"Master, the dinner is ready." A balding man bowed before Li Qiang.
"Hmmm." He nodded in response and eyed the man's black tailored uniform. The world that he was in was like medieval Europe. From the clothing to the architecture and social structure. The only difference is this world have a magic system. Li Qiang shifted his gaze to his reflection. In front of him was a man wearing a gray suit. His hair was brushed up, changing his previously carefree demeanor into a more stern and appropriate as a man in his late twenties.
"Do you have something to tell me?" he asked the butler named Gregory. Apparently, the previous Li Qiang trusted this man with his life. He trusted this man with everything he even gave him the power to decide in the mansion without informing Li Qiang. An unfathomable gleam flashed in his eyes.
"About the mistresses." Gregory said as he straightened his posture. This made Li Qiang raised an eyebrow. Because Li Qiang was practically useless and only like to live his life to the fullest, his servants act as if he was not their owner. Li Qiang knew that this people only respected him on the outside. The disgust in their gaze was enough proof of that.
"What about them?"
"I would advise you to not transfer them out of the property. It would be…"
"I am tired of them. I no longer require their services." He eyed the butler and scoff inwardly. The only reason this man is still alive was because Li Qiang still have uses for him.
"Some of the misses are daughters of noble family. Leaving them like this is—"
"If you like them so much… then you can have them."
"I wouldn't dare." Art shook his head as if he just heard the scariest thing in his life. "I wouldn't dare do that. Master please… Those people are nobles, we cannot insult them like this."
"Are you saying that those nobles are more important than someone from the Royal bloodline? Are they more important than the Royal Family?" The previous Li Qiang had been using this reasoning every time he would argue with someone. This arrogance is what made people hate him. Not that he cared. Seeing Gregory swallow a non-existent saliva, Li Qiang continued.
"I thought so… Throw them away." He said and turned towards the butler. He didn't know how the previous Li Qiang could stand such a servant. Maybe it was because this man gave Li Qiang everything that he wanted, including women and alcohol. The thought of touching all those women immediately made Li Qiang furious.
Those women — they won't survive for long.
"As you wish." Gregory said, a tinge of fury laced his voice. While a normal person would not sense this, Li Qiang was train to spot the emotions of people just by the way they speak.
"Then go ahead and wait for me outside of my quarter." He ordered and did not miss the confusion in his Butler's eyes. However, the latter complied without saying another word. After making sure that the butler already left, Li Qiang narrowed his eyes at his reflection.

"I know you are here." He uttered, his voice dark and low. "I can feel you. There is no need to hide yourself any longer."
A deafening silence followed his words. Li Qiang pursed his lips and waited. However… no one came. "If you refuse to show yourself… I will inform his highness, my brother, that someone is following me around. It will be enough to make him suspicious and assign shadow guards around me. This will make your —"
A swoosh interrupted him. Then he felt a cold metal on his throat. A man wearing dark clothes stood next to him, his blue eyes pierced through Li Qiang, as sharp as the dagger in his throat. "How did you know I was here?" he asked in a low whisper. It was threatening, something that would send shivers down a person's spine.
"Is that how you treat the man that you are guarding?" Li Qiang lifted and eyebrow and slowly moved the dagger away from his neck. He walked past his bed and into the circular wooden table near the window. "Care to introduce yourself?" he smirked and sat down on the chair near the table. "I should probably asked them to change this chairs. Too uncomfortable." He uttered.
The chairs and every furniture in this room can only be described with one word: extravagant. From the colorful stones embedded in the arms of each chair to the uncomfortable gems on the headboard of his bed. This room screamed stupidity at its finest.
"Who are you?" the guard's question surprised Li Qiang. He stared at the guard for a second and watched as he walked towards him. His footsteps were light, eyes unblinking. "What have you done to Li Qiang?"
"You have been observing me for a long time." Li Qiang stated. The previous Li Qiang did not have any memories of this man. However, when he carefully thought about it. This man already saved the previous Li Qiang's life for over five times.
However, the dumb Li Qiang was too shallow to notice his presence. Once again, Li Qiang couldn't help but asked himself how that dumb ass continued to survive until this age. "I was too dumb to notice you. But after that accident… I knew you tried to save me from that arrow."
Li Qiang's words were partly true. He was talking about the accident that made him unconscious for days. It was the same accident that killed the previous Li Qiang.
It happened three weeks ago. When Li Qiang was out with one of his mistress- his favorite one. Li Qiang could not stop himself and actually started kissing the woman in the carriage, intending to make love with her. It was when a group of assassins attacked them. It made him panic.
Li Qiang was practically useless. He does not know martial arts and only used his brother, the king's name, to scare people. Because of panic, he run off to the forest nearby and left his men to fight the assassins alone. He also left that woman with them. He lost tracked in the direction and got lost.
It took his men two days to find him and by then; he was already unconscious and bruised from avoiding one assassin. Aside from this, he also had countless of wounds from animal attacks. The only thing that he could remember was being saved by someone… someone who fought some assassins who found him.
At first, it took Li Qiang a lot of time to remember this. He was hungry, and his gaze was already hazy. However… after having a lot of rest, he was able to consolidate his memories and immediately knew that the man saved him. From this, he also concluded that someone had been saving him without his knowledge.
