Chapter 27 Shadow

"Sir..." In the luxurious bedroom, the housekeeper Cassie stopped talking.

"What else can I do?" Utred, the current patriarch of the Kafein family, frowned slightly and looked at the housekeeper standing in front of him respectfully.

The housekeeper Cassie hesitated slightly, and finally gritted his teeth and said, "I think the master's behavior today is a little too casual. If the master is really optimistic about Zhang Biao, he should observe it for a while."

"What decision should I make? Do I have to get your consent first?" Utred's voice was indifferent and could not hear joy or anger, but in the ears of the housekeeper Cassie, it was undoubtedly as loud as thunder. There was panic on his face. He bowed and dared not lift it. He panicked, "I, I don't mean that, I just..."

"All right, all right." Utreed waved his hand and interrupted the housekeeper's explanation. He stood up, patted the housekeeper on the shoulder, and said lightly, "I know you are for the good of the whole family, but I hope you can understand that whatever I have made a decision, as long as you execute and maintain it faithfully. I don't want my most valued housekeeper and my life. It makes you hesitate to shirk.

"Yes, sir, I won't do it next time." Casey has been the old housekeeper of the Kafein family for many years. He is familiar with Utred's possessive style. If everything hadn't been too unexpected tonight, the old housekeeper Casey would not have said something wrong at this time.

"I'm tired. Go down and see what else you need from the young master. By the way, have Zhang Kui's men settled down?"

"It's settled down, sir." Casey replied respectfully. Seeing that Utreid rubbed his eyebrows with his hands tiredly and bowed, he retreated out.

"It seems to make it difficult for you this time." After the housekeeper Cassie went out, an indifferent and ethereal voice suddenly sounded in the room.

"When you make a seemingly stupid decision, there will always be loyal subordinates who will jump out. If my housekeeper doesn't care about it, I will be worried instead. Utrede's face was no longer the anger he had just now. He smiled and turned his head to look at the figure behind him who seemed to be completely integrated with everything around him: "Although it's not the first time I've seen you, I'm still very curious. I didn't find your existence just now. How did you do it?"

"Is there anything that the Lion King of the Kafeiin family, who is always confident, can't do anything?"

"At least I don't know what you look like. I really doubt if the old man of the Grand Duke hasn't seen your true face." Utrede shrugged his shoulders and did not say anything about the doubts of the person in front of him. He looked at the eyes hidden behind the black veil with great interest, as if he wanted to understand the real thoughts of the person opposite through these always cold and indifferent eyes.

"Pay attention to your words. The Grand Duke deserves the respect that everyone deserves."

Utred looked at the cold eyes of the other party and said with a faint smile, "I call him an old man. Even if I let the Grand Duke know, I don't think he will mind. That's why he will let me help test Zhang Biao, and you can't understand why the Grand Duke let me know this matter at all, although you and that The old man spends more time on him, but I know him better than you do.

"Maybe. However, if the Grand Duke knows that you want to attract Zhang Biao without authorization, maybe he will regret letting you participate in it.

Utrede curled his lips indifferently: "I don't regret doing this. There is no reason why a guy who is concerned by the dark parliament can't become the future hope of the Kafein family. It's a pity that he refused my **. This little guy not only has a big belly, but also his ambition is far greater than I thought. But... I won't give up. Maybe in a few days, he will change his mind after he understands what the Kafein family means.

Utreed said, but his eyes were always staring at the eyes behind the black veil. Unfortunately, no matter what he said, his eyes were always indifferent and cold, without any fluctuation.

"Anyway, the Dark Parliament will still remember your help this time."

Those eyes were always cold and indifferent, and the confident Utreed frowned reluctantly: "What if I really let him change his mind?"

"That means that he can't stand **. He is not a qualified heir in the first place. Even if we become the elder of your Kafein family, we will not lose anything. That's it for today. I will report everything here today to the Grand Duke. Goodbye.

"Oh, wait!" Utreid wanted to say something more, but the shadow in front of him suddenly integrated into the surrounding environment. He stretched out his hand, and the blurred shadow gradually faded, and he only caught a handful of passing air.

"How can it disappear so easily in front of my eyes every time?" Utreed squinted and looked around. The air in the room seemed to flow. In a blink of an eye, he only saw the window that had been opened and the dark night sky outside.

"Knock"

In the dark night, the sudden knock on the door was a little harsh.

"Who!" Bill, who was trying to practice the qigong method, suddenly opened his eyes.

Waited for a while, but there was no response. Bill shook his head and closed his eyes again.

"Knock!"

The knock on the door sounded abruptly again. A dark shadow in the room quickly passed by, and the closed door suddenly opened with a squeak. Bill looked around, and there was no half a figure in the empty corridor.

"Strange..." Bill frowned slightly and looked up. He still didn't find anything. He shook his head and turned around and closed the door.

Just as he was about to lock the door, the hair on his hand suddenly stood up, almost instinctively. The sharp dagger fell into his hand and scratched horizontally in the air. The dagger fell empty without accident, but Bill tightened his whole body, retracted the dagger, and alerted like a big enemy.

Bill's behavior was extremely abrupt. He closed the door and the room without opening the magic wall lamp was very dark. Bill stood quietly in the darkness for a minute or two. If outsiders saw it, he would definitely think that Bill was suddenly crazy.

"Not bad." Just as the atmosphere was so solemn and depressing that it seemed to collapse at any time, an indifferent voice suddenly sounded in the dark.

As the sound sounded, the dagger in Bill's hand stabbed in the direction of the sound without hesitation.

The wrist hurt, and the dagger in his hand was out of control. Bill hummed, raised his foot and kicked forward.

His right foot kicked the air again, and Bill took advantage of the ground and was ready to retreat at full speed. But before he could exert his strength, a huge force came from his heart, and Bill staggered under his feet and fell awkwardly to **.

As soon as he fell on **, the soft quilt sank deeply. Bill rolled several times in a row at the moment he fell on **. When he approached the bedside, he suddenly bounced up, and the white light flashed. I don't know when the extra dagger in his hand was shot out by him.

There was a cold hum in my ear, and the dagger that shot out seemed to have shot into a quagmire. It did not hit the other party silently, nor did it shoot straight into the wall as originally thought.

Bill didn't expect this sudden blow to defeat this powerful and terrible opponent who didn't even see the front. At the moment he shot the dagger, he rushed to the door at full speed.

There was a huge force in front of him again. Bill snorted and lost his balance. At the same time, his feet leaned forward vigorously. There was a loud 'bang', but Bill's toes just kicked the door.

Bill did not fall to the soft ** this time, but fell firmly on the hard floor. His back and hit the ground. There was a sharp pain in Bill's back. Just as he opened his mouth, he suddenly covered his mouth with one hand, blocking the call that was about to exit.

Bill stared wide and looked into the darkness, but except that his mouth seemed to be covered by something like a hand, no matter how wide he opened his eyes, he could never see half a figure in the dark. An inexplicable idea that surprised him came to his mind: Is this person transparent?

Bill's whimsicalness did not have an accurate answer, but the voices of Fatty and Magnifers suddenly sounded outside the door.

"Bill, Bill, are you in there?"

"Fat man, what are you doing?"

"It seems that I heard a noise here just now."

"No, you heard it wrong!"

Bill struggled to get rid of the other party's control. At this moment, a cold voice sounded in his ear: "If you want your companion to die, just let them know that I exist."

The hand covering his mouth moved away, and Bill stopped struggling. At this moment, the door was suddenly opened with a 'squeak'!

"Oh, the door is not locked!" Bill was frightened. As soon as he struggled, he was pressed to the ground by a huge force, and his mouth was covered again.

"It's strange that Bill went out without closing the door." The fat man came in from outside the door, and the light of the magic wall lamp in the corridor slanted into the dark room. Bill could clearly see the puzzled expression on the fat man's face.

"Mand maybe he is as hungry as you and wants to find something to eat. I said that you just ask for trouble and get up without having enough for dinner. Lolita is right. You are just pretending to be handsome. McGonifis also poked his head in and looked around. Bill's eyes widened. He clearly saw McGonifis looking in his direction, but strangely, McGonifis seemed to see nothing.

"I'm so handsome, I don't need to dress up." The fat man shrugged his shoulders very flatly, and McGonifis curled his lips with a face that he didn't agree: "Lolita said that I was the only one who was the most handsome in her eyes."

"I'm too lazy to listen to you brag about yourself. If you say that Lolita says you are the ugliest, it's possible." As the fat man said, he glanced at the room in the dark again. Seeing that he still found nothing, he shook his head doubtfully, retreated and closed the door again.

Bill lay there and didn't dare to move, but his eyes were round. He couldn't explain what had just happened. Obviously, the fat man had come in, but he didn't find himself lying not far in front of them. What's going on?

"Hey, fat man, what on earth do you think?" Through the door, Magnifis's voice was still very clear. Bill did not dare to move at will at this time, but continued to lie on the ground, and his covered mouth was free again.

"What do you think?" The two fat men left without hurry, and they stood outside the door and talked.

"Becoming a cabinet elder, my father has agreed. This is a good thing that others can't think of. How can you refuse? In addition, this is not to help me work. Maybe you misunderstood. If you become an elder, it will be equivalent to the identity of a patriarch. At that time, no one will dare to underestimate us in the Kafein family. McGonifis's voice was a little excited.

"McGonifis." The fat man's serious voice sounded.

"What's the matter?"

"I really doubt if you are still Magnifis. I don't know where the thick Magnifis has gone. The responsibility of the Kafein family should have been borne by you. What are you afraid of?

"I..."

"Forget it. Seeing your hesitant look now, I'm angry and go to eat!"

The footsteps of the fat man sounded, but McGonifis seemed to stop in place and did not move.

"You're going to die! Why don't you leave? How can I know where the food is if you don't follow me? The footsteps stopped.

"Fatty, don't forget what you promised me. You're going to Skull College with me."

"Why did you suddenly say this again?"

"Don't you want the answer? If you go to Skull College, I can give you the answer. A week later, on the day of the reopening of the Skull College, the Skull College has an entrance test. Only those who pass can officially enter. There should be no problem between you, Bill and Zhang Kui.

"I don't know what's good about this skeleton college. Well, well, I'm afraid of you. I must go here. Now take me to find food. My stomach is almost starving!"

The fat man seemed to come back again, and then pulled the muttering Magnifis all the way. Listening to the footsteps in the corridor fading away, Bill breathed a long sigh of relief.

"Don't you know that after they leave, there is only a dead end for you? If you shouted just now, maybe you still have a little chance. In the darkness, the outline of a figure appeared vaguely, and there were two cold lights flashing in front of him. Bill knew that it was the other party's eyes.

This is the first time Bill has seen his opponent, although it is only a vague outline and a pair of cold eyes.

"If you want to kill, kill it. There is no need to talk too much."

"Are you not afraid of death?" His eyes were still cold and indifferent. Bill met the other's eyes, and his eyes were also cold: "I'm afraid, but no one can escape death, and you are no exception."

"You are honest." The man suddenly stood up. The pressure in front of Bill was relaxed, and a trace of suspicion appeared in his eyes. The man looked at him condescendingly and coldly: "I'm in a good mood today, so I won't kill you, but maybe next time I will change my mind."

"Who are you? What the hell do you want to do?" Bill stood up from the ground. His eyes were used to the darkness. He could faintly see that the other party was wearing night clothes, and a face he didn't know what he looked like was hiding behind the black veil.

"You don't care who I am, but I know that a person who works hard to practice fighting qi martial arts all the time must hope that he can become stronger, and he will have a reason to become stronger. I don't want to know what the reason is, but I can make him stronger.

"Why do you want to help me?" Bill looked coldly at the other party's eyes and the same cold and indifferent eyes. He seemed to see his own shadow. Maybe... the other party also has this idea.

"You have infinite potential. I just don't want you to bury it. Your performance today is quite good. From now on, I will teach you something every night, but don't be happy too early. If you make me dissatisfied one day, I will kill you at any time. You know, I have this strength. The other party's voice was cold and resolute. Bill looked at the other coldly. From those indifferent eyes, Bill knew that the other party would not and disdain to lie.

"I will beat you one day." Bill looked at each other calmly: "If you can't give me a satisfactory answer, I will kill you."

The other party looked coldly at Bill for a while. It seemed to be an illusion. Bill actually saw a flash of smile from the other party's cold eyes, but when he looked at it again, there was still only cold indifference.

"I'm waiting for that day, but I won't give you a chance to kill me. At this time tomorrow, I will come to you. Remember to open the window at that time, and I will naturally have a way to come in. Also, I don't want others to know my existence.

As he spoke, the other party's figure had gradually integrated into the darkness in front of him. Bill stretched out his hand and caught only the vast air. I turned my head and saw the closed window. I don't know when it had been opened, and the cold night wind swept into the warm room.

"Who the hell will he be?" Bill was a little distracted in his mind, but his memory was empty. How could he find someone who could overlap with the cold guy just now?

Bill looked out of the open window. This was almost the waist of the castle, nearly 20 meters above the bottom. Bill looked down, and there was only dark darkness in the wilderness, and there was no half a figure.

Bill turned around and closed the window. The door was suddenly knocked, with a 'squeak', and the door was opened from the outside.

"Huh? Bill..."

"What's the matter, fat man." Bill turned around, and it was the fat man who came in.

"Oh, it's nothing. It's just that it's a little strange to see that you're not in the room. Where did you go just now? Look, I just got some food from the kitchen, do you want it? The fat man raised the food in his hand to Bill, but there was still a puzzled expression on his face.

"Eat it yourself. I'm not hungry." Bylton paused and said, "I just went to inspect this castle, and I always felt that it was a little strange here. It's a pity that I didn't find anything."

"That's it..." The fat man looked sideways at Bill's eyes. His eyes were as cold and indifferent as ever. The fat man shook his head: "There should be no problem with the territory of Magnidis, but you can have a look. All right, I'm going to bed. You should go to bed early, too. Good night."

The fat man closed the door again, and Bill breathed a long sigh of relief. He was really worried about what the keen fat man would find. Turning his head, he saw that he had handed over the two daggers by the strange man. At this time, he was lying quietly at the head of the bed. The moon, which had just poked out of the cloud, sprinkled silver moonlight, shining on the head of the bed, a dazzling cold light.

"Who the hell is that man?" Bill looked at the two daggers at the head of the bed in a daze, calm and indifferent like a dead heart. At this time, there was also an inexplicable ripple...
