"Don't worry, I'll break whichever hand he used to hit you."
Gray took out a handkerchief and handed it to Barbara. His eyes were gloomy.
Although Barbara was the one who had been hit, there was no doubt that he was the one who had provoked her. After all, Barbara was his personal maid and his personal belonging.
A manservant actually had the guts to provoke him. This must have been instigated by the second brother of this body, Elise.
"Although Elise usually gives me the cold shoulder, she knows her limits very well. She obviously doesn't dare to provoke me too much. But now she actually dares to order her servant to humiliate me. There must be a reason."
Gray pondered in his heart.
"Now it seems that he was the one who had been spying on me from the hut."
Elise must have dared to do this because she knew that there was something wrong with his body. She was confident that she could take him down in front of Viscount Fergus. Evidently, she had nothing to fear.
"But I must get the blood wolf blood back!"
Now, he only needed to consume one more portion of blood to regain the strength of a low-level Blood Warrior. Therefore, he had to get this blood back.
"But even if I were to fight now, I probably wouldn't be Elise's match."
Elise's talent for training was a bit trashy. It took her two and a half years to cultivate the power of blood and raise her strength to that of a low-level Blood Warrior.
Her aptitude was the worst among the three children of Viscount Fergus and Madame De Milan. But after all, she was already a low-level Blood Warrior and was definitely stronger than him now.
"How should I get it back?"
After pondering for a moment, Gray already had an idea. At this time, Barbara had stopped crying. He looked at her apologetically. After all, she had been hit entirely because of him.
"Follow me!"
He led Barbara downstairs and walked out of the main building of the castle, not directly to Elise's bedroom. They walked towards an exquisite house that was slightly lower than the castle.
After entering the house and reporting their identities, Gray and Babla were led by a servant to the living room opposite the door. There were wooden tables, chairs, and coffee tables in the living room, and some oil paintings on the walls. Although the decorations were not as luxurious as the main building of the castle, it was still considered exquisite.
Not long after, a man with a black mustache walked over.
The man's face was thin, and he wore an earthy yellow robe and a pair of yellow leather boots. He wasn't very tall, only a little over 1.7 meters.
"Young Master Gray, why are you here?"
When he saw Gray, his face was full of smiles as he sat in the chair opposite Gray.
His name was Lynd Nyassen, and he had the strength of an upper-level Blood Warrior. He was the commander of the castle guards and also a lord.
When Viscount Fergus was not in the castle, he commanded all the guards in the castle to protect the safety of the castle.
He wasn't too familiar with Gray. After all, Gray had only been in the castle for three months.
However, he had an extremely strong interest in befriending this illegitimate son of Viscount Fergus. On one hand, it was because of the talent that Viscount Fergus had displayed. On the other hand, it was because he knew some inside information. He knew that Viscount Fergus had brought Gray into the castle to nurture him.
"Greetings, Lord Lynd. To tell you the truth, I'm here to ask for help!"
Because the blood of the blood wolf had already fallen into Elise's hands and could be consumed at any time, there was no time to talk to him. Therefore, Gray chose the simplest and most crude way to get straight to the point.
After possessing this body, he had met Lynd a few times in the past month in the castle. He could clearly feel Lynd's enthusiasm towards him.
Therefore, after knowing that the blood of the blood wolf had been taken by Elise, he didn't immediately look for Elise. Instead, he looked for Lynd.
"Young Master Gray, I don't know what you need. As long as I can do it, I will definitely not refuse."
Hearing Gray's straightforward words, Lynd's eyes lit up. He had been looking for an opportunity to curry favor with Gray, and now the opportunity had come.
"Lord Lynd, you should know that today is the day when the castle distributes the blood of the blood wolf. However, before my share was in my hands, it was snatched away by my second brother."
Gray said with a face full of anger.
There was no need to pretend. He was really angry now. A mere servant dared to provoke him. If he let this matter go, who knows how he would be bullied in the castle in the future.
"To snatch … … Young Master Gray's share. Young Master Elise has gone too far this time."
Lynd hesitated for a moment before speaking up for the injustice. However, in his heart, he was muttering.
He originally wanted to use Gray's request to curry favor with Gray. However, he didn't expect that Gray's first request would make things difficult for him. After all, this matter involved the other son of the viscount.
Both sides were the viscount's sons. No matter which side he helped, he would inevitably offend the other side. Therefore, he hesitated.
Lynd's hesitation was naturally detected by Gray, who didn't have the soul of a sixteen-year-old boy living in his body. He continued to speak angrily.
"Although my father will definitely be able to compensate for the blood taken from me today when he comes back, I really can't take this lying down. Lord Linde, you have to help me get the blood back."
Lynd's expression didn't change, but in his heart, he was calculating the gains and losses of this matter.
On the one hand, he would gain the gratitude of Young Master Gray and establish an extraordinarily close relationship with him. After all, he had offended Young Master Elise because of Young Master Gray.
On the other hand, the losses were obvious. If he acted, he was afraid that he would thoroughly offend Young Master Elise. Even Madame De Milan wouldn't be too fond of him.
The gains and losses quickly flashed through his mind, and he quickly came to a decision.
"Let's do it!"
Because of that insider information, he was extremely optimistic about Gray. This was also why he treated Gray more warmly than the two sons of the viscount and his wife, even though Gray was clearly an illegitimate son.
Moreover, it was best to make friends while the other party was still young. If he waited until the other party had his own power, then it would be difficult to make friends with them.
Therefore, like him, many small nobles liked to take up an official position in a large noble family. On one hand, the benefits were good, and on the other hand, they wanted to build a good relationship with the next generation of the noble family while they were still young.
As a Lord, he naturally had the ambition to become a Baron. According to the insider information, if he could really hold onto Young Master Gray's thigh, he would definitely become a Baron in the future. Although it wasn't certain, the possibility was definitely very high.
"Young Master Elise has indeed gone overboard this time. Young Master Gray, don't worry, I will help you take back your portion of the blood."
Lynd said with "awe-inspiring righteousness".
"That's great, Lord Lynd. Thank you so much!"
Gray showed a timely expression of "gratitude", which was ignored by Lin Rui.
Key Cong Qinghu School?
Nag Qinghu.
As long as he could settle today's matter, he would definitely leave an extremely good impression in this lord's heart. After all, he had helped him when he had no power or influence. How could adding flowers to a brocade compare to providing charcoal in snowy weather?
On the second floor of the castle, in Elise's bedroom facing the south, Elise looked at the two cups of blood on the tray. Smelling the scent of blood, she couldn't help but reveal a trace of intoxication.
Two cups of blood. Once she consumed all of them, her strength would probably increase by a large margin. Unfortunately, such an opportunity was rare, and there probably wouldn't be a next time.
Beside her, the freckled servant glanced at the two cups of blood on the table, then looked at Elise, and said hesitantly.
"Young Master Elise, won't this cause the viscount to be displeased?
What if he complains to the viscount when he returns … "
"Hmph, if there were no problems with his body, I wouldn't dare. As for now, he'll soon be beaten back to his original state. I'm taking his portion so that he won't waste it."
Elise said disdainfully.
Thud, thud, thud!
At this moment, there was a knock on the door.
"Go open the door."
"Yes."
Upon receiving the order, the freckled servant Neeson walked to the bedroom door and opened it. A man with a mustache entered his sight. Of course, he knew this person.
"Lord Linde, you're looking for Young Master Elise —"
Halfway through his sentence, he couldn't help but pause because he saw Gray and Babla, who were slightly behind Linde.
Thud!
At this moment, Gray took a step forward and kicked the freckled servant Neeson back into the bedroom, while he darted into the bedroom.
"Ouch, ouch …"
After being kicked in the abdomen by Gray, the freckled servant cried out in pain and couldn't get up for a long time.
Such a huge commotion naturally alarmed Elise. She turned around and saw Gray rushing into the bedroom, while his valet was bent over on the ground.
"Glenn, how dare you come to my bedroom to make trouble."
He immediately said angrily.
"You're the bold one, Second Brother. You even dared to snatch the blood of the blood fiends that Father distributed to me. Do you still have any respect for Father?"
Gray didn't budge an inch. He was in the right in this matter. Even if this matter was reported to the Viscount, he wasn't afraid at all.
"Hmph, you have a sharp tongue. Let me, your older brother, teach you a lesson."
Knowing that she was in the wrong, Elise didn't waste any more words. Her five fingers formed a claw, and with a whoosh, she quickly pounced and locked her five fingers on Gray's throat.
Although he saw Linde, who came in with Gray, he didn't pay attention to him. With his identity as the Viscount's son, he believed that Linde wouldn't dare to get involved in his fight with Gray.
Swish —
The wolf's favorite method was to bite the throat of its prey and deliver a fatal blow. After practicing the blood technique "Wind Wolf" and practicing the combat style of the wind wolf countless times, Elise couldn't help but like this combat style.
