Just as the group finished their conversation, the last job applicant, the young man Traveler and Paimon first met who had studied at Sumeru Akademiya, entered.
The young man subconsciously glanced at Traveler and Paimon sitting in the corner, his expression momentarily flustered, clearly mistaking them for circulating examiners.
However, this flustered expression did not last long; he quickly calmed down.
After all, he hadn't said anything rude when he first spoke to Traveler and Paimon, so there was naturally nothing to fear.
After composing himself, the bespectacled young man took a deep breath and then spoke:
"Lord Yuto, hello, my name is Noclan Edward, I am—"
Before Edward could finish introducing his academic qualifications and achievements, Yuto waved his hand slightly, interrupting him.
"I've read your resume many times, and overall, it's excellent. However… could you let me see the ancient text survey report about the Lemuria Dynasty that you mentioned in your resume?"
Yuto smiled as he looked at Edward, asking softly.
Edward nodded quickly upon hearing this, then began to quickly search through the stack of documents he carried.
Before long, a pre-bound document was placed on Yuto's desk by Edward.
"Lord Yuto, please take a look."
Edward said, bowing slightly, as if showing respect to Yuto, or perhaps… preparing for an attack.
Traveler, having been through many battles, naturally noticed this. Her golden eyes vigilantly watched Edward not far away,
as if she would immediately draw her sword if he made any sudden moves.
Almost at the moment she was ready to draw her sword, Edward suddenly erupted, and a burst of elemental fluctuations filled with foul aura instantly exploded from him.
Boom—
Violent Pyro energy instantly covered the entire office, as if to burn everything to ashes.
Not only that, a huge fireball abruptly appeared above Yuto's head, as if to make him experience the pain of being consumed by flames.
"Yuto! Return the honor of the Noclan Family, return the wealth of the Noclan Family!"
Yuto, seeing this, remained calmly seated in his chair, not showing the slightest hint of panic on his face, but instead, a look of disdain.
He gently raised his hand, and a flash of lightning shot out from it, swiftly attacking Edward's waist.
Bang—
A crisp sound echoed in the office, and the source of the strange elemental power on Edward's body was instantly shattered by Yuto,
just as Yuto had shattered Tartaglia's Evil Eye in the Opera House earlier.
With the shattering of the Evil Eye, the violent Pyro energy seemed to lose its core—
—both the flames on the carpet and the fireball gathered above Yuto's head naturally dissipated.
By the time Traveler reacted, Yuto had already completely pinned Edward to the floor.
His knee pressed firmly against his cervical spine, then he delivered a hand chop to the back of his neck.
Bang—
Under the backlash caused by the shattering of the Evil Eye, Edward's head hit the floor heavily, as if… he were dead.
After doing all this, Yuto slowly stood up, gently clapped his hands, and a sneer appeared on his face.
"Noclan Family…? What honor is there for a bunch of bloody old nobles who only know how to exploit others and don't know how to labor themselves?"
"Evil Eye… Fatui…? Heh, you have quite the guts~"
Yuto's expression grew increasingly stern, as if he already knew how to deal with these guys.
Hearing Yuto's voice, Paimon opened her eyes with some lingering fear, then asked somewhat tremblingly:
"W-what happened?"
Yuto glanced at Paimon, took a deep breath, calmed himself, and then said:
"Nothing much, it's just… some people are blind, thinking that since The Prophecy disaster just passed and Palais Mermonia is severely weakened, they want to take back what doesn't belong to them."
With that, Yuto said to Traveler beside him:
"Please escort him to Meropide. I will also head to Meropide after I finish tidying up a bit."
"Then… I will bring the two witnesses to demand an explanation."
Yuto said, a cold smile appearing at the corner of his mouth, as if he could already envision how to deal with those old noble remnants who were playing tricks.
Hearing this, Traveler and Paimon nodded repeatedly, then, along with Sedna who had just arrived and other Palais Mermonia guards, escorted the man to Meropide.
After they left, Yuto stood by the window of his office, watching the gradually setting sun outside, a faint smile appearing on his lips.
"Slinging mud? I can do that too… If you don't want to restrain your behavior… then prepare to face your own destruction."
"I'm just using the methods you used on me, on yourselves. I think…"
"You shouldn't be angry, right?"
