Trampling on will and defiling dignity is the pleasure that only someone in power like her can get.

"You pointed a knife at me, so you should pay the price."

There was a dangerous glint in those narrowed light red eyes.

There was also an expression on her face that seemed like she was forcing herself to smile.

It certainly wasn't a smile.

It's just a false disguise, hiding the deep-seated madness.

Just as Murphy said before - Helena Alvis very vividly embodies the characteristics of the identity of "master" or "boss", and madness is always brewing in her mind.

If I have to put it simply.

Then the word "madman" is definitely the most appropriate description of her.

Chapter 120 The sneaky figure

"Good morning, Selena."

Murphy resisted the urge to fall asleep and greeted Selena who was slowly waking up.

She had just woken up, her eyes were half-closed and half-open, and she seemed a little confused.

After hearing Murphy's greeting, she just nodded and hesitated a few times, then continued to snuggle into the warm embrace.

This made Murphy feel helpless.

This was always the case when I slept with Selena.

But, silly girl, today is different.

When Murphy sighed in her heart, Selena also realized it.

She quickly opened her eyes, then hurriedly sat up and grabbed Murphy's hand, as if wanting to take him away from here.

Although Murphy's physique is not as exaggerated as Wood's, it is still not something that a little girl like Selena can pull.

Selena, who couldn't pull Murphy, became even more panicked. She hurriedly used her remaining hand to gesture to Murphy, and babbled something.

There was a frightened expression on that little face.

Murphy could tell from her face that Selena didn't seem to be having a good time these days.

He sighed, then sat up and, ignoring Selena's struggles, pulled her into his arms and held her tightly.

"Selena, it's okay, it's okay now."

"I'm here, I'm right beside you, there's no need to be afraid anymore."

Selena, who was struggling violently in Murphy's arms at first, slowly calmed down after hearing this reassuring and familiar voice.

Murphy didn't let go, but just kept holding her.

After a while, Selena raised her head over Murphy's shoulder and began to look around.

She breathed a sigh of relief when she realized this was her room and not the place where she had been imprisoned before.

It was only then that she noticed that she was held in Murphy's arms, and her face turned red.

However, she did not push away Murphy who was hugging her. Instead, she took the initiative to move closer and breathe in the scent of the other person.

Murphy did not refuse, but in order not to hurt Selena, he relaxed the strength of his arms a little.

After being so affectionate for a while, the two slowly let go.

Although Selena's face was already red, Murphy didn't care too much. This was just normal for him. After all, when they slept together every day, Selena always looked like this when she woke up in the morning.

And now he has a lot of questions in his mind, and Selena has gradually calmed down after his comfort.

Although asking those questions would bring back some bad memories, it was indeed a good time to answer some questions.

However, just when Murphy was about to ask Selena a question, he suddenly heard the sound of a door opening, which made him close his mouth.

Because Murphy never took his eyes off Selena, he could clearly see the worry in her eyes.

It seems that the sound of the door opening was not an auditory hallucination, because Selena seemed to have heard it too.

After a brief thought, Murphy smiled and said to her, "Selena, hide for a while. I'll go see what's going on."

"Don't worry, I'm just going to take a look. I'll be back soon. Maybe your trusted followers will bring back some good news."

"Of course, maybe there are guests coming over for dinner. If Wood isn't here, I'll have to do it. I hope they don't mind."

In order to prevent Selena from worrying too much, Murphy made another self-deprecating joke.

Then, without waiting for the other party to react, he immediately picked up Selena from the bed and put her into the secret passage under the carpet in the room.

Although he didn't know the final destination of this secret passage, Murphy did know that it existed.

Selena introduced him to her on the first day she moved in.

This was a secret passage that she and Wood had prepared a long time ago for escape in an emergency. There was also one in Wood's room.

I just don't know why they didn't use it when Helena sent people over.

Looking at Selena, who finally reacted in the secret passage and had an anxious expression on her face, Murphy just made a "hush" gesture and said, "Be quiet for a while, remember to lock the entrance, I'll be back soon."

Then, as if he was a little worried, he added, "Do you remember the code we agreed on earlier?"

Although she was extremely worried, Selena knew that she could not help at the moment.

So she finally nodded slightly to Murphy.

Murphy smiled at her gently, then said nothing more and closed the lid of the secret passage.

Then, after hearing the sound of a lock and confirming that Selena had locked the entrance, he pulled over the carpet used for camouflage.

The lock was locked from the inside out, and there was no way to open it from the outside of the secret passage. It could only be destroyed by force, but the door made of fine steel could not be broken in a short time.

If someone outside discovers this secret passage, they can only destroy it to open it.

When Selena hears the sound of the door being broken instead of the secret signal she set, she will definitely know to escape from here.

As for why I didn't go with them...it was naturally because I still had things to do and it was impossible for me to leave now.

And his words to comfort Selena just now were not just fake. What if the person outside really was a close confidant who came to deliver good news?

Murphy stood up and exhaled lightly, then walked lightly to the window and slowly climbed out.

Of course it is impossible to go through the door. After all, the people outside must have already entered the restaurant and may be lying in ambush at the door of this bedroom.

And if the person outside is a bad guy, you can climb out of the window and go back to the main entrance of the restaurant, maybe you can catch him off guard.

While thinking, Murphy had already walked around and looked inside from the door of the restaurant.

I don’t know, I’m scared.

A figure was now standing at the door of Selena's bedroom.

Because Selena's bedroom was located at a special corner, the figure looked a little unreal from this direction.

So I don’t know if it was an illusion, but Murphy always felt that the figure seemed a little sneaky.

Fortunately, I didn't come out of the door just now...

Thinking of this, Murphy carefully hid his body in the shadows and slowly moved closer.

Even though it was daytime and I wasn't wearing any special clothing, it didn't mean this wouldn't be useful.

(There are 1-2 chapters to come)

Chapter 121: Warning from the Master (6000 words)

Murphy carefully hid her body in the shadows and slowly approached the sneaky figure standing at the door of Selena's bedroom.

He had drawn his sword outside the restaurant so that no one inside would hear anything.

Fortunately, he was not wearing armor. Although it was only a very light half-body armor, it made quite a noise when he walked.

As he gradually approached, the figure that was originally not very clear at the corner gradually became clearer.

It was only then that Murphy realized that he actually knew the figure.

"Ah... Master, it's you. You scared me."

That's right, this sneaky figure is none other than his master—the one who lives in the slums and...

Oh no, it should be the long-missing old Jed.

Since he was a trustworthy person, there was no need to be on guard, so Murphy directly reminded him.

But for old Jed, this matter is not that simple.

After hearing Murphy's greeting, Old Jed was stunned - it was not difficult to understand, as he was a master of stealth, and with his ability, this was the first time someone had been able to get so close quietly.

And if Murphy hadn't said anything, he probably wouldn't have noticed it for a while.

This was an extremely rare thing for Old Jed, which was why he was stunned for a moment.

But he was old Jed after all, and the next moment, he reacted quickly and immediately drew out his dagger, turned around, and assumed a fighting stance.

Judging from the movements of his hands, it seemed that he was about to throw the dagger towards Murphy.

In fact, this was exactly the case, because he had already thrown the knife halfway, but he stopped it abruptly.

After seeing Old Jed stop, Murphy's subconscious dodging and blocking with the sword also stopped.

Fortunately, old Jed reacted quickly enough and stopped immediately after noticing it was Murphy.

Otherwise, even if Murphy managed to dodge the knife flying towards his head with subconscious movements, he would still be skinned.

In fact, the main reason was that Murphy trusted Old Jed too much. He never thought that the other party would draw a knife against him, so he didn't react immediately.

But now nothing unexpected has happened, which is good.

Just when Murphy breathed a sigh of relief and was glad that nothing happened to her, Old Jed rushed over angrily.

At the same time, he roared towards this side.

"Damn! What the hell do you want to do? You scared me!"

Looking at Old Jed rushing towards them with an angry face, Murphy also realized that he was probably in trouble this time.

So, just like he had done long ago, he lowered his head and closed his eyes, waiting for his master's teachings.

However, the rebuke he imagined did not come.

On the contrary, what reached his ears was the praise from Old Jed.

"Boy, you're doing great. Your skills are getting better and better. Even I didn't notice you approaching just now."

Hearing this, Murphy suddenly raised his head and looked at the other party in surprise.

"...Master? This——"

Before he could finish, Old Jed shrugged and interrupted him: "There's nothing surprising about this. I'm not an unreasonable person."

In fact, when Murphy sneaked up behind him just now, Old Jed did have the idea of ​​rushing to him and scolding him.

But it was only during that short distance that Old Jed calmed down again.

It can be said that he thought about a lot of things at that moment.

For example, as an insider of this series of events, or even the planner, he naturally knew why Murphy approached him quietly.

It is precisely because of those experiences that this kid still has a tense mind.

Therefore, the sudden arrival of me, an outsider, will definitely stimulate him.

For example, although he held a sword in his hand, it was definitely not prepared for himself, but for the possible invader - in fact, this was also himself, but it was a little different.

Because of this, Old Jed, who understood all this, did not scold Murphy, but praised him instead.

To be honest, Murphy's stealth ability is definitely worthy of his praise.

There is no doubt about this. After all, even he, as a master, did not realize that his apprentice had touched him so closely.

And in the final analysis, Murphy did nothing wrong this time.

Everything he did - including being on guard and greeting himself - were actually very reasonable behaviors, and it could even be said that he did it very well.

The reason why I was scared by him was simply because I knew there were no enemies here and I relaxed my vigilance. This was indeed my own problem.

Even when he felt angry at first, it was just because he wanted to vent his frustration at being outdone by his apprentice on the other person.

And as I said, I am not an unreasonable person.
