After my rebirth, Miss Saint turned evil

The mansion of Helena Alvis, the slum mistress, is a mansion with an unimaginable layout.

Needless to say, the mansion itself is of a terrifying size. What is unimaginable is that it even has a separate large courtyard.

Generally speaking, when talking about housing in slums, the first impression is probably that of houses made of rotten wood and mud that make creaking sounds, and this is indeed the case.

Even the slightly better houses are mostly like Wood's restaurant. Even if they don't creak, the walls will be covered with ugly ivy and many cracks, making them look like they are about to collapse.

But here, at Helena's mansion, there was no sign of that.

Because the material used to build this mansion should be some kind of red brick of fairly good quality.

In fact, judging from the appearance alone, this house is not very luxurious and is very different from the residences of those nobles.

But... in what way? In short, this mansion has a structure that gives people a sense of solidity.

Murphy took a deep breath, composed herself a little, and then greeted the guard who was standing in front of her and looking at her.

At first, the guard questioned Murphy with a serious face when he came here, but the guard did not mean to make things difficult for him. After he answered "I have an appointment with Helena", the guard let him pass.

Obviously, Helena should have informed her subordinates in advance.

This guy actually hired a gardener. He's really rich. I'm afraid he's even richer than the local nobles...

Murphy had such an exclamation because he was walking on a small path in the courtyard of the mansion.

He looked around and saw that the lawn and plants in the courtyard looked as if they had just been trimmed, keeping them beautiful and tidy.

Whether a noble or a merchant, a garden is an indicator of a person's wealth.

Generally speaking, the courtyards of declining houses are always overgrown with weeds.

This beautiful courtyard is a clear symbol of the hostess's power, status, and wealth.

Looking at this courtyard that seemed to be showing off something, Murphy was becoming more and more worried about what would happen after she met Helena.

To him, those in power other than Old Jed were a bunch of bad guys, most of whom had all sorts of bad habits.

And the results of these meetings with those in power are mostly a mess.

This was the experience he gained from his past training with the brave team and after being "baptized" countless times by those in power.

So even if it was just a premonition, even if Helena wanted to make friends with Old Jed, he still felt that something unpleasant might happen today.

He had felt this way before, but he didn't say it in order not to worry Selena.

In fact, there was another reason, which was that he felt that this sounded like some kind of boring excuse that he made up just because he was afraid and didn't want to go.

Just thinking about it made him unable to speak in front of Selena anymore.

Otherwise, if any timidity was detected, Selena would definitely find ways to stop him.

Murphy followed the handsome man in butler's clothes through the courtyard and along the corridor, and was then brought into a somewhat simple room.

He stayed in the room for a while, but the most important hostess did not show up.

Murphy went out at night, but judging from the current situation, it might be dawn by the time he returns.

In fact, this is one of the reasons why Murphy hates people in power - calling people over and making them wait for several hours.

Those who have no power can only wait patiently without any complaints.

As for a lowly civilian like him, there is no need to mention it.

Well, this is also his experience.

Although there's a desire to befriend him, it doesn't seem that urgent, does it? I guess so, otherwise he wouldn't have kept me waiting this long...

Murphy sat in the room. After thanking the second handsome young butler for pouring tea for him again, he began to unconsciously analyze the current situation.

For him, Helena's delay in showing up was not a good situation.

This shows that although the other party has the desire to make friends, it is definitely not urgent.

As for showing off her power...it shouldn't be necessary. Helena has absolutely no reason to do so.

The situation was very unfavorable for him because it was he, not Helena, who had the urgent need, and the other party had already taken the natural initiative.

Even with the chips promised by Old Jed, it was still difficult to get the cautious Helena to agree to his conditions.

Thinking always takes time. After an unknown amount of time, Murphy heard a very harsh voice.

The door was opened.

Then, another young man's voice echoed in the room: "Mr. Murphy, I'm sorry to have kept you waiting. Miss Helena wants to see you."

Murphy's eyelids lifted slightly, with obvious fatigue in her eyes.

He looked at the third handsome butler who appeared at the door, sighed and nodded.

-------------------------------------

Led by the fourth butler, a burly man who was also handsome and shirtless despite being of the same age, Murphy finally entered a room deep within the mansion.

There, he met the legendary slum hostess, Miss Helena.

Because the lights were not on, the room was a little dim, but this was not a big problem for Murphy, who had good night vision.

He could see the scene in the room clearly, including the figure lying on the big sofa, with long, slightly curly light red hair and shrouded in sweet fragrance.

That person was Helena, without a doubt.

Although the clothes she wore were very revealing and looked like they were made of very little fabric, they were definitely not cheap.

Judging from the bright and brilliant appearance, this dress must have been made of a large amount of precious materials such as silk and gold thread.

Moreover, the decorations on her body were also very gorgeous, showing luxury everywhere. The brilliant colors even made Murphy, who was looking at that side, feel dizzy.

How much would these things cost...Murphy began to think unconsciously.

After a simple calculation, he came to a very terrifying conclusion: the clothes and decorations Helena was wearing now probably far exceeded the annual income of people in the slums.

Just by meeting him for the first time, you can tell how huge the wealth behind this person is.

(This is the third update I've posted, and also the second update today.)

Chapter 108: Mockery

The value of the clothes and decorations on Helena Alves' body is probably more than the annual income of people in the slums.

But this is actually still within the scope of imagination.

After all, rich people are almost all alike. They live luxurious lives and do everything to show off their authority and wealth.

Murphy was well aware of these "unspoken rules" of rich people's living habits, so what surprised him was not the priceless clothes and decorations, but Helena Alvis's appearance.

Helena has a pair of bright red eyes, and the smoothness of her facial skin is visible to the naked eye.

From these two points alone, Helena's image is completely different from the old woman that Murphy had imagined before.

On the contrary, she is very young.

Judging from the first glance, Helena looks much older than Ella or Filia, probably between 27 and 30.

But if compared with other bosses, she is really too young.

Generally speaking, those who can become slum bosses are basically older people. This is common sense that everyone can understand.

But Helena was completely different. Despite her age, which was far from the "standard", she became the most powerful boss in the slums of the royal capital.

I'm afraid he's a difficult guy to deal with... Murphy sighed in his heart. If he could be an ally, it would naturally be a good thing.

However, if it is during the negotiation stage before becoming an alliance, such a powerful negotiating partner can be a rather troublesome obstacle.

While Murphy was still lamenting the difficulty of the task, Helena Alves had already taken the long pipe from her lips and said, "It's... Murphy? Right? Hmm~~ He looks... a bit shabby."

There was a hint of a smile on Helena's face, as if she was commenting on something. Her fox-like eyes narrowed slightly, and she looked at Murphy without any hesitation.

This is a kind of assessment from the superior to the inferior.

Although Murphy came as a member of Selena and Wood's side, his status was indeed not as good as Helena, the slum hostess, and he was one level lower.

So, in theory, there was nothing wrong with Helena looking at him like that, but Murphy didn't like these eyes. He always felt like he was being stared at by something strange, and he had a very uncomfortable feeling.

However, he did not show any sign of abnormality on the surface - because if he got stage fright now, things would only become more troublesome later.

As if responding to Helena's gaze, Murphy met her gaze without fear.

Perhaps surprised by Murphy's calmness, Helena raised her eyebrows slightly and sighed, "Interesting."

She seemed to have given up on teasing and went straight to the point, asking Murphy, "...So, what are you doing here? If you just wanted to see me, you would have seen it by now."

These words were like an order to leave, but there was no impatience in Helena's tone. Instead, there was a hint of smile.

It seems that she has a good influence on Murphy.

"Are you interested in a win-win cooperation?" Murphy said bluntly.

"Pfft."

It was a laugh, no doubt about it.

After hearing Murphy's words, Helena laughed out loud. She laughed so loudly that her light red hair kept rising and falling as she laughed.

After a long time, the laughter finally died away, and Helena stopped laughing.

However, when she looked at Murphy's face, she would look away again, and then laugh softly as if she thought of something funny.

Although she didn't laugh out loud, and the expression on Helena's face didn't look very real in the dim room, her shoulders were indeed shaking slightly.

Murphy looked at Helena calmly, without any expression and without any anger in his heart.

The current situation was also what he expected. A small-time figure actually said in front of the slum hostess that he wanted to cooperate with her.

If he hadn't been the one who did this, he would probably have laughed out loud when he heard the news.

Murphy waited patiently, and finally Helena calmed down.

Although she was still breathing lightly because she laughed so hard before.

"Huhu, you man...really-" Helena put her finger on her lips and thought for a while, not knowing whether she was deliberately doing it with the intention of behaving like that, or if it was simply a natural habit.

In short, Murphy felt that this action seemed a little coquettish.

After a while, as if she had thought of a suitable adjective, Helena laughed and continued, "--What a confident man. Are you really not joking when you say this?"

"Or are you teasing me?"

As she said this, Helena's slender, light red eyes narrowed slightly.

In this dim room, Murphy could clearly see that there was a dangerous light flashing in the other person's eyes.

Murphy shook her head slightly and said seriously, "Miss Helena, I am serious."

"Okay, although I really want Carnegie to kick you out." Along with Helena's words, an old man with a wrinkled face but a tall and straight figure appeared.

He was wearing a black suit and slowly emerged from the darkness in the corner of the room. He walked silently to Helena who was lying on the big sofa and said, "Miss Helena, what can I do for you?"

Murphy turned her head slightly and looked at the old man named Carnegie, with no expression on her face.

In fact, he had noticed this guy as soon as he entered the room. Although he hid very well, he still couldn't hide it from his eyes.

But Murphy never looked in that direction. He chose to ignore that direction and kept his eyes on Helena.

Before the outcome of the matter is finalized, it is best to hide your strength unless it is necessary.

Just like he had previously asked Wood not to reveal to Helena that he was Old Jed's apprentice.

Of course, Murphy knew why Helena called Carnegie out at this time - to give herself a warning and to show her her power.

If you dare to play tricks on me, I will kill you.

That's roughly what it means, the words are full of violence and blood.

This is one of the common tactics used by the slum bosses and is also their habit of showing off their power.

Chapter 109 If You Aren’t Playing With Me

The old butler named Carnegie stood beside the big sofa, staring at Murphy expressionlessly.

It has to be said that although Carnegie was not tall and strong but rather slender, he did look oppressive in this situation.

But Murphy was not afraid, instead he felt relieved.

After all, this was the first man he had seen in this mansion who was not a handsome young man.

"Well, I really want to ask Carnegie to kick you out." This is what she said before, and then Helena said: "But... tell me, I'll give you a chance."
