Arthur was at the back of the team, and the submachine gun in his hand was always held in a defensive posture.
As dusk approached, the group stopped.
Delile was sitting on a blanket. The desert in front of her was golden. When the wind blew, countless waves of sand and gravel slowly extended to the golden horizon in the distance.
"Are you going to rest here tonight?" Delile asked Parker, who was sitting on the corner of the blanket.
"Yes, madam, Arthur and the others are preparing food! If you are tired, take a rest first!"
"How many days will it take?"
"If everything goes well, it will take about five or six days to cross this desert. We are fully prepared with food and water. Don't worry, madam!" Parker replied.
Delile remained silent, leaning on the bag she had taken off to salute, and closed her eyes.
Parker turned to look at her, the black veil covering her face, and he could only see the light breathing moving the thin veil.
He grew up in a Marlborough family and was most loyal to this family.
So when Caesar told him before he died that he promised to take good care of this woman, he was very reluctant.
Caesar said he did this for Lu Licheng, his only good friend.
At that time, Parker didn't understand why Caesar and Lu Licheng wanted to take revenge on Feng Hao so much, but they both wanted to treat Xia Yucheng kindly after losing his memory.
Later I realized that Caesar did it for his promise to Lu Licheng, and Lu Licheng did it for love.
It may be more because of some rare and valuable qualities that Xia Yucheng possesses.
Once when he was running away after a deal failed, he suffered a serious gunshot wound. It was Xia Yucheng, whom he called his wife, who led his people to rescue him desperately.
When he woke up the next day and learned from the servant that Xia Yucheng had knelt in front of the cross and prayed all night for him, his heart was trembling.
It was also from that time on that he truly regarded her as his master.
Because she had been injected with memory-erasing drugs, Xia Yucheng's memory was very short, so he took good care of her, fearing that her memory would completely disappear and she would become an idiot.
She is Delilei, his master, so he no longer wants to use her to take revenge on Feng Hao. Because Delilei cannot recall, and the memories will make her miserable.
Maybe, by being close to Feng Hao, she was the one who got hurt in the end.
She is so beautiful, so gentle, so smart, but being unconscious and having a blank memory should not be her ending.
That's why he made a decision in such a panic, releasing the woman locked in the basement, asking her to disguise herself as Delile, and let Feng Hao take her away.
He cannot lose his master, because she has become a belief in him. In his consciousness, she is the mistress of the Marlborough family.
The woman locked in the basement was brought to him by Wilson's people along with Xia Yucheng.
He had no idea who she was, maybe she was a killer being used.
It turns out that Caesar's plan is to let this fake person get close to Feng Hao, and then wait for an opportunity to kill Feng Hao.
But later he was afraid that the shrewd Feng Hao would find out the truth and come looking for the real Xia Yucheng, so he simply changed Caesar's plan and locked the fake one in the basement.
This level lasts for several years.
In the meantime, he also thought about simply killing the fake one and getting it over with. But in the end, he didn't do that.
