Volume 6 Chapter 30 - How bold! (1/2)

Xu Yi walked into the hall with soft footsteps.

This was his second time here today.

However, compared to when Xu Yi came into the hall on the first half of the day, he was much more relaxed and he had a casual smile on his face.

Duke Windsor was sitting in the middle while Count Dole was sitting on the side, not saying a word as they waited for him. Xu Yi revealed a faint smile as he thought the results of the negotiations this time would be different from before.

“Greetings to the duchess.” Xu Yi gave Duchess Windsor a bow as per usual standard.

This time Duchess Windsor didn’t ignore him and after looking at him for a while, she gave a nod and stretched out a hand, “Chairman Xu, please sit.”

Although her tone was clam, there was a bit of courtesy in her voice.

Xu Yi didn’t hold back and sat down right in front of Count Dole.

However, when he took a seat, Duchess Windsor’s expression changed and she said in a deep voice, “Chairman Xu, you really are bold!”

Xu Yi’s expression didn’t change as he asked, “Madame, what do you mean?”

“You dare to lead your subordinates to invade this place and attack my subordinates, your courage has reached the heavens!”

Xu Yi revealed a faint smile, “Madame, I don’t understand what you mean. I did lead my subordinates to invade this place and injure your subordinates, but how is that related to how bold I am?”

Count Dole lowered his head to avoid looking at Xu Yi, but when he heard these words, he couldn’t help looking up at Xu Yi in surprise.

Duchess Windsor was also surprised, “Chairman Xu, you clearly know who I am and you still dare do this to me. Could it be that you don’t consider this rash?”

Xu Yi stroked his chin for a bit before shaking his head.

“Madame, I still don’t understand. I know your identity, but how is this related to my courage?”

Duchess Windsor angrily said, “Chairman Xu, you immediately retreated yesterday when you learned my status, so I thought you were a smart person. Knowing to back down when you know you can’t offend me, but I never thought that you were such a stupid fellow!”

“No, madame, you’ve misunderstood. I didn’t say that I didn’t want to offend you yesterday. The reason I chose to leave was because you would have arranged defenses in this manor with your status, so I wasn’t confident in safely rescuing my subordinates. It’s not related to your status or my guts.”

Duchess Windsor revealed a smile of rage, “That means that you’re confessing that you want to offend me?”

Xu Yi smiled without saying a word.

Although he didn’t say anything, this appearance made it clear what he was thinking.

Duchess Windsor’s expression sank as she looked at Xu Yi and her voice became even colder.

“Chairman Xu, are you really not afraid? Since you know my identity, you should know who stands behind me. If you treat me like this, you aren’t afraid of my retaliation? Or perhaps, you’re bold enough to kill me here?”

Xu Yi shook his head with a faint smile, “I really don’t dare. Madame, I didn’t kill a single person this time, so I think that proves my stance. To be honest, I’m not willing to offend you or the Lord Duke behind you, there are no benefits for me or our Frestech Chamber of Commerce.”

“It’s good that you know.” Hearing Xu Yi admit this, Duchess Windsor felt a bit better. She gave a soft snort before continuing, “But chairman Xu, since you already did this, I think you should know what the consequences are. Let me tell you, this matter hasn’t ended here, you should prepare yourself.”

Xu Yi couldn’t help shaking his head, thinking that this Duchess Windsor really couldn’t understand the situation.

“That’s right, this matter hasn’t ended yet. Although my subordinates have been safely rescued, the chief culprit of this incident hasn’t been caught or received his punishment yet.”

Xu Yi turned to Count Dole and Count Dole immediately backed down. But then he stood up straight and looked right at Xu Yi as he said with a cold smile, “What? Chairman Xu, do you still dare move against me?”

Duchess Windsor also gave a cold laugh, “Chairman Xu, I thought that you were smart enough since you didn’t kill any of my subordinates, which means that I would only punish you a bit. I never thought that you would continue causing trouble for Suruk, are you seeking your own death?”

With the support of Duchess Windsor, Count Dole was even more fearless. He raised out his chest and raised his head as he pointed his chin down at Xu Yi, looking like ‘come and get me if you can’.

Xu Yi’s eyes moved from Duchess Windsor to Count Dole and with a smile, he raised his hand as his magic was activated.

“Ka, ka, ka.”

With a few crisp sounds, Count Dole who was looking confident was suddenly covered in a layer of ice.

In the blink of an eye, he was completely encased in ice!

It was summer right now and it was very hot, but there was a large block of ice in this hall. Inside it, there was a person who was completely sealed in with a strange posture. With the cold that came from the ice, it was a very strange sight.

Duchess Windsor was stunned to see this change and after being in a daze, she suddenly let out a sharp scream.

After a while, more than ten guards came in with a middle aged man in a pure white magician’s robe.

Seeing them appear, Xu Yi couldn’t help smiling.

It seems like Duchess Windsor really cares about her own safety, she still kept this many guards by her side.

The middle aged man in the pure white magician’s robe saw Count Dole frozen in ice and then he revealed a look of shock.

“This……This is the Ice Coffin Spell!”
