Infiltration

Louis Estate is very remote, and it's hard to imagine why their ancestors would choose to build an estate in such a remote suburb.

Several Guard carrying Rifle stood at the entrance of the manor; they were probably the Louis Family's private Guard. But looking through the manor gate, one could sense the oppressive atmosphere inside.

Yago stealthily crept to a blind spot in the manor, looked around to make sure no one had noticed, then leaped up the wall and easily infiltrated Louis Estate.

Meanwhile, the guests in another carriage arrived at Louis Estate. The Guard at the gate immediately became serious upon learning the identity of the person in the carriage. Guests of the Tybur family could not be neglected.

A Guard rushed into the manor to report.

Yago, who had infiltrated Louis Estate, was on high alert. With his agile skills, Yago easily bypassed several patrols of Guard within the manor and, after some time Yago, successfully approached the center of the manor.

However, this was quite strange, as apart from the patrolling Guard, there were almost no other people in the vast Louis Estate, not even Maid or servants like those found in other Nobility manors.

The entire manor was gloomy. Yago, hiding in the bushes, looked toward the old villa standing inside the manor.

Ebson should be in there, right? Yago took out a face mask from his Trench Coat pocket, covered half his face, and took advantage of the fact that no one was around to rush straight to the villa and climbed over into it through an open window on the first floor.

As soon as Yago entered the room, he frowned. The room was filled with the pungent Tobacco of tobacco, and the furnishings were very simple: a bed, a chair, a table, and a large wardrobe.

The blankets on the bed were neatly folded, and there were several large boxes of opened cigarettes on the table.

Of course, the most eye-catching thing is the trash can placed by the window. The half-meter-tall can is piled with cigarette butts, so it seems that the owner of this room is a heavy smoker.

Despite his intense discomfort, Yago left the room and began to explore the villa.

Five minutes ago.

Lara Tybur, her eyes calm, entered the Louis Estate accompanied by Guard. Her purpose in coming here was simple: to test Ebson Louis's attitude. The person who could create Artificial Titan was truly terrifying.

The Tybur family cannot tolerate such an unstable element. If they sense even the slightest hint of disloyalty from Ebson Louis Lara Tybur will immediately step in to remove this unstable element from Tybur's side, and also from the Marley.

Lara Tybur disliked the gloomy and oppressive atmosphere of Louis Estate; in contrast, the Tybur family estate seemed so warm and harmonious.

Lara Deba had accompanied her brother Willie Deba to meet Ebson Lewis the last time, though she was acting as his maid. She clearly remembered the thin, gloomy-looking man smiling and telling Willie that he could create new intelligent giants.

"Our Louis Family is an old Nobility in Marley. Of course, I will use this important technology to help our homeland. However... I also want to receive a small reward... After all, the Titan Power is the foundation of Marley's nation."

For the Tybur family, Ebson's words carried a threatening connotation, but because the Artificial Titan was too shocking, Willy suggested that they observe the results before making a decision.

So the Flying Claw Titan and the Sea-Swimming Titan appeared, which made the Tybur family completely nervous.

"Your name is Miss Lara? Let me introduce myself. I am the butler of Louis Estate. You can call me Bill." Standing before Lara was Bill, dressed in a black butler's uniform. The smell of Tobacco emanating from Bill made Lara frown in displeasure, but out of courtesy, Lara still gave Bill a slight bow.

Standing at the villa entrance, Bill extended his right hand, gesturing for the others to enter.

Let's go back to the present.

Yago tiptoed around the villa, and as expected, there were no Maid or servants inside. The entire villa was as quiet as a haunted house.

In order to find Ebson, Yago searched room by room and finally came to the second floor. Just as Yago was about to continue searching, a sound of footsteps interrupted his plan. Yago quickly hid in the shadows around the corner.

In Yago's sight, a burly man led a woman upstairs. The man said, "What bad luck! Our Lord Ebson left the manor the day before yesterday to inspect the branch office in the Aude Province."

Upon hearing this, Yago's heart skipped a beat. Ebson wasn't there?

The man and woman passed by around the corner. "Master was unaware of Miss Lara's visit; otherwise, he would have postponed his trip. I will report to Master upon Master return. However, since she is a guest, I will go and instruct people to prepare for Miss Lara's arrival."

Bill said this, but as he rounded the corner, his nose twitched almost imperceptibly.

Upon hearing that Ebson was not at the manor, Lara Tybur and Yago was hiding in the shadows, both considered leaving. After all, their goal was Ebson, and since Ebson wasn't there, there was no need to stay any longer.

Lara Tybur also took her leave.

Bill sneered and said, "That's a real shame." Before he finished speaking, to Lara Tybur's astonishment, Bill swiftly pulled a pistol from his waist and decisively pulled the trigger at the corner of the stairs.

He fired continuously until the magazine was empty, the muzzle still emitting a faint wisp of smoke Lara Tybur stared wide-eyed, bewildered by what had happened.

Bill said coldly, "You little thief, are you out of your mind, running wild at Louis Estate? And you even dared to go into my room? What, are you interested in my cigarettes?"

Yago clutched his arm, feeling a dampness in his hand. His arm had been hit by a bullet, and blood was flowing freely. But the Titan Power quickly began to repair Yago's body. However, Yago's heart sank; he had been discovered.

The room that Yago initially entered appeared to be this person's room. When he left that room, he inevitably picked up a trace of smoke, which was why Yago was exposed.

Bill pulled the trigger of the empty magazine, inserted a new one, and, completely ignoring Lara Tybur beside him, headed straight for the corner.

The leather shoes creaked on the wooden floor, and as Yago heard the approaching footsteps, a sharp glint flashed in his eyes.
