Chapter 1017: Chapter 1026: William Runs Into Trouble (Part 2)
To be honest, after seeing the attitude of Avrilâs two family elders towards her, he felt uneasy about Avril, worried that she might encounter danger.
However, with William around, he was relatively assured. Besides, in his perspective, William was close to breaking through to the Innate level.
Once he breaks through to the Innate level, Avril would hardly be in any danger.
But now seeing Avril without William beside her, he couldnât help but furrow his brows and instinctively asked, "Whereâs William?"
Avril did not notice Lin Xiâs change in expression and replied, "Thatâs exactly why I came to find you!"
After chatting for a while, Lin Xiâs forehead relaxed.
It seemed the Butte Clan hadnât undergone a major upheaval; he was just overthinking it.
The reason William wasnât with Avril was because he was undergoing a breakthrough and had hit a roadblock.
This was also the reason Avril sought him out.
Because aside from Lin Xi, no one in the family had any solutions.
They believed that breaking through to the Innate realm was something outsiders couldnât help with; it had to be achieved solely through oneâs own efforts.
Once successful, it was akin to breaking out of a cocoon and being reborn, setting them apart from mortals.
Fail to breakthrough, and it would most likely lead to death and eradication, even worse than a mortalâs fate.
Thatâs why Avril sought out Lin Xi, hoping he could come up with a solution.
In her heart, even though Lin Xi was a complete scoundrel, one undeniable fact was that he was very powerful.
"Alright, Iâll go with you!" Lin Xi nodded.
The next moment, the trio got into the car and left for the Butte Clan, one of the top families in the United Kingdom.
He didnât have much interest in this.
So what if itâs the top family?
Heâs a man worth more than tens of billions, and he has liquid assets, too!
"Wait!" Lin Xi called out as the car passed a small department store.
Avril frowned, "Whatâs the matter?"
Knowing that William was facing life-threatening danger, she didnât want to waste a moment on the road, eager to return home immediately.
After all, she held feelings for William, the kind of sisterly affection towards a brother.
Lin Xi didnât respond to her, he got off the car directly.
Soon, he returned to the car from the department store, and Avril saw him holding a bag of balloons.
Balloons?
Avril, "...."
At that moment, she felt like swearing. If she werenât asking for Lin Xiâs help, she wouldâve already cursed.
"Why did you buy this?" She took a deep breath, trying her best to control her anger.
Lin Xi replied, "Itâs useful!"
However, he also noticed Avrilâs expression and knew she was worried about William, so he comforted her, "Donât worry, I think William isnât someone who will have a short life."
"Oh, even if itâs short-lived and he accidentally dies, itâs fine!"
"You can just stay with me after that; thereâs nothing good in London anyway!"
Avril, "...."
She felt she shouldnât have asked Lin Xi, it was just setting herself up for discomfort.
Lin Xi didnât mind her anymore; he took out a balloon from the bag and started blowing it up.
After about ten seconds, the balloon had grown to the size of a human head.
Avril turned her head, completely disregarding him.
As for the middle-aged man driving, he was a bit curious about Lin Xi and why the young miss tolerated him so much.
"Hmm?"
He was puzzled, making a sound of surprise.
Because he noticed that the balloon in Lin Xiâs hand suddenly vanished.
"Magic trick?"
He was also someone with peak Innate-level strength; to him, most magic tricks were mere jokes.
Now, he was stunned.
Lin Xi didnât respond to him, closing his eyes and focusing on entering the Jade Pendant Space.
The giant bear felt very happy seeing Lin Xi arrive.
At the same time, it was very curious about the balloon in Lin Xiâs hand.
Of course, the balloon in Lin Xiâs hand was indeed meant for the bear.
However, he couldnât give it directly now.
Otherwise, it would instantly burst when it got hold of it.
He thought for a moment and placed the balloon on the ground, pointing at it and telling the bear that it should grasp the balloon from the ground without popping it, and he would let it go out to play.
"Bang!"
The next moment, the balloon exploded.
Yes, at the moment the bearâs hand touched it, even before it started grasping.
Bear, "...."
Lin Xi could see the embarrassed expression on its face.
Alright, after instructing the bear, Lin Xi, who was seated, opened his eyes.
The middle-aged driver again saw Lin Xi take out another balloon and start blowing it up.
Then, he once again saw the balloon disappear from Lin Xiâs hand!
Gone?
Where did it go?
The middle-aged man was somewhat confused.
One vanished, he could assume it was swiftly hidden, but two?
Balloons werenât small, and the car made it difficult to hide two.
Next, he watched Lin Xi constantly blow up balloons.
The whole bag of balloons, probably over a hundred or so, was blown up by him in less than ten minutes.
However, the balloons had all vanished.
Middle-aged man, "...."
If this person wasnât invited by the young miss, he would doubt whether this person was human or if he had encountered a ghost.
Through all this, Avril was turned to the other side, completely unaware of Lin Xiâs actions, so she didnât know what had just happened.
An hour later, the car stopped outside a castle.
This castle covered a large area, estimated to be at least a thousand acres.
Having such a substantial piece of land in London undoubtedly demonstrated the wealth of the Butte Clan.
Inside the castle, Avril led Lin Xi for about ten minutes and finally stopped outside a quieter standalone villa.
At this time, there were seven or eight people standing outside the villa.
Among them, two were familiar to Lin Xi; they were the two Avril family elders who had entered the Holy Land.
Upon seeing Lin Xi, their expressions slightly changed, but they didnât say anything, pretending not to know him.
"Avril, is this the Eastern expert you invited?" A man in his fifties walked over and asked Avril.
Avril nodded, "Yes, dad, this is the person I mentioned."
The middle-aged man, named Kade, was Avrilâs father and the current leader of the Butte Clan.
He managed secular matters, and his authority was only second to the familyâs Innate powerhouses.
Kade was somewhat skeptical of Lin Xi at this moment, but he knew his daughter wouldnât lie, nor did she have a reason to lie at this moment unless she plotted against William.
However, she had such a good relationship with William, making this impossible.
"Is this person really that powerful? But heâs so young!" He thought inwardly, while constantly smiling at Lin Xi, "Welcome, Mr. Lin. If youâre able to help solve Williamâs problem, our Butte Clan will owe you a big favor."
At the same time, he noticed the expressions of the familyâs two elders; they didnât look good, and it was apparent they were deeply wary of the young man beside his daughter.
To Lin Xi, favors were unnecessary.
Besides, he was heading back to his home country this afternoon; a favor from someone in the United Kingdom was even less useful.
Better to give money instead, straightforward!
Hmm, not practical!
But he wasnât the kind to be so needy as to ask for money; doing so would lower his dignity and undermine his prestige.
"Sigh!" He quietly sighed.
Still, he replied to Kade, "Alright, Iâll take a look!"
