"Hmph, you bastard, how dare you look at me like that!" Billy glared at the young man angrily, and shouted to the attendants behind him with a ferocious face, "Hit me!"
"Yes, Master!"
Without any hesitation, the attendants immediately swarmed up and punched and kicked the young man.
The young man didn't struggle to resist or beg for mercy, he just endured it silently.
The more he behaved like this, the angrier Billy became. He pushed the attendants away and started to fight in person, using his feet to kick the young man's abdomen as hard as he could.
The young man curled up into a ball and almost fainted from the pain, but he still didn't make any sound.
An unknown fire arose in Billy's heart, and he struck harder and harder. All he felt from the boy's silent reaction was contempt, not any fear.
"How dare you stare at me!" Billy finally ran out of energy in the fight, "You continue to fight! Beat him until he screams!"
When the attendants saw Billy's furious state, they dared not neglect him and immediately rushed forward to beat the boy again.
They struck harder and harder, fearing that Billy would be dissatisfied.
But the boy's body was like his body was not his at all, he was just allowed to be beaten by them.
It didn't take long for the boy to look like he had a bruised nose, a swollen face, and blood all over his body.
But from the beginning to the end, the boy did not even cry out, his eyes were still firm and full of coldness.
"Master Billy, if you beat him again, he will die. This bastard will die as soon as he dies. Although Lord Earl won't blame you, he still has to give you a scolding. Can you just let it go today?"
A waiter came up to Billy and said with a smile on his face.
Billy's expression changed, he pointed at the boy and said angrily, "Just wait for me, you will suffer the consequences in the future!"
Billy said a harsh word, turned around and left with a group of thugs.
Without saying a word, the young man climbed up from the ground with difficulty and began to clean the wounds and blood stains on his body.
When the servants in the kitchen saw this scene, they seemed to have been used to it for a long time, and they turned a blind eye.
"The water tank is not full yet. If it is not filled today, there will be no food."
The fat steward in the kitchen sighed and walked out slowly.
After cleaning the wound, the young man silently carried the bucket, without even changing his wet clothes, and limped out of the yard to fetch water.
In the days that followed, Billy waited until the boy's injuries were almost healed before he came to trouble him again. The process was invariably verbal humiliation and severe beatings.
But the result was the same every time. No matter how they beat him, they didn't wait until the boy surrendered and begged for mercy, even if he couldn't get up at all.
And every time they were tired and ready to leave, the boy would slowly get up and look at Billy quietly.
That calm and peaceful gaze suddenly made Billy feel chilled from the deepest part of his heart.
From then on, Billy started to have nightmares, and every time he woke up from his sleep, it was the boy's cold eyes.
But the more this happened, the more Billy wanted to get rid of this nightmare.
One day, after another severe beating in the Earl's Mansion compound, the young man was covered in blood, but he looked at Billy with a smile.
Billy finally couldn't stand it anymore, and he roared at several attendants, "Get him!!"
The attendants did not dare to disobey and immediately stepped forward to catch the young man. Then, under everyone's shocked eyes, Billy took out a dagger from behind and shouted ferociously at the young man, "Go to hell!"
The young man's expression changed slightly. He wanted to break free from the restraints of the attendants, but his body was too thin and he could not break free no matter what.
Just when the dagger was about to hit the boy, a huge shadow shrouded the sky, and everyone present felt a heart-stopping aura appearing above their heads.
Billy paused in his movements, and looked up with a stiff neck.
I saw a giant beast with the head of a eagle and the body of a lion appearing in the sky. It was five or six meters tall, and its golden feathers shone in the sun.
Billy's heart trembled, and his legs began to shake unconsciously under the breath of the apex predator.
Not only him, but everyone in the Earl's Mansion felt the strange movement in the sky.
Earl Rodney also looked at the strange beast in the sky in shock. He quickly ordered to summon all the guards in the mansion and rushed towards the courtyard of the Earl's Mansion.
The griffin swooped down and fell straight down from the sky, landing lightly in the courtyard.
Seeing the gryphon at close range, its power is even more terrifying. Its sharp claws and sharp eyes are as sharp as a weapon, which makes people unable to bear the pressure.
"Billy! Come here!"
Rodney rushed over with hundreds of soldiers. When he saw this giant beast falling down and right next to his son, he was startled and yelled hastily.
Billy was so frightened that his legs were weak and he could not run anywhere. In the end, with the help of the two trembling attendants, he ran in front of Earl Rodney in embarrassment.
"Father!" Billy almost cried. He ran over and saved Rodney's arm, his body still shaking slightly.
Rodney patted Billy's back gently, comforted him a few words softly, then turned around and shouted, "Archers, prepare!"
The soldiers' faces were all ugly, and some even turned pale. After all, no one had ever seen such a terrifying beast.
But after hearing Rodney's order, they had to assume a fighting posture. The archers began to bend their bows and nock arrows, aiming at the griffin.
The gryphon didn't even look at them. It walked slowly up to the abandoned boy, looked down at him and asked, "Are you Chris Rodney?"
Hearing the griffin speaking human words, everyone present opened their mouths wide and thought they were hearing hallucinations.
Chris was quite calm. He looked at the ferocious beast in front of him and said slowly, "I am Chris, but now I have changed it to my mother's surname. My name is Chris Cecil!"
The gryphon's eagle eyes flashed, and he said in a rather impatient tone, "No matter what your last name is, this admission letter belongs to you."
The gryphon raised a paw, handed a sealed parchment roll in front of Chris, and continued to urge, "Hurry up and read it and decide whether you want to follow me! I haven't seen you for half a month.
My lovely daughter, my God, she was born less than a month ago and she can’t see her father. Do you know how cruel this is! I only give you five minutes, no, one minute to think about it!”
Chris was stunned for a moment. Although he couldn't understand what was happening in front of him, he still carefully took the parchment, opened it and started reading.
"Hello, Mr. Chris Rodney, congratulations, you have been admitted to the Extraordinary Academy. If you are willing, please tell the messenger, and it will take you to the Extraordinary Academy to start a legendary journey."
