章 1923: A Failed Plan

"The young master has failed."

The butler looked fearfully at the man who was teasing the cat. He had seen the young master grow from a baby to a full-grown man. He was not only a young master to him, but he treated him like his grandson.

As an elder, he could not help but sigh when he knew that his young master had failed in his mission.

"Failure is a common thing."

The man casually stroked the orange cat with his hand. It was a fat, chubby cat with fur that was soft and silky. It felt great to touch. He could not stop touching it.

"But the young master has never done anything wrong. This time, he will be hit hard by his failure. Since Xie Xuning is known to be cruel, I'm afraid that the young master will suffer now that he's in his hands."

The man showed no emotion. "Suffering is a blessing. After all, he's been through, he'll know that success doesn't come easily."
