Chapter Summary
If he broke down after saying a few words, he would be letting down his current position and the young lady's favor towards him. If we lose one or two War God-level experts, who can bear that responsibility?" This guy didn't dare to openly disobey orders, so he thought of secretly blocking the matter and also giving himself a heads-up that if it failed, it was because the orders were given too hastily and had little to do with him. There will inevitably be some chaos when hunting a War God-level...
This guy had already endured a lot of disdain when he was a guard, so he wasn't really bothered by this situation. After all, there were plenty of people who were even worse than him. After becoming the head butler, most people had made some unpleasant comments about him, but what could he do? Was he going to quit his job? He had endured so much disdain while working for the young lady, wasn't it all for this day? If he broke down after saying a few words, he would be letting down his current position and the young lady's favor towards him.
"Second Young Master, everything you said is correct. That's why I don't usually come here, for fear of making you uncomfortable. I'm here today because it's very important. The Eldest Miss has given the order that you must set off immediately. If you stay here any longer, you might not be able to complete the mission. This is the mission for this time. I hope you can take a good look at it. Your troops are already prepared outside. It must be completed within three months."
The head steward said neither humbly nor arrogantly, "Actually, this is also one of Jia Wenlan's strategies. Since you're always causing trouble for me at home, I'll find a way to get you out of here. This mission is not simple. This guy is to hunt a ferocious beast in the wild, and it's a beast of the War God level. If he encountered one normally, it would be very easy, but if you're sent to search for it in the wild, it won't be so simple. You have to collect information from various places, and you also have to send people to investigate, find the beast's whereabouts from footprints and droppings, and then arrange for experts to surround and capture it. You have to know that this is a War General level beast, and it's very difficult to surround and capture it in the wild. But for the Jia family, it's not that difficult, it's just a waste of time. But this is something he has never done before."
The second young master was displeased upon hearing this, but he couldn't directly object. Jia Wenlan was now like the Crown Prince of Jian Kingdom; if he objected, everyone would have something to say. Many people already disliked the second young master. He dared to disobey the eldest young lady's orders; how could he remain a capable assistant to the Jia family in the future? Many people would surely kick him while he was down, and he wouldn't even have a chance to turn things around. So, while the eldest young lady was returning to inherit the position of family head, this young man was also the second heir, and those below had long wanted to get rid of him.
"Aren't you going a bit too far? This seems like you're blatantly trying to suppress me. Even if that's the case, you should at least come up with a better reason. Right now, for the sake of the young lady's personal interests, you need to mobilize the family's guards to hunt down a War God-level ferocious beast. Have you considered how much this will cause our family? If we lose one or two War God-level experts, who can bear that responsibility?"
This guy didn't dare to openly disobey orders, so he thought of secretly blocking the matter and also giving himself a heads-up that if it failed, it was because the orders were given too hastily and had little to do with him.
"Second Young Master, do I need to elaborate on this responsibility? Since you are the one in charge of this operation, the responsibility will naturally fall on your shoulders. We often issue similar missions in the past. For our entire family, this kind of mission is really nothing. If you cannot complete it, you can write a report to the higher-ups. There are many people in our family who are willing to lead the team. We should give such opportunities to those who are useful. If we give them your resources, I think they will be very willing to complete such missions, even if it costs them their lives. I wonder if the Second Young Master has such thoughts? If so, I can do it for you."
The butler's sarcastic rebuke left him feeling uneasy. He couldn't possibly agree to it. Although his resources had been halved, they were still more than enough for others if he focused on his cultivation. However, saying he didn't want to do the task was a different matter entirely. Refusing to complete the task was not the same as cheating. The family might punish him then, and given Jia Wenlan's current hostility, she might even strip him of his heir status. Without the heir status, how could anyone respect him? He could be kicked out at any time. So, he absolutely couldn't say such a thing.
"Stop acting like a bully. When did I say I couldn't complete this mission? Get out of here. You have no right to speak here. If you're a dog for someone, you'll be a dog for someone for life. This time, I'm going to hunt down this war god-level beast. Open your eyes and take a good look. I'm not like you. I have a natural bloodline. You people may hang around in our house, but you'll eventually be kicked out. When you're too weak, I'll see what happens to you."
Although the second young master was furious, he didn't dare to involve the eldest young lady in this matter. So he could only scold the head steward. After all, the head steward was nothing special, and someone like him was just a servant.
Looking at the second young master's back, the butler's face also revealed a sinister expression. He thought it was still the same as before, and that he was the number two heir here. Although he still holds his position, everyone can see that he no longer has the strength to cause trouble in this family. This time, someone might just send him on his way.
Hunting a War God-level ferocious beast is dangerous. Although you have many powerful people with you, if you just randomly plant a few strong people inside, even the Second Young Master wouldn't be able to find them. There will inevitably be some chaos when hunting a War God-level ferocious beast, and unexpected situations will arise one after another. If they want to send you to your death, isn't it just a matter of saying a word?
It has been said before that the King of Hell is easier to deal with than his underlings, but the Second Young Master did not understand this point. So this guy can only suffer bad luck. Under such circumstances, if he is not injured, he is really a failure as a steward, unable to even handle a down-on-his-luck phoenix.
