Chapter 419 – Bah! Die, B̲i̲t̲c̲h̲! | Re:Library

As Yaeger and the others found themselves in a new maze, in real life, Ye Mansion in Yanjing was brightly lit despite the late hour when most people were already asleep.
Many people were gathered there in the traditional-looking main hall.
However, despite the presence of so many people, no one spoke, and the atmosphere was laden with a sense of heaviness and depression.

There was a sudden sound of cracking as a middle-aged man sitting in the center of the room took a sip of tea and closed the lid.
With a regal appearance, he seemed to be the patriarch of the family, and his sharp gaze fell upon his family members who stood erect before him.

“Have you finally found any information on that b̲i̲t̲c̲h̲?”

With an imposing demeanor, he spoke in a calm voice that sent shivers down everyone’s spines.
His family members trembled imperceptibly upon hearing his words, feeling a sense of fear overwhelming them.
The patriarch’s calmness in the face of anger was reminiscent of the eerie calm before a storm, and it was so dreadful that it left them feeling suffocated.

A few hours prior, the private plane of the Ability Management Department had brought back Joachim Ye, the young master of the Ye Family, to his home.
The family was already aware that Joachim had been taught a harsh lesson by someone else.
However, when Joachim was admitted to the ICU department of Yanjing First Hospital, barely resembling a human, everyone was both shocked and enraged.
The shock came from the fact that the so-called “Princess” had beaten up the greatest prodigy of their family to such a state.
The anger stemmed from the fact that she was fully aware of his identity as a descendant of Yanjing’s Ye Family, yet had still carried out the attack.
It was seen as a blatant provocation, and some felt that she was asking for death.

“Patriarch, I only learned a little.” A tall, thin young man wearing glasses approached the patriarch of the Ye Family, Donald Ye, with a tablet in his hand.
“Which family?” Donald Ye responded calmly with a sharp gaze.
“She doesn’t appear to come from a prominent family.
I’ve searched all affluent families in the country, but I couldn’t find any leads.” The spectacled young man replied.

“Could she be from a smaller family?” Donald Ye asked.

Joachim Ye was the only descendant of the family and had shown immense potential, destined to be sent to train in [That Place].
He had a limitless future ahead of him.
However, he had been rendered a cripple by someone of no consequence, which understandably enraged Donald Ye.
If he didn’t have to maintain the dignity befitting a patriarch, he would have leaped up and unleashed his fury.

“Patriarch, this is impossible.
According to the information we learned, [Princess]… No, that b̲i̲t̲c̲h̲.
I’m afraid she’s a breath away from reaching the Grandmaster Realm.
Those small families will never be capable of raising such a powerful person.”

“Quasi Grandmaster?” Donald Ye narrowed his eyes and gripped the table with his right hand.

An Internal Strength Master was only half a step away from reaching the Grandmaster Realm.
To be a breath away meant that she was infinitely closer to reaching the Grandmaster Realm, making her a Quasi Grandmaster.

The disparity between the Grandmaster and the Quasi Grandmaster was their ability to tap into the power of the world.
In numerical terms, with 10 being the most potent, the ranking was as follows: Grandmaster = 10, Quasi Grandmaster = 8, Pinnacle Master = 6.

“No matter which family raised this prodigy, she can only die as a consequence of offending our family.” Donald Ye spoke grimly.

Reaching the Grandmaster Realm was an arduous task, and without exceptional talent, one could only become a Quasi Grandmaster despite their best efforts.
However, even becoming a Quasi Grandmaster was nearly impossible.
Cultivating such an individual required astronomical amounts of resources, suggesting that [Princess] could only have originated from a large and influential family that had nurtured her with great care.

Killing her would be tantamount to declaring war on that particular family.
Yet, they had already brazenly trespassed onto the Ye Family’s territory and defiled their honor.
Failure to retaliate fiercely would tarnish their reputation in the capital city.

The patriarch’s words stirred up excitement among everyone present.
This was the kind of spirit that befitted a prestigious family and was a source of their pride.
The bespectacled young man returned his position after revealing information that was already known to all.

“Seven.
You’re also one breath away from reaching the Grandmaster Realm, a Quasi Grandmaster.
You will take care of this b̲i̲t̲c̲h̲.
You must kill her in the cruelest way possible, to serve as an example!” Donald Ye spoke grimly.

As soon as he finished speaking, a young man with a regular appearance, a buzz cut, and a muscular physique answered solemnly, “Yes.”

“Besides, you’ve been stuck as a Quasi Grandmaster for too long.
You might even gain the opportunity to breakthrough as you fight that b̲i̲t̲c̲h̲.
You must be prepared.
After all, Life and death situations in battle can push one’s potential to the limits.” Donald Ye added.

In truth, he had multiple reasons behind sending this young man to kill [Princess] in Roc City.

“I’ll follow your guidance, patriarch.” After speaking, the young man also returned to his original position.

“Six, take that spiritual herb from the storehouse to Doctor Huang in Mount Kun, and ask him to cure Joachim.” Donald Ye instructed a middle-aged man with gray hair.

Upon hearing the words ‘spiritual herb’, everyone was taken aback, realizing that such a valuable treasure was being given away as a gift.
However, upon hearing the name ‘Doctor Huang’, they were reassured.
Doctor Huang was known as a divine healer and was considered a reincarnated god of healing.
Only something as precious as the spiritual herb could convince him to accept the task of treating the young master’s injuries, which were severe enough to potentially make him refuse the job altogether.

“Yes.” The middle-aged man, known as Six, nodded at Donald Ye.
He then turned around and left the hall.

After assigning a few crucial duties, Donald Ye dismissed everyone and remained alone in the main hall.
Suddenly, a low growl escaped his lips, “B̲i̲t̲c̲h̲!” His face darkened as his eyes turned bloodshot, displaying his intense disdain for Yaeger.

Yaeger, who was unaware of this, rested by the entrance to the new maze along with Alicia and the rest.
However, it was only Yaeger who needed the rest, as she was truly exhausted.
She had just faced two Jade-ranked Magic Beasts and two other clones simultaneously, losing all her health in the process, but eventually turning the tide.
Her injuries were deep, and despite using High-grade health potions, it would still take her a long time to recover.

Yunuen, Little Fairy, and Alicia respected Yaeger’s need for rest and chose not to disturb her.
Instead, they sat together and discussed the details of the recent battle.
It was amazing how girls could chat endlessly once they found a common topic to talk about.

Yaeger leaned against the stone wall and let out a light sigh.
She gazed at the entrance to the maze, which was blocked by a stone door.
Her mind raced with thoughts, ‘Could it be that this is another maze with traps? I have to be careful from now on.’ She had a feeling that she was being targeted by something hostile, and she couldn’t shake off the sensation.

“Come to think of it, I’ve killed two Jade-ranked Swift Black Dragons.
I should earn something, right? Sister System?” She looked up and asked softly.
However, the distant Sister System didn’t respond at all.

“Humph, just ignore me.” Yaeger pouted her lips and grumbled silently.
Then, she opened the leaderboard and realized that her points had increased by 2,000.

“Hehe, as expected of the cave maze.
It gave me so many points… Obviously not! These points came from me killing two Floor Masters!” Yaeger was flabbergasted.

“Eh, what’s going on?” Looking down, she suddenly realized something was wrong with the leaderboard.
