Chapter 421: Naive Encounter

“Hello, my name is Evelyn,” she said with a smile, nodding at the handsome young man in white.

He looked very attractive, had just helped her, and wore white clothing like her teacher, which made Evelyn feel quite fond of him.

As for the Layton family he mentioned, she had never heard of it.

“Miss Evelyn, are you alone? Did your family not come with you?” the handsome young man asked with a smile, giving off an air of a true gentleman.

However, his calculating eyes seemed as if they could see right through Evelyn, though her disguise was very good, and he did not notice it.

“My teacher sent me out to experience the world, so I came alone,” Evelyn nodded and replied.

“Your teacher?” the handsome young man exclaimed with surprise.

“Yes, what’s wrong?” Evelyn asked, puzzled.

Hearing this, he smiled and asked, “Then your teacher must be quite powerful, perhaps a divine magic tutor?”

Evelyn thought for a moment and shook her head.

Her teacher was much stronger than a holy magic tutor.

“A great magic tutor?”

“No, that’s not it,” Evelyn continued shaking her head.

“An ordinary magic tutor?”

Evelyn shook her head again.

“A great magician?”

“Not that either.”

“A high-level magician?”

“Not that either! Why are you so curious about my teacher’s cultivation level?” Evelyn frowned a little.

She found this person quite strange, persistently asking about her teacher’s level.

However, upon hearing that her teacher was neither a high-level magician nor a holy magic tutor, the handsome young man smiled.

If she wasn’t even the student of a high-level magician, then this girl before him was surely not from a wealthy and powerful background.

As the young master of the Layton family, he had heard of every young master and miss in Silver Moon City.

This beautiful girl, whom he had never heard about in the city, must belong to a small family or be the daughter of a nouveau riche.

It should be quite fun to take such an inexperienced young girl and entertain her for a while.

While thinking this, the handsome young man’s expression changed to one of concern.

“Miss Evelyn, do you know that you were just tricked?”

“Ah? I was tricked? By whom?” Evelyn exclaimed in surprise.

She had not felt deceived at all.

Seeing Evelyn’s naive expression, Hislop quickly said, “Those people who asked you to buy things earlier were all trying to trick you.”

“Ah? They tricked me?”

“Do you know how much the magic crystal you took out is worth?”

“Ah? Is it worth a lot? I didn’t know, it was given to me by my teacher.”

“Did your teacher give you many magic crystals?” Hislop asked with a look of surprise.

“Yes,” Evelyn nodded. “A big pile. It’s so tall, about the height of a person.”

As she spoke, Evelyn gestured, indicating the height.

Seeing her gesture, Hislop’s eyes brightened instantly.

How many magic crystals could that be? If he could trick them back, he would get rich.

“Miss Evelyn, it’s your first time out, right? You need to be careful, there are many bad people outside.”

Hearing this, Evelyn smiled and thanked him, “Thank you! You’re really nice.”

“Miss Evelyn, since it’s your first time in Silver Moon City, you might not know where is fun. How about I take you around? I know where there is delicious food and fun things to do,” Hislop quickly suggested to Evelyn.

“Um, is it not too much trouble for you?”

“It’s no trouble at all, I have plenty of time.”

“Then thank you very much!”

…

Not far away, in a tea house, Karleir noticed Evelyn leaving with the handsome young man in white and shook his head.

That handsome young man clearly had bad intentions.

If it weren’t for his elder forbidding him from interfering in Evelyn’s matters, he would have already knocked him out.

What Layton family? In front of him, they were just small characters he could easily crush.

The day passed quickly.

Evelyn felt especially happy today.

She met many people, and later got to know Hislop, who took her to many fun places and treated her to a lot of delicious food.

In the end, he even invited her to visit his home.

Evelyn thought Hislop was really a good person, just a tiny bit less than her teacher, mother, and great-grandfather.

“Hislop, why didn’t I see your father, mother, great-grandfather, or teacher?”

Evelyn followed Hislop to a manor and saw only a few servants inside, so she curiously asked.

“Ah? My parents went out to visit relatives, so now I’m the only one at home,” Hislop said with a smile to Evelyn.

Inside, he thought to himself, is Evelyn really this naive? Does she think her family only consists of her parents, great-grandfather, and teacher?

“Evelyn, is your great-grandfather an elder in your family?”

“Yes, my great-grandfather treats me very well, he gives me all the delicious food. And my mother is as good to me as my great-grandfather…”

While they were talking, the manor’s servant brought in two cups of drinks.

“Evelyn, this is milk tea prepared by my servants, why don’t you give it a try?” Hislop said as he handed a cup of milk tea to Evelyn.

Hearing this, Evelyn nodded.

“Here you go, Brother Hislop.” Evelyn took the milk tea and immediately took a sip.

As soon as she swallowed it, her eyes lit up.

“It’s delicious,” Evelyn nodded in praise.

“If you think it’s good, then finish it,” Hislop smiled and nodded.

However, as he watched Evelyn slowly drink the milk tea, the smile at the corners of his mouth deepened.

“Evelyn, let me show you around my home.”

“Sure!”

Evelyn nodded in agreement.

Soon, Hislop led Evelyn on a tour of the manor.

However, as time passed, his brows began to furrow.

“Why hasn’t she fainted yet? Could it be that the drug wasn’t effective?” Hislop wondered.

“Evelyn, wait here while I go to the restroom.”

Quickly, Hislop found a servant in the manor.

“Sir, we are administering the drug; Lisa saw me do it herself.”

“You administered the drug, so why is Evelyn still fine?”

“Sir, could it be that Evelyn is a magician, and ordinary drugs don’t work on her?”

Hearing this, Hislop thought for a moment and found it made sense.

So he took out a bottle and commanded, “Make another cup of milk tea, and put this in it for Evelyn to drink.”

“Understood, sir,” the servant quickly nodded.

Once Hislop left, the two servants hurried to prepare the milk tea.

They had grown accustomed to such situations.

Their young master often brought women back to the manor, and they would administer drugs to them.

No matter how much any woman he had been with complained afterward, they would end up submissively obeying their young master.

Over the years, he had never failed once.

Even if some girls brought in through trickery reacted in outrage, they ultimately turned into people who loved him fiercely and would even compete with his other women out of jealousy.
