Chapter 90: A Day in the Life of a Baron

After Qi Xuansu officially pretended to be the baron, the first visitor he welcomed was the baron's mistress.

However, it was not the "chief mistress" Susan Grimshaw, but the mistress who was most favored by the baron in recent years, and also the youngest and most beautiful mistress. Her name was Monica Summers.

Monica was a first name, not a last name. For two people who were close to each other, it was natural to call her by her first name, not a polite last name.

To be fair, whether it was Eastern or Western aesthetics, this woman was quite beautiful, with black hair and black eyes, just like Orientals, but her face was exotic, just like Westerners.

However, Qi Xuansu did not want to have any physical contact with this woman. In this regard, Qi Xuansu was a bit like a young lady. Except for beating, killing and Zhang Yuelu, he did not like to have too much physical intimacy with others, an instinctive disgust. Even if it was Xiao Yin, he would lift her collar more often than hold her in his arms.

So Qi Xuansu wrapped himself tightly in a cloak, like a silkworm pupa, pretending to be weak, to prevent the woman from approaching.

The woman was all kinds of caring and affectionate.

Qi Xuansu dealt with it carelessly, just hoping that the woman would leave quickly. He wanted to play the role of the baron, and wanted to understand the inside story of St. York from a different perspective, and maybe there would be some unexpected gains, but he didn't come to enjoy the baron's woman.

After about an hour, the old housekeeper finally said: "Miss Samos, the baron should rest."

Monica got up reluctantly, and did not forget to look at the old housekeeper with dissatisfaction, as if to say, when I become the real hostess here, you will see what will happen.

The old housekeeper turned a blind eye and ignored this lucky woman who was once at the bottom but now jumped to a high position.

Qi Xuansu avoided Monica's parting kiss and imitated the baron's tone and said, "Monica, do you need my help recently?"

"No, dear Ramon, you have done enough for me, I don't need anything." Monica said affectionately, "I am with you because of love, I love you so much."

Wu Niang appeared not far away and sneered coldly: "When a woman says she doesn't want anything, it often means she wants everything."

"Insightful." Qi Xuansu agreed, "But what does it have to do with me? I'm not a baron."

After Monica left, the old housekeeper said slightly dissatisfiedly: "You should respond to Monica. Don't you like women? Even if you don't like it, you should overcome it."

Qi Xuansu said lightly: "I don't like the tone of your speech."

The old housekeeper was startled, and then his eyes became bright, revealing a bit of murderous intent.

Did this adventurer forget his identity? Really think of himself as a baron?

Qi Xuansu didn't care about the old housekeeper's thoughts.

Although this old butler has a good strength, which is roughly equivalent to the heavenly being in the free and easy stage, it is obviously not worth mentioning in front of Qi Xuansu. He and the baron will not know that their move is not to invite a wolf into the house, but to invite a dragon into the house, a powerful dragon crossing the river.

"Don't forget your identity. A qualified butler should not talk to his master like this, let alone stare at his master with wide eyes." Qi Xuansu continued.

The old butler's chest rose and fell obviously, and then he lowered his eyes and returned to his usual humility: "Yes, Mr. Baron, I apologize to you."

However, what the old butler thought in his heart, and how to deal with this daring "usurper" when the baron came back, only he knew.

Next is the baron's confidant, Micah Bell.

Qi Xuansu no longer wrapped himself in a cloak, and sat in the middle of the long sofa very naturally and relaxedly, without intending to share with others.

When Micah came in, Qi Xuansu stared at him closely: "Micah, you are here. In the words of the Orientals, you always come to the temple for no reason. Tell me, what good news or bad news have you brought me?"

Quoting the words of the Orientals is one of the Baron's habits, which is in line with his personality. Preemptive strike is the way and method. As long as you put yourself in an offensive posture, others will be tired of dealing with it and will not stop to think about the truth of the Baron.

Micah has a very exaggerated beard, like two crescent moons hanging on his lips. He sat down on the single sofa next to him and said, "Sir, Sean is dead."

According to the information, Sean is a small factory owner who has some unpleasant business with the Baron. The reason is that the Baron took a fancy to a piece of land under Sean's name and intended to buy it, but Sean was unwilling to sell it, and the relationship between the two sides quickly became rigid. The Baron asked Micah to handle the matter, which was Micah's solution.

Qi Xuansu did not speak, but just stared at Micah coldly.

Micah was originally sitting with his legs crossed and a cigar in his mouth, but under Qi Xuansu's gaze, he gradually felt an inexplicable pressure. He first put down his legs, then extinguished the cigar, and finally straightened his upper body and stopped leaning on the sofa.

"Is this your way of dealing with it?" Qi Xuansu had a good grasp of the tone of this kind of superior. He was not harsh, but full of pressure. After all, he was also a superior.

Micah bowed his head slightly: "I just don't want you to tarnish your gloves because of this kind of thing."

Qi Xuansu did not comment: "Is there any difference?"

Micah was silent.

Qi Xuansu said: "You know what to do."

Micah suddenly raised his head and looked at Qi Xuansu.

Qi Xuansu did nothing, just looked at him indifferently, without any emotion.

In the end, Micah retreated and lowered his head again: "Yes, Your Excellency."

Qi Xuansu said in a cold tone: "Forget it this time, I won't be so lucky next time."

Micah stood up and left.

After a long time, the old butler whispered: "Your Excellency, your performance this time is perfect. It's just a little risky. What if Micah resists? You don't have enough power to suppress him. After all, that cloak can only Just imitating the momentum.”

Qi Xuansu said indifferently: "How do you know that I don't have the power to suppress him? Besides, don't you still have me?"

The old housekeeper was shocked and realized something was wrong.

Qi Xuansu had already stood up and asked, "Is there anything else?"

The old housekeeper gathered his thoughts and replied: "Miss Molly caused a little trouble when she went to Zhongcheng District. She accidentally sucked the son of a congressman dry. The law enforcement officer sent by Zhongcheng District will be here soon."

Molly O'Shea, the Baron's daughter. The sucking here is of course not sucking dry in the sense of male and female, but literally sucking all the blood.

The baron wanted to deal with the aftermath of his daughter and smooth out the relationship. He first asked her to leave St. York temporarily and return to her hometown in the Old World. He also prepared a huge compensation and handed over several scapegoats.

However, the congressman was not reconciled and clamored that the murderer must be brought to justice, so this law enforcement officer came to visit.

Qi Xuansu said: "Let them come."

The old housekeeper hesitated to speak, and finally just took a deep look at Qi Xuansu, turned around and left.

The meeting place this time was no longer the private small living room on the second floor, but the large living room on the first floor. The law enforcement officers were coming fiercely. In addition to a real law enforcement officer, there was also Colt's steam "law enforcement officer" , a total of five of them, lined up behind them one after another, as if they were going to search the baron's mansion.

"Okay, Baron." Law Enforcement Officer Ross sat opposite Qi Xuansu, "In Eastern terms, let's get straight to the point and stop beating around the bush. I mentioned a deal to you before, and you should agree to it."

Qi Xuansu responded based on the information given by the baron: "An illegitimate child is not worth so much money, unless you want to get more from it."

Ross said: "Since you don't want to give the money, hand over Miss O'Shea."

"You know, this is impossible." Qi Xuansu seemed to have truly integrated into the role of the baron, leaning back in his chair, "You are all in vain."

The old housekeeper seemed to want to say something, but was interrupted directly by Qi Xuansu: "You have no place to speak here."

The old housekeeper had no choice but to swallow the words that came to his lips and took a deep look at Qi Xuansu again.

Ross seemed to see some clues and stood up suddenly.

A powerful momentum rushed towards him.

This is the breath of alchemical arcana.

Qi Xuansu disagreed: "What do you want to do in my territory? Fight against me?"

The old housekeeper couldn't care less about Qi Xuansu's anger for the time being, as if he was facing a formidable enemy.

Men belonging to the baron also appeared outside the hall.

Ross sneered: "Your Majesty, Baron, you seem to be seriously ill?"

Qi Xuansu was still sitting on the sofa: "That's not something a pile of junk like you can contend with."

Rose's lips curled up: "Oh? I don't think so. Ramon, I'll give you one last chance. Do you think you are a true noble by putting on a hat called 'Baron' for yourself? Every Everyone knows that every penny you have is dirty, you are just a stinky rat hiding in the gutter, who do you think you are?"

Qi Xuansu said calmly: "My money is not clean, so is your money clean? Is the prosperity built with bones and blood so clean? What qualifications do you have to laugh at me? Mr. Noble Law Enforcement Officer."

Rose's playful smile turned into anger, as if he saw the bluff of the baron in front of him, he punched Qi Xuansu in the face.

The old butler next to him had his pupils contracted and was about to take action, but sadly found that he had no time to stop him. The result was that this clumsy adventurer would have his head blown off by Rose and turn into a headless corpse. This also meant that the Baron's plan Total bankruptcy.

But the next moment, the old housekeeper's regret turned into shock.

Because Rose's fist stopped when it was still more than ten centimeters away from Qi Xuansu's face, Qi Xuansu's five fingers were firmly grasped on his wrist, preventing the modified prosthetic arm from moving.

Qi Xuansu's method of military solution brought the inheritance of the acquired immortal to Wuniang's body, including the inheritance of martial arts.

The five steam "law enforcement officers" brought by Ross immediately stepped forward, only to see a flash of fire.

Under the high temperature, these five "law enforcement officers" directly turned into molten iron, but the flames did not spread to the hall at all. This kind of control ability is really amazing.

This is the flame from Wuniang herself.

Wu Niang appeared next to Qi Xuansu, stroking her palms and saying with a smile: "Okay, good cooking. Burn five first, then five more."
