Master, You're Back!

"Careful!"

James, who had been left behind by Victor, stood at the edge of the woods and anxiously warned Victor about the danger ahead.

Because Victor appeared so suddenly and the distance between them was so close, even though the coachman pulled hard on the reins, he was still unable to stop the carriage from rushing forward.

Seeing that the carriage was about to hit Victor, Victor's eyes narrowed involuntarily, but he still stood firmly in place without dodging.

At this critical moment, a figure suddenly darted out of the carriage, rushed to Victor's side like lightning, grabbed him, and quickly dodged to the side, avoiding the carriage's impact.

James, standing at the edge of the roadside woods, looked up blankly and watched as the tall figure that had suddenly appeared gently placed Victor back on the ground.

The speeding carriage lurched forward for another ten meters before finally coming to a stop. If Victor hadn't dodged it, he would have definitely been hit and broken.

Victor finally came to his senses. Hearing the sounds of pursuers searching and moving forward from the woods behind him, he forgot his surprise at what had happened in the blink of an eye. He looked up anxiously at the tall man who had just saved him from under the horse's hooves and pleaded with him.

"Sir, please help us!"

The man who rushed out of the carriage at an incredible speed, almost too fast to catch, and saved Victor was extremely tall and muscular, even taller than the burly Thomas.

However, apart from their somewhat similar physiques, Thomas was always unkempt, unshaven, and dressed sloppily, was completely incomparable to the man in front of him.

The man with incredible speed was wearing a well-tailored, expensive black suit. Although his face was not clearly visible in the darkness, his imposing and upright figure exuded a powerful aura and a sense of oppression that far surpassed Thomas's, and even John Howlett, James's adoptive father and the owner of the Howlett Manor, was far beyond his reach.

At this moment, whether the two could successfully escape the pursuers in the woods and escape alive depended entirely on this person's decision. Therefore, looking up at the tall figure in front of them, James and Victor couldn't help but feel uneasy.

The tall man in the suit looked down at the two of them. His sharp, all-seeing gaze swept over them, making them feel as if all their secrets had been exposed to him, leaving them with no secrets at all.

He quickly shifted his gaze from the two men and looked up at the woods behind them, where several faint flames and bursts of noise could be heard.

After the man in the suit looked away, the two men felt a sense of relief. However, hearing the approaching sounds behind them, they became anxious. If the man was unwilling to help them, they would have to continue running. But once they left the woods, they would be easily spotted even in the darkness and could be caught.

The outcome for the two of them will certainly not be good.

Just as the two were feeling uneasy, a deep and authoritative voice suddenly rang out above them.

"Get in the car."

After he finished speaking, he turned around and walked a few steps to the front of the carriage. He stepped onto the footboard and entered the carriage through the door that had been opened when he rushed out of the carriage to save people.

Victor and James were overjoyed and quickly thanked him in unison.

"Thanks!"

"Thank you, sir!"

Seeing that the other party had already boarded the carriage, Victor did not dare to delay any longer and quickly pulled James forward to follow them into the carriage.

"Drive!"

Upon receiving Chen Mo's order, the coachman, sitting in the driver's seat at the front of the carriage, immediately cracked his whip. After a neighing sound, the carriage wheels began to spin rapidly, accelerating forward.

By the time the pursuers rushed out of the woods, the carriage had already sped away and disappeared into the deep darkness of the night.

The three people inside the carriage remained silent the entire way. Victor and James looked out through the carriage window, but could only see patches of deep darkness rushing past on both sides of the carriage.

The two lanterns hanging in front of the carriage swayed back and forth with the bumpy ride, their dim yellow light barely illuminating a few meters ahead, while beyond that, there was still a thick, impenetrable darkness.

James and Victor couldn't quite describe what they were feeling.

They felt both fortunate to have encountered this mysterious man who helped them escape; and deeply confused about the unknown future, just like the profound darkness, which they could not see clearly no matter how hard they tried.

Victor put his left arm around James' shoulder, showing that no matter what the future holds, the two brothers will face it together.

As the two gradually came to their senses from their confusion, they couldn't help but think of the mysterious man who had helped them, and looked up to examine him closely.

They hadn't been able to see him clearly from outside, but now, thanks to the dim light streaming in through the glass window at the front of the carriage, they could finally make out his face.

Upon closer inspection, both men were somewhat surprised to find that the man, who was even taller and stronger Thomas, was actually a handsome young Asian man.

He appeared to be in his early twenties, but his expression was exceptionally calm and exuded a strong sense of authority, which made people feel respectful rather than disrespectful because of his age.

A pair of dark, deep eyes still shone brightly in the darkness, revealing a sharp, Blade -sharp light. When their eyes met, they felt a jolt in their hearts and involuntarily looked away, unable to meet each other's gaze any longer.

Victor and James had never encountered anyone like this in their lives, which aroused their intense curiosity. What kind of person was this mysterious man who had previously demonstrated Superman speed? What secrets did he hold?

Time passed quickly as the two were lost in their own thoughts, and soon the speeding carriage finally came to a slow stop.

James and Victor looked up and realized they had arrived at the gate of a manor that was not much smaller than Howlett Manor.

The manor gates were open, and bright lights shone from inside, illuminating the area in front of the gate.

A middle-aged man who looked like a butler quickly stepped forward and opened the car door for them.

The mysterious young man who had been sitting upright in the carriage slowly stood up and stepped off the carriage using the foot pedal below the door.

"Master, you're back!"

The butler, who was holding the car door, bowed slightly and spoke respectfully to the young man.

James and Victor exchanged a glance. It turned out that this mysterious man was also a plantation owner, just like John Howlett!
