After my rebirth, Miss Saint turned evil

And who knows if Helena will break her promise and tell others about this matter? If she tells Patrick, then the other party will be able to easily identify her identity, and then she will really not be able to escape.

"Okay, just a little curious." Helena shrugged nonchalantly, as if she was just really curious.

Just as Murphy bowed slightly to thank Helena for her understanding, she continued, "Anyway, no matter what your reason is, it won't affect our cooperation."

Hearing this, Murphy's heartbeat even quickened unconsciously.

It has to be said that being able to reach cooperation so easily was beyond his expectations.

However, on the surface, he still looked indifferent, as if he didn't care at all whether this cooperation would be successful.

He nodded and said calmly: "Then regarding the specific matters——"

"But..." Murphy didn't finish his words because Helena laughed softly and interrupted him.

Murphy suddenly had a bad feeling. Usually, when you hear the word "but" on the eve of the end of something, nothing good will happen.

His hunch was right.

Seeing him shut his mouth and stop talking, Helena narrowed her eyes and smiled even more happily.

"I have something to ask of you—"

"It's just a very easy commission."

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

After listening to Helena's commission, Murphy pondered for a while.

Then, he sighed in his heart, nodded and agreed: "Okay, Miss Helena, I agree."

Helena raised the corners of her mouth in satisfaction when she heard this, and then she waved gently at Carnegie.

Carnegie, who was standing beside her, nodded in understanding. He walked to the corner of the room, took out a bottle of red wine from the groove in the wall, poured some into two high-heeled glasses, and then came back with the tray.

Murphy couldn't recognize the brand, but he could tell it was a bottle of expensive and fine wine.

Helena took a cup from the tray and said, "Well, may I wish you all the best for a successful cooperation?"

"Of course, I promise to give you a satisfactory answer."

Murphy also took the remaining wine glass, raised it in Helena's direction, and then watched her move her throat to drink the wine that was as bright red as the blood of civilians.

Murphy didn't drink it himself, he just held the goblet filled with red wine in his hand.

This is necessary caution. Although it is unlikely that Carnegie could add anything to it under his supervision, it is still better to be careful.

Helena, who had finished her glass, saw this scene but said nothing. She just smiled softly and said to Carnegie beside her, "Send him out."

"Yes, Miss Helena."

"Goodbye, Miss Helena." Murphy also bowed slightly to Helena.

Then he turned around and followed the tall and slender figure out of the room.

Helena, who was sitting on the big sofa, looked at the two people's backs as they left, her eyes flickering with light that sometimes flickered.

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

Helena, wearing a fur coat and holding a pipe in her hand, stood by the window.

She looked down quietly at the man below who had retrieved his sword and left his mansion.

"Miss Helena, Mr. Gerard is here." Following the sound of a door opening, Carnegie's voice came from outside the door.

The next moment, another voice appeared: "How do you feel?"

The voice suddenly appeared behind Helena. It sounded a little old, but full of energy.

The key point is that the sound was quite close to her.

If the owner of the voice was an assassin who wanted to kill her, Helena would have died seven or eight times by now.

However, Helena did not show any panic. After hearing this question, she thought about it for a while.

Then, as if she understood what the question was about, Helena's small lips opened slightly and spoke.

"You mean that man? Your disciple?"

The slender pipe shook gently. Helena did not look back, but exhaled a sweet white breath, like a sigh.

"As for me, I can tell at first glance that he's probably just an ordinary person, with low self-esteem, pretentiousness, and no fun at all."

When she said this, her expression changed slightly, revealing a look of some doubt.

She turned around, looked at the black eyepatch and the single eye that held a hint of anticipation, and said, "Is there something wrong? But... he doesn't seem to be a good scammer."

Helena seems to be a little troubled now, but even so, her beautiful look is still not ruined.

Rather, her troubled expression even made people want to protect her.

(This is the second update from yesterday)

Chapter 112 Helena's Commission

Murphy took back his sword from the shirtless butler, and then left the mansion that belonged to Helena Alvis under the leadership of the other three handsome butlers.

He got on the carriage he had taken when he came here. The driver was not Bray, but two other rats whose names he did not know - they seemed to be Selena's own subordinates trained in the royal capital.

As mentioned before, Helena allowed Murphy to bring people over, but they could only stay outside the mansion.

So Selena lent these two people to Murphy, asking them to be responsible for Murphy's itinerary during this negotiation and to protect his safety on the road.

Well, although Murphy himself felt that it was completely unnecessary, after all, with the strength of these two people... he could knock them down with one hand.

In fact, Selena originally wanted Wood to come over, after all, his strength was really strong, but he did not come in the end because Wood was a timid guy.

Murphy was also aware of this, so he didn't get involved in it.

"Brother Murphy, do we want to go back to Big Sister Selena now?" A mouse sitting in the front... let's call him Mouse A, turned around and said.

Although Selena is an underage girl, as someone she personally trained, the mice still call her the big sister.

As for Mouse A's question, Murphy just shook his head: "I'm not going back there. Send me to Leinburg. I have things to do."

"What——!" Mouse A showed a surprised expression on his face. He seemed to want to say something, but the...well, Mouse B sitting next to him held him back and prevented him from saying anything.

Then, Mouse B turned around and said, "Okay, Brother Murphy."

Although what Brother Murphy said conflicted with the Big Sister's previous arrangement of "sending Brother Murphy back after the matter is over."

But at the same time, Sister Selena also told them that what Brother Murphy said was what she said, and they just needed to obey his orders.

Adhering to the principle of proximity, Mouse B chose to obey Murphy's orders.

For the mice, all they have to do is do what they are supposed to do.

Don’t ask questions that you shouldn’t ask, otherwise you might be punished by the big sister at any time.

Obviously, Mouse B should be an old man in the organization. Compared with him, Mouse A seems like a young man who has just joined the organization.

"But...Brother Murphy, it takes at least three days to get to Leinburg one way. We need to send someone to notify Big Sister Selena."

Mouse B paused for a moment and continued, "But in that case, your safety..."

"Go ahead, I'm fine."

Murphy shook his head. He had no intention of hiding it from Selena. He just wanted to complete Helena's task as soon as possible to avoid any trouble.

After all, the day of conflict was getting closer, and he wasn't sure if he could catch up if he delayed for a few more days.

Although Helena said there was still nearly a week and a half left, it would be better to deal with it sooner rather than later.

And he really doesn't need protection, so it doesn't matter if there is one more or one less of these two people.

After seeing Murphy agree, Mouse B no longer hesitated. The bosses will not think you are so outstanding just because of your concern.

On the contrary, they will just think you talk too much.

Mouse B immediately drove Mouse A off the carriage and asked him to go back and inform Selena, while he took Murphy away from the slums of the royal capital.

This is not about trying to take credit, but about taking the initiative to help the newcomer take responsibility.

Because if something really happened to Murphy on the way, he, as the person responsible for sending Murphy, would definitely bear the primary responsibility.

As the carriage slowly started, Murphy also slowly exhaled.

————A batch of weapons and protective gear were transported from the outskirts of Leinburg to the slums.

This was Helena's commission, and Murphy was the person she assigned to escort her.

If I have to say, this is usually an escort request given to adventurers.

But Murphy understood Helena's intention of asking him to do it.

Although this is a world where weapons and armor can be made at will, there is a prerequisite - limited quantities.

It is indeed possible to purchase weapons and armor as an individual.

But if it is purchased in large quantities, it will easily arouse suspicion among prosecutors.

After all, who knows what you're going to do with these weapons? What if you want to arm rebels to overthrow the regime?

This is a shady commission.

So logically speaking, such matters are usually handed over to trusted people to avoid any changes.

Because if strange rumors arise, they will be targeted by the prosecutors in the royal capital, and then it will be troublesome.

But Helena gave it to Murphy because she was not worried that Murphy would betray her.

If Murphy really did this, Helena would definitely say: These weapons were sent by Murphy, and she didn't know what he wanted to do.

As for why I let him into the slums...he wanted to break in, could I stop him?

That's why Helena asked Murphy to do this. This was a strategy of those in power.

And it's an open conspiracy.

But Murphy couldn't refuse.

Of course he knew it was a trap, but he had to accept the commission.

For Helena, this commission is a ritual, as it is for most slum bosses.

In the slums, the bosses usually provide some simple jobs such as carrying goods to those who seek cooperation or want to join.

If someone steals something or simply picks up a backpack and runs away, the bosses will no longer accept them and will directly deal with them if they have the chance.

In a transaction or commission, the most important thing is never the ability of the person accepting the commission, but his credit.

Those who betray their credit will definitely not get the opportunity to trade or cooperate, so those who cannot accumulate any credit will not even have the possibility of surviving in the slums.

Helena's implication was that if you want to establish cooperation with me, you must first accumulate enough credit.

So no matter how time-consuming this commission is or how much it looks like a trap, Murphy has no choice but to do it.

This kind of thing was very common, because Murphy had experienced it when he was with Lars, so it was not difficult for him to accept it.

He hesitated before whether to accept it because he was worried about getting Selena into trouble, but after thinking of a solution, he immediately agreed.

Frame-up is not something that can be done by just one person. Compared to Murphy, a lone man, the threat posed by Helena Alvis, the mistress of the slums and the thorn in the side of the Knights of the Royal Capital, is obviously much greater.

As for whether the Royal Capital Knights would take advantage of this opportunity to overthrow Helena, that was not his concern.

After all, Helena hasn't broken off relations with him yet, so what I just said may not happen.

His current task is to complete the commission as soon as possible and then reach a cooperation with Helena.

Chapter 112.5: Chat in Helena's Bedroom

Time goes back to the day when Murphy left Helena's mansion.

After hearing Helena's answer with a troubled expression, Old Jed burst into laughter.

It was unclear whether he was mocking Helena or was satisfied with the other party's evaluation of his apprentice.

"Is it funny?" Helena glanced at the unromantic old Jed.

However, when she did this action, she looked very charming.

Old Jed grinned broadly at Helena, showing his teeth, and said, "Of course, it turns out that it's not just me, with my 'Eagle Eyes', who can't see through that guy. Even you, with your 'Snake Eyes', can't."

Snake eyes do not mean that Helena's eyes look like snake eyes, but that anyone she stares at will feel as if there are poisonous snakes climbing and entwining their bodies, just like Murphy felt before, so she got this nickname.

"Don't call me that!" Helena glared at Old Jed, but the other continued to laugh unmoved.
