John looked at Jason, who seemed to take it for granted, with a perplexed expression.

The matter-of-fact demeanor of Jason made John subconsciously feel that he might have missed some vital clue, or maybe he hadn’t heard something Jason said earlier.

But after reflecting seriously for a moment, John could not recall missing anything or failing to hear Jason’s words.

After all, the incident had just occurred.

From getting out of the car to entering the underground chamber, and then back to the car, every detail was vividly emerging in his mind.

Watching the befuddled look on John’s face, Jason sighed silently in his heart.

At this moment, he actually began to inexplicably miss those ’Cat Hole’ external operatives.

At least, with a ’Cat Hole’ operative around at such a time, he could easily and directly listen to a ’reasonable explanation’.

"Yesterday, Butler Findelter died," Jason stated.

"Today, the person in the coffin inside this chamber ’awakened’."

"The traces left inside the chamber are very ’fresh’, definitely within a day."

"Who do you say is the person in the coffin?" Jason asked, spreading his hands.

"Findelter!" John blurted out.

Then, a moment of realization flashed across the face of this ’retired individual’ with a most unusual career.

"It’s precisely because of this trump card that Troys easily killed him!"

"It’s also because of Findelter’s involvement that the Edward Family experienced a rapid decline."

"He took advantage of everything the Edward Family had to achieve what he wanted and ’dealt with’ those who sought to hinder him!"

Hearing John’s explanation, Jason shook his head.

"Why couldn’t it be Edward?"

"Why couldn’t all this be a plot orchestrated by Edward?"

"Why do you assume the ’Findelter’ you saw is indeed Findelter and not possibly Edward?" Jason questioned again.

John was momentarily stunned.

This time, without waiting for John to speak, Jason continued, "Don’t forget, Findelter served the Edward Family for nearly thirty years!"

"Thirty years, such a long time, ensures that Findelter could not possibly betray the Edward Family. His loyalty can be verified."

"But what if that was just an act of his?" John retorted.

"Of course, it’s possible!"

"But he was a butler, a butler who graduated from a butler academy, a butler who managed the entire Edward Family!" Jason reminded.

"What does that have to do with anything?" John asked, frowning in confusion.

"Time!"

"He didn’t have the time to learn those mysterious knowledges!"

"Nor the ability to construct the ritual we just witnessed!"

"Believe me, learning those knowledges is far more difficult and time-consuming than you’d think!" Jason provided the answer.

As a possessor of the Proficiency Level in the Dufol Language, Jason was well aware of the difficulty in learning this language. His quick mastery through his ’teacher’s’ notes and ’satiation’ levels didn’t mean others could do the same.

Moreover, the ’ritual’ inside the underground chamber just now was not something that could be deciphered by mere proficiency.

That ’ritual’ required a higher level.

So, a question arose!

Where did Findelter learn such knowledge?

How could a young man from a common family acquire such esoteric knowledge?

Every faction, every power has its own lineage.

This lineage ensures that there are clues to follow.

It also determines the existence of a mentor-student relationship, or perhaps a simple hierarchy.

But up to now, aside from the coffin surrounded by the Two-Headed Snake statue he had just faced, Jason had no actual interaction with such entities.

As for self-learning to proficiency?

A butler by profession, constantly accompanying his master, on call at any moment, accidentally finds a book of mysterious knowledge, and relies on his innate Talent to study it in the few hours he has left each day, achieving proficiency and even surpassing it?

Such Talent isn’t just good.

It’s exceptional!

Extraordinary beyond the average person!

Would someone with such exceptional Talent really stay at one family for thirty years?

Suppose!

Just suppose that Findelter truly had exceptional Talent, but he didn’t care and only wished to stay with the Edward Family.

The biggest contradiction then arises: why would he destroy the Edward Family?

Or rather, why didn’t he prevent it when Edward was bringing down the family?

Findelter, while a butler with extraordinary Strength, if he wanted to stop Edward without hurting him, it shouldn’t be too difficult.

It just doesn’t add up!

Although Findelter was loyal to Edward, keep in mind, he had worked for and served the Edward Family for thirty years!

Thirty years of habits aren’t so easily changed!

Habits are not about intelligence.

In some ways, they are more formidable than anything else. Find exclusive stories on

To maintain this ’habit’, Findelter would definitely do something extraordinary to protect the Edward Family when it faced real destruction.

Even if he didn’t want to harm Edward.

But what about others?

This isn’t about good or evil.

It’s just human nature.

But none of this happened.

The Edward Family fell.

Edward disappeared.

Findelter lost his profession.

However, upon hearing that his former employer was in ’abnormal’ circumstances, the concerned Findelter came in search of his old employer.
