My villain wants to save himself, but the yandere heroine disagrees

"..." 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 leader is the one who

Virgil went to check out the place.

"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 and rushed towards Virgil quickly.

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.

(PS: I wanted to get up and write today, but I don’t know if it was because of the humidity or something else, I went to bed at 4: in the morning and didn’t wake up until o’clock today. I prepared to write after lunch in the afternoon, but I felt dizzy again. I didn’t have energy until o’clock. I managed to write K. I hope you don’t mind. Originally, I planned to finish writing this part of the story, but now I can only stop here.)

(Then there's the matter of owing updates and returning updates. From the beginning of January to now, I have updated a total of about 107K words. According to the standard update of 3K per day, today, the 13th, should be 39K, which means I have added about 68K words. The bounty I set before was 10000 rewards or 100 monthly tickets to add 2K words. As of now, there are a total of 20000 rewards and 1700 monthly tickets, which converts to 38K words. Even if you count the 20K from Yan Di last month, I still updated 10K more. Of course, I'm not asking for rewards or anything. I'm not qualified to ask for 4K a day. I'm just saying that I really haven't been lazy and I'm working hard to complete the bounty.)

(In addition, the text of this chapter is 4K words, and there is no extra charge for the extra PS)

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.

"It doesn't matter." Virgil shook his head, then grabbed the clothes of a man in black, tore them into strips, and then wrapped them around his shoulders.

"Just deal with it briefly."

At this moment, Virgil suddenly discovered that the man in black whose clothes he had torn off had a wolf head tattooed on his left arm.

Then he ordered all the men in black to be stripped of their clothes, and without exception, all of them had a wolf head tattooed on their arms.

Even the arm of the masked man that Virgil cut off had a wolf's head tattooed on it.

It seems that this should be a professional mercenary organization that was hired by others to capture Litt's adoptive parents. As for what they were captured for, there is no way of knowing.

It’s not that they are unwilling to capture people alive, but once these people lose their ability to fight, they will bite off the poison sacs in their mouths and drink the poison to commit suicide.

After examining several bodies and finding that there were no other problems with their bodies, Virgil nodded.

Then, he opened the curtain of the carriage and saw Andre and Jenny lying unconscious inside.

"Ah." Virgil sighed.

If it weren't for Lit, they would still be living in the countryside like farmers. Although they were not rich, and could even be said to be very poor, at least their lives were not in danger.

"Okay, send them back. I'll negotiate with them later."

As he spoke, Virgil jumped on his horse, turned his horse around, and led the soldiers towards the new city of Antica.

……

On the other side, the masked man turned over and entered the woods. Although his left arm was cut off, he still endured the severe pain in his body and walked towards the depths of the woods.

"Tsk, why were our actions discovered...is there a traitor among us?" He thought so without turning his head back.

They are members of the mercenary organization Iron Wolf Mercenary Group. Although there are countless mercenary groups with the word "wolf" in their names on the continent, the Iron Wolf Mercenary Group, which is able to possess sixth-level strongmen, is obviously one of the best among them.

Moreover, he is not the boss of the mercenary group, but only the second in command.

The real leader of the mercenary group has the strength of level seven.

However, for this mission, the team leader felt that it was a bit of an overreaction for him to lead the team personally, after all, it was just kidnapping two powerless people.

But the other party kept asking the team leader to take it seriously, so he had no choice but to send him to lead the team.

He did not take it seriously at first, until the client repeatedly urged him to do so, and then he made preparations, including scouting the surrounding area a week in advance and planning the best escape route.

But he didn't expect that even though he had done so much preparation, he was still discovered by the Duke's people.

It was obvious that they were just Leete's adoptive parents, and it should have been enough for the Duke to give them some money to settle them down. Unexpectedly, the Duke would actually arrange someone to protect their safety.

As a result, not only did he lose a lot of his brothers, he also almost lost his money.

Now the masked man only regrets that he did not listen to the client in the first place. If the plan had been more careful and the actions had been more cautious and careful, this incident would not have happened.

And
