Volume 6 Chapter 24 - Duchess Windsor (1/2)

Two and a half hours later, the ten Magic Airships quickly traveled the three hundred kilometers to Count Dole’s manor.

Akali was still in Count Dole’s hands, so Xu Yi naturally couldn’t act carelessly. He ordered the ten Magic Airships to land on the flat ground in front of the manor.

When he came out of the cabin, he looked through the open gates of the manor to see the soldiers in bright armour crowding around three luxurious horse carriages as they came out.

Xu Yi curled his lips, thinking that his guess was right.

This Count Dole had found a helper, that was what gave him the confidence to move against the Frestech Chamber of Commerce’s workers.

The nobles of the Stantine Duchy all had several Magic Sedans to replace their horse carriages, the horse carriage that Count Dole rode before was already cast aside by him. Now that these luxurious horse carriages came out, it was clear that they came from another country.

Xu Yi and Evita brought ten guards with them from the Magic Airship and headed over to those horse carriages.

Those horse carriages took the smooth cement road outside the cabin and stopped fifty meters away from the Magic Airships.

The first horse carriage opened and Count Dole slowly came out.

After seeing Xu Yi, Count Dole had a strange and proud smile on his lips. He reached his hand out to the side and bent slightly, like he was prepared to support someone out.

Seeing this action, Xu Yi was more certain of his own guess.

Count Dole was famous for being arrogant among the nobles in the south of the duchy, but now he was acting this respectful. It was clear that the person inside the horse carriage was someone far beyond him.

What Xu Yi didn’t expect was that there was a delicate and smooth hand that came out of the horse carriage.

As this hand appeared, there was a woman who was dressed up even though it was summer in luxurious clothes that followed.

Based on their facial features, this woman looked to be at most thirty years old.

But based on the wrinkles that were in the corner of her eyes and other small details, one could see that her actual age wasn’t just thirty.

It was clear that she came from some large noble family and she had taken care of herself when she was young, so her face looked youthful.

Compared to her face, what showed her status more was her aura.

When she came out, she maintained a natural aloof stance.

This stance wasn’t like the arrogance that the newly rich let out, rather it was someone who was naturally born with it.

This kind of aura, it definitely was not something that normal citizens would have.

Seeing this woman, Xu Yi slightly knitted his brows.

He never thought that the back Count Dole invited would be such a noble lady.

Based on the etiquette of the Sines Continent, Xu Yi gave that madam a bow before turning to Count Dole and saying in a deep voice, “Count Dole, I ask you to immediately release the workers of our company. If they haven’t been hurt at all, I can treat it as if this matter never happened.”

Count Dole looked at Xu and acted surprised as he said, “Chairman Xu, you lost the people of your company, why did you come looking for me? I don’t know where they went. Perhaps they were bored of working and went to play at the sea?”

“You……”

Evita had just made this angry sound when Xu Yi raised his hand to stop her.

“Count Dole, we all know what happened, so please don’t waste time. I’ll give you an hour to release the workers of our company, otherwise you can only blame yourself.” Xu Yi said in an indifferent tone.”

Count Dole raised his brows, “Chairman Xu, I already said that I don’t have them, are you planning on forcing this to me? Even if you are……”

This time, it was the noble woman beside Count Dole who raised her hand to cut him off.

“Suruk, what are you afraid of?” The noble woman slightly knitted her brows as she looked at Count Dole with confusion, “Aren’t the people you caught this fellows subordinates? Since you caught them, what is there to hide? That is just embarrassing.”

With the noble woman exposing this, Count Dole revealed an awkward smile, “This…..Aunt, I was just teasing him.”

The noble woman gave a cold snort, “What fun is there in teasing this small person, I don’t have the time to play with them. Tell him to scram right now and don’t dare take a single step here, otherwise I will break his legs.”

Xu Yi, Evita, and the guards led by Hart were surprised.

Wasn’t this noble woman being too arrogant?

Did she know who Xu Yi was?
