Chapter 6: Putting on the Appearance of a Profligate

I love to hear this, you are quite good, work hard, I have high hopes for you

In his impression, this was the first time Xia Fan showed him such respect, and judging by Xia Fan's gaze, this respect clearly came from the heart, which made the old butler feel quite strange for a moment

The words that had yet to be spoken were immediately stifled in the throat, as I watched Xia Fan stagger further and further away. Unable to contain myself, I spat forcefully on the ground and muttered resentfully under my breath: "Not raising useless people? You are the biggest useless person in the Xia family!"

Do not be afraid, the second one is just being impulsive; could it be that he can truly understand the accounts?

Xia Fan waved his hand with a generous demeanor, squinting as he spoke

The manager said with some hesitation

Just as the steward let out a sigh of relief, Xia Fan's voice suddenly came again: "By the way, there is one more thing. Since the Beast Park has been closed, you should organize the accounts of the Beast Park over the years and report back to me later. After all, the expenses for these fighting beasts have always been charged to my account, and I need to know where my money has been spent, don't I"

Xia Jun Kai waved his hand dismissively, watching the direction in which Xia Fan left, his expression somewhat unpleasant

However, before he could speak, Xia Fan's voice came again: "You better not tell me there are no accounts. As the steward, after managing the Hundred Beasts Garden for such a long time, if you don't even have a single account, then I think you have no reason to continue staying in our Xia family. After all, our Xia family does not support useless people"

The old butler respectfully responded and then turned to leave the room

Xia Fan chuckled and followed behind the old steward

The steward, not daring to delay, hurriedly got up from the ground, yet still did not dare to raise his head and said with his head bowed: "Second Young Master, you overstate it. In our hearts, you are the most amiable and approachable. In the entire Xia family, there is no one more reasonable than you."

The larger the family, the more it emphasizes rules; a family that wishes to maintain and continuously develop will inevitably lose some degree of warmth and human connection.

Xiatian Ya was stroking his chin, muttering to himself, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt it was indeed the reason. He couldn't help but snort coldly and angrily said, "Go and bring him in! This troublesome fellow! At this age, he still doesn't know right from wrong! If he dares to come and talk to me about the same old matters, I will confine him for a year!"

Although he is the legitimate young master of the Xia family, the biological son of the clan leader, he still needs someone to notify in advance to meet the clan leader

Crawling on the ground, he bowed deeply, lowering his head, with a flash of deep-seated resentment in his eyes, yet he spoke with utmost respect: "What the Second Young Master says is true; it is I who have overstepped. I will immediately send someone to dismantle this Beast Garden, ensuring that tomorrow, Second Young Master, you will no longer see this Beast Garden!"

The expression on the manager's face stiffened once again, instinctively wanting to find a reason to refuse.

Yes, young master. However... although I have smoothed out the figures in the account book, there are still quite a few discrepancies in the content, this...

In his view, how could someone as incompetent as Xia Fan possibly discern his methods? ... He could still manipulate him at will; if one attempt failed, there would always be a second or third chance

The elderly butler, with a head full of white hair, bowed and responded to the library.

The old steward's movements clearly paused for a moment, yet he ultimately straightened his back slowly with Xia Fan's support, and then deeply gazed at Xia Fan.

He walked all the way to the outside of the courtyard, bowed respectfully to the quietly waiting Xia Fan outside the courtyard, and said: "Second Young Master, please follow me."

How strange, this little rascal usually avoids me at all costs, so why would he suddenly come over to seek me out? Could it be that he feels too pressured by the constant scrutiny and doesn't want to practice martial arts, thus coming to me to vent his frustrations?

The figure that suddenly appeared was none other than Xia Jun Kai

At this moment, the contemporary clan leader of the Xia family, Xia Tianya, was frowning as he looked at a document

Well, I heard everything that just happened. Since the second one wants to see the accounts, you should show him the accounts! After all, he is your master; when the master gives an order, you cannot refuse to comply.

In response to the head of the family, the second young master has been under the watch of Miss Ye these past few days, consistently practicing martial arts in his own courtyard, and has not left or caused any trouble.

When he suddenly received a report from the old butler, who had always been by his side, that Xia Fan wanted to see him, Xia Tianya was clearly taken aback

I have met the young master

Xia Fan immediately stepped forward to support the old butler and performed a ceremonial bow, smiling as he said: "Thank you for your efforts, but let's dispense with the formalities from now on. You have worked hard for the Xia family your entire life, and as your junior, I cannot accept your courtesy."

No matter what ... ... Xia Fan. ... ... must die! Otherwise, this so-called young master of the Xia family, who has no blood relation whatsoever, will never truly inherit the Xia family!

Xia Fan retracted his right foot, feeling somewhat dissatisfied with the force of his kick.

Xia Tianya looked at the butler beside him, his face filled with confusion as he asked

Muttering to oneself, as one turned around, a tall figure suddenly appeared before them. The steward was taken aback, but upon recognizing who it was, their face immediately filled with a respectful expression once again

He was unclear why Xia Fan had not died just now. Ye Yiran's wooden sword had been tampered with by him beforehand, and what should have been a sure thing unexpectedly went awry, which left Xia Jun Kai feeling quite upset.

However, the old butler did not say much, and there was no change in the expression on his face. He simply nodded and then turned to walk towards the courtyard

As Xia Jun Kai silently steeled himself, Xia Fan had already arrived at the core area of the Xia family estate, waiting outside the patriarch's courtyard

He shook his head, clasped his hands behind his back, slightly bent forward, squinted his eyes at the steward sitting on the ground, and coldly said: "When did it become your place to question my decision, young master? Who do you think you are? How dare you consider my thoughts to be wrong?"

Did that little rascal come over to see me on his own? Has he gotten into some trouble again recently

Xia Fan, with a beaming smile, reached out to pat the steward's shoulder, and then walked away with a swaggering gait.

The steward was momentarily stunned, and then disregarding the pain in his abdomen, he swiftly turned over and knelt directly in front of Xia Fan

Xia Junkai said in a deep voice

Xia Junkai clenched his fist, while his mind was occupied with other matters. Opportunities like the previous one were abundant, and although the unexpected events could be somewhat frustrating, he did not let them weigh too heavily on his mind

But now that it has come to this, one can only face it.

This kind of respect is completely different from the respect shown when facing Xia Fan just now

Well, that's more like it. Alright, get up. Look at you, trembling all over in fear. Do you really find me so terrifying? Or do you think I am unreasonable?
