Chapter 40 Waiting

After listening to the words of the captain of the Guards, Lennon's face suddenly became even more ugly, making his already bad mood worse.

He knew that these Guardsmen were like wolves who couldn't get enough to eat. He was not saying this just because the soldiers and civilians were eager to help and were openly asking for bribes from him.

But Lennon would not openly offend the Guards. He knew the details of the Guards. Even His Majesty the King had to coax them. How could he, a mere butler of an honorary knight's family, offend them?

"Thank you for your concern, Captain. I will definitely report this matter to Madam Maria."

But Lennon was sneering in his heart. The squad leader actually asked Maria to find them personally. He must have just switched defenses and didn't know the situation, and he didn't have a good relationship with the previous squad leader. If he had known Maria's true identity, he would never have made such a frivolous suggestion.

"It's easy to talk. Then I'll take people back to the barracks and wait. This murderer is really dangerous. He killed so many people at once. I hope Mrs. Maria can provide some specific information about this person when she comes, so that we can help. Check it out."

The captain of the Guards had a look on his face, thinking that he would have the opportunity to kiss Fangze this time. However, he learned from the former captain of the garrison that the Lady Maria in this village was not only generous, but even the clothes on the bed were Kung Fu also makes people feel itchy just thinking about it.

After another routine hearing, the squad leader left with a satisfied red envelope given to him by Lennon.

It was already dawning at this time, and Lennon felt a trace of disdain in his heart as he looked at the retreating back of the Guards squad leader.

Of course, he didn't think that these guards could be of much help. They had been corrupted a long time ago. Otherwise, how could they be bodyguards for the Green family's caravan just because of some external possessions? This kind of thing can only be done by corrupt elements who have lost their honor and belief. As for letting Maria go find them - Lennon didn't have any objections. These guys had no idea about Maria's terror.

So Lennon didn't take this matter to heart at all, but the outsider who escaped from his hands and Cinderella who still couldn't be found still cast a shadow on his mind.

Lennon knew that if these two matters could not be resolved, then his owner William Green would not be able to sleep peacefully.

"That foreigner is very extraordinary. He can slip away from under my nose and kill so many servants. It's really extraordinary! I may have thought wrong at first. The lame man in the blacksmith shop has no ability to find such a powerful person. Character. But Cinderella’s escape must be related to him. I must find him as soon as possible, or at least retrieve Cinderella, otherwise the master will be in big trouble..."

Lennon thought to himself.

At this moment, the "foreigner" Paine, whom Lennon was thinking about, had quietly returned to Old Tom's home.

Not far away from him was Cinderella, who was lying on the table and taking a nap. This girl also stayed up all night with fear. The sissy tailor hid her all night long, until Paine noticed that there was less movement in the village. He just went back to pick her up, so she just lay down and rested for a while.

Paine was naturally not sleepy. He was no longer an ordinary person, so this consumption was nothing to him.

"The next step is to wait for Old Tom to come back. I don't know if their journey back to the capital will go smoothly. I already have a vague feeling that my star will be promoted to inspiration, and Cinderella will turn into a cocoon and turn into a butterfly to participate in the dance. night."

Paine looked at the sleeping Cinderella and thought.
