Rise of an Empire

"Your Majesty the Duke, as a housekeeper, I must remind you that it is best not to bring those messy women home." Thrawn still looked meticulous, standing in front of the table and speaking in a deep voice to Conrad. said.

Gudrun, who had just arranged for Tina to rest in the guest room, also walked in at this time. It can be seen that the head maid had a lot of resentment towards Conrad for bringing a woman back casually.

After all, she had just carefully looked at the woman who was trembling like a quail. Although Gudrun thought that she was definitely more beautiful than the other party, in any case, Tina was much younger than her.

What's more, the other person's body looks bigger than yours.

"Thrawn, let's not talk about that question for now. I want to ask, how much do you know about Ito Ichijo?" He waved his hand to show that he knew. Conrad first looked around, and then asked in a low voice.

"Ito, what's wrong with him?" Thrawn and Gudrun looked at each other, and there was a glint in their eyes.

"There's a big problem. He just killed six strong men in an instant, and I didn't even see how he did it." Duke Conrad said with a frown.

There are indeed many superheroes and super criminals in the world of American comics. No matter who they are, it is extremely easy to kill several people with a wave of their hands. Not to mention the director of the Family Planning Commission who can destroy half the universe with a snap of his fingers, even if he is the lowest-ranking director. Bullseye, the elite monster in the newcomer village, also has that strength.

But even though Bullseye is a character who is beaten up by various heroes in movies and TV shows, he is also a real super criminal, a master with super powers, the kind of existence that dozens of people can never get close to.

Even if his current status is indeed very noble, if a super expert is used as a driver, even the President of the United States or the Queen of England will not be able to enjoy such treatment.

"Did anyone else see it?" Thrawn asked first, then seemed to think of something.

"Probably not. Ito probably wouldn't make such a stupid mistake."

"You know." Listening to the butler talking to himself, Conrad realized that his butler had already known about Ito Ichijo's abilities.

"Yes, Ito is the driver responsible for taking care of your safety. Of course I know his abilities." Thrawn gave a rare shrug.

"Why, why don't I know anything about it?" The Duke felt a little confused. There was always a master beside him, and this master had been working as a driver at home for more than ten years. It was really hard for people to react for a while.

Although I didn't see the situation when Ito took action, according to the statistics compiled by the boring netizens in the past, six strong men could be killed in an instant without any sound, and the opponent was probably a third-level master.

To use the simplest analogy, even the original Hawkeye and Black Widow in the Avengers are only second-level masters and have not yet reached the third level.

Level three masters have basically surpassed the limits of the human body, which is the level of Captain America or Asgard elite warriors. Although they are still far behind level four Iron Man and Thor, no matter where they are placed, they are absolutely He can be regarded as a local emperor.

"This, Your Majesty the Duke, you have never asked." Thrawn smiled awkwardly, and the mechanical jaw made a clicking sound. It sounded a bit creepy in the middle of the night.

Well, that's a very strong reason

After all, Conrad in the past would never have thought that his driver turned out to be a peerless expert, so of course he would not ask.

"Is there anything else you're hiding from me?" Conrad shook his head and asked, staring at the butler in front of him.

"Well, there is indeed something else." Thrawn scratched his head in embarrassment.

"Thrawn" Gudron suddenly glared at Thrawn, as if blaming him for not saying that.

"Why, even Gudrun, you are hiding something from me?" Looking at the expression on the head maid's face, Conrad felt that his life suddenly became dark.

The two people he trusted the most were hiding something from him, which was really unacceptable.

"Gudrun, we will tell the Duke in at most two years anyway." Thrawn turned his head and said to Gudrun.

"But Thrawn, Conrad is still a child." Gudrun looked at the little boy he raised fondly, and said reluctantly.

If possible, she really didn't want to tell the other person the real situation, it would be great to just let him live happily like this.

"He is no longer a child. Besides, he has the most noble bloodline in the world. He has the ability and the responsibility to shoulder it." Thrawn had a rare quarrel with Gudrun, not caring about his own image at all.

Conrad looked at the butler and head maid arguing in front of him, and felt that one was bigger than the other.

It's been less than twenty-four hours since I traveled through time. Why does it feel like I've fallen into a trap?

First, he met the bald Charles in the morning, and then he was dragged by Osborne to experience the corrupt life at night. As a result, before he could live the corrupt life, he discovered that there seemed to be some big secret buried in his mansion.

God, I just want to live quietly for the rest of my life, being a salty fish who hugs men and bullies women. Why are you so full of déjà vu as the protagonist?

He doesn't want to be like those protagonists, struggling to save the world every day.

The quarrel between the butler and the head maid finally ended with Gudron's failure. After all, Thrawn was so rigid that even eight horses couldn't pull him back if it was something he believed in.

"Your Majesty Duke, please come with me," Thrawn said to Conrad, who was still wandering.

Conrad, who was full of curiosity, followed Thrawn toward the basement, and Gudrun took the opportunity to walk up to him.

"Conrad, are you sure you really want to go? In fact, I think there are some things that it would be better for you not to know."

The head maid held his arm with some distress. That responsibility was too heavy for a boy who was only fifteen years old.

It's a pity that she can't make the decision. The reason why she chose Thrawn as the person in charge back then was because everyone knew that that guy's loyalty would be 100% without any problems. His nerves were stronger than steel. It also requires tenacity.

"I want to know everything about the matter. I don't want to live in a muddle." Conrad patted Gudrun's jade back and said lightly.

He is really curious now, what kind of secrets are hidden in his home?

Could it be that he is an alien or an alien?

Considering the strange nature of this world, Conrad feels that even if he is really a Kree or a Kryptonian, it doesn't seem to be a big deal.
