In the Silver Barony, Jamie continued his grueling training, combining physical exercises, swordsmanship, and the purification of demonic, sacred, and dragon-lineage mana. At the same time, he made sure to gather information with the help of the maid Emilia, who was monitoring news from the barony and the surrounding areas under the earldom.
Four days remained until the appointed date. In his room, which overflowed with scattered books and notes, Jamie sat writing down his observations with sharp focus. Suddenly, he said in a cold tone: "Emelia Wilton, come here immediately." She entered quietly, bowing respectfully: "I am here, Young Master." Jamie asked her: "What is the latest news?" She replied: "There is bad news... and even worse news."
Jamie asked for the bad news first, so Emilia informed him: "Some of the servants are planning to poison you during lunch, Master. Here is the list of those involved." She handed him the paper, which he took in silence, then asked for the worse news. She said: "Your uncle, Ceron Silver, is planning a coup to seize power. He has the backing of Viscount Weiser." Jamie smiled mockingly, commenting on the scoundrels of the Weiser Viscounty who cared about nothing but his existence, then ordered Emilia to gather all the servants at lunch for an important announcement, confirming he would deal with his uncle later.
An hour later, in the dining hall, Jamie sat at the head of the table, while all 27 servants stood before him, exchanging anxious and inquiring glances. Even the elderly head butler, Brian, aged 76, seemed surprised by this sudden meeting. Brian said respectfully: "We are honored by your presence, Young Master. How may we serve you?" Jamie replied coldly: "A good question. Despite the 65-year age gap between us, I hold no respect for you. Now, listen to my question..."
Suddenly, a heavy silence fell over the hall, and a terrifying murder intent along with an invisible pressure swept through the room, weighing down the air and suffocating everyone's breath. Even Emilia choked on the intensity of the aura, whispering to herself with difficulty about the suffocating air. Jamie said in a sharp voice: "Kneel." Everyone fell to their knees involuntarily as their bodies gave way under the lethal pressure Jamie imposed.
Jamie looked at the head butler and asked: "I heard that some scum wanted to poison me today. Is that true?" One of the servants burst into tears, denying any knowledge and begging for forgiveness. Jamie reached under the table and drew his sword; in a single instant, the man's head flew off. Jamie said with a calm smile: "Did I order anyone to speak?" Then he repeated sharply as a tense silence prevailed: "I asked you: Did I order any of you to answer?!"
Another servant answered in fear: "No, Master! We are only obeying your orders!" Jamie nodded and decided to return to the matter at hand. He turned to Emilia and called her sternly: "Silvie, come here." Emilia stepped forward with steady steps and presented him with the document. Jamie ordered everyone whose name was called to stand, and those uncalled to remain kneeling. He began reading the names: "Harry... Picklov..." until he reached the final name: "Brian, the Head Butler."
Instantly, Jamie rushed forward like a lethal hurricane with a wide smile. Blood splattered in every direction as limbs were severed and heads fell, turning the hall into a silent massacre. By the end, only three survived. Brian lay on the ground trembling in terror, having wet himself. Jamie grabbed him by the neck and asked: "Tell me, Head Butler... how much did the Blood Fang Gang pay you?" Brian tried to deny it, claiming to speak the truth, but before he could finish, Jamie severed his head without hesitation.
Out of twenty-seven servants, only three remained alive. Jamie appointed the maid Silvie as the new Head Butler and gave the other two servants a choice: either remain in his service or have their tongues and hands cut off to ensure no secrets were leaked. They forcibly chose to stay. Jamie stood in silence, looked out the window, and muttered to himself: "It is time to eradicate the Blood Fang Gang."
