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

The mission I gave to the Iron Wolf Mercenary Group was only to kidnap Lit's adoptive parents. Was it necessary for the city defense force to wipe out the Iron Wolf Mercenary Group for such a thing?

No matter how close the relationship between the Stranik family behind Litt and the royal family is, it is impossible to mobilize the city defense forces to take direct action.

"Damn it!" Rody cursed again. "I told them a long time ago to be more careful. Although Lit is fine, Orson behind him is a big trouble. But they didn't listen. Now they have been arrested."

"If you had listened to me and let Mudrick go directly, there wouldn't be so much trouble."

Roddy waited here for a few more minutes, but still didn't see Mudrick.

Not to mention Mudrick, not even a living member of the Iron Wolf Mercenaries could be seen.

It is estimated that after Mudrick learned the news, he had already fled out of the city with his brothers to seek refuge.

Rody thought so.

However, what he didn't know was that Mudrick had not sought refuge outside the city at all. Now he had become a corpse and was being studied by experts hired by the royal family.

Then, just as he was about to turn around and report to his master, he was stunned.

Standing behind him was the assassin who had just greeted him, and next to the assassin was the young man with black hair, purple eyes, tall stature and handsome face. He was Orson, whom his master had asked him to do everything possible to get rid of.

"Hey, boss, this is the man I brought for you." The assassin said, pointing at Orson next to him. "I helped you capture Orson."

Lodi looked at the assassin and then at Orson.

I thought to myself, do you think I'm a fool? Then I turned around and ran away without looking back.

However, before he could run far, the assassin overtook him with his speed and stood in front of him.

"Boss, don't be impatient." The assassin said, smiling. "I have completed the task you assigned to me. Look, I brought the person here for you. You shouldn't thank me."

"Bah! You traitor!" Rody spat, then turned around immediately, but before he took a step, he stopped again.

Orson was standing five meters behind him, just looking at him quietly.

Rody knew he couldn't run away, so he could only turn around and look at the assassin with a fierce look.

"If you still want to stay in this business, let me go! Otherwise, when word gets out that you betrayed your employer, the entire industry will be ashamed of you!"

"Don't say that." The assassin smiled. "When it comes to betrayal, aren't you the best?"

"???!" Rody's eyes widened. "You, don't talk nonsense!"

How did this assassin know that he had betrayed his master?

Roddy has been helping his master to do this kind of dirty work for five years. This time, in order to deal with Orson, his master gave him a large sum of money and asked him to act according to the circumstances.

In his opinion, with such a large sum of money, if he had someone, he could even hire an eighth-level strongman to deal with Orson.

But in his opinion, this was a bit like using a sledgehammer to kill a fly. After all, Orson was only a sixth-level master. If he was caught off guard, a seventh-level master would be enough to kill him.

And if Orson hides in the academy, there is no need to worry, the people around him are easier to deal with than Orson himself.

In addition, he had always believed that he had done his duty to the family and that this money should be a reward from his master, so he downgraded a level and chose to hire a seventh-level killer.

Although it is indeed difficult to hire an eighth-level master, there is definitely personal selfishness involved.

And hiring a seventh-level killer was not enough. In order to make more money from it, he deliberately chose to bypass the agent and obtained the assassin's contact information through other channels, and then issued this task to the assassin.

This is not the first time he has done this.

In the past, as long as he thought that something was "not a big deal", he would choose to skip the agent and issue the commission directly in his own name.

And it really hadn't been turned over before.

Passing car.

Unexpectedly, this time the Iron Wolf Mercenary Group suffered a setback and all his information was exposed.

When the assassin saw Lodi's reaction, he became more convinced of his inner thoughts.

As expected, this bastard wants to have his cake and eat it too, and ends up hurting himself.

As for his method of eating from both ends, he could figure it out with his butt.

First, his master gave him some money and asked him to hire him to kill Orson.

Then he found Orson and revealed the information that he was going to assassinate him, so that Orson would be on guard in advance.

After that, as long as he died, he would not have to pay the balance, and he would still receive a large sum of money from Orson.

What a money-hungry old fox!

Thinking of this, the assassin's favorable impression of Lodi suddenly dropped to freezing point.

Originally they still had some feelings of cooperation in the past, but now they are standing on completely opposite sides.

If Orson hadn't said that this man could be useful, he would have killed Rody.

"I didn't expect that you, Mr. Rody, were quite smart. You didn't go back directly, but came here to investigate the situation." Orson said this and clapped his hands, as if praising Rody.

"Hmph." Rody snorted coldly.

Of course he knew that Orson was mocking him, but at the moment he was trapped in a jar and there was nothing he could do.

"Go ahead, tell me everything you know." Orson said, and held out his hand to Rody. "It's okay, don't feel burdened. The people behind you will understand your decision, because only in this way can you return to him and continue to work for him, right?"

"What if I say no?" Rody narrowed his eyes and looked at Orson.

"Well, why don't we play a game? I guess, what do you think?" Orson looked at Rody and smiled.

Rody said nothing.

"Let me guess the identity first."

Orson said this, and deliberately pondered for a long time, and then said:

"It's the Duke, isn't it?"

Chapter 107: I'm here to rescue you

When Roddy heard Orson's words, he was immediately filled with shock.

His pupils dilated slightly and his body trembled slightly.

He wanted to say something to deny Orson, but it felt as if a huge rock was pressing down on him, making it hard for him to breathe, let alone speak.

"Why aren't you talking? Did I guess wrong?" Orson said this with a smile on his face.

"Mr. Lodi, this is the Imperial City. Due to our status as people, I will not do anything to you. However, I may not be able to do anything to others."

"For example, some people who no longer need to care about reputation."

Of course, Roddy knew that Orson was threatening him by saying this.

At this moment, Rody's back was covered with fine beads of sweat, almost wetting his clothes.

"Just tell me what you want." He said this and looked up at Orson.

"Come with me, I will ensure your safety." Orson gave his conditions.

"Can I say no?"

"Do you have the capital to refuse?"

"..." Lodi lowered his head, as if accepting his fate. "I understand, but I will not betray my master."

"It's okay." Orson said this and signaled the assassin to take action.

The assassin nodded when he heard this, and then he walked forward.

"Mr. Lodi, I'm sorry if I'm being rude."

As he said this, he chopped Rody's neck with a knife, and the latter fell unconscious.

"Take him away," Orson said. "The money has been paid."

Although a cooperative relationship has been established between Orson and the assassin, again, a verbal agreement alone cannot guarantee anything.

After all, two people are connected by interests.

The assassin didn't say anything, he just picked up Lodi and took him away.

According to the progress of the royal investigation, it is estimated that it will take less than a few days to investigate into Lodi. Orson did this in order to get Lodi, the crucial chess piece, into his own hands before the royal family.

……

On the other side, it was night and the doctor returned to the door of Baron Drizzt's house.

The soldier guarding the door was the same one from today. When the doctor came over, he even greeted the doctor.

"Mr. Guard,

You've been on duty all day, haven't you? You've worked hard." said the doctor.

"No, compared to Lord Drizzt who works hard for the people all day, I am nothing."

"Has the city lord woken up?"

"Not yet." The guard quickly shook his head when he heard the doctor's question. "Master Drizzt hasn't woken up yet. Doctor, why don't you go in and wait? The master should be waking up soon."

"Okay." The doctor didn't say much after hearing this, but just nodded.

"Thank you very much."

Having said this, he walked into the mansion.

He did not go upstairs directly, but returned to the kitchen where he was this afternoon. He took a look outside the kitchen, made sure that the guards had not followed him, and then walked into the kitchen.

When you touch the wall tile, you can clearly feel a slight rebound.

This wall tile can be pressed down.

Then the doctor pressed the wall tile, and then, in the kitchen, a secret door leading to the underground appeared in front of the doctor.

The doctor glanced at the secret door, and after making sure that there was no one behind him, he walked down through the secret door.

Walking up the stairs, the doctor felt like he had been walking for half a minute before he stepped on the floor, and then he felt a chill.

This seemed to be a cellar used to store food, but it had probably been unused for a long time. Apart from some damp smell, the doctor didn't smell anything else.

The space here doesn't seem to be big, even the footsteps of the doctor's shoes can echo here.

The doctor walked around the small space again and confirmed that it was just a cellar.

What? It turns out I was just worrying too much...?

Just as the doctor was thinking this, his ears caught a barely audible sound, and through the darkness, he could see that a door that was very similar to a wall appeared in front of him.

If it weren't for the slight sound coming from behind the door, he probably wouldn't have been able to hear the sound.

Gently pushing the door open, the doctor could see that this was another narrow passage that could only accommodate one person. If it was a larger creature, it would not be able to pass through it.

After passing through the passage, this time he came to a space about the same size as the cellar.

After turning on the light in the room, he was stunned.

The sound just made was the sound of the chain moving.

At this moment, in the room, a pretty girl with one foot tied with an iron chain was sitting on the ground in a daze.

The girl was clearly wearing gorgeous clothes, but it seemed that the person who put the clothes on her was not familiar with the wearing skills, and the originally beautiful clothes could only be used to cover her body.

And her long brown hair was already messed up by her.

She looked at the doctor, her eyes were dull for a moment, and then her face suddenly became ferocious. She roared at the doctor and waved her hands continuously, like a madman, or a wild beast.

She no longer looked like a human being.

The doctor just stood there, looking at her quietly.

Although the girl tried desperately to throw herself at the doctor, one of her feet was tied with an iron chain, so she could only fall to the ground.

After realizing that she couldn't find a doctor, the girl began to smash the chains on her feet frantically again, until her own white hands were cut, but she seemed to feel no pain.

Looking at the girl's behavior, the doctor thought of someone for some reason, and then he sat cross-legged in front of the girl.

"Susie?" the doctor asked tentatively.

After hearing the name, the girl seemed to realize something and huddled in the corner in fear, covering her face with her arms.

Seeing the other party's reaction, the doctor also understood the situation.

"Poor child." The doctor sighed, completely unaware that he and the other child were of the same age.
