BXBX NOVEL Chapter 197 Blaire
"Blaire! Are you engaging in scandalous activities with clients again?"
A crisp and cold voice echoed from the service window to the side, intentionally reverberating throughout the hall as though to attract the attention of everyone present.
"Young man, this woman is like a venomous snake, always trying to ensnare clients with her beauty, daring to make an attempt on the Young Master of Lord Oliver\'s Estate," the man behind Leonardo tapped his shoulder with a firm grip, giving him the eye signal.
Leonardo wanted to laugh.
This man was blatantly threatening him to play along.
Someone with a private estate in a district must be a four-star official at the least, and five-star at most. This man probably didn\'t hear Leonardo\'s conversation with Blaire a moment ago, otherwise, he would come to realize he was threatening a four-star citizen.
The man continued, "Don\'t worry about anything, young man. As long as you come clean with how she tried to seduce you, our men will immediately accompany her from here and provide you with a decent compensation for your wasted time."
The scene was quickly drawing in the attention of the crowd, leaving Leonardo speechless.
The woman barely spoke, muttering only his name.
Wait…
Leonardo\'s eyes widened in shock as he looked back at this woman once more. Of course, the moment she muttered his name, these people reacted.
She must have known that they were listening, or at least, they were listening to her side of the conversation by lip reading or something similar.
The moment she realized that he would become a certified four-star citizen, she decided she might as well drag him into this mess.
As expected, there was a trace of an apologetic plea in her otherwise panic-filled eyes as she returned Leonardo\'s glance.
"I\'ve been duped big this time…" Leonardo kneaded his forehead, sighing with exasperation.
He couldn\'t besmirch his name with the accusation of committing to a case of blatant seduction on the same day he received his certifications of promotion.
People would easily associate that with bribing his way to the upper echelons of the local authority. With that in mind, Leonardo shook his head and sighed.
"You know, even if I wanted a woman, would I waste my time on an ordinary woman struggling to make a living?" The moment he finished talking, his powerful level 71 aura exploded to envelop the entire hall.
Although harmless, the message was clear.
pαпdα-ňᴏνê|·сóМ I am a divinity. Let alone a pitiful non-cultivator, not even a mortal can handle his energy radiations if they were to take him.
Leonardo bitterly recalled when Nier took the initiative.
She was a divinity back then while he was a pitiful level 10 mortal, he was instantly knocked out upon entering her body.
The man was lost for words, not knowing how to respond. However, his expression quickly darkened and he asked, "Are you sure?"
Leonardo stared blankly for a moment, how should he respond to this?
"Of course I am sure! Courting this woman is no different from carrying out a premeditated murder case," Leonardo wanted to slap this man dead with one hand.
"What\'s going on?" A knight that radiated powerful energy waves entered the hall, frowning while inspecting the situation. He wondered if anyone dared blatantly fight in this place, that would be a new level of stupidity.
Although a lot of people felt like laughing at Leonardo\'s remarks, no one dared be disrespectful to a state knight. His powerful aura was secondary, the fact that this man had the City Magistrate Manor behind him was the true power.
The knight immediately focused on the source of the powerful aura; Leonardo.
Leonardo smiled and saluted the knight with impeccable etiquette, explaining calmly, "I was caught in the struggle of a few pests so I had to display my stance in such an overbearing manner, my Shi Estate will gladly offer an apology letter and an explanation to the City Magistrate Manor by the end of the day."
Although Leonardo knew he was publicly slapping the Oliver Estate in the face right now, he honestly didn\'t care. He was about to be appointed an Estate himself, the only thing left to do was to receive the certificated deed to a land in the 7th District.
With his new status as a Landlord, he wasn\'t in the mood to play with these pitiful struggles. He could almost imagine the sequence of events leading to this moment in his head.
Some brat wanted the beautiful girl in an honest and aboveboard manner, which she rejected, and he began to toy with her life and make it difficult ever since.
"Is that so?" The knight clearly liked Leonardo\'s attitude. Leonardo had a very powerful aura, yet he was so respectful.
"It\'s my fault, respected knight!" Blaire immediately stood up and bowed deeply, "Today happened to be the day of my resignation, and I was very interested to work in Lord Shi\'s Estate, but recently I had these rumors about me which implicated my Lord and caused an inconvenience…"
"You slut!"
The man to the side finally couldn\'t take this woman\'s games anymore and snapped, pointing a trembling finger at her.
Since when did she even mention resigning?
Working for Lord Shi too?!
The hell?!
Blaire recoiled back with a pale face, crouching down while covering her head, "I\'m sorry…"
"Indolence!"
The knight could barely believe his ears, this bastard actually dared yell out such vulgarities and accusations to the employees of the Magistrate Manor.
Is that to say that the Magistrate Manor is hiring sluts now?!
The man just realized the gravity of his words, but Blaire already beat him to it and spoke up, "I don\'t wish to inconvenience the Magistrate Manor with my ruined reputation, hence I forwarded my resignation letter, I hope that respected knight would allow me to leave with Lord Shi…"
The man almost spat blood from anger, while Leonardo didn\'t know whether to laugh or cry.
The knight didn\'t know how to respond either, he gave Leonardo an inquisitive look.
Leonardo kneaded his forehead and sighed.
"Yeah, I offered her a job, but then this man right here began accusing her of something like seducing people, ensnaring men, venomous snake, or something like that," Leonardo pointed at the man who had a red face throbbing with anger.
With this excuse, the knight had some grounds to stand on, immediately wanting to move and to take action. However, Leonardo had yet to finish talking.
"Actually, I have my work contract ready right here," Leonardo took out a paper and a quill, leaning on a nearby counter to write.
"Party B commits to a lifelong of exclusive servitude to Party A, effective for as long as party A deems the service of party B necessary, including but not limited to excessive physical labor…"
Once he was done, Leonardo stamped his spiritual seal under the signature bar for Party A, handing the contract over to Blaire with a faint smile.
"If you want to work for me, just put your blood or spiritual signature there as party B, we can have the respected knight as a witness and submit a copy of the contract to the Magistrate Manor on our way back."
