"But that's exactly why we were able to meet you here, thank God."

Robert said, crossing her arms over her chest, with a sincere expression, that she believed it was God's will.

Then Robert continued, "Shen, you haven't found a place to stay yet, have you?"

“No, we’ve only been here a short time.” Shen Ye pointed to his and Leon’s backpacks.

“Then I’d like to invite you… um… and your friends to the young master’s manor. What do you think?” Roberte said, but she really only wanted to invite Shen Ye. As long as he nodded, she didn’t care about the parted-haired boy next to her.

"can."

Shen Ye had no objections, but with Leon still nearby, he nudged Leon with his elbow and asked, "What about you?"

Lyon scratched his head somewhat awkwardly, but considering that Krauser wouldn't arrive for another day or two, he thought it over and nodded in agreement.

“In that case, let’s go. I’ll take you to the parking lot. I think it should be rested by now.” Robert laughed and was about to lead Shen Ye and the others to the parking lot when he heard the little maid Fabiola poke her waist with her finger.

“Miss Robert, you seem to have forgotten something.” The maid held up her empty basket. “We haven’t bought anything yet!”

These words made Robert lower his head in embarrassment.

She was so excited when she saw Shen Ye.

"Let's go together then, it'll be a good opportunity to enjoy the scenery of the town," Shen Ye said, patting Robert on the shoulder.

"Yes!" Robert nodded vigorously, took the basket handed to him by the maid, and walked towards the town's market.

Following behind the two maids, Leon's eyes were extremely complicated. He could tell that the maid named Robert, who was dressed in a Gothic maid outfit, was very interested in Shen Ye.

"Aren't you afraid that Jill or Ada might shoot you one day?" Leon said in a low voice. "That maid named Roberta clearly likes you a lot. You're juggling three women now."

"That's more than that." Shen Ye thought to himself, but said softly, "Don't worry, it won't happen, especially with Ida, she knows Robert too."

"What?" Leon's eyes widened, then he stared intently at Shen Ye for a long while before saying, "Can you teach me how to handle this? I want to learn too."

"Sorry, I don't know either." Shen Ye himself didn't know, so how could he possibly teach him?

"Perhaps it's his personal charm," Shen Ye added after thinking for a moment.

Lyon's gaze suddenly became somewhat dazed, and then he said coldly, "Shen, you're fucking shameless."

……

Since it was close to noon, the two maids stopped shopping after doing half of their purchases and took Shen Ye and Leon to a relatively upscale restaurant in the town for lunch.

Although it was still boiled beans, fried bananas, and pan-fried pork chops, the taste was quite good, at least enough to make Shen Ye, a picky person, nod in satisfaction.

After lunch, I accompanied the two maids on a stroll through the market, and then followed them to where they had parked their car.

"Robert, is this the car you were talking about?"

Shen Ye was extremely surprised to see a four-wheeled carriage pulled by a single horse.

"Although the Labras family has declined, they still need to maintain a certain level of pomp and circumstance, so we usually choose to ride in it whenever we enter a small town."

Robert touched the horse's face and said.

Then she opened the car door and gestured to Shen Ye, "Shen, please get in the car."

Shen Ye looked at the horse and said with some concern, "Can it pull the four of us?"

"Don't worry about it, it's the best," Robert said earnestly.

"Alright then." Shen Ye shrugged and sat down with Leon.

Then, Robert and his maid Fabiola sat in front of the carriage, gently shaking the reins, and the carriage immediately headed out of town.

……

(The Labras family has two maids, two!)

Chapter 113! Manuela

……

The carriage slowly made its way along the winding rainforest path toward the Labras family manor.

"Miss Robert, what kind of person is he?"

On the carriage, the little maid asked the head maid beside her, expressing her great curiosity about the man that the young master and Robert always mentioned.

“Him?” Robert glanced back at Shen Ye, who was chatting with Lyon inside the car. He thought for a moment but didn’t know how to describe him, so he said, “He is a person with many good qualities.”

“Few men are as outstanding as him,” she added.

“But she looks rather ordinary,” said the maid Fabiola. “Although she is good-looking, she seems quite lazy.”

"That's just his personality, Fabiola. Don't judge a book by its cover. If you spend more time with him, you'll learn about his good qualities."

"Oh!"

Fabiola gave an "oh" and then fell silent, resting her chin on her hands and lost in thought.

As the carriage ventured deeper into the rainforest, there were no other travelers in sight on the path, so Robert pulled on the reins, preparing to urge the horse to run faster.

Just then, a white figure suddenly rushed out of the rainforest by the roadside. Perhaps it lost its footing or tripped over something, and fell directly to the ground in the middle of the path.

Seeing this, Robert quickly tightened the reins and brought the carriage to a stop, thus preventing the simultaneous trampling and crushing of the horses.

"Robert, what's wrong?" The sudden stop of the carriage caused Shen Ye and Lyon inside to lurch forward. Shen Ye simply opened the door and asked.

“There’s someone lying down up ahead,” Robert and Fabiola said as they jumped out of the car and walked toward the person.

"Could it be that we hit it?" Upon hearing this, Shen Ye exchanged a glance with Leon and jumped out of the car as well.

“No, she suddenly fell into the middle of the road,” Robert said, turning the person over and discovering that she was actually a very beautiful young girl.

The girl had shoulder-length blonde hair and wore a white dress, but the hem of the dress was covered in mud and had tears, probably from running in the jungle.

Whether it was from exhaustion or something else, the girl's consciousness was somewhat blurred. When Robert turned her over, she was still muttering, "I don't want to go back. I don't want more people to get hurt."

At this moment, Shen Ye, who had walked over, was stunned when he heard this. He then took a closer look at the blonde girl, and a name came to mind.

“Manuela Hidalgo”.

"That's quite an unexpected turn of events," Shen Ye thought.

However, after thinking about it carefully, Shen Ye felt that meeting her was not unexpected, because in the story, after Manuela learned the truth, she chose to run away from her father, which led to the village that took her in being massacred by the biological weapons sent by Havel.

"That's good, it's like doing a good deed." Shen Ye smiled and shook his head, then took out a bottle of mineral water, opened the cap, and carefully fed it to Manuella.

Manuela had been wandering in the rainforest for two days and two nights, barely eating or drinking anything. The moment the water flowed into her mouth, she instinctively reached out and grabbed the mineral water bottle, gulping it down.

After a few sips of water, the girl slowly regained consciousness. She struggled to open her eyes and saw several people surrounding her.

"Thank you."

Although Manuela's father was a ruthless gang leader, she was a very kind and gentle lady. After realizing that it was the people in front of her who had helped her, she immediately began to thank them.

Then, feeling embarrassed, she got up and returned the half-empty water bottle to Shen Ye, who was still holding the cap.

"Thank you for the water."

"You're welcome." Shen Ye didn't take the water; instead, he handed over the bottle cap: "The whole bottle is yours; you can continue drinking."

"I'm not thirsty anymore," the girl said, her head bowed. She tried to stand up, but almost lost her balance, and Roberto, who was standing nearby, helped her up.

“It seems she’s hungry,” Leon said from the side.

So Shen Ye took out another bag of biscuits and handed it over.

The girl became even more embarrassed, but being extremely hungry, she still accepted the biscuits. Just as she tore open the packaging and was about to eat, Shen Ye and the others suddenly became alert.

A commotion arose in the rainforest.

“Someone’s coming. There are quite a few of them, at least twenty.” Since he killed the tyrant with his bare hands last time, Robert’s senses have become more acute than before. He can even judge the number of people from the sounds coming from the rainforest.

“They’re probably here to arrest her.” Leon, a former police officer, guessed the reason immediately and said, “They don’t mean any harm. We need to be careful.”

"What's there to be afraid of? No matter how many people come, I'll kill them all," the maid beside her said dismissively.

Manuela, who was listening to their conversation, turned pale instantly. She knew that her father's men had caught up with them.

"Don't worry, keep eating," Shen Ye comforted Manuela, who seemed a little lost.

“But…” Manuela hadn’t finished speaking when more than twenty South American locals armed with various guns rushed out of the rainforest.

"Don't move, put your hands up!" shouted one of the leaders among them. He had seen Manuela behind Shen Ye.

But Shen Ye and the others just looked at them without making a move, which made him lose face. He angrily raised his gun and pointed it at Shen Ye and the others.

"No!" Seeing this, Manuela stepped forward and stood in front of Shen Ye.

"Miss, please move aside. I'm going to teach this blind fool a lesson," the leader shouted.

Then he added, "Of course, if you come back with us, I'll let them go."

“I don’t…” Manuela only got halfway through her sentence before she stopped, because she suddenly realized that whether she went back or not, she would hurt others.

Seeing Manuela's expression, the leader felt a surge of pride; he knew his young lady was a kind person.

However, Shen Ye then made a move, grabbing Manuella's arm and pulling her behind him.

"Don't worry, they're nothing."
