This is also the Duke of Antica's attitude towards the two.

It's the reward for all the hard work in raising Leeteuk.

The new city area has been partially built, and residents who feel that the old city area is crowded and messy have moved in one after another. The couple's bakery business has gradually prospered.

Early that morning, Andre went downstairs, hung up the business sign, and then went into the kitchen to get busy.

Jenny continued to rest for half an hour and then went downstairs to check on the store.

Jenny sat at the back of the shop, yawned out of boredom, then took out a book and started reading.

She was illiterate before, but after she got a windfall, her life became much easier and she often went to church to learn to read and write from the priest. The book in her hand was a doctrine given to her by the priest. The priest's original intention was to hope that she could learn and practice the doctrine in her future life.

Of course, Jenny treats it as a book to kill time in her free time while running the store.

At this time, a well-dressed young man with blue hair walked in from the door. As he walked into the store, he looked at Jenny with a smile.

"Hello, are you the owner of this bakery?"

"Oh, yes." Jenny nodded. "Sorry, the bread that was just baked today is still being baked, and most of the remaining bread is left over from yesterday's sales..."

She explained this because she saw the boy's clothes and thought he was a respectable person who would definitely not be willing to buy the leftover bread.

After all, the shelf life of most breads is only two or three days. A few hours after they are out of the oven, they will become dry and astringent and become unpalatable.

"It's okay, give me two loaves of bread left over from yesterday." Virgil said, looked at the price, and then took out a copper coin and handed it to Jenny.

“Okay.” Seeing that the other party didn’t mind, Jenny took out two loaves of bread from the shelf, wrapped them in paper and handed them to Virgil.

"By the way, Auntie." Virgil took the bread and suddenly asked, "Don't you have any children?"

"Ah..." Jenny was stunned when she mentioned the child, and then said: "We had a child before, but we picked him up during the war."

"A few months ago, the parents came to our house, gave us a large sum of money, and took the child back."

"Ah?" Virgil was stunned for a moment, then continued, "Well, don't you regret it? After all, you raised this child for so long, and he just took him away like that?"

"Oh, young man, to be honest, we are definitely not happy about it, but firstly, we used to be farmers, and the child has been living a hard life with us, we must feel bad inside, and secondly, the family background of his original parents is really good, the child has lived a hard life with us for so long, what's wrong with him going back to enjoy a better life."

"It is said that the love of parents is the most compassionate in the world. It seems that this is true." Virgil nodded with emotion after hearing this. "It seems that although you are not biological parents and children, you have done better than most parents."

"Alas, I've raised my child for more than ten years. There's no such thing as biological or not." Jenny sighed after hearing this. "It's also my own fault that I'm incapable of giving birth to a child."

"However, since you killed that wealthy family, I'm sure your children are living well." Virgil took a bite of bread and said.

"Yeah, that's for sure, but I'm still worried."

"worry about what?"

"She is a girl, and although she has been very sensible since she was young, I am still worried that she will be bullied in the family. After all, she has an older brother at home."

"..." Virgil paused when he heard this, then swallowed the bread in his mouth and asked, "What did you just say?"

"I said, my daughter..." At this time, Jenny also thought of something and quickly covered her mouth. "Look at me, I miss her so much that I can't even remember her gender."

"I see..." Virgil nodded after hearing this and silently kept this matter in mind.

No wonder Master Li Te is so dependent on Master Orson...

"So, has anyone been buying things from you recently?"

"Ah, yes." Jenny nodded after hearing that. "More and more people have moved here recently. Our store opened earlier, so there are more regular customers around."

"Okay." Virgil nodded. "I'll come back this afternoon to get two more loaves of bread. I want them fresh out of the oven. Please make an order for me and the boss."

"Okay." Jenny agreed after hearing that.

Then, Virgil walked out of the bakery.

Then he walked to the hotel nearby, booked a room and stayed there.

After that, he didn't leave the house until the afternoon, when he came to get some bread again.

At night, Andre and his wife closed the bakery and rested upstairs.

"Andre." Jenny came back upstairs and brought a bowl of mushroom soup to the dining table.

"what happened?"

Andre looked at Jenny with some confusion.

"The blue-haired guy today is the one who came to get the bread this afternoon."

"Ah, I've seen him before, he's a nice-looking guy, what's wrong?"

"I feel something is wrong." Jenny said this, expressing her concerns.

"He found me this morning and asked about our family affairs, and I accidentally told others about Litte."

"You say, could he be someone sent by the Duke?"

"What did you say to him?"

"I told you that Litt is a girl and she would be bullied if she went to a rich family."

"Oh, you stupid fool!" Andre said, getting angry. "Didn't you say that you wanted her to pretend to be a boy? Why are you betraying her now?"

"The main thing is, they didn't ask about Litte at first, they just asked if we had any children..." Jenny recounted the scene as she said this.

"It's okay, Andre, it's okay." Jenny said. "What if he is not from the Duke's side?"

"Besides, I heard that Litte is living well in the Duke's house. Her family treats her very well. Even if the Duke knows about it, it shouldn't be a problem."

"I know that, but you shouldn't tell anyone!" Andre sighed helplessly.

"Oh, I know you may think this is nothing, but what if the Duke suddenly gets angry and asks us why we lied to him in the first place? How should we respond?"

"Oh..." Jenny was a little anxious after hearing this. "Isn't it because the old housekeeper first brought it up? If he hadn't said that Litte was a boy, we wouldn't have thought of it..."

Just at this moment, there was a knock on the door downstairs.

"It's strange, who would come here so late at night?" Andre said this and went downstairs.

The knocking on the door became more and more urgent.

"I'm coming, don't rush me." Saying this, he opened the door.

When I opened the door, there was no one there.

"Damn it." Andre stuck his head out, looked around and found no one.

At this time, Jenny's voice was also heard from the stairs.

"Andre, what's wrong?"

"There was a knock on the door just now, but when I opened the door, I didn't see anyone outside." Having said this, Andre turned around.

And at that moment, he felt a huge force coming from behind his head, and then he fainted.

Jenny heard the noise at the door and walked faster. Then, she saw Andre fainted at the door and a man in black behind him.

“Then… well, who are you… why are you…” Jenny panicked for a moment, and then, she saw the man in black getting closer and closer. Just as she was about to call for help, she was knocked unconscious.

"Take them away." A masked man suddenly appeared behind Jenny. After saying this, the masked man signaled the man in black at the door to take the two away.

Then, several more people appeared at the door, took Jenny and Andre away, and then the masked man went upstairs, turned off the lights, creating the illusion that the two had fallen asleep, then walked out of the bakery and got into the carriage.

Just when the few people walked a few miles out of the city, suddenly, dozens of people appeared in front of them and blocked the way of the carriage.

The person in the lead was none other than Virgil, who went down to scout the area today.

"Which duke are you employed by?" Virgil said, smiling as he looked at the masked man on horseback. "You don't even dare to reveal your true face. It seems you're afraid that we'll recognize you."

"I advise you not to meddle in other people's business." The masked man said this and looked at Virgil with a fierce look.

"Do you want to think about whose territory we are in now?" Virgil said this and waved his hand, and then the soldiers behind him surrounded the carriage.

“……” The masked man looked at the situation around him in silence.

Although this group of soldiers looked well-trained, he was fully capable of breaking out of them with his sixth-level strength.

But in this case, the mission of capturing Andre and his wife would have failed.

Thinking of this, the masked man locked his eyes on Virgil, and then his body shot out like an arrow from a string, rushing towards Virgil.

past.

Unexpectedly, seeing this, Virgil simply took out the sword at his waist, and then swung it lightly, deflecting the attack he had planned. Although he did not completely block it, he made the attack deviate from its direction.

At the moment the masked man took action, all the men in black in the carriage came out, took out their weapons and confronted the surrounding soldiers.

Although they are not as powerful as the sixth level, they all have the strength of the third and fourth levels, and they still have some advantages when facing large numbers of soldiers.

Thinking of this, they decisively took action.

Seeing that a fight had already broken out on the side, the leaders of both sides would certainly not sit there and wait to die. When the masked man realized that his first attack failed, he lowered his body and carefully looked for Virgil's flaws.

But Virgil didn't care.

Although he looks elegant, humble and polite on the outside, everyone who knows him knows what he is like when he really fights.

He took a step forward and rushed towards the masked man.

Seeing that he was extremely fast and looked no weaker than himself, the other party quickly dodged back.

However, Virgil pursued him relentlessly, not wanting to let the masked man escape.

Helplessly, the masked man could only hold the dagger in his hand, trying hard to resist Virgil's violent attack.

Every move is fierce and every sword is soul-capturing.

But at the same time, under the crazy offensive, Virgil himself exposed a lot of flaws. If the masked man could be a little stronger, perhaps he could seize the flaw and end the battle quickly.

Unfortunately, Virgil's fighting style is almost invincible among his peers.

"Tsk, do you want to live?" The masked man became anxious when he saw that Virgil was fighting more desperately than himself.

He could see that although the men he brought with him were quite powerful, they were trapped in the army and fell into a disadvantage in an instant. If he did not get out quickly, he would be surrounded by others and would most likely die.

Then he heard a scream.

One of his subordinates was surrounded by the soldiers, and was chopped to the ground because he was outnumbered.

Something was wrong, and neither were the soldiers Virgil brought with him.

Among the empire's conscripts, most of the soldiers' strength is not even at the first level. After all, they are all farmers who were recruited temporarily. The difference lies in their physical fitness. The slightly stronger regular army is mostly at the first level. The second level can be considered as the stronger one among the regular army. Most of his subordinates are at the third or fourth level. If they are placed in the Adventurer's Association, they are also relatively good adventurers. Facing the enemy's encirclement, they should be able to hold out for a while. But now the situation...

Not long after the fight, a large number of their men had already fallen. It was obvious that the other side was not an ordinary regular army.

"You guessed right." Virgil saw the masked man's thoughts at a glance. "I brought with me the black army that Duke Lucius has fought for many years. The lowest soldier has the strength of the third rank. I'm sorry, but you will be defeated here today."

As Virgil finished his words, more and more screams were heard, and soon he was the only one left on the battlefield.

The masked man wanted to get away, but Virgil kept pestering him and he couldn't escape at all.

Other soldiers also gradually began to join the battle. If they delayed any longer, they would surely die.

Thinking of this, the masked man became ruthless and risked his life by stabbing Virgil's shoulder.

And Virgil didn't back down, slashing at the masked man's arm with his sword.

Then, one of the masked man's hands was chopped off, and Virgil's shoulder was cut with a deep wound that could be seen to the bone.

After that, the masked man no longer entangled with Virgil, but took a few steps out of the carriage, avoided the surrounding black army, and fled into the bushes nearby alone.

Chapter 7: Side Effects (K)

Watching the masked man running into the woods with his hands covered, Virgil simply waved his hand and ordered the soldiers not to chase him.

"Let's send the people back first." Virgil said.

"Captain Virgil, the wound on your shoulder..." At this moment, a soldier came over and asked worriedly.
