Bobby was startled inside.
However, his face showed no unusual expression as he turned around and asked with a smile, "Manager Gu, what do you mean? It's late, and I'd like to go back to my room to sleep."
"I heard what Daine said at the end just now," said Gu Wanyin.
Bruno said, "I heard it too! He said Bobby was the one who ruined him."
"I heard it as well..." another guest said.
"What does that mean? How could Duke Bobby be responsible for his actions? It's not like the Duke made him kill someone in the hotel."
"I don't know, let's see what Manager Gu has to say."
Bobby remained completely calm, raising an eyebrow as he asked, "So what? Manager Gu, you're not going to condemn me based on Daine's one-sided words, are you? He chose to kill someone himself, how can he say I ruined him? I didn't force him to do it."
"Even if you didn't force him, you must have manipulated him!" Bruno said angrily, "Don't think we don't know that you've always had ill intentions toward Janet!"
"Young man, you need evidence when making accusations," Bobby sneered, "You say I manipulated Daine, then show me the proof!"
"You..."
"Daine is dead now, why don't you summon his spirit and ask him?"
The mockery in Bobby's tone made Bruno's face flush red with anger, wanting nothing more than to beat him up right there.
But he still maintained his rationality, as fighting was forbidden in the hotel, and he couldn't violate the rules...
So he could only look to Gu Wanyin for help.
Gu Wanyin gave a light chuckle and said, "Do you think that with Daine dead, there's no way to prove anything?"
Bobby still didn't want to offend the hotel manager.
After all, Daine had just died right in front of him.
He knew this hotel manager must be very powerful.
So he put on a smile and said, "Manager Gu, you've really misunderstood me. That guy Daine must have wanted someone to go down with him before he died, that's why he said that. I have absolutely no hostility toward Miss Janet, and I never manipulated Daine."
"Is that so? Then take a look at this."
Gu Wanyin snapped her fingers.
Suddenly, a cloud of mist appeared in mid-air.
Everyone was shocked, looking up at the mist while discussing among themselves.
"What is that? It just appeared out of nowhere!"
"Is it a cloud? No, it's mist! But what can a cloud of mist do?"
While everyone was confused, images began to appear in the mist.
It showed the scene from earlier that day, when Bobby was talking to Daine!
The scene was crystal clear, even the pores on their faces were visible.
Moreover, their conversation could be heard clearly by everyone present.
Everyone clearly heard how Bobby had manipulated Daine into trying to kill Janet.
Bobby's face turned pale white, his mouth agape with shock.
What kind of thing was this?
How were he and Daine appearing in it?
And this was actually the exact moment when he had manipulated Daine!
What, what kind of magic was this?
"Manager Gu, what kind of magic is this?" Joshua couldn't help but ask, "How are Bobby and Daine up there? Isn't Bobby standing right here? And isn't Daine already dead?"
"I'll explain that to you all later," Gu Wanyin smiled, "The important thing is, this is something that really happened. Bobby, do you have anything else to say?"
Bobby was too shocked to speak.
He had thought his plan to kill by proxy was particularly clever.
Although Janet hadn't died, he hadn't suffered any losses either.
Who could have imagined that Gu Wanyin would be so powerful, conjuring up such a mysterious mist!
Now even if he had a hundred mouths, he couldn't talk his way out of this!
It was his subordinate Eugene who felt some sympathy and stepped forward to say, "Manager Gu, although Duke Bobby said those things, he didn't actually harm Janet himself. It was Count Daine who took action... now that Count Daine is dead, can't we just let this matter rest?"
"That's not right," said Gu Wanyin, "Although he didn't act personally, he manipulated a guest in the hotel to attack another guest, which constitutes a serious threat to the hotel's internal stability. If I allow someone like this to continue staying in the hotel, how can my hotel maintain its trustworthiness?"
"Exactly!" said Bruno, "If he could do something like this, he'll definitely try to harm Janet again in the future!"
"If it weren't for him, Daine wouldn't have tried to attack Janet," Joshua added, "So he can't escape responsibility for this."
"Yes, I never would have thought that Duke Bobby, who always seemed so proper, would try to harm a young girl like this."
"Come to think of it, Janet is Duke Ferguson's daughter, and I heard before that Duke Ferguson and Duke Bobby don't get along."
"What does that have to do with Janet? Attacking a young girl, what kind of man does that make him! If he's got any courage, he should go kill vampires!"
"Hmph, what abilities does he have? He just relies on his family background to get a duke's title. Without his subordinates, he would have been killed by vampires long ago."
Bobby's face alternated between green and white.
Except for his subordinate Eugene, no one was speaking up for him...
And even Eugene had nothing more to say now, only giving Bobby a sympathetic look.
Meanwhile, Bobby glared at Janet with hatred.
It was all because of this damn girl! If it weren't for her, he wouldn't have ended up in this situation...
And Gu Wanyin!
Why should she own such a hotel!
Why should he have to follow her rules about what he can and cannot do!
No, he absolutely cannot die like this...
Bobby's eyes darted around and landed on Joshua, who was standing nearby.
He quickly drew his sword from his waist and grabbed Joshua, holding the blade against her throat!
No one had expected him to make such a move, and they all gasped in shock.
"Joshua!" Bruno shouted in panic, "Let go of my sister!"
Janet was also anxious: "Isn't it me you hate? Come at me then, let her go!"
"Haha, let her go? In your dreams!" Bobby snarled, "Let me leave! Let me leave this place! Otherwise, I'll make this little girl die with me!"
After speaking, he looked at Gu Wanyin.
But in the next moment, his pupils dilated in shock.
Because Gu Wanyin's expression remained completely calm, showing no sign of panic.
"You can't hurt her," Gu Wanyin said.
"Wh-what?"
Bobby refused to believe it and tried to cut Joshua's throat with his sword.
Janet screamed in terror.
But...
Joshua's neck remained completely unharmed.
Moreover, she hadn't felt anything at all.
The sword in Bobby's hand seemed to have turned into thin air.
He threw away the sword and tried to strangle Joshua with his bare hands, but somehow, his hands moved against his will and went to his own throat instead.
Joshua broke free from his control and quickly ran away.
Bobby was now completely desperate.
"Earlier you still had the excuse that you didn't act personally, now you don't even have that excuse anymore," Gu Wanyin sneered.
Bobby tried to turn and run.
But his feet seemed to be glued to the ground, unable to move.
At that moment, the cloud of mist that had been floating in the air slowly began moving toward him.
