Upon realizing it was Xia Jingfeng, the servants all sighed in relief.
"First, capture him, then search everywhere!"
With that, the masked men surrounded him. One of them even took out a rope, planning to tie him up.
Xia Jingfeng raised his stick and bellowed furiously, "Everyone, stop right there!"
"Oh my, Second Young Master, we're just following Madam's orders to collect an item. We'll leave immediately once we find it!" one of them said with ill intent.
The others also closed in, sneering.
"Second Young Master, we're just following orders too. If you have to blame someone, blame Madam! Don't make it hard for us servants!"
"Exactly. Why don't you hand it over now to save everyone the trouble, and you won't have to suffer any pain!"
Xia Jingfeng suddenly laughed, his smile laced with an eerie quality.
"She absolutely must have it?"
The servants were startled for a moment before regaining their composure.
