The next morning, it was not Xie Qi who was woken up.
Lucas rubbed his temples vigorously with his hands, his amber eyes were deep.
"Sebastian."
His voice was not loud, but the silver-haired butler who had been waiting outside the door immediately opened the door and bowed to Lucas.
"What happened outside?"
His voice was hoarse, revealing the displeasure of being disturbed in his sleep.
Sebastian hesitated for a moment, and the wrinkles on his face tightened, but he still told Lucas the truth: "It's the young lady. I don't know why she was released again. Now the servants are preparing to take her back."
"Cassandra? Who has the key to the cellar?"
"Yesterday I gave the key to Canibari and asked him to lock the young lady back. It should still be with him now."
Hearing this, Lucas sneered: "Oh, so it was he who released Cassandra. Really, we can't indulge him like this anymore."
Knowing that Lucas wanted to go out, Sebastian stepped forward to help him dress and wash. When the two of them went out and stood on the stairs of the villa, they saw Cassandra surrounded by a group of servants at this time. Although she looked like she wanted to bite someone, she didn't bite the servants. She just moved left and right in disgust, wanting to leave here.
Lucas wanted to ask where Canibari was, but he heard the iconic voice of his chef from behind the stairs.
Xie Qi appeared in front of Lucas and Sebastian slowly, followed by Anne and the other two.
He looked in a good mood, wearing a white chef's uniform, as if he was about to start cooking at any time.
"Carney, can you explain to me what's going on?"
Lucas spoke first, his cold eyes swept over Annie and others, and then fell on Xie Qi.
"Master!"
Seeing Lucas appear, Xie Qi's eyes lit up and his voice suddenly rose, as if he had found something interesting and wanted to share it with the master.
But before he could say anything, Annie behind him suddenly passed him and stepped forward to look at Lucas.
"Mrs. Custer, I wanted to meet you, so I resorted to this desperate measure."
"Oh? The desperate measure you mentioned is to bring my sister out?"
Lucas' voice was soft, and it was hard to tell whether he was angry or not.
"Sister?" Song Nan repeated in a low voice behind Xie Qi, as if he finally realized the identity of this monster.
Anne also thought of something, and looked at Lucas with complicated eyes and said, "Yes, only in this way will you come out to meet us. I have a deal to discuss with you."
Hearing Anne's request, Lucas just smiled faintly, his eyes still on Xie Qi.
"Did you agree to this, Carney?"
Hearing her name, Xie Qi tilted his head with a smile: "Well, I think it's interesting, or you can listen to what she has to say first?"
Seeing that Mrs. Custer ignored her, Anne continued to actively draw attention back.
"Madam, you may not know that this Phil Chris is the youngest son of the Chris family of M country. The Chris family is also aristocratic in Y country. I guess you have heard of it, right?"
Annie first brought up Phil's identity, so that Lucas's eyes finally turned to her.
"If his disappearance is known to the Chris family, they will definitely send people to look for him soon. If they find out that the last place he disappeared was here..."
Annie didn't say the rest of the words. Some things need to be stopped, otherwise it will make people feel threatened if they are too clear.
Even if that was her original intention.
Lucas narrowed his eyes, turned around Phil's body for a few circles, raised the corner of his lips, and asked casually:
"What do you want to tell me? If it was just him, I could let him go."
"Really? But if I die here, Phil will not let you go."
Anne smiled, and Phil also raised his head from behind Xie Qi, staring at Lucas sharply.
"Oh? It seems that you are sure that I will not be an enemy of the Chris family."
Lucas' voice suddenly became low, no longer the neutral female voice, and a male voice could be vaguely felt.
Realizing that the other party was a lunatic, verbal threats alone might not work.
Anne tightened her hands behind her back, steadied herself, and continued the topic she had just raised.
"I don't want to threaten you. I've said before that I want to make a deal with you. That is, play a game with us. If we win, you let us go. We promise not to reveal the situation here to the outside world. If you win in the end--"
Annie raised her hand to roll up her black hair, revealing a face that seemed weak but was more ruthless than anyone else.
"We will let you do whatever you want."
After the voice fell, the villa was silent, except for KaSandra occasionally roared in anger, and the others, including the servants, held their breath and waited for Lucas's decision.
Xie Qi kept smiling, like a bystander, and said nothing.
Sebastian, who was standing next to Lucas, was going to go downstairs and take the three people back, but was stopped by his master.
He had long golden hair tied behind his head. Just looking at his appearance, anyone would think he was an elegant and beautiful young woman.
Lucas did not get angry. After lowering his eyelids and thinking for a while, he first glanced at Xie Qi calmly, and then agreed.
"Okay, then what game do you want to play with me?"
Sebastian didn't know why his master agreed to this condition. Not to mention whether the Chris family could find this place, even if they did, these people would have disappeared here long ago, and their bodies would be gone.
If they let them go, who knows if they would regret it and bring people to find them?
It would be better to take them down directly to avoid so many variables.
But he couldn't guess what Lucas was thinking, so he had to wait silently.
Seeing that the owner of the villa agreed to her conditions, Anne couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
The first step has been taken, and the next step is the key to their fate.
"I wonder if you have heard of a voting method that was popular in the last century, called beauty voting."
Annie spoke up and proposed a term that no one present was familiar with.
"The so-called beauty voting is that the judges vote for the most beautiful person among the candidate women. After the results are announced, those who vote for the winner can also get rewards."
"Let's follow the example of our ancestors this time and choose the most beautiful one among our group of people?"
[……]
[I don't quite understand, how did things develop like this? ]
[Yes, the chef is betraying? Damn, it's all my fault that I was seduced by Mrs. Custer and couldn't even keep up with the plot! ]
[Seduction... Do you know he is a man? Or you...]
[Isn't the most beautiful one Mrs. Custer? Do we need to choose?]
[But the chef is also beautiful (blushing)]
[Big guts! The chef is so handsome!]
[Handsome and beautiful, is there a problem? (picking nose)]
After listening to Anne's proposal, Lucas narrowed his eyes slightly, a little confused about her approach.
But he would not go back on his word.
"But there are few women here, less than five in total, how do you want to choose?"
"Who said that beauties must be limited to women?"
Annie smiled faintly, pointed to Xie Qi and said, "Handsome men like Chef Carney can also participate."
