Chapter 323
Facing the sky-high ransom of 500,000 gold coins offered by Cheng Yu, the wrinkles on the old face of the steward of the Weyland family deepened a bit, and he didn't know what to do for a while.
As a small steward, he had no right to decide whether to pay 500,000 gold coins to redeem Beverly. He had to ask the opinion of the patriarch of the Weyland family.
However, he still had to confirm the current condition of Master Beverly.
The steward said, "Lord Cheng Yu, I want to meet Master Beverly first."
"Okay."
Cheng Yu agreed to the steward's request and took the steward to meet Beverly.
Several people came to the construction site.
The workers were working in full swing, and the second town of Bailu Island was about to be completed.
Cheng Yu asked someone to find Beverly.
At this time, Beverly was skinny and his cheeks were sunken. Just as Cheng Yu said, he was as thin as a lightning bolt.
"Essex!"
When Beverly saw the housekeeper of the Weyland family, his lifeless eyes lit up instantly. He rushed over regardless of everything, grabbed the housekeeper's hand, and burst into tears.
"You..."
The originally obese Beverly was so thin that the housekeeper almost didn't recognize him. It took a while to recognize that the skinny man in front of him was Beverly, the sixth young master of the Weyland family.
Young Master Beverly really lost weight successfully, and Lord Cheng Yu did not lie to him.
"That lord is a demon, Essex, you have to take me away from here no matter what."
As if a drowning person grabbed a life-saving straw, Beverly held the housekeeper tightly and didn't let go. He didn't want to stay in this ghost place for a moment.
Looking at the pitiful Beverly, the housekeeper had watched Beverly grow up since he was a child, just like his own son. He felt a little bit sorry for him, so he mustered up the courage to say to Cheng Yu, "Lord Cheng Yu, can you let my young master go first? We can discuss the money."
"No."
Cheng Yu refused directly.
Kidnapping, how can you release someone first and then pay the ransom?
"Lord Cheng Yu, I know you are very powerful, but there are many powerful people in this world besides you. Don't think you are invincible. Our Weiland family knows a powerful person above the legendary level. I hope you don't go too far."
The housekeeper's words were threatening, wanting Cheng Yu to weigh the pros and cons and let Beverly leave Bailu Island.
"What legendary powerful person?"
Cheng Yu was a little curious about how many powerful people above the legendary level were hidden in the Black Sun Empire.
"That legendary strongman is a seventh-level magician. He is very mysterious and rarely shows up. I have only seen him once or twice."
The housekeeper told Cheng Yu the details. The more detailed he was, the more intimidating Cheng Yu would be.
"Seventh-level magician?"
Cheng Yu was stunned for a moment. The sixth level was called the legendary level, and the seventh level was indeed very strong.
Seeing Cheng Yu stunned, the housekeeper thought Cheng Yu was scared, and added some more details, saying that Cheng Yu would definitely let Beverly leave. "Even the patriarch of our Weiland family has to give face to the seventh-level magician. He wears a black robe and is good at insect magic. With a casual move, he can summon countless powerful insects to fight for him."
"Although Lord Cheng Yu is very strong, once you are infected by those highly poisonous insects, I'm afraid you will be in trouble."
Beverly didn't expect that his family actually knew such a powerful magician. He was so excited that he almost laughed out loud. Escape from Bailu Island is stable!
Puff~
Cheng Yu couldn't help laughing out loud.
"What are you laughing at?"
The housekeeper was a little displeased. This Lord Cheng Yu was too presumptuous to dare to laugh at a seventh-level magician.
To be disrespectful to such a legendary existence was tantamount to seeking death.
"Is that the seventh-level magician you are talking about?"
Cheng Yu pointed to a place not far away.
An old man in a black robe of medium build stood in front of a house, holding an ash bucket in one hand and plastering the wall of the house with the other hand.
The housekeeper was confused. The black-robed old man looked very similar to the seventh-level magician that the Weyland family had met. He walked over and asked casually, "Mr. Gene, is that you?"
Gene, who was plastering, heard someone calling him and turned his head to look at the housekeeper, "Who are you? How do you know my name?"
? ? ?
! ! !
The housekeeper was shocked and petrified in an instant. It took him a long time to react.
"Mr. Gene, what are you doing here?"
"As you can see, dusting."
Gene said lightly.
"Why are you dusting here?" the butler asked again.
Why would a seventh-level magician do dusting work on Bailu Island?
"Humph~ Who are you? I love dusting, what's your business?"
Gene didn't know a small figure like the butler, and it was impossible for him to tell the butler that he was defeated by Cheng Yu and was now Cheng Yu's prisoner.
That would be too embarrassing.
"I am Essex, the butler of the Weyland family. When Mr. Gene came to visit the Weyland family, I was responsible for receiving him. You may not remember me."The butler said.
"So you are the butler of the Weyland family."
Gene nodded. He did have some friendship with the patriarch of the Weyland family, and the Weyland family gave him face.
"So, what are you doing here?"
"I was commissioned by the patriarch of the family to come to Bailu Island to rescue Master Beverly." The butler said truthfully.
"What? You are here to save people!"
Gene was immediately excited, and he went over to hold the butler's hand, "Can you save me with you? The lord named Cheng Yu is a devil."
"Save? Didn't you just say that you like to beat the dust?"
The butler thought that Gene came to Bailu Island because he liked to beat the dust.
Gene hoped that the Weyland family would rescue him when they rescued Beverly. He put away his arrogance just now and asked for help, "Help! I can't beat the lord of Bailu Island. His strength is too terrible. I was imprisoned on Bailu Island as a hard laborer."
"Huh? You are a seventh-level magician, but you can't beat that young man named Cheng Yu?"
"I can't beat him, I can't beat him at all, I was almost killed by him, I'm so quiet now." Gene burst into tears.
A seventh-level magician was plastering on the construction site, which was not very harmful, but extremely insulting.
The butler just wanted to use Gene to threaten the Lord of Bailu Island, but Gene himself became a prisoner of the Lord of Bailu Island. This is too outrageous.
From this point of view, the fighting power of this lord is really extremely abnormal. It is almost impossible to save people from him by force.
If force doesn't work, then use wits.
The butler asked Cheng Yu: "Lord Cheng Yu, how about our Weiland family paying 500,000 gold coins to release Master Beverly and Mr. Gene together?"
"This old man is my excellent employee, I won't let him go. "Cheng Yu said.
Gene is a seventh-level magician, and his gold content is far higher than that of the noble young master Beverly.
"Mr. Gene, I'm sorry, he won't let me go."
The butler was helpless and left the place where Gene was lying.
Seeing the butler leave, Gene said excitedly, "Butler, don't leave, save me."
The butler ignored Gene. Although he wanted to save Gene, he was just a small butler and could do nothing. It was good enough to save Master Beverly.
