"Mr. Luo Wei, this is the kitchen of our manor."
"Oh, thank you."
Luo Wei followed the maid Susan, who was in charge of the kitchen, all the way to the kitchen on the first floor.
The kitchen of the manor was ridiculously large, and the smell of smoked ingredients hit him in the face.
Ophelia didn't come down; with her extreme cleanliness, she certainly wouldn't want to enter the kitchen. The only one following him was her confidant, Caroline.
Of course, there were also a few other maids and chefs in the kitchen who were watching.
Luo Wei pretended to look around, quickly glancing at them.
It was too crowded here, and it wasn't very convenient to do things.
"Hmm... let's start by showing me the ingredients in the manor." He said casually.
"Yes." Maid Susan immediately responded.
She followed behind Luo Wei, curiously observing the back of this young gentleman.
Ever since Mr. Luo Wei moved into the manor, although it hadn't been long, the changes he brought were very significant.
In the past, Princess Ophelia spent most of her time immersed in official duties, rarely paying attention to anything unrelated to work.
And since she didn't like to talk much, the atmosphere in the entire manor was very quiet and dull.
But ever since Mr. Luo Wei moved in, Princess Ophelia seemed like a different person. She spoke more, and the occasional smile appeared on her face.
The usually expressionless Princess Ophelia had smiled more in these few days than she had in the past several years.
Such a change was almost jaw-dropping for them, the longtime confidantes who served her.
Of course, they dared not gossip about the affairs between the Princess and Mr. Luo Wei.
However, she really hoped that Mr. Luo Wei could stay in the manor longer. That way, the Princess's mood would definitely improve.
It seemed that Mr. Luo Wei also liked it here.
When he was with the Princess, they looked well-matched, both gentle with each other, and they didn't argue. It looked very warm and their relationship seemed exceptionally good.
If the manor had such a male master, it would actually be quite nice...
Susan thought to herself.
However... if Luo Wei knew what the maid was thinking, he would definitely want to complain about it.
He didn't want to stay in this broken manor at all; he just wanted to blow it up.
Yes, blow it up.
Luo Wei walked around the huge kitchen several times, memorizing the location of the adjacent steam boiler room.
He also secretly noted down every cooking tool, utensil, and mechanical device that could use magical power.
As the residence of the Princess, the largest noble in the empire, this luxurious manor was far more comfortable than it appeared. It was warm in winter and cool in summer, extremely pleasant.
This was all thanks to the magical technology, which allowed such a retro building to have air conditioning-like effects.
But corresponding to the comfort, these magical devices also brought a "small" safety hazard.
The "airship explosion case" that shocked the citizens of the Royal Capital had just happened not long ago, and the mastermind had not yet been caught. The ripple had not yet subsided, and the entire city was still on edge.
So...
Even if Ophelia could use her power to trap him here and cover up the news, what if another extremely similar "explosion case" occurred?
Involving that level, even Princess Ophelia might not be able to cover it up anymore.
Thinking of this, Luo Wei looked at the maids around him and deliberately showed a picky and dissatisfied expression.
"This is too bad..."
"This is missing, that is missing!"
"The kitchen of the Princess, the fifth daughter of the empire, can't even find a bag of rice. It's not afraid of being laughed at."
"Ah?" Maid Susan looked at him in confusion.
She didn't expect that Luo Wei wanted to cook something related to rice. Their usual menu indeed lacked such ingredients.
The maid asked very responsibly, "Mr. Luo Wei, what do you need? Please list it out, and I'll go out to buy it for you."
Luo Wei looked at her and smiled, saying:
"Alright, I need..."
After sending the maid to buy ingredients, there were fewer people in the kitchen, but there was still that annoying Caroline.
Luo Wei wasn't in a hurry; he could always find a way to get rid of her.
He began to think about another matter.
【Member List...】
【Abnormal-001: Evelyn Abraham】
Opening the team interface, Luo Wei could faintly sense the other's presence, as there was a certain connection between them.
Although he couldn't directly summon Evelyn, Luo Wei could give her some "instructions" regardless of the distance.
For example:
【Remove Restrictions】
【Free Attack Mode (Team members can freely explore and fight)】
Or:
【Punishment Order】
【Restraint Mode (Create a painful chain to forcibly restrict the team member's mobility and reduce their pollution level)】
Luo Wei leaned against the kitchen wall, amusing himself.
【Remove Restrictions】
【Punishment Order】
【Remove Restrictions】
【Punishment Order】
...
Evelyn's expression, far away in Saint Callen on the other side, must be very interesting.
Luo Wei wasn't deliberately teasing her or bored and looking for trouble.
He was just expressing his "presence."
After taking in Evelyn, the two hadn't been together for too long.
Their relationship... was a bit strange.
After all, no one wants to be locked up in an old house, unable to go anywhere, and suddenly having a "master."
Evelyn must still harbor resentment towards him, full of complaints.
She probably clapped her hands with joy when she saw him being forcibly taken away by Ophelia...
But Luo Wei wouldn't let her go.
Because she was his only remaining influence on the outside world. To escape from this manor, he still needed her help.
Back then, when Luo Wei let her go, it was after hearing that Ophelia had returned to the Royal Capital, and he had thought of a way out in advance.
Now, it was time to use this card...
...
In the eastern district of Saint Callen, in a quiet alley.
This was a shortcut out of the city. Evelyn, carrying a travel bag, hurried along the road.
Suddenly, a strange noise came from the front of the quiet alley.
Evelyn became alert, and a bit of blood magic gathered in her hand.
"Who's there!"
She shouted coldly.
A black shadow flashed quickly, and Evelyn saw several familiar black tentacles.
Helena, with a blank expression, appeared in front of her.
"You look so hurried..."
She glanced at Evelyn, who was dressed neatly, and asked softly:
"Are you trying to escape?"
Evelyn recognized the person in front of her, relaxed her vigilant eyes for a moment, and then chuckled.
"What's with the talk of escaping? Do I need to report to you where I want to go?"
"That won't do..." Helena continued to approach without expression.
Her tentacles also spread out.
Evelyn frowned immediately. "Get out of the way! I have something urgent to do!"
"No!" Helena's tentacles immediately extended.
The tentacles covered the narrow alley, completely blocking Evelyn's path.
"Go save my brother! Otherwise, you're not allowed to leave the city!"
Evelyn sighed and put down her travel bag.
"Save Luo Wei?"
She shrugged. "Does he even need me to save him... I'm sure he's on a sweet honeymoon with his old flame right now. I don't want to disturb their good time..."
Unexpectedly, this joke-like muttering immediately touched Helena's sensitive nerves.
"Sweet honeymoon..."
"Sweet honeymoon?"
She shook her head excitedly. "Impossible! Absolutely impossible!"
"Brother... Brother doesn't like that weird woman at all! What's good about her?!"

for mindless slaughter, this isn't for you.] My name is Ye Shu, and I'm a transmigrator. It seems I'm supposed to be the protagonist, but that feels pretty unlikely.

young master of the Shen family—a figure of immense power and wealth beyond measure—and awakened the "Destined Ultimate Villain System"! His starting scenario? Running into his icy fiancée who shows up with a mountain-descending divine doctor to break off their engagement. The divine doctor arrogantly taunts: "What does your Shen family have besides a bit of stinking money? You're not even worthy of tying Qingxue's shoelaces!" Shen Fei just smiled. He completely defied the usual script: "Fine, I agree to break off the engagement. Also, notify the finance department to withdraw all investments from the Su family."

Shen Fei: "A trillion in capital to reverse and pump the stock market, making you blow your margin and jump on the very first day of your rebirth!" What Chosen Ones? What bearers of Heavenly Fortune? In Shen Fei's eyes, they're all just chives (i.e., suckers/marks) waiting to be harvested! Shen Fei: "Sorry, but as the Destined Ultimate Villain, I don't play by the rules of honor. I only play the game of dimensional suppression."
