Alfredo's eyes were glued to the pills when he saw them, and he faked a reluctant look. "Hmm, I'll release you since you've done your part."
Then, he looked at the sky outside the main hall and said, "It's too late now. Put up a night here, and I'll get someone to send you down tomorrow morning."
As he spoke, he looked arrogant, but deep down, he was extremely excited.
'Haha! What a steal! Though I couldn't get any money out of this dude, I got these panaceas.'
"Thank you, gentleman." Darryl put on a smile and gave thanks with his fists clasped together.
'This…'
Looking at the situation, Rachelle, who was still tied to the pole, started to panic. She could not help but ask Darryl, "Mister, please save me…"
At that moment, Rachelle felt dismayed.
'Did Darryl only think for himself and forget I'm still tied up?'
As a matter of fact, as a woman, she waited for Darryl to rescue her. However, he did not think of her, and she could not stand it anymore.
Suddenly, Darryl felt happy and laughed to himself silently when he heard Rachelle asking for help.
'Haha! In the end, this woman didn't withhold herself.'
As Darryl thought, he slowly walked over, squinted at Rachelle, and replied cunningly, "Miss, I think you should stay here."
Rachelle shuddered and thought she had misheard him.
'What? Darryl… didn't plan to save me?'
As Rachelle was stunned, Darryl laughed and added, "I know I saved you previously. You feel grateful for me, and you want to stay by my side, but you saw it yourself earlier. I couldn't even protect myself. How would I be able to protect you?"
Then, Darryl pointed at Alfredo and said, "Though I just met this gentleman, I can tell he really likes you. So, I figured you should stay here and be the head of bandit's wife. Then, you'll be protected by many, and you won't need to live a wandering life anymore."
