However, what Porus didn't notice was that when he left Arthur's Cake Shop, there were a few more little tails behind him.
Wood had already investigated the place where Porus placed his wife and daughter.
When Porus was on his way home, a little girl with blond hair and blue eyes was waiting by the roadside early. When she saw Porus wearing a hood, the girl also rushed towards him with a smile on her face.
And go.
Looking at his daughter running towards him, Porus wondered why his wife was not following her, but when he thought that if his daughter started running, his wife might not be able to keep up with the child, he opened his face with relief.
arm.
In fact, as an emperor, Porus would not let down his guard so easily, but the person running towards him was one of the most important beings in his life.
Moreover, his wife and daughter did have the habit of welcoming him back on the roadside in advance, so Porus had no doubt that he was there at this moment.
However, soon, when Porus opened his arms to welcome his little angel, the sharp pain in his chest made him realize in an instant that what he was welcoming was not his own princess, but a person who had harvested him.
The death of life.
He looked at the dagger stuck in his chest, and then looked at his daughter who was wearing a small dress that was soaked in blood but had a plain face.
Porus looked at Chelsea with a somewhat angry tone and asked tremblingly: "What did you do to my daughter and my wife?"
Porus was stabbed in the heart, and his chest was bleeding extensively. His life was also passing by. However, his first thought was not to plug the wound, but the safety of his wife and daughter.
Looking at Chelsea, who not only looked the same as his daughter, but also had the same temperament and demeanor, Porus naturally thought of the previous member of the night attack disguised as General Esdeath.
The "Hunter" had just destroyed the stronghold of the night attack before, and Porus naturally knew that the opponent was coming for him.
However, since he could perfectly disguise himself as his daughter, and even appeared on his way home, Porus couldn't help but worry that something unexpected had happened to his wife and daughter!
"Don't treat other people as just like you and attack innocent women and children. We don't even bother to do such things.
And even if I want to do something, my companions who have an excessive sense of justice will probably stop me, so you are the only one who will die. Even if you go to hell, you probably won't be able to see your family."
After hearing what Chelsea said, what was surprising was that Porus not only did not feel a trace of fear, but instead showed a relieved smile.
"I see, are they okay... That's fine. I'm the only one who should go to hell.
As my wife and daughter, they knew nothing about what I did. They healed me like real angels. Even if they really died unfortunately, they would not go to a place like hell.
Even if I die, I won't be able to reunite with my family. This is probably the punishment for what I did before...
Can I ask you one last thing? That is, please don’t tell them about me. This is my last request.”
Porus had already realized that he would die a violent death one day.
Having accepted the order to burn down many villages, he had long known that his sins were serious, but as he still enjoyed the tenderness with peace of mind, he knew that retribution would come to him sooner or later.
Therefore, Porus showed no reluctance or resentment towards his own death. His only wish at this moment was that his wife and daughter could live in peace and leave the last part of himself in their minds.
"I agree to your request."
Before Chelsea could say anything, Wood had already walked out from the side, and looking at Porus whose life was gradually passing away, he nodded in agreement.
Naturally, it would be impossible for Chelsea to assassinate Porus alone. If the other party sensed something was wrong in advance, with Chelsea's combat power, it would be impossible for her to be Porus's opponent.
Therefore, Ma Yin and Wood had already been lurking nearby, ready to help Chelsea at any time.
"Then thank you...you..."
Leaving his last words of thanks, Porus, one of the members of the "Hunters", died like this.
In fact, when Chelsea stabbed his heart with a dagger, Porus still had the power to fight back.
After all, Chelsea is a girl with average fighting ability. If she wipes her neck with a knife, she might be able to kill her with one blow.
But stabbing through the heart, especially if the target is a physically strong person like Porus, is really a bit reluctant given Chelsea's strength.
However, when he heard that Wood had not harmed his wife and daughter, the big man finally chose to give up resistance and accept death calmly.
This is also the reason why Wood finally agreed to the other party's request. Maybe the other party has sinned deeply, but a guy who can wake up and accept death calmly when he is dying is also worthy of respect.
After confiscating the opponent's Imperial Equipment "Purgatory Summons", and then finding the key on the opponent's body, Wood also successfully accessed the instrument that had bound him for a long time.
After untying the chains of the vassal, Wood and the others first buried Porus, and then Wood asked Chelsea and the others to go back first with Porus's imperial regalia, while he picked up the cake that Porus had dropped.
Even when he was attacked by Chelsea, Porus carefully protected the cake and threw it far enough away, so even the pink outer packaging box of the cake was not stained by blood.
The outer packaging is still exquisite.
Chelsea and Ma Yin were still wondering why Wood asked them to go back first, but the next second they saw Wood carrying a cake disappearing from their sight.
At the same time, in front of the door of a wooden house, a beautiful young woman was holding a little girl with blond hair and blue eyes, looking eagerly in the direction of the imperial capital, looking through the autumn water, waiting for a certain figure to appear.
"Mom, why hasn't dad come back yet? He promised me that he would buy me the biggest and most delicious cake."
The blond girl looked in the direction of the imperial capital, turned to look at her beautiful mother, and asked with expectant expression.
"Don't be anxious. Dad is also very busy at work, but he has never broken his promise to you, right?"
Listening to her daughter's urging, the young woman was actually a little worried because it was already past her husband's usual time to come home on his days off.
And she didn't know why, but from the very beginning, she had been feeling a little uneasy in her heart.
And after the young woman and Loli waited for a while, a figure finally appeared in their sights.
Unfortunately, the other person was not the figure they had been waiting for after looking through Qiushui, but a black-haired boy who looked young, but was handsome and well-behaved.
"Are these two Mr. Porus's wife and daughter?"
When she saw the strange black-haired boy walking toward them, the young woman was a little wary. However, when she heard the boy's questions and his polite behavior, which did not look like a bad guy, she immediately felt relieved.
"Yes, we are Porus, his wife and daughter. Are you..."
"Hello, madam, I am Mr. Porus's colleague in the imperial capital. This time, due to the sudden assignment of an urgent task from above, Mr. Porus may not be able to reunite with you as scheduled.
But before Porus left, he specifically asked me to bring this cake here."
As Wood spoke, he handed the beautifully wrapped cake in his hand to the blond loli in front of him.
When the little Loli saw the cake, she originally showed a very happy expression, but when she heard that her father could not celebrate her birthday as promised, she couldn't help but show a disappointed expression.
"You must be the daughter of Mr. Porus. Just as Mr. Porus said, you are really a beautiful angel. Although it is a bit early, I would like to say it in advance and wish you a happy birthday."
Looking at the beautifully packaged cake in her hand and hearing Wood's blessing to her, the girl politely replied: "Thank you, brother."
Children's emotions always come and go quickly. Although the girl complained about her father's broken promise, after opening the box and seeing the huge cream cake inside, her dissatisfaction was instantly forgotten.
Porus's wife, on the other hand, saw a hint of embarrassment on Wood's expression for a moment, and immediately realized something was wrong, so she said: "Annie, be good, take the cake back to the house first, mother has something to say to this brother alone."
Tell me."
When the girl heard what her mother said, she obviously didn't have the slightest doubt. She happily held the cake box and ran back home.
And when he was about to enter the house, he didn't forget to poke his head out and look at his mother and said: "Mom, please hurry up, the cake will not taste good if it is left for a long time..."
After forcing a smile to deal with her daughter, Porus's wife looked at Wood again, her face had turned serious.
"Mr. Wood, tell me the truth, how is my husband Porus doing now?
If it is an urgent mission, according to his personality, he should not only ask you to come over and deliver a cake to Annie, but at least leave some letter to explain to me."
Women are inherently very sensitive and intuitive creatures. Porus's wife had felt that something was wrong before, and she was even more convinced of her thoughts when she saw Wood's inadvertent look of regret when he looked at Anne.
"Although it is regrettable, the real situation is that your husband Porus is dead.
Just as he was on his way back to see you, I was one of the people who took action.
It doesn't matter if you want to hate me, after all, we all have different positions, and the enemy is the enemy. If Madam wants to be my enemy, I will still not be merciful!"
Since he couldn't hide it, Wood simply confessed all the facts directly. After all, the other party also had the right to know the true situation.
"Is that really the case... Mr. Wood, you should be from the Revolutionary Army, right? Or are you an orphan from a certain village, and you have come back to seek revenge on my husband this time?"
What surprised Wood was that when she heard that her husband Porus died in his own hands, Porus's wife's mood fluctuated greatly, but she was more sad about Porus' death.
Wood didn't feel much of the hatred generated by him.
"Porus is a very gentle man, and he often regretted becoming a soldier of the empire.
Although he has been hiding his work from us to avoid us worrying, how much can he hide from a partner who has been with him day and night all year round and slept with him in the same bed.
I know very well that he has done a lot of wrong things, and he often tells me many things as if he were giving his last words, but I didn’t expect that this day would come so unexpectedly.”
"I will not bear grudge against Mr. Wood, let alone tell Anne the truth, because this was also my husband's previous wish.
At the same time, as a mother, I don't want my daughter to fall into the quagmire of revenge and end up running to die in vain.
Mr. Wood was able to deliver this last cake to Porus in person, which shows that he is also a man with a gentle heart. The sins committed by my husband Porus have been repaid, can this matter end here?
Now, I just want to fulfill my husband's last wish and, as a mother, raise my daughter well."
As Porus' wife spoke, she bowed down to Wood very humbly.
She didn't know what Porus had done to Wood, nor did she know the relationship between Wood and Porus, but there should be no doubt that the two were hostile.
It is very common to eliminate the root cause. After all, no one will leave any hidden dangers that endanger their own safety, even if it is just a mother and daughter who seem harmless.
"Madam, please raise your head, I never intended to embarrass you mother and daughter from the beginning.
Even if you later want to hold grudges against me or even seek revenge from me, it doesn't matter. Since you have done some things, you must be prepared to pay the price.
Just like your husband Porus, I am the same now, and if I really do something to you, madam, do you think you can still stand here now?"
Wood, who said these words, turned around and left without giving the young woman any room to answer the question.
However, after walking a few steps, Wood seemed to suddenly remember something. He turned to look at the young woman again and said, "Porus's grave is in a forest within two kilometers north of here.
And if it's really for your daughter's good, find a way to move as soon as possible. Without Porus' protection, his past enemies or future revolutionary troops may find this place.
But don’t expect other guys to be as soft-hearted as me.”
After hearing Wood's last words, the young woman's body visibly trembled, and then she bowed deeply to express her gratitude to the black-haired boy's back again.
