To ascend, I had no choice but to create games

Chapter 421: Chapter 253 Brothers (Part 1)_3

The pen is mightier than the sword; a knife can only stab one person to death, but an idea can kill thousands.

The Supreme Management Committee would not overlook this issue; they were already at their wits’ end due to the God of Education’s Angel Envoy, and at such a time, stability outweighed everything. They could not afford any disorder.

And the only fate waiting for Drey was death.

“Damn it! Drey, why would you say something like that!”

Aspiring to the rank of a fourth-level noble was out of the question; now was the time to consider how to save Drey.

Summoning the butler, Kevin instructed him to swiftly list out the family’s assets before starting to liquidate them.

The quarry had to be sold, the family’s jewels had to be sold, famous paintings had to be sold, and even the villa had to be sold.

What was more infuriating was that others seemed to have caught wind of the situation as well.

Their offers were embarrassingly low, almost to the point of plundering, but to save his brother, Kevin had no choice but to sell the assets while figuratively spitting blood.

In the end, he even considered selling his noble title, but alas, it was too much of a hassle and not easily sold.

The turmoil at home quickly drew Drey’s attention. When he found Kevin and asked what was happening, Kevin just looked at him and then said coldly, “Get out.”

“Sir Kevin, I believe that since I’m the apprentice butler here, it’s my duty to know and to ease your troubles.”

“I told you to get out! If you really wanted to help me, you shouldn’t have said what you did!”

“Which statement?”

“The one about how the noble class should be discarded! Because of that statement, a fifth-level noble was assassinated, and first-level nobles are secretly investigating the matter, and they’re about to arrive!”

Only then did Drey understand why Kevin was acting this way, and his face was immediately filled with guilt.

Kneeling before Kevin, he said with remorse, “I’m sorry, Sir, I…”

“Don’t apologize to me! I wouldn’t forgive a fool like you! Do you think you’re so popular? The world of the nobility is dirtier than you could ever imagine!”

“I’m sorry, but you don’t have to save me. If you just hand me over…”

At these words, Kevin could no longer hold back.

He kicked hard at Drey’s chest, but the solid chest nearly made him twist his own foot.

Bearing the pain, he grabbed Drey’s collar and roared angrily, “Do not say such things to me! You are my brother, and I have to save you!”

“I… you… brother?”

“You still haven’t realized! Even the laundry girls have more insight than you!”

At that moment, there was a knock at the door, and the butler’s voice came from outside, “Sir, I don’t want to interrupt your touching reunion, but I have to tell you that the investigators from the first-level nobles have arrived.”

“Hmph, that was quick.”

Letting go of him, Kevin wiped the sweat from his forehead and walked towards the door.

Pointing to the safe in the corner where albums were stored, he said to Drey, “Watch that. If I come back, don’t ask anything. If it’s the butler, open it; the password is your name. And give me your butler’s uniform.”

Having changed into the butler’s uniform, Kevin left, calling the butler to join him as they went downstairs.

Drey was still in shock, unable to recover for quite a while.

But after sitting down, he pondered for a long time and realized that Kevin’s attitude had been off from the start.

He silently awaited news, but it wasn’t until midnight that he heard light footsteps.

Just hearing the sound gave Drey a bad feeling.

And when the butler came in and told him “Sir Kevin has been arrested”, he finally covered his face and let out a pained howl.

His brother was gone.
