Master Brian’s maid

Chapter 19 Master Brian’s Game



As soon as he finished speaking, he picked up the desk phone and called the housekeeper Allen to come here. After a while, he was in the master’s room, Brian motioned for Allen to come closer to him and whispered something to Allen, he nodded in understanding and left the room quickly to prepare. Then Brian turned to Jane and said:

“Actually, the rules of this game are very simple. Players include me and you, to make the game fair, both will be randomly drawn. That will determine who is the hunter and who is the prey.”

Jane curiously continued to ask:

“So what are the privileges of the hunter and the prey?”

Cheerful Brian says:

“This game will take place within 6 hours, the prey will leave this room first and find a place to hide. The hunter will have the task of hunting down his prey at all costs. His powers are higher with 5 yellow cards used in his hand, it includes asking for information of his prey from others such as hiding places when they see where the prey is hiding and also observing from the camera. ”

When Jane heard this, she hastily retorted:

“In that case, the hunter will have the upper hand. That is not fair.”

Brian laughed wryly and continued:

“You really are a hasty girl. I haven’t finished saying it yet, are you so afraid of that?”

Jane hummed awkwardly and replied:

“I don’t have one, I just speak my mind.”

Brian smiled lightly, continued:

“Ok, the prey still has its powers. If within 6 hours, the prey finds three things requested by the hunter, then when the prey is discovered by the hunter, it will not be eaten but will also be rewarded with a gift from the hunter. In addition, it has 2 small privileges in the process of running away and finding things, that is, the right to be invisible and the right to escape death, not being caught once.”

Jane heard that and thought for a moment, about to say something, when the butler Allen and another person entered the room, in his hand was a small folded paper box used for the draw. Brian quickly pulled one from the box and looked at Jane inquiringly. When it was Jane’s turn to draw the lot, she hesitated a bit, looked at Brian and asked:

“Can I not join this game?”

Brian was not happy with Jane’s question, he coldly replied:

“I don’t think that’s a wise question for you, so you like being punished and beaten right?”

Jane shivered in fear when she heard Brian say that, she hurried to put out the fire:

“No, it’s not. I was just asking. I will still be in this game.”

Brian smiled slightly, he pretended to wait, motioned for Jane to draw a piece of paper inside the box. She timidly put her hand in the box and took out a small piece of paper. Right now, Allen stepped aside and solemnly said:

“Invite the two of you to open the little piece of paper and hold it in front of your partner so everyone can see.”

Brian and Jane opened the paper, he smiled brightly and held the paper in front of Jane’s eyes with the words “Hunter”. Right now, Jane is baffled by that with a piece of “Prey” paper in her hand, which she awkwardly holds up for Brian to see and he’s not surprised at all. It seems that no matter what, Jane still cannot escape her own fate, always being chased by others.

When Brian learned that Jane was his prey, he was even happier, but he didn’t show it quickly, but only secretly laughed in his heart. Brian motioned for Jane to come beside him, he took another piece of paper, wrote down the three essentials he wanted her to find, and then gave it to her. Jane took it and opened it to read, it contained: a book, an ashtray and a silver ring. Jane identified three things she needed to find and quickly asked him again:

“So do I get any hints when I go looking for them?”

Brian shook his head and smiled.

“No, you have to find them yourself all over this Lawrence mansion, wherever you can think they are there.”

Jane heard Brian say that and felt more helpless, finding all three things in such a large place, it was not an easy thing. But Jane is forced to complete the challenge in this game even though she really doesn’t want to participate in it. Jane turned to look at the ticking clock, took a deep breath and encouraged herself:

“Okay, I can do it well, just three items in 6 hours, keep calm and try to do everything my best.”

The little girl confidently replied quickly:

“Yes, let’s play, master.”

Jane turned to leave the room quickly, she quickly ran to another place to find the first object was a book, she had to find it quickly and at the same time had to find a place to hide so Brian could not find her.

Brian motioned to his butler Allen to help him sit in a modern wheelchair with full amenities, it has a flexible control with full function buttons, it will help him easily move faster to capture prey. Actually Brian didn’t like using this wheelchair very much because it was a gift from Matthew when he was discharged from the hospital and went home. A gift that Brian doesn’t like in the slightest just because the giver is his obnoxious brother. But now Brian is forced to use it because he has no other way to move as quickly as possible to find the target in this game.

Brian sighed in frustration as he sat in his wheelchair, he had to ignore it and use it temporarily. Brian opened his laptop quickly, accessing the cameras mounted in the mansion to probe Jane’s location. He looked at it, smiled and said to himself:

“Did you just go to the book room just now? Faster than I thought, but unfortunately it wasn’t there.”

Jane was now in the large book room of the Lawrence family, which was the first place she could think of when she wanted to find a book in such a large place. But things were really more difficult than she thought because in this room containing a huge number of books, it was like a miniature library, not an ordinary reading room anymore. She will have to start from the smallest to the larger, Jane read the title of the book again to keep it in her mind, hearing the title, it sounds like a book in the field of literature. So she’d go to the literature section to find it first, but it’s also a good thing that the books in this room are so neatly arranged and grouped into specific places, or else it’s bad for Jane right little by little, very time consuming.

But when Jane went to the literature book section, she could not find a book with the requested name. She searched carefully again but the results were the same, which confused and worried her even more. Jane tried gliding away but still couldn’t see it, she thought carefully about the places she could try and decided where the family would gather such as the living room, the Lawrence family’s rest room, and a few places Jane had skipped earlier.

But when Jane walked out the door and saw Brian, he immediately grabbed her hand and held it. Jane frantically tried to free his hand and was grabbed by Brian forcefully, pulling her to sit on his lap. Jane thought to herself:

“Unfortunately, it was only a little while ago that I was caught.”

She quickly took out a yellow card and said:

“Invisible.”

Brian smiled happily and replied:

“Okay, okay. I’ll let you go but you should know forty-five minutes minutes have passed. You should run away from me faster.”

Brian let go of Jane, she quickly ran away with her hurried expression. She stopped to ask a maidservant about the members of this family:

“Wait, I want to ask you. Do you know anyone in Lawrence who has a reading habit or a hobby of reading?”

Piper stopped cleaning for a moment and replied to Jane:

“As far as I know, it’s Lady Hanzel, Mr. Wibul, and the two masters Mattew and Brian.”

Jane thought to herself:

“It’s been difficult for me, most people in this family love reading. What should I do?”

Piper saw the worried look on Jane’s face and said:

“I heard you were playing some game with Master Brian. So I’ll help you out a little bit. Can you tell me the title of the book you are looking for?”

Jane excitedly replied:

“Okay, here it is.”

She showed the book’s title to Piper, who exclaimed:

“Ah, the title of this book. I once saw in Lady Hazel’s room, it was a thick book that Hazel enjoyed because she used to take it out and read in her spare time.”

When Jane heard that, she happily thanked Piper profusely, it seemed that she was also lucky to have met a person as Piper had guided her wholeheartedly, finding the book quickly. Then she ran off again to Hazel’s resting room. Today, Hazel is not present in the mansion but on the contrary, there is Riley, Hazel’s personal butler who is rearranging some papers in the room for her mistress. Jane saw the door half open, knocked softly and asked:

“Sorry to bother you, can I ask you for a little help?”

Riley stood up, adjusted her clothes and glasses, looked at Jane with an annoyed expression, and replied:

“What can I do for you?”

Jane said slowly:

“Now, I’m playing a game with my master Brian, he wants me to find a book. I learned that the book is here now. Can you find it and give it to me?”

Riley looked at Jane for a moment, and replied coldly:

“What is the name of the book?”

Jane quickly told Riley the title of the book she was looking for, and she went to the table and took a thick red book that was placed above the stack of documents, and gave it to Jane. Riley before giving it, do not forget to remind:

“When Master Brian is done using it, remember to return it to this room, okay?”

Jane happily replied:

“Yes, I will do it.”

Riley nonchalantly turned away, continuing her unfinished assignment from Hazel. As for Jane, she immediately ran to the next place to find the second item in Brian’s request.
