Personality V: I will save everything

"Then I'm going to go back to sleep..." Mike muttered to himself as he walked towards the bed with lazy steps.

His already hazy eyes were now almost unable to open. If it weren't for the earth-shaking noise coming from the corridor just now, he would probably have fallen into a sweet dream by now.

Mike was casually wearing a loose pajamas with an open collar, revealing his fair skin. He kept yawning as he walked, as if he was going to collapse on the bed in the next second.

However, just as Mike was about to dive into the bed, a strong hand suddenly reached out from behind and accurately hooked the back of his collar.

Mike was startled by the sudden pull and froze in place for a moment.

He slowly turned his head and found that the person standing behind him was Qiu Ke with a gloomy face.

Jake stared at Mike with his deep eyes without saying a word, but just this one look made Mike feel an invisible pressure coming towards him.

“..............” Mike opened his mouth, wanting to say something to explain his behavior, but in the end he closed his mouth helplessly.

Because he knew in his heart that Qiu Ke was usually easy to talk to, but in this matter, any explanation was unnecessary.

Jack remained silent, and he slowly put his other hand to Mike's mouth. Mike saw this and suddenly had an ominous premonition in his heart.

Sure enough, the next moment, Jake suddenly pinched Mike's cheeks and forced him to open his mouth.

"Pah!" With a slight sound, a ball of colorful and various shaped candies came out of Mike's mouth.

The candies scattered on the ground looked like colorful gems, except that they looked particularly dazzling at this moment.

Apparently, Mike was planning on going to bed with all that candy in his mouth.

Seeing this, Jake's face became even uglier. He loosened his hand that was pinching Mike's cheek, then stretched out a finger, pointed directly in the direction of the sink, and said to Mike in a low and stern voice: "Go brush your teeth for me!"

After saying that, Joke didn't forget to glare at Mike fiercely, as if warning him not to have any luck anymore.

Mike: (?д?; )

Mike stood in front of the sink, holding the toothbrush tremblingly, and from time to time he glanced at Jack, who was standing beside him with his eyes wide open, as if he wanted to eat someone.

Under this extremely oppressive gaze, Mike didn't even dare to breathe and could only brush his teeth quickly.

After finally brushing his teeth, Mike heaved a sigh of relief and turned around to go back to his room to sleep. But as soon as he took two steps, he suddenly heard a gust of wind behind him.

Before he could react, Jack rushed forward and snatched the jar of candy from his arms in the blink of an eye.

"Confiscated!" said Jack coldly, while tightly gripping the sugar jar in his hand, as if he was afraid it would fly away.

Hearing this, Mike was completely stunned, with an expression of disbelief and pity on his face, his mouth opened so wide that an egg could fit in. "Ah? No......"

He couldn't help but let out a wail, but looking at Jake's determined expression, he knew that it would be futile no matter how much he begged.

In the end, Mike could only hang his head helplessly, looking back every few steps as he walked towards the room, praying silently in his heart that Jack would be merciful and return the sugar jar to him tomorrow.

the other side,

The person who was once responsible for assisting the novelist in training was replaced by Gangi from Frederick.

During this period of time, Gangi temporarily left because of some things, but surprisingly, after this period of unremitting efforts to exercise, the novelist's physique has improved significantly compared to before, it can be said that it has improved a lot! This made the novelist feel a little flattered.

However, it soon became clear that despite all the progress the novelist had made, he was still far behind Frederick.

After all, the old ones are the wisest. The saying "your brother is always your brother" is not just a casual saying. No matter what, Orpheus can never defeat Frederick.

In fact, there was no real fight between the two men. The novelist simply rolled up his sleeves in front of Frederick and proudly showed off his newly grown muscles to him.

At that time, Frederick was leisurely savoring the delicious afternoon tea and enjoying this rare leisure time.

Unexpectedly, a Cheng Yaojin suddenly appeared halfway through - the novelist, a young man, appeared in front of him without any warning, and his self-righteous look instantly destroyed Frederick's originally happy mood.

Frederick slowly put down the exquisite teacup in his hand, his movements graceful and unhurried.

Then, he raised his finger slightly towards the novelist, his eyes revealing a subtle hint of teasing and provocation, as if signaling the novelist to come closer...

This novelist is simply a complete rookie.

He naively thought that Frederick was just curious and wanted to see his strong muscles up close. However, the truth was far from that.

Frederick suddenly attacked, as fast and powerful as lightning! He grabbed the novelist's arm tightly, then exerted force and began to twist it wildly.

And the force was not just ordinary, it was a 180-degree twist! The pain was indescribable.

In an instant, the novelist let out a shrill scream, as if the whole world could hear his cry of pain.

He had never expected to be attacked so suddenly and violently, and his body trembled involuntarily. At this moment, he was completely defeated and had no power to fight back.

At this moment, Frederick was looking down at the novelist who was kneeling on the ground in a miserable state.

His eyes were full of disdain and ridicule, and he said coldly: "Novelist, how many times do you have to fail before you understand? You should know that no matter what, you will never be able to defeat me!"

................................................................

the other side,

Although Neb had a map carefully drawn by Frederick in his hand, his understanding of this mysterious, eerie Forest of No Return was nothing compared to that of Bane, a veteran ranger who had lived here for decades.

Time passed quietly, and in the blink of an eye it was already the sixth night.

When the night completely enveloped the Forest of No Return, the moonlight shone faintly through the dense branches and leaves, making the forest even darker and deeper.

At this time, Naib was hiding in a tall tree, trying to use the cover of leaves to avoid possible dangers. However, the experienced Bane, with his keen intuition and years of tracking skills, still found his hiding place.

With a low roar, Bane rushed towards the tree like a ferocious beast and effortlessly pulled Naib off the branch. Naib was caught off guard and fell heavily to the ground with a dull sound.

"Who are you? What on earth do you want to do by sneaking here in the middle of the night?!" Bane widened his eyes and glared at the strange man in front of him, his tone full of vigilance and questioning.

In the dim moonlight, Bane looked at Naib carefully. He was wearing a strange black hooded robe that wrapped his whole body tightly, revealing only a slightly pale face.

He had nothing on him except a sharp knife on his waist. This outfit was too strange and completely different from those common poachers.

Normally, poachers are always fully armed with various types of hunting rifles, but the man in front of him only had one cold weapon, which made Bane more suspicious.

Naib looked at the puzzled man in front of him expressionlessly, muttering to himself: Why does this person have so many questions? And he was too lazy to explain from the beginning, so he just kept it brief.

So he said lightly: "Frederick Kleiberg asked me to come here. Something bad would happen to you, so he asked me to protect you." These brief words were like a flash of lightning across the night sky, instantly dispelling the fog in the other person's heart.

Yes, that's it! It's simple and clear, but it encompasses everything that needs to be explained.

There is no dragging or redundant words. It is like an extremely sharp sword, piercing straight to the core of the problem, making it impossible to avoid.

As for Frederick, Ben knew him. After all, they were closely connected.

Moreover, Bane knew Frederick's background very well - the child who grew up beside God since childhood.

Therefore, it is not impossible that Frederick foresaw that Bane would be in danger.

Frederick learned that his friend Bane was in danger, but for some reason, he was unable to help directly.

Therefore, after careful consideration, he hired the man named Naib to act as a bodyguard to ensure that Bane would be safe. With this logical reasoning, everything makes sense!

As for whether the other party just gave a random name just to scare Bane, this possibility is not high.

Frederick's story is not a household name. It only caused a small amount of discussion at the time, but it soon passed. He is not as well-known in the church as Andrew or Carl.

Moreover, even if the man in front of him knew, he would never know the relationship between him and Frederick. After all, the reason why they knew each other was because of Master Orpheus's matter.

Poachers only move at night, and every time Frederick comes, it is already late in the day. Even if poachers see Frederick, they will only know his name is Frederick.

Because from beginning to end, Bane only called the other party Master Frederick, and Master Orpheus only called the other party Frederick, they couldn't know that his last name was Kleiberg.

Taking all of this into account, Bane decided to trust this man.

"Okay, I see. I'm so sorry. Did you get hurt?"

"It's okay." Naib dusted himself off and stood up. "My name is Naib."

"So...is there anything I can help you with?" After all, Bane was more familiar with the entire Forest of No Return than the man named Naib in front of him. If he led the way, things should be able to be solved better.

"No, all you have to do is take all your weapons, return to your cabin, close the doors and windows, and wait for it to end tomorrow night."

Frederick only hired Naib for seven days, and Naib had been abiding by the disciplinary rules given to him by Frederick. No poachers had come during this period, but Naib still abided by the agreement. He would wait until the seventh night before leaving, which was after tomorrow night.

"Oh, there's one more thing Frederick asked me to tell you. I was originally planning to come visit you after tomorrow night, but now that you've found me, I'll tell you directly."

Ben was all ears.

"[Kindness is a virtue, but you should not be kind to everyone. Being kind to good people is worthy of praise, but being kind to bad people is stupid and can only be laughed at. Kindness should be reserved.]

These are Frederick's original words. I hope you can understand the meaning behind them. Those poachers...don't expect to stop them just by talking."

After saying this, Naib left and hid in the woods again.

After watching the other party leave, Bane obediently returned to his cabin and took Black Nose into the house.

What did the other party mean by what he just said? Bane was not a fool, he could roughly guess it.

So...if I hadn't been protected by that man, would I have died long ago, killed by those poachers?

[Those poachers...don't expect to stop just by talking to them.]

Maybe I should talk to old man Balk tomorrow and ask him to install the traps back.
