"Master? Why are you here?"
In the outer city of Havenright, a tavern called "Bonnie" was bustling with activity. Although afternoons are generally off-season for pubs, in this pub, the laughter was almost knocking down the ceiling. A row of log chairs were filled with middle-aged men drinking heavily.
As well as drunken Jeremy, and Benjamin who just walked in here.
After listening to the butler's words, Benjamin was worried that something had happened to Jeremy. So he took his pistol and bullets, went out, and went to the outer city to look for Jeremy.
He came to the abandoned stronghold and asked nearby passers-by if they had seen a manservant who looked like a mouse and had a timid face. The man said, "I have seen him. He is in Bonnie's Tavern now." Benjamin was then Hearing this, I was shocked, wondering if something unexpected had happened.
As a result, I didn’t expect…
Nothing happened to Jeremy. He just got drunk with a group of people whose identities he didn't know in this tavern with a name that sounded like a trolley dancer, so he didn't come back.
From a distance of more than ten meters, Benjamin could smell the alcohol on the other person's body.
Oh shit…
Why is it that no one around me is reliable
Seeing the drunken look on Jeremy's face, Benjamin had the urge to slap him on the head with a water balloon.
But he still held back. He walked over without saying a word, preparing to use force to drag Jeremy away. When he sobered up, he would ask him what he was doing and deduct a few months of wages.
"Jeremy, is this your young master?"
Benjamin was about to drag Jeremy away when a man next to him suddenly asked a question.
"Yes, this is our young master. Come on, young master, meet my new friend. This is... Hey, what's your name? I can't remember it. Hey, young master, don't drag me. Ah." Jeremy's drinking quality has reached a certain level, and he is still drinking like crazy. He is completely different from the usually weak and fearful person.
"It's time to go back. You didn't show up all night, and the housekeeper is already angry." After all, he was in a public place, but Benjamin remained patient and did not get angry.
"Butler? By the way, my God, I'm going to be deducted from my wages again. Master Benjamin, what should I do? I'm being deducted from my wages again?" Jeremy was stunned when he heard this, and immediately started crying and screaming again.
Isn't it normal to have your wages deducted for leaving your post without permission? You're lucky if you don't get fired!
Benjamin's patience is about to reach its limit, but fortunately, the name of butler seems to be very intimidating to Jeremy. Although he would not be frightened into drunkenness, at least he was willing to follow Benjamin obediently.
However, things backfired and changes occurred suddenly.
When Benjamin turned around and was about to leave, a big man almost two meters tall blocked the door of the tavern. I saw him turning around with a fierce look on his face, looking at Benjamin maliciously.
Benjamin's heart suddenly thumped.
He looked back and saw that the people who were chatting and laughing with Jeremy just now also stood up from their chairs. The smiles disappeared from their faces, and they stared at Benjamin like wolves on the hunt.
The atmosphere in the tavern changed drastically. The landlady quickly put the fragile items on the table into the cabinet, and then skillfully hid in the kitchen.
Benjamin felt very bad and confused.
what's the situation
No, these people are here for you
But what does he have to do with these people? He has never provoked them, has he
"Master, Master, why don't you leave? If you don't go back, my wages will be deducted again!" Jeremy was obviously not clear-headed and didn't realize what was happening.
As soon as he said this, before Benjamin could react, one of the men with a scar on his face suddenly pulled out a knife. He slashed at the chair next to him with his knife, cutting the chair in half.
Jeremy was so frightened that he woke up, and his speech changed from vague to trembling: "What, what are you going to do? Didn't we have a good chat just now? No... didn't you say you know our young master? ?”
The scarred man sneered and said, "Yes, I want to get to know your young master well, and I would like to thank you for introducing him to me."
Jeremy was dumbfounded and didn't know what to say.
After this back and forth, Benjamin stood on the side and understood how all of this happened.
These people are using Jeremy as bait! They probably made up some lies about knowing themselves, tricked Jeremy into coming over, and then got Jeremy drunk until he was unconscious, then waited for them to knock on the door.
After understanding what happened, Benjamin still didn't understand why these people were looking for trouble for him.
Entrusted by someone
Is Dick up to something? Or someone else
He couldn't help but think of the mysterious assassin who wanted to assassinate him the night he just escaped from Michelle and returned to the Reese family. He wanted to find out who sent the assassin, but he had no clue. Later, due to one after another events, he had to put the matter behind him.
At this moment, he couldn't help but think about it.
Could it be that the assassin at that time and the trap now were all the work of the same person
"Hey, kid, let me ask you, where is that woman?" Suddenly, the scarred man in the lead spoke and asked such a question.
"That woman?" Benjamin frowned, "I don't know what you are talking about."
"You're still pretending to be stupid. Believe it or not, I chopped you up with a knife. Do you really think you are a noble and you don't dare to kill you?" The scarred man's voice suddenly became several times louder, and he said viciously, "If you really don't know, Why do you let your servants wander around the several places where that woman has been?"
Hearing this, Benjamin understood who he called "that woman".
Are they looking for Michelle
Benjamin quickly sorted out his thoughts.
Judging from the ferocious looks of these people, they are most likely here to seek revenge. It is estimated that Michelle had a relationship with them, and they wanted to take revenge, but they could never find Michelle. As a result, he asked Jeremy to investigate Michelle's former stronghold, but they discovered it.
Therefore, they thought they were related to Michelle and used Jeremy to set up such a trap just to lure them here.
So, today's scene happened.
After finally figuring out the whole thing, Benjamin felt speechless.
The people Michelle messed with were none of his business
So unlucky...
"Are you talking about Michelle? What a coincidence. If I knew where she was, I wouldn't have to let my servant wander around the place where she stayed." Thinking of this, Benjamin said to the scarred man replied.
If misunderstandings can be resolved, that is a good thing. The enemy of my enemy is my friend. Although Benjamin also wanted to practice with these people, the people from the church should be nearby, and he did not dare to use magic.
He didn't want to conflict with these people. It would be troublesome, and he wouldn't get any benefits. It would only make Michelle easier - he didn't want to make Michelle easier.
"What he said seems to make sense..." Someone in this group said after listening to Benjamin's words.
"It turns out that woman's name is Michelle. After searching for so long, I finally know her name." Someone else sighed.
"Shut up!" The scarred man immediately yelled loudly, shocking the whispering men. "These nobles are very cunning, and you can't just listen to what they say. We have been looking for that woman for so long, and finally we have some clues. , how could you let him go so easily!"
"The boss is right, he is still smart!" Someone immediately flattered him.
"Yes, you can't believe what he says!"
This group of people quickly turned their attention to Benjamin again, looking like they were ready to make a move.
Benjamin felt speechless.
It seemed like he couldn't escape this trouble.
Michelle, the killer of a thousand cuts, could still find so many things for him even if he didn't show up!
There was no other way. Seeing that the group of people refused to listen to the explanation and were about to surround him with knives, Benjamin had no choice but to use his ultimate move.
"Help! Killing! Where are the knights of the church! I, Benjamin, will die here before I can help you catch Michelle! If I die, the bishop will definitely not be able to spare you! Help! Rush in quickly ah!"
He could only be heard shouting loudly at the top of his lungs.
