Chapter 105: Chapter 105: Maid: Call Xiao Ye! (Please follow)

Dying in the line of duty to protect the Hong family’s descendants, the Hong family has top-ranking supremes.

Bringing up old memories, Liu Huo’s mood grew heavy; he drowned himself in drink after drink, trying to drown his sorrows in alcohol.

His weathered eyes reddened, laughing crazily as if he had lost his mind:

"Being a guardian for the household of a top-ranking supreme is a great honor, selected from thousands of the Great Venerables, we made it!"

"It was me who insisted on being the Hong family’s guardian, after finally succeeding in the selection process, how could I give up!"

"But I’d never imagined that on our first mission, we’d encounter a Beast Tide."

"It was I who caused her mother’s death..."

Xiao Ye fell silent.

Is there anything wrong with applying to be a guardian for the household of a top-ranking supreme? Objectively, no.

Is there anything wrong with performing protection duties? Also no.

But fate is cruel, and reality is a bitch; after finding a decent job with good benefits, I ended up sacrificing my wife’s life.

Liu Huo instructed the ace maid to bring out the treasure of the tavern.

He kept pouring drinks for himself non-stop, with the overflowing liquor drenching him in the scent of alcohol.

In fact, there are details he left untold.

Back then, right before the Beast Tide happened, an official notice was issued by Modu Base, prohibiting anyone to leave the city.

But Hong Tao, the eldest son of the Hong family’s descendants, relying on his top-ranking supreme father and the family’s influence, ignored the warnings of the Modu Base patrol soldiers and insisted on leaving the city to hunt Demon Beasts in the Demon Beast Forest.

Unable to stop him as his guards, they had no choice but to follow suit.

It could be said that Hong Tao’s capriciousness led to the tragedy.

Liu Huo questioned himself, does he hate Hong Tao?

Hate, of course, he hates!

But hatred is useless; the other party leans on a top-ranking supreme, with influence that can rank among the forefront in the entire Dragon Country.

He doesn’t even dare tell his daughter Liu Ya the specific details of her mother’s sacrifice.

Why? He’s afraid that Liu Ya, blinded by hatred, would seek out the Hong family for an explanation, seek revenge, even confront the supreme family.

Then, the sacrifice may not be limited to Liu Ya’s mother; his entire family could suffer a devastating blow.

Xiao Ye doesn’t know the specifics, nor is he aware that the tragedy was caused by Hong Tao’s whim to leave the Modu Base.

However, the phrase "descendants of the Hong family" made Xiao Ye frown.

It seems like a gold medal coach from the Hong Family Martial Arts Hall named Hong Tao once visited Liu Ya’s home.

He even offered Liu Ya two Creation Rule Fragment Crystals to be his companion.

Then he encouraged prodigies from the Titan Academy to visit the ’Master’s Wife’ at Kunpeng Academy, using this to press Liu Ya to agree.

Putting it all together, the impression Hong Tao left on Xiao Ye:

Is that of a very confident and arrogant fellow.

The Hong Family Martial Arts Hall, having a top-ranking supreme, it’s no surprise that the fellow could propose giving two Creation Crystals as a condition.

Before long, Liu Huo had drunk himself into a stupor, dizzy and disoriented.

"My son-in-law, make sure you never mention to Liu Ya that you’ve met me, and especially not that I took you to the private club for goodwill; it’s better for both of us."

"Of course, the last thing Liu Ya needs to hear about is flirting around, why would I bring up the foot washing incident to her?" Xiao Ye responded.

"Uh." Liu Huo burped, pointing at the glass, "Don’t mention coming here to drink either."

Meanwhile.

At the [Maid Tavern], a middle-aged man with a scarred-faced tattoo led a group of young-looking male students inside.

"Ha ha ha!" Hong Tao laughed heartily, "Coach is good to you, right? Said I’d bring you to the Maid Tavern for drinks, and here we are."

"Receptionist, open the presidential suite; call out all your ace maids."

All the prodigies from Kunpeng Academy followed the lead of the young man with the scar-faced tattoo, their eyes gleaming with excitement, they flattered:

"The coach’s word is as heavy as nine tripods, and his decree is irrevocable."

"Hey, the coach is the best teacher in the world!"

"Yeah, just based on that, the coach should be the number one teacher in Modu, not that prettiest teaching assistant."

A few minutes later, inside the grand presidential suite.

Hong Tao sat at the top, with each chosen prodigy of the heavens flanked by an ace maid.

These prodigies had come alone, not bringing any female Contractors.

Scar-faced tattooed youth, also known as the Son of the Supreme Titan from Titan Academy, Yang Junming, approached Hong Tao and laughed:

"Brother Tao, I didn’t handle things well last time; I’ll cover the expenses for the tavern this time."

The top-tier Son of the Supreme, Hong Tao, slapped his shoulder, declaring loudly, "No worries!"

"The thing that Liu Ya, that bitch, needs, only I can provide. Sooner or later, she will come begging to me."

The Son of the Supreme Titan, Yang Junming, who was casually sitting close by, chimed in, "Of course, Brother Tao never fails to get the woman he has his eyes on."

Both are Children of the Supreme, but Yang Junming is clearly in a subordinate position.

Their fathers are also Supremes, but a high-ranking Supreme and a top-tier Supreme are not on the same level; the difference in their combat power is vast.

Even in terms of family influence, the Supreme Titan could not compare with the Hong Family.

Neither of them was yet aware of Liu Ya’s recent remarriage, and Hong Tao still harbored delusions of certainty regarding Liu Ya.

Suddenly, one of the maids volunteered and said, "My lord, I seem to know some news about Liu Ya. I overheard it from some guests who came to drink last night."

Hong Tao, surprised, said, "What news, tell me."

"If this news can cheer me up, I’ll give you ten times the tip."

The maid who was serving drinks brightened up and hurriedly said, "Last night’s guests must have been Liu Ya’s disciples. I heard it while serving them."

"Liu Ya has just remarried a man referred to as Mr. Xiao."

"It’s said that the two of them have formally signed a Contract and become a pair of Contractors."

Remarried? Signed a Contract?

Hong Tao’s expression darkened upon hearing that, and frowning, he said, "Is this news true?"

The maid assured, "Absolutely true, so many customers said the same thing last night."

"Bang!"

Hong Tao slammed down his wine glass and cursed furiously, "Damn, the woman I have my sights on was actually snatched up by someone else first, Mr. Xiao?"

"Where did that piece of trash come from!"

"Call your manager over here."

Half a minute later, the bald-headed lobby manager scurried over, asking, "Mr. Hong, what do you need?"

"Call over the maids who served Liu Ya’s disciples last night. I have questions to ask!" Hong Tao said with a stern face.

Liu Ya’s disciples?

The bald lobby manager was full of question marks. Who’s Liu Ya’s disciple, and what happened to Liu Ya’s disciple?

The maid next to him quickly came up to explain, and the lobby manager, now enlightened, hurriedly had the maid from last night call over the top maids to be questioned.

Ten minutes later, over twenty top maids were forcefully pulled from their posts to the presidential suite, standing in rows before Hong Tao.

The lobby manager rebuked, "Mr. Hong is the Young Master of the Hong Family Martial Arts Hall. Answer whatever he asks!"

Then, Hong Tao asked his questions.

More than twenty top maids answered honestly.

After getting the answers he wanted, Hong Tao’s corner of the mouth twitched with fury as he exclaimed:

"Dammit, Liu Ya, that bitch, actually got married. Last time I went to see her, she was acting all pure, but in the end, she’s just a whore who immediately ran to a man."

"But who exactly is this Mr. Xiao?"

Suddenly, someone in the row of maids raised their hand and said, "I heard yesterday, he seems to be called Little Junior Brother, his name is Xiao Ye!"

Hong Tao’s gaze intensified.
