If Miss Daphne were allowed to remain alone in a room with a strange man, it would be a dereliction of his duty. Besides, this man had fallen into the swimming pool out of nowhere. He found it far too much of a coincidence, and there was nothing on the man to prove his identity. Therefore, he regarded this suddenly appeared man with suspicion.
However, the butler was a man of the world. The man's black clothes looked ordinary, yet were strangely miraculous—they had dried as soon as he left the water, without a single stain clinging to them. This gave him a new direction for his suspicions about the man's identity.
One thing the butler was certain of was that the man before him was from Huaxia. That identity alone meant he could not be allowed to die in Sack Manor. The family doctor had already examined him and confirmed that his injuries were severe. Nearly every bone in his body was broken, and his internal organs had been crushed. The fact that he was alive was already a miracle, so it was crucial to restore his consciousness.
After a night of treatment and care, Xun Kun finally regained consciousness by the following evening. He examined himself with his divine sense and discovered that his injuries were indeed serious. However, a thin tube was delivering some kind of liquid into his Meridians, sustaining his life force.
Xun Kun swept the area with his divine sense and found the surroundings unfamiliar, causing him to frown. He sensed that his divine sense was being suppressed, leaving him with only the detection range of the late stage Golden Core. Even so, it allowed him to confirm that he was currently in a place called Sack Manor, whose owner was a young lady.
