Chapter 2138: Chapter 2138: Do I Need to Explain?

When he tried to get up and rush out of the door again, he saw several tall figures approaching him outside the study, and they closed the study door directly.

"You... you dare to lay a hand on me, my master will not let this go... ugh!"

Before he could finish his words, he saw his own throat being gripped by a hand, and he could no longer utter a sound, only able to stare at the black-clothed person in front of him.

"Master, how should this man be dealt with?" The black-clothed person looked up at Prince Niu.

"Kill him, and throw his body into the demon mountain range," Prince Niu ordered coldly.

Suddenly, the butler Luo’s eyes widened with terror, and he shook his head with difficulty at Prince Niu, his gaze filled with the fear of not wanting to die.

But even so, his fate had already been sealed.

The black-clothed person tightened his grip and strangled him to death, then flung him out of the study with a single toss of the hand.

"Master, Butler Luo is dead, about that matter..." he looked at his own master and asked.

After all, Butler Luo was a man sent by those people; his unexplained death would be hard to justify.

Even if that person wouldn’t come forward openly to question the master, he only needed to make some insinuations behind the scenes, and plenty of pitfalls would await the master’s next steps, already dug out in anticipation.

"How should we respond? That person will surely come to you for an explanation, right?" he asked.

"Do we need to explain ourselves for a couple of missing people in a large royal mansion?"

Prince Niu didn’t take the matter seriously at all, merely scoffing.

Explain?

After all, putting the man by his side was never a matter that could be handled openly. Now that the man is dead, all he needed to do was to pretend as if he knew nothing.

How could it be that someone insignificant died in his Prince Niu’s Mansion and that person would demand an explanation?

"That is true."

Hearing what his master said, the black-clothed person pondered deeply for a moment and echoed in agreement.

It wasn’t just one or two people that they had secretly disposed of in Prince Niu’s Mansion, there had been many.

"This Butler Luo has done no small number of dastardly deeds outside; it’s entirely possible that someone looking for revenge could have had him killed."

Although Butler Luo was a person sent by that person, he always acted as if he was superior, causing trouble not just inside Prince Niu’s Mansion but outside as well, daring to commit all sorts of reprehensible acts.

Now that he was dead, it could easily be explained away as the work of an avenger, his body left mangled.

"Make sure the body is dealt with cleanly," Prince Niu instructed.

"Yes, master."

They only needed to watch as the demons devoured the corpse clean in the demon forest; what need was there to deal with it further?

As he acknowledged the command, he turned and left to take care of Butler Luo’s body. Soon, another black-clothed person flashed into the room.

"Master, I’ve found many impure crystals and a lot of magical equipment in Butler Luo’s residence, all likely plundered from afar. How should we dispose of them?"

"Sell them," Prince Niu said straightforwardly.

"By the way, the mansion has sent out so many at once; the princess consort must have made quite a profit, no? Hmm"

Black-clothed person: "..."

Master, Prince, the lord of the formidable Prince Niu’s Mansion, would you really care about such a trivial amount of money?

He raised his head, full of confusion, looking at his master.
