried hard to look up at herself.

I rely on!

Yang Hui quickly pulled it out, and even picked up Estella's expensive dress to wipe it.

This woman is really a bit abnormal. It's the first time he's met someone like this, and he's at a loss for what to do.

Yang Hui didn't dare hit her, afraid that she would have a good time in public.

Yang Hui asked with some disdain, "Where is Phoebe?"

Estella gestured in a direction.

In a corner of the banquet hall sat a quiet lady with her hair up, her brows and eyes seemingly filled with an unyielding sorrow.

Yang Hui remembers that Theodore was accompanied by a female companion whose eyes were full of timidity.

I know you like her.

Estella lifted her toes, a first for her. Usually, Brad was hunched over, and no one would even look at him directly.

Now, when he straightened his back, he was actually half a head taller than Estella, who was wearing high heels.

"Once we seize the position of family head, we can have as many of these kinds of people as we want."

Estella's voice had a seductive quality; if Yang Hui were truly in that situation, he might very well...

Slightly, possibly, seemingly, really unable to control myself.

"How can you be so confident?"

Estella smiled: "My confidence has always come from you."

Yang Hui dared not look at her, and could only silently remind himself that this was a game instance and she was just a humanoid creature.

She took the initiative to come over and straighten Yang Hui's clothes, a gesture that was made public and surprised the surrounding guests.

Yang Hui circled around the crowd twice, shaking off the gazes that followed him.

But a crowd gathered around Estella.

A woman asked with a smile, "Estella! Why were you fixing that good-for-nothing's clothes just now? Don't you usually hate him the most?"

Estella smiled, but her eyes held a cold glint as she walked into the dark colonnade, and the people followed her.

"Since you're so good at talking, I'll cut off half your tongue!"

Before she could lift a finger, two quick-witted men had already captured the woman. Then another man arrived, grabbed a steak knife and fork, pinched her mouth, and began cutting her steak bit by bit.

The woman wept bitterly, but Estella merely raised her hand, and the French horns in the colonnade blew even louder, drowning out the woman's wails.

Finally, half of the tongue fell to the ground. Estella took the steak knife, gathered her skirt, bent down, picked up the tongue with a fork, and stuffed it back into the woman's mouth.

"I don't want to hear any more bad rumors about Brad."

Just as Estella was cutting her tongue.

Yang Hui was already sitting down next to Phoebe.

She looked down and noticed someone sitting next to her, which startled her.

Phoebe, thinking it was Theodore, whispered, "What did you do to Brad?"

Her tone was soft, as if it would dissipate with a breath, and she nervously twisted her fingers after asking the question.

"He's alright."

When Phoebe heard that it wasn't Theodore's voice, but someone else she knew, she looked up in surprise.

Upon seeing that it was indeed Yang Hui, he nervously looked around.

"You—you shouldn't sit over here. I'm Theodore's wife. It's not good for people to see."

Phoebe twisted her fingers, her face slightly flushed. As someone who had come to Elias Castle from the outside, Brad had a natural affinity for Phoebe, especially since they both had a kind nature, commonly known as a weak character.

Estella used to always mock him, and Theodore always hit Phoebe.

So two people of different backgrounds but with the same fate kept running into each other and licking each other's wounds.

These were all deduced by Yang Hui based on Estella's information and his own speculation.

"It's alright, don't worry about it anymore."

Because he is already dead.

Yang Hui didn't say the second half of the sentence.

Phoebe didn't understand the hidden meaning in his words and could only take it as a consolation.

Yang Hui cut to the chase and pulled out the note: "Did you write this for me?"

Phoebe's eyes were somewhat complicated, but she still nodded: "I told you so you could run, but luckily Lord Leo knocked over the golden basin."

Then, as if remembering something, she asked, "Weren't you in the dungeon with Lord Theodore? What are you doing here?"

How did you know I'd be next?

Just as Phoebe was about to say something, she saw someone coming and quickly straightened her posture, putting distance between herself and Yang Hui.

A maid approached and whispered, "Count Augusta wants you to come over."

Even the maids in the house don't have to use honorifics when speaking to him.

This shows how easy Brad was to manipulate in the past.

Yang Hui could only go over and lower his head to listen to him speak.

At present, it is not advisable to have a conflict with the head of the household.

Could it be that killing Theodore exposed their scheme?

Augusta ran her hand along the eagle-headed cane. "Where's Theodore?"

Yang Hui made up a lie: "I went down first, but I didn't see him for a long time, so I came back to look for him."

Augusta's first thought wasn't to doubt Brad's words, but rather to consider something else.

In his mind, Brad was afraid of him and wouldn't dare to lie.

He bent down and said to Leo, "Go to my study and bring me my things, the ones I showed you the other day."

Leo nodded and ran away quickly.

Augusta looked at Yang Hui, tapping her cane on the ground, and frowned. "Is there anything else?"

Yang Hui could only bow and retreat.

I gave Phoebe a look as I passed by.

Phoebe hesitated for a long time in her seat, but finally followed Yang Hui and hid in the dark corridor.

When Yang Hui turned his head, he was surprised to find that Fei Bi had a somewhat resistant and shy expression on her face, her face was flushed, and she was lifting up her skirt.

"We can't do that now. There's a banquet going on outside. It's not good for us to act like this. What if someone finds out—"

Phoebe's voice trembled as she slowly moved her hand upwards.

Behind her was a brightly lit banquet, and she blushed as she lifted her skirt in the shadows.

A standard drama unfolded before my eyes.

The male lead is actually me?!

Yang Hui's mind went blank for a moment.

Estella and Theodore don't seem to have wronged Brad.

These two are really having an affair!

She doesn't think I was going to do *that* to her in public, does she?

Is this really that exciting? And judging from Phoebe's business practices, she's probably done this quite a few times before.

No wonder Theodore killed someone; if his head hadn't been crushed, he would have risen from his coffin.

Yang Hui shook his head: "Another day."

There's a pattern here that I don't know if you've seen before.

He gestured in the air.

"Okay—I think I vaguely remember—" Phoebe hesitated.

Yang Hui was about to say that Eileen had a book in her hand.

Phoebe seemed to remember something and said, "Madam Elinde has a book she showed me! The cover looks like this."

"Do you know what this means?"

Phoebe shook her head blankly: "I don't remember anything else. It seems like it requires the blood of some animal to trigger it, and it's stored in a sealed jar."

Yang Hui suddenly remembered something.

A sealed jar?

There was a bunch of jars next to that pattern at the time.

Yang Hui quickly turned around; he wanted to know what effect the pattern would have once it was triggered.

Seeing Yang Hui's posture, Phoebe tugged at his sleeve and said, "Can I go too? Don't leave me alone at the banquet, I'm a little scared."

Her eyes were brimming with tears, and she lowered her head, looking somewhat aggrieved.

Seeing this, Yang Hui felt no pity whatsoever, because he noticed something else.

Then he smirked, as if whispering a devil, "Fine, you come along too."
