“Albert? Didn’t you leave with Count Toby? Why are you still here?” Lucius recognized the figure on the ground at a glance. It was one of Toby’s followers, who was also a viscount like him.

“Do you know him?” Mu En asked coldly.

Sensing a hint of danger, Lucius hurriedly explained, “Your Grace, I don’t know this guy at all. I really don’t know him. All I know is that he is Count Toby’s follower.”

“Toby?” Mu En’s eyes were ice-cold. This was the second time he had heard that name.

“Yes. Yes, your Grace. It’s Toby. He’s the one who provoked me. It’s all his fault…” How could Lucius not know what had happened.

Albert must have been watching from the side, but Mu En found out about it and caught him personally. However, the more he thought about it, the more shocked Lucius grew.

When did Mu En leave the carriage? He had never left the carriage, and Albert was also a viscount like him. In addition, he had always been by Toby’s side, so he was stronger than him.

In the end, in just a few minutes, he was thrown to the ground like a slaughtered bird. Such was the power Mu En had.

“No wonder he could sneak up behind me. Even in this situation, I didn’t notice it. No, if he wanted to, I wouldn’t even know how I’d have died.” The more Lucius thought about it, the more scared he became. He really had a lot of guts back then.

“No, it’s all that bastard Toby’s fault. Damn it, he actually caused the management to deal with such a terrifying guy. Fortunately, the management was smart enough to turn over to the light in time, or else… HMPH!”

Lucius gloated as he looked at the man on the ground. He silently mourned for the man in his heart. One had to know that even though Mu En was handsome and looked harmless, the feeling he felt when he attacked him…

When he thought about it now, his entire body still trembled. If it was said that he did not dare resist because of the nobles, then it was because he was afraid of their extremely cruel torture methods, but now, with regards to Mu En… Lucius’ fear and deep respect came from the bottom of his heart.

Albert was originally with Count Toby, but the truth was that they did not leave. Instead, they remained while Mu En made his way back.

Of course, if Lucius, that idiot, could help him deal with Mu En, that would be the best. If not, then he would have to spend some money himself.

But who knew that his group had been waiting there for a few days without seeing Mu En and Lucius? Also, Toby couldn’t wait here forever, so he sent Albert back to check on the situation.

But what Albert didn’t expect was that not only did Lucius not attack Mu En, but he even personally drove the carriage for him. It seemed extremely humble, but what surprised him the most was Mu En himself.

Among the blood breeds, Mu En was only a poor noble who had the identity of a Duke but had no strength to back it up. However, the other party not only easily discovered him hiding a hundred meters away, but also easily defeated him.

Albert did not know what the other party did, but he felt that the blood in his body had almost stopped flowing, and he could not use any of his strength.

However, that person did not even look at him at that moment. He did not put him in his eyes at all. “Speak! Why did your master send you here? What is your master’s plan?”

“Duke Mu En Giovanni, I don’t understand what you mean. I just happened to pass by, and then you attacked me without any reason.”

Hearing this, Lucius looked at the poor guy on the ground with pity. After spending the past few days with him and combining his own personal experience, he felt that it was better for him to tell the truth.

One must know that the patience of the Duke whom he served was very poor. When he asked you a question, you had better tell him everything and answer whatever he asked you. Don’t think that you could get away with not answering, and don’t even think about threatening him, or else…

“Duke Mu En Giovanni, you don’t seem to be acting in accordance with the rules!”

Lucius shook his head helplessly. This guy was completely hopeless.

Albert was a little puzzled why Lucius was looking at him as if he was a fool. Moreover, there was a hint of pity in his eyes.

“If Count Toby finds out about this…” Albert still brought up his master, although he did not know why the other party had suddenly become so strong.

However, he definitely could not compete with Count Toby. One had to know that even in the entire thirteen clans, Count Toby’s reputation was unparalleled. Amongst the younger generation of the blood clan, there were only a handful who could be compared to him.

“Sigh! I gave you a chance!”

What? Albert was stunned when he heard that. However, he did not know when Mu En had already arrived in front of him. A hand was placed on his face. Immediately after, an incomparably cold and strange energy wantonly surged into the depths of his spirit.

It was as if ten thousand silver needles had been forcefully inserted into his mind and were frantically running around. However, at this moment, Albert realized that he could not even speak.

Looking at Albert’s face which was contorted with pain, Lucius could only sigh in his heart. ‘If I ask you a question, you should answer it properly. You’re talking nonsense and even dare to threaten me. You’re simply tired of living.’

“You… you can’t… kill… me. This is… against the law of the blood breeds.” Albert’s eyes were about to pop out of their sockets. “Count Toby… won’t let you go. Neither will the nobles.”
