"If you can truly live your life with hatred, no matter how difficult the process, you will not feel pain. But if there are other things in your heart, believe me, when you make a choice, you will understand what it means to be worse than dead."

Based on his experience watching anime in his previous life, Wu Yu reminded Jerry.

Jerry paused, a flicker of struggle crossing his eyes, but quickly nodded and replied, "Avenger, this is the path I have chosen, until death do us part."

Wu Yu said nothing more. Although he would offer what he considered to be the right opinion, he would not try to distort someone's will. He knew he was not qualified to do so.

"Report, Captain, there's a man and a woman outside who want to see you. It seems they want you to release the people." At this moment, a soldier rushed over to report.

"Hmph, I'd like to see who's got the nerve." Mapel was in a bad mood, and as soon as she heard someone was causing trouble, she rushed over.

"Could it be Eugene and the others?" Wu Yu thought to himself, and quickly followed.

Maper didn't wait for Wu Yu on purpose; Wu Yu couldn't keep up at all. When Wu Yu entered the house, he saw the two of them facing off in a tense standoff.

Inside was Yi Fang, whom I had just met today, but her attire was slightly different. She wore a coat similar to a researcher's white lab coat, and her small feet were covered by gray open-toed sandals. She was glaring at me with her large eyes surrounded by dark circles, and declared domineeringly...

"Here is the bail of ten gold coins. I have bailed Wu Yu out in the name of the Dragon Merchant Guild. Let alone the indecent assault of the princess, even if it is a premeditated rebellion, our Dragon Merchant Guild has the ability to move him from his place of confinement to a luxurious manor."

After saying that, Yi Fang casually tossed ten gold coins onto the table, making a jingling sound.

"How dare a mere chamber of commerce spout such nonsense here?" Maper said angrily.

“Then what right do you, a mere patrol captain, have to abuse your power in front of me? Even if your father, Count Zeklica, came, he would have to treat me with utmost respect. Don’t forget, half of your family’s businesses are controlled by our Dragon Merchant Guild. If I wanted, I could cut off your economic lifeline at any time.” Ivan’s counterattack was clearly superior, and Maper was so angry that she couldn’t speak.

Seeing that Maper's face was flushed, Wu Yu guessed that she was about to make a move, so he rushed over and comforted her, "It's a misunderstanding, it's all a misunderstanding."

"Actually, Miss Maper has already released me."

Upon hearing Wu Yu's words, Yi Fang's sharp edge vanished instantly. She glanced at Wu Yu, realizing that she had offended Maper for no reason. She glared at Eugene, who was standing obediently beside him, and said helplessly, "Then we'll take our leave."

After saying that, without waiting for Maper's reply, Yifang grabbed Wu Yu with one hand and Eugene with the other, and fled from Maper's territory as if she were escaping.

"Huff." Yifang seemed to have only an ordinary physique. After running for a while, she began to pant. However, Maper did not send anyone to chase them, so Yifang was no longer in a hurry to escape.

"Brother, can you be a little more reliable? Since Mr. Wu Yu is capable of getting away on his own, why did you come to me? Do you know how many gold coins we'll lose by offending Mapel?"

Ivan was pointing her finger at Eugene and scolding him, while Eugene, like a child who had done something wrong, let her criticize him, showing no authority as an older brother.

"Alright, Miss Yifang, I'll explain this misunderstanding to Maper. That should be able to mend your relationship." Seeing Eugene's pitiful state, Wu Yu had no choice but to step in and speak up for him.

"Then thank you very much, Mr. Wu Yu." Yi Fang smiled politely at Wu Yu.

However, this politeness surprised Wu Yu. Goodness, wasn't he as cold as ice this afternoon? Why is he being so nice to him now? Wu Yu could only stiffly reply, "It's what I should do."

"Brother, Mr. Wu Yu and I have some private things to discuss. Could you please leave first?" Yi Fang said in a very ambiguous tone.

Eugene jolted awake and glared at Wu Yu, his expression one of utter heartbreak, as if betrayed by his best friend. Yet, he dared not disobey Yifang's orders, and could only offer a warning, "This guy is no good," before slinking away in disgrace.

What's going on? It seems like we don't have much to talk about.

Completely bewildered, Wu Yu was led by Yi Fang into a secluded alley, half-heartedly. Since he was a man, he figured he wouldn't be taken advantage of.

"Thump." Yi Fang, who was a head shorter than Wu Yu, gave Wu Yu a standard wall slam.

Her breath, sweet as orchids, brushed against Wu Yu's face as she drew ever closer.

Although she was wearing a white lab coat over her clothes, she was actually wearing the same loose-fitting sundress from this morning underneath. With just a slight tilt of her head, the white fabric would be faintly visible.

No way, why did this turn of events happen? Or are all the women in this other world this ravenous? Should Wu Yu back down today?

Just as Wu Yu was considering whether to go with the flow, Yi Fang, whose body was almost pressed against Wu Yu's, suddenly stepped back.

Yi Fang looked at Wu Yu, who looked like he was about to die a heroic death, and said approvingly, "The Dragon Slayer is really gentle. Even when someone with ulterior motives got close to you, you didn't take the initiative to fight. You must be quite easy to talk to."

What? So you weren't just lusting after my body!

Upon hearing the words "Dragon Slayer," Wu Yu roughly understood the other party's purpose. Even though he had acted slightly like a lecherous man earlier, he now put on a cold expression and asked, "What do you want?"
