Chapter 78: The Butler’s Thoughts

Upon returning to Canlight City and bidding farewell to Jason, Elena, and the others, William returned to his mansion with Angela.

“Master!”

Bend, who was busy with the horses in the courtyard, immediately spotted William approaching and quickly came forward to bow.

Inside the house, hurried footsteps were heard as the maid Rosie hastily opened the door, standing aside to welcome the master of the mansion back.

Angela lay on William’s head, her eyes wide open, curiously taking in everything around her.

Since entering Canlight City, Angela felt overwhelmed by what she saw.

How could there be so many humans? Underground, there were only ugly skeletons and walking corpses.

The houses built by the roadside were so beautiful, much better than the dark and gloomy mansion she used to live in!

Were those humans selling food for humans? It looked like they were enjoying the food.

During the two days on the road, William had asked Angela if she needed anything to eat, initially thinking of getting some blood from elsewhere.

However, Angela wasn’t particularly interested in blood. She could consume it but didn’t feel the need to, as she could obtain the necessary blood essence from the Duke-level vampire heart.

Instead, Angela was very interested in what William ate. She nibbled on the fruits and cakes that William had stored in his storage ring.

She could move freely under the sun and didn’t crave blood.

This made William very curious about Angela. Was she still considered a vampire?

Acknowledging the servants who greeted him, William, with Angela on his head, walked into the living room.

“Prepare dinner for me, three servings!”

William instructed Rosie, and the young maid promptly complied, sneakily stealing a glance at the small white creature on William’s head before hurrying off to the kitchen.

Was this a pet that Master William brought back from outside? It’s so cute.

“William, William!”

Angela scratched William’s head and asked, “What did that person just put in front? Why was it so big?”

Very big? Was she talking about Rosie?

William’s expression was somewhat strange as he replied, “That’s their special method, extremely effective against males.”

“So powerful?”

Angela’s eyes sparkled.

“Can I have one?”

“There might be a chance.”

That was all William could say. Although he felt that Angela had been around for so long without getting one, it probably wouldn’t happen anytime soon.

Angela had been pondering over this matter, but when she saw Rosie bringing out the prepared dinner, she hurriedly flew onto the table and plunged into the fruit cake, nibbling away.

William shook his head and sat down, enjoying his own dinner.

There were no stops for rest on the way back, so they hastily ate some dry rations. William also wanted to eat something warm.

At this moment, the butler, Joyce, approached with several letters. It seemed they had accumulated over the past two days when William was away.

Joyce noticed the small white bat devouring the cake on the table and paused for a moment.

A Golden-tier vampire eating cake? It looks quite strange, but its power is not bad.

What’s going on? Did young William bring this back?

Joyce turned his gaze to William, and his pupils suddenly contracted.

This… Silver-tier?

Although William intentionally concealed his aura, there was no masking effect against the perception of legendary-level experts.

This clearly showed signs of a recent life sublimation, a significant step forward on the path to transcendence.

An eighteen-year-old Silver-tier mage could be considered excellent.

But in Joyce’s eyes, he was just average. After all, a Golden-tier mage under his command would only last as long as a dagger.

But an eighteen-year-old Silver-tier Arcanist, now that was something else.

William had a complete opportunity to reach the legendary realm in the next few decades, entering the domain where Joyce resided!

Yet Joyce distinctly remembered that just a few days ago, William had only just broken through to High Bronze-tier, still quite a distance from Silver-tier.

In just a few short days, his strength had increased rapidly, even completing a tier breakthrough directly!

It seemed that William had secrets!

Joyce’s face showed a rare hint of a smile, with no intention of probing.

Having secrets was good! Which strong individual didn’t have their own secrets and encounters?

Even if he was a genius, without encountering Lord Kane, without receiving the gifts and help of the Kane family, Joyce dared not say he could definitely achieve legendary status.

William’s breakthrough to Silver-tier was something Joyce was very pleased about, extremely pleased.

He didn’t want to hand over the true heritage of the Kane family to anyone else, even if the Lord had ordered it, even if that girl was truly a peerless genius.

But what did it matter if she was a genius?

After all, William carried the true bloodline of the Kane family.

Before, Joyce had been worrying about whether or not to follow the Lord’s wishes, but now, things were different. There was no need to worry anymore!

William wasn’t much worse than that girl.

Joyce thought about a lot of things in an instant, then turned his gaze towards Angela.

It was dangerous for this vampire to stay by William’s side. It would be better if…

Angela suddenly felt a sense of imminent danger and quickly pulled her head out of the cake, looking around frantically.

What’s going on?? Such a terrifying feeling!

William didn’t notice Angela’s abnormality. Seeing Joyce approaching, he said, “Joyce, this is my friend I brought back, Angela.”

“She saved my life, so if she has any requests, try to fulfill them. Also, please inform the other servants.”

Although the housekeeper and servants in the house were ordinary people, they were aware of the existence of transcendent beings. At most, they would be surprised to see a talking bat.

“I understand. This must be Miss Angela, then.”

Joyce nodded in acknowledgment. So, there shouldn’t be any problem with this little bat. It seemed that it didn’t threaten William with violence.

Let’s observe a little more. No rush.

The feeling of cold threat disappeared for Angela, and she scratched her head. Was it just her imagination?

She looked up at the elegantly mannered old butler and nodded friendly towards him as William said he would find him for meals in the future.

This old man is okay. I’ll have your back in the future!

Joyce didn’t know what Angela was thinking, only feeling that the little white bat was a bit strange.

It even resembled those freaks from the south!

William took the letters from Joyce and checked them.

Sure enough, most of them were invitations formatted for noble gatherings.

William wasn’t interested. Since deciding to consolidate his knowledge of magical theory from scratch, he had been short on time.

He spent every day reading the massive tome of magic, although the knowledge was in his mind, the process of reading was a time-consuming review and organization of his own knowledge.

William also had to practice and operate from time to time, fortunately, it was only the basic understanding of magical elements and mastering basic magic patterns for now, otherwise, it would take a lot of effort just to validate his ideas.

There was also a summary of intelligence sent by Mora. William flipped through it and found nothing new.

Only that the prices of food and weapon commodities had increased, indicating that the actions of the Second Prince were becoming more significant.

Heh, it’s better to have bigger actions. I was worried I wouldn’t catch your tail!
