After my rebirth, Miss Saint turned evil

The struggle between Patrick and Leyden XIII has now entered a white-hot stage, although in the eyes of those outside who are unaware of the situation, the kingdom's top leaders still appear to be having a good time.

But in fact, these two people even wanted to beat his brains out. Under this premise, anyone with a discerning eye could see that Patrick was preparing to run away.

After all, as long as he is still in the royal capital, he cannot be truly safe.

Murphy believed that Old Jed must know this too.

As he expected, Old Jed simply thought for a moment and then showed an expression of enlightenment.

"That's true." He nodded in agreement with Murphy's idea, then immediately shook his head: "But it's not enough. This alone is not chaotic enough."

"Since Patrick was already planning to flee at that time, it means he was definitely prepared. It's impossible for him to do something as stupid as losing his daughter, not to mention that he is now training her as his heir."

"If you really want to take the person away safely, then you have to make things more chaotic. It would be best if you could turn the capital upside down."

Of course Murphy was also aware of these things, but there was nothing he could do; he didn't have the ability to do it.

After all, he is just one person. He has no power of his own and does not have enough money to hire people who can do these things for him.

But the person who could do these things was right here, sitting across from him.

It would be best if he could do it himself, but obviously he couldn't do it and had to rely on the help of others.

Rely on old Jed, or...that ruthless man with both good and bad reputation.

Just like Old Jed is the underground king of Lars, such a character naturally exists in the royal capital.

They are equally powerful and equally wealthy.

The only difference is that this guy from the royal capital will definitely not be as friendly to Murphy as old Jed, and it is not even certain whether he can meet him.

But there is still a chance. At least as far as he knows, that person also has his own ambitions.

It's just that she was a little more cautious, so even Patrick didn't succeed.

This time, Murphy didn't hint at anything, but asked directly: "Master, can you help me?"

"Of course, I know very well that as the boss, you can't just consider me, and you can't let your subordinates fall into danger. Even I don't want that to happen."

"So if it doesn't work, just pretend I never asked this question. Although it's a bit troublesome, I'm not without other solutions."

Murphy's expression was very serious. What he said was not just a polite remark, but he was seriously considering the situation of Old Jed and the organization.

Filia is important, but his companions in the organization are also a part of him that cannot be abandoned.

There was no way he would put them in danger just for his own selfish desires.

Chapter 105 Another Way

After the conversation that day, Old Jed said, "I have a few friends who I want to meet up with." Then he disappeared again. No one knows where he is now having a good time.

The final result of the conversation that day was not what Murphy expected: Old Jed rejected his request after a long silence.

It's not difficult to understand. After all, even if Murphy is Old Jed's disciple, the other party would never put the entire organization in danger for just one person like him. That is something that a boss would never do.

However, after learning about the "other way" that Murphy mentioned, although he was still a little worried about his safety, Old Jed finally recognized the feasibility of this method and gave him help from his master.

"I'll have someone contact the guy you mentioned. Do as you wish. Don't worry about the chips or anything. The only prerequisite is that you ensure your own safety."

The above are Old Jed's original words. In fact, he originally wanted to go with Murphy in person, but Murphy finally firmly refused his help.

For the same reason, it is naturally better to take the risk alone than to put others in danger, and Old Jed is naturally included in the category of "others".

He was already satisfied to have him introduce him to Murphy. He didn't want his "old" master to go on an adventure with him, so he rejected the other party's proposal to take him along.

In the end, as planned, Murphy had to go alone to meet the slum ruler, who was either good or bad, but definitely a difficult person.

Just like he said before, since there is an underground king like Old Jed in Lars, there will naturally be similar characters in the slums of the royal capital.

This kind of thing is very common. Although the streets and slums in many countries and cities are lawless, it does not mean that those places are completely out of control.

Wherever people gather together, there must be people in power. They are called "bosses" and exist as the rulers of that area.

Although they are all bosses, Old Jed is fundamentally different from them because Old Jed has established a complete organization by his own means and can operate smoothly through self-sufficiency.

Unlike Old Jed, these slum bosses can only make profits by gathering all kinds of unscrupulous people.

Although they do establish organizations with certain functions, they usually use blood and violence rather than law and order to bind their subordinates' hearts and drain their wealth.

"What's going on over there? What did the boss here say?"

Old Jed left the slums on the night of the conversation. Before leaving, he handed over the task of helping Murphy introduce him to the slum lord.

And now another whole day has passed and it is already the second night.

After hearing Murphy's empty question, Wood nodded in a rhythmic manner, his fingers stroking the corners of his mouth, his sleepy eyes blinking non-stop, he seemed very sleepy now.

Even though he wanted to go to sleep, he still opened his thick lips and said, "She said yes. I guess it's because you, Brother Murphy, have been with Selena all the time that she became interested in you. After she knew you wanted to meet her, she immediately agreed."

"I don't care, so, that... uh, what was the boss's name?" These were words with some embarrassment. Although he had seen it before, Murphy suddenly forgot the boss's name.

This also caused the words he wanted to say to be interrupted and unable to continue.

Wood saw his predicament and immediately replied, "The mistress of the slums, her name is Helena Alvis."

"Thank you." Murphy nodded to Wood and continued where she had left off, "So Helena decided to meet me in order to make friends with the Master, is that right?"

The slums in the royal capital are quite large, so it is not surprising that there are several bosses. Wood and Selena are one of the forces, and Helena, whom Murphy is going to meet this time, is the one with the largest power in the slums.

However, influenced by their own experiences, the Wood brothers and sisters usually do not use those harsh means. Whether it is through transactions or inspections, they almost never resort to violence against their subordinates.

Therefore, although they successfully established a foothold in the royal capital, their influence in the slums was not that great at all - after all, in a chaotic place like the slums, the efficiency of investigation was far inferior to that of fists.

In fact, the Wood brothers and sisters and Helena are in a competitive relationship. After all, they are also the ones who divide the cake in the slums.

But the situation between the two forces is actually far from reaching the point of a full-scale fight, and they even cooperate to a certain extent.

After all, the slums in the royal capital are huge, and Helena has no need to stir up trouble for a little benefit, not to mention that the Wood brothers and sisters have old Jed backing them.

Old Jed's power is very strong, really very strong, otherwise he would not be able to develop power in other places at the same time.

Even though his power is in Lars, an extremely remote place, for bosses like Helena, if there is a chance to make friends, it is best not to make enemies for no reason.

For example: What if Helena's power suddenly collapsed one day, and her only retreat would be Lars, who was located on the border of the kingdom.

If he was on good terms with Old Jed, that was a given. Regardless of whether the latter would provide her with assistance, it was highly likely that he would not prevent her from surviving.

But if she ever became enemies with Old Jed for some benefit, wouldn't she be shooting herself in the foot?

So friends are definitely better than enemies. No one can guarantee that they will never need help from others, let alone someone as cautious as Helena.

This was probably the reason why she agreed to Murphy's request to meet him. It was an opportunity to make friends with the Wood siblings, or rather, with old Jed who stood behind them.

Although Wood didn't say it explicitly just now, this should be the fact.

In short, his success in meeting Helena this time was ultimately due to the help of old Jed. The conversation yesterday afternoon was for this moment.

"I think so too." Wood nodded in response to Murphy's question, obviously he thought so too.

While Wu and Murphy were playing a question-and-answer game, Selena, who was sitting beside them, had a tense face and her mouth turned to the side.

It is obvious that she is very unhappy now.

(More to come.)

Chapter 106 Eat it all

Murphy's decision came too suddenly.

And Selena could even guess: if old Jed hadn't told the brother and sister about this last night, they would probably still be kept in the dark by Murphy.

Considering Murphy's personality of not bothering others with anything unless it is necessary, this is the inevitable ending.

Selena was very unhappy.

Selena was unhappy not only because Murphy kept it from her. After all, this was not the first or second time. She still didn't know what Murphy did that night.

She was unhappy for another reason.

Although Selena knew that there was little possibility that Murphy's life would be in danger when he met Helena this time, she still didn't want her elder brother Murphy to meet that woman.

Because she is a bad woman, and this bad woman particularly likes young, handsome and capable men, and she will also——!

As one of the bosses of the slums, Selena naturally knew Helena. They had met before and had collaborated on certain matters.

Therefore, the negative comments mentioned above are not her fabrications, but real facts that almost everyone knows.

Even Helena herself didn't seem to care about these bad reviews. Even when people called her a "slut" behind her back, she would just secretly deal with those who said bad things about her and then continue to play with men as she pleased.

In Selena's eyes, Murphy is naturally a "young, handsome and capable" man. She thinks that the bad woman Helena will definitely eat her brother Murphy up after meeting him!

For Selena, this is a crisis comparable to death.

But...even though she was unwilling in her heart, Selena still did not stop Murphy's idea.

As I said before, she is an extremely sensible girl.

Compared to my own thoughts, Brother Murphy's thoughts are more important.

Therefore, in Murphy's eyes, Selena just showed an unhappy expression on her face without giving any explanation.

Ever since she learned about Murphy's thoughts from Old Jed last night, she has been like this.

Because she didn't get any explanation, Murphy could only guess what she was thinking.

After thinking for a long time last night, Murphy, who was lying in bed with Selena in his arms, finally came to a conclusion: the little girl was worried that he would be in danger of his life.

So after waking up early the next morning, he promised Selena that he would definitely pay attention to his own safety this time, and said that he was actually very strong now and was definitely capable of leaving safely if the situation was not good.

But perhaps because she had not demonstrated her strength, Selena did not quite believe this statement. She still had that unhappy expression on her face, and Murphy's comfort was ineffective.

This was the first time he failed to coax this little girl, and he felt helpless about it.

Throughout the entire day today, he could only stay with Selena to prevent her from becoming even more unhappy.

As for now, because they were talking about serious matters, and in front of Selena's brother instead of in her own little bedroom, Murphy naturally couldn't let Selena do anything too intimate.

Even though Wood might not care what he did to Selena, he had to restrain himself - he had consciously restrained himself since the day Selena rubbed his hands.

Even though he himself believed that Selena's intimate actions were a manifestation of her dependence on him and did not imply any relationship between a man and a woman, but even so... at least it had to be done in the room and not in front of others.

Murphy ignored Selena's resentful look and took a sip of the cheap beer that was a specialty of the slums. The pungent taste burned his throat, but it also helped relieve his sleepiness a little.

He gently put down his glass and asked, "Did the hostess say a specific time?"

"The meeting time is tomorrow night. They said that you, Brother Murphy, can go alone, but you can bring a few guards, but they can only meet outside the house." Wood thought about the information he got from his men and replied.

"In that case, we can just stop by while taking a walk." Murphy shook the long sword hanging at his waist and slowly stood up.

"I don't think I'll need any guards, but please send two people to meet me outside. I also need someone to lead the way."

After he finished speaking, he nodded to Wood, then extended his hand to Selena under his gaze: "It's time to go to bed."

He had to make up for all the things he hadn't done to Selena because of his conversation with Wood before going to bed that night.

If he couldn't get rid of it, he would have to break his own bottom line and go to bed with Selena in his arms, just like last night.

Last night, Selena had a very unhappy expression on her face and pulled Murphy onto her bed.

Murphy, who was worrying about how to comfort her at the time, did not stop her and half-heartedly followed her to lie on the bed.

In order not to make Selena even more unhappy, Murphy let her move her arms.

Fortunately, Selena didn't do anything strange. She just found a comfortable position and lay in Murphy's arms, and Murphy ended up sleeping with her in his arms all night.

After Murphy finished speaking, Selena was stunned for a moment when she looked at his outstretched hand, and then an uncontrollable happy smile appeared on her face.

Of course, this smile only lasted for a short time before returning to his previous expression.

She is still angry now!

She's not angry enough yet! She'll be angry for two more days!

But no matter how angry he was, he still had to hold Murphy's hand and go to sleep.

Selena jumped down from her seat obediently, took Murphy's hand with a strange expression that made her pretend to be unhappy on the upper half of her face but couldn't help but curl up the corners of her mouth, and let him take her back to the room.

"Good night, Wood." Murphy held Selena's hand and walked towards the bedroom with ease. When he reached the door, he suddenly turned around and looked back.

The person he was looking at was naturally Wood. Wood was still sitting at the dining table looking at this side, and the expression on his face was undoubtedly smiling, which formed a sharp contrast with the unhappy expression on his sister's face.

After noticing Murphy's gaze, Wood restrained his expression slightly, then showed the honest smile he had always had on his face, and said, "Good night, Brother Murphy."
