The noble-like kid with green hair sat inside the room with his butler at the ready. They both exuded a sort of vibe that told people to take them seriously.

The youth pretended like he hadn't heard them coming in. He leisurely sipped his tea while the butler threw a sharp glance their way.

Judging by the stern gaze, this butler is most likely someone from a formidable background.

Because that gaze carried a hint of blood in it.

That is the aura of someone who has killed before.

The savage pressure he leaked also told people that he isn't one for mercy kills, he liked to end his opponents brutally.

And, only the wisest judges of characters can tell that the butler is a wolf in sheep's clothing.

Meanwhile, to the average students, the butler just looked like a normal butler.

"My distinguished guests."

The noble youth stood up as he showed them a sly smile.

"Welcome to my palace."

Palace?

Is this guy talking about the lecture hall being his palace?

Confidence or just a huge ego speaking?

Wu Yan curled his lips. He entered the halls of the Walpurgis Night Executive Committee office.

His feet emitted no noise as he traveled across the luxurious rug.

The grin on that youth's face widened as he allowed Wu Yan to approach. Wu Yan was turned off by his evil grin so he stopped 5 meters away from the youth.

"I don't like beating around the bush."

He said in a confrontational manner.

The butler behind him leaked out his killing intent. The butler positioned himself in a clear path to Wu Yan.

He made sure he could reach Wu Yan.

"Shin, don't be rude to my guest."

The youth waved his hand in an amused fashion.

"I like a little pleasantry, at least, let me introduce myself?"

"The Walpurgis Executive Committee Chairman, the no.10 of the 13 Rounds, Cedric Granville is your name."

Wu Yan said what was on the youth's mind.

"Well, that's you for now."

"Ah, you seem like you know more than you suggested."

The youth grinned.

"Interesting, you're intriguing."

"Well..."

Praising Wu Yan, Cedric grinned again.

"Someone who can command 5 top-tier automata, single-handedly suppressed the Marshal, defeated Felix, and even Bronson was beaten and jailed by you, as someone who has bested an ex-Satan candidate, I must say, you're quite the specimen."

"Most anyone would know about the previous feats, however, not many knew about Bronson's defeat at my hands, Mr.Chairman."

Wu Yan shrugged.

"You have quite the information network, don't you?"

"Let's leave it at that."

The youth laid his eyes on Ikaros and Astrea.

"You have beautiful automata."

"And?"

Wu Yan glanced at Cedric.

"Did you ask me to come here to look at my automata?"

"No, please, you got me wrong."

The youth feigned an angelic smile that hid his malicious intent.

"I have a few hobbies, one is breaking things that are beautiful."

"Nice hobby."

Wu Yan smirked.

"Keep talking like that, I might kill you."

Bam

The butler dashed in his direction.

The butler emitted a magical wave as he vanished.

No, he didn't vanish.

He raised his speed so much that to normal human perception, he vanished.

He stopped as he tried to grab Wu Yan's neck.

Wu Yan didn't move. As a result, the butler got a hold of his neck.

The butler growled as his eyes were filled with killing intent.

"You're the young master's guest, I ask that you clean your filthy mouth."

Shin, the butler grinned.

"Granville family raised good butlers, but, they didn't raise butlers who can handle when their masters are insulted."

Wu Yan watched as Shin threatened to destroy his throat.

As Shin was pondering how to teach him a lesson, a nonchalant voice called out to him.

"Stop it, Shin..."

"This kind of brute, I must defend your honor."

Shin tightened his grip on Wu Yan's neck.

"I am afraid I must delay your request to stay my hand."

"Hmm, I don't mind."

The youth responded.

"Well, defending my honor is all good and dandy, but, my life should come first."

Shin turned around.

The youth shrugged as he raised his arms to surrender.

An angel with a lightsaber held Shin's master by his throat.

Astrea captured Cedric.

"—!"

Shin turned to look at Wu Yan.

When did the blonde angel take his master?

There was only the pink angel who had her eyes filled with data and locked onto Shin.

Shin felt a terrible sense of oppression from Ikaros' eyes.

He knows that if he so much as pinchs any harder on Wu Yan's neck, he will be killed and shredded to pieces, Ikaros' angelic mien notwithstanding.
