Life has dealt a heavy hand to a weak demigod like me.

"She and her brother must need a professional to comfort them at this time."

"They'll be even more worried if you're away all the time."

Floys was stunned for a moment, then nodded quickly. "Antilia, you reminded me! That's exactly the truth!"

"Hurry, hurry! Let's go back quickly!"

"Otherwise, little Melnadette would be worried without me!"

Looking at Floyd who was running forward with a few people, Morin who was following him couldn't help but give Antilia a thumbs up.

Dral is crazy, but not stupid.

He acted very cautiously.

Before planning the explosion, the barriers and other things had already been prepared.

They were able to discover it only because this was the main route to the manor, and the way Delar confused the senses and led others to bypass this place attracted Morin's attention, and then they came over.

The sound of explosions here cannot be heard at all, at most some sporadic flames will attract people's attention.

But this place is so far away from Rocks Manor. According to Floyds, there are no extraordinary people in that manor. How could they possibly discover the situation here?

"Anyway... there's no need to continue building roads and planting trees~" Antilia smiled, and this smile made Morin quickly turn his head to the other side.

"Well~ little Morin, don't be so shy~ you know my sister just broke up, maybe we can..." As she spoke, Antilia couldn't help but put her hand on Morin's body.

The other party shuddered, then quickly increased his speed.

Looking at Morin's somewhat embarrassed figure, Antilia couldn't help but reveal a bright smile on her face, although she was not happy at the moment.

Although it was early, Barton had already gotten up early to arrange his affairs for the day.

When he saw the people following Floyds, the expression on his face became serious.

"Hometown... Barton, these are the friends I told you about before."

"Look, if there's nothing else, just arrange a room for them." Floyd said carelessly.

"As I told you before, this matter requires the consultation of Mr. Rocks."

"They can only stay here with his consent."

Barton could make his own decisions on ordinary guard matters, but when it came to extraordinary matters, no matter how much authority Charles gave him, he would give it back.

It is not uncommon for big businessmen to hire extraordinary people, and it is also not uncommon for big businessmen to be betrayed by the extraordinary people they hire for the sake of profit.

How to hire some trustworthy extraordinary people is a matter that should be judged by the master, not by oneself.

"Then take us to see your so-called Mr. Lockes as soon as possible." Arthur said listlessly. He was not very interested in this kind of thing.

But having agreed to it, he would not go back on his word.

Isn't it just being a guard?

"The gentleman hasn't stood up yet, so..." As he spoke, Barton kept looking carefully into the eyes of several people.

Of course, several people understood this little trick.

Just a simple test.

"We came too early." Morin said indifferently.

Wait, it’s not a big deal, and they will do what they promised Floyds.

He applied to be the guard of Rocks Manor, with weekly salary and accommodation. If the application was unsuccessful, he swore that Floyd would definitely let them build a small house nearby to secretly protect the girl named "Mernadette".

In comparison, Mo Lin felt that being a bodyguard was better, at least he had money~

"Then please go to the reception room and wait for a moment. If you haven't had breakfast, you can tell me your wishes."

"As for the residence, I had made some preparations before Mr. Floys told me about you."

As he spoke, Barton had already brought a few people to the reception room. After arranging for the maid to take care of them, he returned to his post.

Although he noticed the arrival of several people, Charles still got up slowly as usual.

After washing up with the help of the maid, he slowly had breakfast with Mernadette before meeting a few people in the reception room.

"Since he is the person brought by Mr. Froyce, I naturally trust him." After just a few words, Charles decided on this matter.

Although the arrival of several people was dispensable to him, it was a good thing overall - some of the vests he made might allow him to hide for a while longer.

"I did think about recruiting some new extraordinary people to protect this manor before, but it would be a bit difficult to recruit only Mr. Floys alone."

"Now that you're here, some things will be much simpler."

"Mr. Floys, it's up to you to arrange it."

"Every day, one or two people follow Mernade to protect her, one follows me to protect me, and the remaining one stays to protect this manor."

"Sir..." Patton on the side wanted to say something. After all, he trusted Floyd too much in his arrangements.

Most noble families are not afraid of the thoughts of their subordinates because they control great power and resources, but Ciel...

"Don't worry, if Mr. Floyd really wants to do something, there's no way I can escape unscathed. There's no need to find some helpers."

Floyd's identity has spread.

He knows it now and it “makes sense.”

From an ordinary person's perspective, all he can do is accept or reject.

And acceptance will allow him to soar to new heights in some aspects.

Anyone with a little ambition will try to do something.

That is to subdue this madman.

And Charles is playing this role now.

"Mr. Floyd?" Barton was a little confused. However, in front of the others, he didn't say much. After Charles spoke, he stood silently behind him.

A smart guy with a bit of ambition...

This was Arthur and Antilia's first impression of Charles.

But this kind of thing has nothing to do with them.

The person they promised Floyds to protect was Mernadette, and Charles... in their minds, he was probably just a tool.

Whatever he was thinking, they didn't care.

"That's great!"

"Mr. Rocks, don't worry. Although these guys have strange tempers, we will definitely protect Mernade with them around."

Floyd didn't think about anything. After hearing what Charles said, he patted Arthur's shoulder happily and said to Charles excitedly.

A hint of helplessness appeared in Charles' eyes at the right moment. Then he nodded at him and stood up to leave.

Chapter 132: Stealing Thoughts, Storms Rise

"I'm going to my room to sleep. You can divide the work among yourselves." After Charles left, Antilia patted Barton's shoulder gently and motioned him to lead the way to her room.

Floyds and the others nodded. After Patton left, Arthur asked, "So what are your plans for today?"

"You must be going to protect that little girl."

"Antilia is sleeping here to protect this manor."

"Then Mo Lin, who among us will follow that person?"

"Come to think of it, do we really have to do what he says?" Arthur looked a little amused.

Floyds only asked them to protect Mernadette, but Charles was not among them.

Although he is the employer in name only, to be honest, he doesn't care about the money.

"Of course, I think what that guy said makes sense." Floyds didn't have any thoughts. "Little Melnadette will definitely be very happy with him around."

His words made Arthur put away some of the little thoughts in his mind, and then he turned around and looked at Maureen.

"I'll go and protect that gentleman." A slight smile appeared on Morin's face.

"Eh? Aren't you more interested in the little girl who charmed Floyd?" Arthur asked curiously.

Along the way, Morin showed his interest in Mernadette many times, and he almost got into a fight with Floyd because of her.

Now...why did you suddenly "fall in love with someone else"?

"Because I think that gentleman is very interesting too~" Morin's voice sounded a little happy, and the smile on his face became more intense.

"Interesting? Isn't that just a very ordinary person?"

"Because of my sister, I was attracted to Floyds, and then we were born. After discovering Floyds's identity, I began to have some thoughts that I shouldn't have had."

"For Floyd's sake, I won't mind him using our name to further his own interests. But if he gets into trouble and has to clean up the mess, I definitely won't do it."

"After all, I don't really plan to be his bodyguard." Arthur complained like a nagging woman.

But Morin refuted his words.

"Uncle Arthur, you guessed wrong~"

"He is definitely not as simple as you said."

"Maybe he was just putting on an act to make you mistakenly believe that he was thinking and doing that." Thinking of Charles's expression just now, Morin felt more energetic.

I don't know what Ciel is hiding, but...it's definitely something very interesting.

He swore by the experience he had gained from joining in the fun countless times!

"Tell me in detail." Arthur calmed down, recalled the scene of meeting Charles just now, and then asked Morin.

"There is no fear in his eyes~" Morin said in a light tone.

fear?

What fear?

Arthur was stunned at first, then he suddenly realized.

"Honestly, I haven't noticed it yet."

"There was no fear in this guy's eyes when he faced us from beginning to end."

"It's okay for me, Morin, and Antilia. But facing this Brother Floys, a former lunatic... he looks at me like an ordinary person. That's a problem."

Arthur knew how bad Floyd's reputation was in the Kingdom of York, especially in Moroston.

Most extraordinary people would show fear on their faces when they saw him from afar.

Just like the expressions Theresa and Sif showed towards Floys when Charles and the others first went to the orphanage to look for Mernadè.

Although they finally suppressed their fear and followed Charles into Mernadè's room.

But after that, the two of them didn't dare to go out alone no matter what.

And what about Charles?

As Floyd's employer, when he saw Floyd, he really thought of him as an ordinary bodyguard.

Anyone who knew a little about Floyd's reputation, let alone a rich lecturer, would probably be a little afraid of Floyd, even Endsworth who lived next door to Shire.

"Maybe it's because this guy has lived here for a long time, and that guy is used to and understands his current situation?" Arthur guessed.

"Even if someone with mental problems is cured and discharged, people around them will still look at them with habitual eyes." "What's more, although Brother Floys's condition has improved, who can say he is truly normal?"

Arthur shook his head thinking about Floyd's behavior yesterday.

No matter how much he disguised himself, Floyd was still a madman.

It's impossible not to be exposed.

In this case, most people would regard his behavior as another form of madness rather than thinking that he is well.

But Charles's look just now was so normal.

Maybe this guy Morin is right.

Arthur scratched his hair, feeling that his brain was probably burned by what happened yesterday.

He wasn't as slow as he is now before.
