"Be careful!"
James, who was left behind by Viktor, stood at the edge of the forest and warned anxiously as he saw the dangerous scene in front of them.
Due to Viktor's sudden appearance and the short distance between the two, the coachman could not stop the carriage from charging forward even though he pulled the reins tightly.
Viktor's eyes narrowed when he saw that the carriage was about to hit him, but he stood firm and did not dodge.
At this critical moment, a figure suddenly jumped out of the carriage and dashed to Viktor's front like lightning. The figure quickly carried him to the side and dodged the carriage's impact.
James, who was standing at the edge of the forest by the road, looked up blankly at the tall figure that suddenly appeared in front of him and gently put Viktor back on the ground.
The carriage sped forward for another ten meters before it finally stopped. If Viktor did not dodge it just now, his bones would definitely be broken.
Viktor finally came back to his senses and heard the sounds of the pursuers searching the forest behind him. He did not have the time to be surprised by what happened in the blink of an eye. He looked up anxiously and pleaded to the tall man who just saved him from the horse's hooves.
"Sir, please help us!"
The man who dashed out of the carriage at such a high speed that no one could catch sight of him and saved Viktor was extremely tall and muscular. He was even taller than the burly Thomas.
However, other than their similar figures, Thomas, who was always slovenly, unshaven, and dressed sloppily, could not be compared to the man in front of him.
This man with super speed was wearing an obviously expensive, tailored black suit. Although his face could not be seen clearly in the dark, his tall and muscular body revealed a powerful aura and pressure. It was far from what Thomas could compare to. Even James' adoptive father, the owner of Howlett Manor, John Howlett, was far from what he could compare to.
At this moment, whether the two of them could successfully escape from the pursuers in the forest and escape with their lives depended on this man's decision. Therefore, looking up at the tall figure in front of them, James and Viktor could not help but feel anxious.
The tall man in the suit lowered his head and looked at the two of them. His gaze was as sharp as a knife and seemed to be able to see through everything. The two of them felt as if all their secrets had been exposed in front of him. There were no secrets to speak of.
Very quickly, his gaze moved away from the two of them, and he raised his head to look at the forest behind them. There were several faint flames in the forest, accompanied by bursts of noise.
After the man in the suit looked away, the two of them immediately felt their bodies relax. However, as they listened to the sound behind them getting closer and closer, the two of them couldn't help but feel anxious. If the other party wasn't willing to help them, then they could only continue to run. However, once they left the forest, even if it was night time, it was still very easy for them to be discovered. It was very likely that they would be caught.
At that time, the two of them would definitely not have a good ending.
Just as the two of them were feeling uneasy, a low and dignified voice suddenly sounded above their heads.
"Get in the car."
After he finished speaking, he turned around and walked a few steps to the front of the carriage. He stepped on the footboard and entered the carriage through the door that had been opened when he had rushed down to save the others.
Viktor and James were overjoyed and quickly thanked him.
"Thank you!"
"Thank you, sir!"
Seeing that the other party had already boarded the carriage, Viktor didn't dare to delay any longer. He quickly pulled James and quickly ran forward to get into the carriage.
"Hyah!"
Upon receiving Chen Mo's order, the coachman sitting at the front of the carriage immediately whipped the horse. After a series of neighs, the carriage's wheels started rolling and sped forward.
By the time the pursuers rushed out of the forest, the carriage was already far away, hidden in the dark night.
The three of them in the carriage didn't speak a word. Viktor and James looked out of the carriage through the carriage's glass, but they could only see pieces of deep darkness quickly passing by on both sides of the carriage.
The two wind lanterns hanging in front of the carriage swayed back and forth in the bumpy carriage. The dim yellow light could only barely illuminate a few meters in front of them. Beyond that, it was still a thick darkness that couldn't be dispelled.
James and Viktor couldn't describe what they were feeling in their hearts.
They were glad that they were lucky enough to meet this mysterious man who helped them escape; at the same time, they were deeply confused about the unknown future. Just like the deep darkness, they couldn't see clearly no matter how hard they tried.
Viktor reached out his left hand and put it on James' shoulder. No matter what the future was, the two brothers would face it together.
The two who gradually recovered from their confusion couldn't help but think of the mysterious man who helped them. They looked up and carefully sized him up.
They didn't see him clearly when they were outside, but now, with the dim yellow light shining in from the glass window in front of the carriage, the two finally saw his face clearly.
At first glance, the two couldn't help but be surprised. This man who was taller and more muscular than Thomas was actually a handsome young Asian man.
He seemed to be in his early twenties, but the expression on his face was unusually calm and revealed a strong sense of majesty. No one would look down on him because of his age, but instead, they couldn't help but feel awe.
A pair of deep, pitch-black eyes were still shining brightly in the dark night, emitting a light as sharp as a blade. When their gazes met, they felt their hearts palpitate. They couldn't help but quickly shift their gazes away, not daring to look at each other again.
Viktor and James had never met such a person in their life experience. They couldn't help but feel a strong sense of curiosity. What kind of person was this mysterious man who showed superhuman speed before? What kind of secrets did he have?
Time passed quickly in the two's imagination. Not long after, the galloping carriage finally slowed down.
James and Viktor raised their heads and looked around, only to find that they had arrived at the gate of a manor that wasn't much smaller than Howlett Manor.
The gate of the manor was already open. Bright light came out from the manor, illuminating the area around the gate.
A middle-aged man who looked like a housekeeper quickly came forward and opened the door for them.
The mysterious young man who had been sitting in the carriage slowly stood up and stepped on the pedal under the door and walked down.
"Master, you're back!"
The housekeeper who was holding the door with one hand bowed slightly and said respectfully to the young man.
