Chapter 1017 - 1026: William Runs Into Trouble (Part 2)
Chapter 1017: Chapter 1026: William Runs Into Trouble (Part 2)
To be honest, after seeing the attitude of Avril’s two family elders towards her, he felt uneasy about Avril, worried that she might encounter danger.
However, with William around, he was relatively assured. Besides, in his perspective, William was close to breaking through to the Innate level.
Once he breaks through to the Innate level, Avril would hardly be in any danger.
But now seeing Avril without William beside her, he couldn’t help but furrow his brows and instinctively asked, "Where’s William?"
Avril did not notice Lin Xi’s change in expression and replied, "That’s exactly why I came to find you!"
After chatting for a while, Lin Xi’s forehead relaxed.
It seemed the Butte Clan hadn’t undergone a major upheaval; he was just overthinking it.
The reason William wasn’t with Avril was because he was undergoing a breakthrough and had hit a roadblock.
This was also the reason Avril sought him out.
Because aside from Lin Xi, no one in the family had any solutions.
They believed that breaking through to the Innate realm was something outsiders couldn’t help with; it had to be achieved solely through one’s own efforts.
Once successful, it was akin to breaking out of a cocoon and being reborn, setting them apart from mortals.
Fail to breakthrough, and it would most likely lead to death and eradication, even worse than a mortal’s fate.
That’s why Avril sought out Lin Xi, hoping he could come up with a solution.
In her heart, even though Lin Xi was a complete scoundrel, one undeniable fact was that he was very powerful.
"Alright, I’ll go with you!" Lin Xi nodded.
The next moment, the trio got into the car and left for the Butte Clan, one of the top families in the United Kingdom.
He didn’t have much interest in this.
So what if it’s the top family?
He’s a man worth more than tens of billions, and he has liquid assets, too!
"Wait!" Lin Xi called out as the car passed a small department store.
Avril frowned, "What’s the matter?"
Knowing that William was facing life-threatening danger, she didn’t want to waste a moment on the road, eager to return home immediately.
After all, she held feelings for William, the kind of sisterly affection towards a brother.
Lin Xi didn’t respond to her, he got off the car directly.
Soon, he returned to the car from the department store, and Avril saw him holding a bag of balloons.
Balloons?
Avril, "...."
At that moment, she felt like swearing. If she weren’t asking for Lin Xi’s help, she would’ve already cursed.
"Why did you buy this?" She took a deep breath, trying her best to control her anger.
Lin Xi replied, "It’s useful!"
However, he also noticed Avril’s expression and knew she was worried about William, so he comforted her, "Don’t worry, I think William isn’t someone who will have a short life."
"Oh, even if it’s short-lived and he accidentally dies, it’s fine!"
"You can just stay with me after that; there’s nothing good in London anyway!"
Avril, "...."
She felt she shouldn’t have asked Lin Xi, it was just setting herself up for discomfort.
Lin Xi didn’t mind her anymore; he took out a balloon from the bag and started blowing it up.
After about ten seconds, the balloon had grown to the size of a human head.
Avril turned her head, completely disregarding him.
As for the middle-aged man driving, he was a bit curious about Lin Xi and why the young miss tolerated him so much.
"Hmm?"
He was puzzled, making a sound of surprise.
Because he noticed that the balloon in Lin Xi’s hand suddenly vanished.
"Magic trick?"
He was also someone with peak Innate-level strength; to him, most magic tricks were mere jokes.
Now, he was stunned.
Lin Xi didn’t respond to him, closing his eyes and focusing on entering the Jade Pendant Space.
The giant bear felt very happy seeing Lin Xi arrive.
At the same time, it was very curious about the balloon in Lin Xi’s hand.
Of course, the balloon in Lin Xi’s hand was indeed meant for the bear.
However, he couldn’t give it directly now.
Otherwise, it would instantly burst when it got hold of it.
He thought for a moment and placed the balloon on the ground, pointing at it and telling the bear that it should grasp the balloon from the ground without popping it, and he would let it go out to play.
"Bang!"
The next moment, the balloon exploded.
Yes, at the moment the bear’s hand touched it, even before it started grasping.
Bear, "...."
Lin Xi could see the embarrassed expression on its face.
Alright, after instructing the bear, Lin Xi, who was seated, opened his eyes.
The middle-aged driver again saw Lin Xi take out another balloon and start blowing it up.
Then, he once again saw the balloon disappear from Lin Xi’s hand!
Gone?
Where did it go?
The middle-aged man was somewhat confused.
One vanished, he could assume it was swiftly hidden, but two?
Balloons weren’t small, and the car made it difficult to hide two.
Next, he watched Lin Xi constantly blow up balloons.
The whole bag of balloons, probably over a hundred or so, was blown up by him in less than ten minutes.
However, the balloons had all vanished.
Middle-aged man, "...."
If this person wasn’t invited by the young miss, he would doubt whether this person was human or if he had encountered a ghost.
Through all this, Avril was turned to the other side, completely unaware of Lin Xi’s actions, so she didn’t know what had just happened.
An hour later, the car stopped outside a castle.
This castle covered a large area, estimated to be at least a thousand acres.
Having such a substantial piece of land in London undoubtedly demonstrated the wealth of the Butte Clan.
Inside the castle, Avril led Lin Xi for about ten minutes and finally stopped outside a quieter standalone villa.
At this time, there were seven or eight people standing outside the villa.
Among them, two were familiar to Lin Xi; they were the two Avril family elders who had entered the Holy Land.
Upon seeing Lin Xi, their expressions slightly changed, but they didn’t say anything, pretending not to know him.
"Avril, is this the Eastern expert you invited?" A man in his fifties walked over and asked Avril.
Avril nodded, "Yes, dad, this is the person I mentioned."
The middle-aged man, named Kade, was Avril’s father and the current leader of the Butte Clan.
He managed secular matters, and his authority was only second to the family’s Innate powerhouses.
Kade was somewhat skeptical of Lin Xi at this moment, but he knew his daughter wouldn’t lie, nor did she have a reason to lie at this moment unless she plotted against William.
However, she had such a good relationship with William, making this impossible.
"Is this person really that powerful? But he’s so young!" He thought inwardly, while constantly smiling at Lin Xi, "Welcome, Mr. Lin. If you’re able to help solve William’s problem, our Butte Clan will owe you a big favor."
At the same time, he noticed the expressions of the family’s two elders; they didn’t look good, and it was apparent they were deeply wary of the young man beside his daughter.
To Lin Xi, favors were unnecessary.
Besides, he was heading back to his home country this afternoon; a favor from someone in the United Kingdom was even less useful.
Better to give money instead, straightforward!
Hmm, not practical!
But he wasn’t the kind to be so needy as to ask for money; doing so would lower his dignity and undermine his prestige.
"Sigh!" He quietly sighed.
Still, he replied to Kade, "Alright, I’ll take a look!"
