chapter 12 This threat is ridiculous ===

A figure in white descended from the roof of the Mu family. Sensing the concealed formidable aura of this person, Olivia Mu quietly stood by Serena Mu's side.
The Grand Elder angrily asked, "Who are you? How dare you trespass into my Mu family? What crime should you be held accountable for?"
"Subdue this old trespasser in the Mu family!" The several elders of the Mu family shouted. However, when Ethan Xuanyuan saw the appearance of this person clearly, his face changed drastically, and he roared, "Shut up, all of you! You want to die, but I don't want to die with you."
Ethan Xuanyuan's outburst even startled Lily Mu, who was beside him. Serena Mu looked at the person. He was an ordinary-looking old man, but she recognized him. Not long ago, she had seen him. He was the White Butler of Ashura mansion.
With the arrival of the White Butler, could that ice block... Serena Mu glanced at the roof of her house but didn't spot the man she dreaded.
Ethan Xuanyuan cautiously asked, "White Butler, why are you here?"
The crowd was puzzled. Just now, Li Wang had been furious at them for being unreasonable towards this elderly gentleman. They had initially thought this old man was an extraordinary figure with an esteemed identity. They hadn't expected him to be a steward. How could a steward make Li Wang so cautious? Even the emperor's steward wouldn't require such treatment!
Others might not recognize White Butler, but Ethan Xuanyuan did. This White Butler was the only living person in the Xuanyuan Leo Ji Mansion besides him. Since he had entered that mansion once, he never wanted to set foot in there again. Since the last time he almost sent him to hell, he never wanted to see him again.
Ethan Xuanyuan was terrified of Xuanyuan Leo Ji, and just seeing Xuanyuan Leo Ji's steward appear before him almost made him faint.
"This old man and the Master of the Mu family have met once. I heard she had passed away, so I came to pay my respects. I never expected Lord Li would treat me to such a good show." White Butler laughed.
Ethan Xuanyuan's heart was pounding, and he asked in a low voice, "White Butler, have you been here all along?"
Right now, he hoped that White Butler hadn't seen too much.
White Butler nodded and said, "Yes! I arrived when Lord Li and that emerald coffin entered the Mu family."
At this, Ethan Xuanyuan turned pale and murmured, "White Butler, I... after all, I'm the elder brother of the Ninth Prince. Could you..."
Before he could finish pleading, Olivia Mu's voice cut in. "Since this old gentleman has seen everything, can you please tell us what happened today?"
Blind or not, Olivia Mu didn't know how Serena had met this steward and his master, the Night King, but this person was clearly here to help.
White Butler explained in a well-organized manner, leaving everyone, including the Mu family elders and Ethan Xuanyuan, speechless.
Olivia Mu was furious. "Ethan Xuanyuan, who gave you the audacity to lay hands on the family head of my Mu family in my own home? Do you really think that being a prince of the Xuanyuan royal family makes you immune to my actions?"
Even if Olivia Mu killed Ethan Xuanyuan, the emperor of the Purple Moon Kingdom wouldn't be able to do much to Olivia Mu. The title of the strongest in the Purple Moon Kingdom was not just for show.
Ethan Xuanyuan's face turned ashen. At this moment, Serena Mu spoke, "Uncle, don't be angry. Didn't you come out in time to save me? I'm perfectly fine now."
"However, Li Wang, if you want to leave the gates of my Mu family alive today, please abide by the agreement." Serena Mu said coldly.
"Impossible." Ethan Xuanyuan gritted his teeth.
If he were really placed in a coffin and carried out of the Mu family, he feared he would never have a place in the Purple Capital again.
"Since you seek death, then I shall grant your wish." Olivia Mu's words were filled with a chilling intent.
An undercover guard beside Li Wang said, "Your Highness, I'll stop Third Master Mu. You should leave quickly."
"A bunch of lowlifes, can you protect your young master?" Olivia Mu sneered.
"Take action."
Olivia Mu waved his hand, and a few dark-clad figures descended swiftly. In the blink of an eye, they had subdued the guards beside Li Wang.
Li Wang and a few Mu family elders were slightly stunned. These were the shadows trained by the Mu family—impressive!
"Die, or abide by the bet. How do you choose, Li Wang?" Olivia Mu asked softly.
Ethan Xuanyuan felt death creeping towards him, ready to swallow him whole. Trembling all over, he finally said, "Since I've lost, I will certainly honour the agreement. I have always been a man of my word."
"Ha!" Serena Mu couldn't help but laugh. "To say such words now, don't you find it laughable?"
Li Wang's face alternated between green and white. He wanted to find a way out, but this infuriating woman, Serena Mu, wouldn't let him off. "Serena Mu, you've gone too far. I absolutely refuse to acknowledge you as my fiancée. When we return to the royal residence, I will request an imperial decree from Father to annul the engagement. Even if I have to die, I will cancel this ridiculous betrothal."
