Manuela thought for a moment, then went inside.
When Shen Ye and his group entered the largest room in the manor, Fabiola had already placed the brewed coffee and black tea on the coffee table, and a middle-aged man was sitting on the sofa next to the coffee table.
"Let me introduce you. This is my father, the former head of the Labras family, Diego Joche San Fernande Labras."
Garcia walked over to his father and introduced him to Shen Ye and the others.
"Hello, Mr. Diego," Shen Ye and the other two greeted each other politely.
“Hello, guests from afar,” Diego said, standing up. “Please have a seat.”
Then he looked at Shen Ye and continued, "You must be the Shen Ye that Garcia and Robert have been talking about. Thank you for your help to them in Roanapur."
"It was just a tiny bit of help, nothing much," Shen Ye said modestly.
“You’re too modest.” Garcia’s father shook his head with a smile. Then he looked at Manuela sitting next to Shen Ye, and especially after seeing her white dress that was almost stained with camouflage, he turned to Fabiola and said, “Go and prepare some hot water. I think this young lady needs to change into a clean set of clothes.”
Fabiola nodded and turned to leave the living room.
Then Diego said to Robert, "Robert, go find a clean set of clothes and then take this lady to the bathroom on the second floor."
Robert nodded, walked up to Manuela, and said, "Please come with me."
Manuela didn't get up, but glanced at Shen Ye somewhat awkwardly.
"Go ahead," Shen Ye said. "Don't be too reserved."
Manuela then got up and followed Robert to the second floor.
After they left, Diego picked up his teacup, took a sip of black tea, and slowly said, "Fabiola told me she is Javier's daughter. Is that true?"
“That’s right,” Shen Ye nodded.
“That’s a real problem.” Diego took another sip of tea. “I’ve dealt with Javier before. He’s not a very easy person to get along with. He has a terrible temper and dotes on his daughter, almost to the point of being pathological. If he finds out his daughter is here, he’ll definitely cause trouble.”
"And I heard that in recent years he has obtained some strange drugs from somewhere and created a lot of monsters."
"What kind of monster?" Leon asked, a thought flashing through his mind.
“There are frogs that look like they’ve been magnified dozens of times, and spiders that are as big as washbasins. Of course, I’ve only heard about these from the villagers nearby,” Diego said.
"Isn't anyone in charge?" Shen Ye asked, somewhat puzzled. "Like the local government."
"Them?" Diego smiled. "This is South America, the largest backyard of the United States. There is no stable place here. And he is very rich. He is the biggest drug lord in South America. You should know that there is nothing in this world that money cannot solve."
Moreover, he already maintained a large gang of members, and now that he has created a monster, no one dares to interfere.
"That's not certain."
Lyon's tone was somewhat dissatisfied, probably because of Diego's earlier comment that South America was unstable because it was the largest backyard of the United States.
"I'm here to arrest Javier."
"You?" Diego paused for a moment, glanced at Garcia behind him, but the other shook his head, so he looked at Shen Ye again.
“Leon is a CIA agent from the United States. He came to the rainforest this time to take care of Havel’s problem,” Shen Ye said.
“Haha, that’s quite a rare sight.” Diego laughed mockingly. “And what’s more, I actually had a CIA agent sitting across from me, hahahaha.”
After laughing for a while, Diego sighed: "Anyway, since you're here to deal with Javier, you're a friend, even if you're a CIA agent."
“But how can you deal with Javier all by yourself?” Diego asked again.
“I have my own way,” Lyon said.
Diego gave Lyon a deep look, then stopped asking questions and started chatting with Shen Ye about the local customs and culture, since Fabiola had told him that Shen Ye was there for tourism.
After chatting for a while, Robert and Manuela came down from the second floor.
The girl, who had already finished showering, changed into a white dress, which, combined with her golden hair, made her look incredibly beautiful and dazzling under the lights.
"She's so beautiful," Leon whispered to Shen Ye, trying to look away.
“Indeed, it’s indescribable.” Shen Ye looked at Manuela walking towards him and said in a low voice.
However, although they spoke very softly, Manuela, like Alexia, had also been injected with the Veronica virus, so she naturally heard everything clearly. She then blushed and sat down next to Shen Ye, lowering her head shyly.
Chapter 116! Gunshots in the Night
……
After chatting for a while, Fabiola suddenly appeared out of nowhere and reminded everyone that dinner was ready.
At Garcia's warm invitation, everyone enjoyed the dinner to the fullest. However, as the meal ended, everyone went about their own business.
Garcia's father, due to his age and health, stayed with him for a while before going upstairs to rest.
Garcia himself, having taken over his father's mission, also had to handle the family's few but somewhat tedious tasks.
The little maid Fabiola began her post-meal cleaning duties, running around busily.
Leon told Shen Ye that he was going to contact his teammates, and then disappeared with a miniature radio.
So, Shen Ye and Manuela, led by Robert, strolled around the manor and the surrounding area.
Because the weather was nice today and the moonlight was exceptionally bright, the three of them strolled under the moonlight and quickly explored most of the manor. Then they left the manor and followed the path to a nearby river.
“This is all family land. Even without considering what’s buried underneath, just growing crops on top is enough to keep the family afloat,” Robert explained to Shen Ye and Manuela as he led the way.
On the path leading to the river, there were large areas of flat land on both sides, one of which was planted with what looked like banana trees or something similar.
"What about this side?" Shen Ye pointed to another large open space and said, "Why not plant it all?"
“Of course we would like to, but we simply can’t find anyone.” Robert glanced at Manuela. “The nearby villages are alright, because they are close to the town of Seine, and there are still some people there, but many villages further away have become deserted areas.”
Noticing Robert's gaze, Manuela's face darkened; she knew it must be because of her father.
"Alright." Shen Ye had guessed the reason and shook his head slightly.
After glancing at Manuela, who was lost in self-blame, Shen Ye changed the subject and started talking about the moonlight that day.
……
As they chatted and walked toward the river, two of Havel's hidden men were observing them from the opposite bank using night vision goggles.
"The one walking at the back must be Miss Manuela," one of them said.
“It should be her. I’ve seen the lady in person, and she has the exact same figure,” another person replied.
"Since Miss is here, let's hurry back and tell Boss Havel," the person who spoke first said, turning off his night vision goggles.
"it is good."
The other person nodded and also put away the night vision goggles.
Just as they got up to leave, ripples suddenly appeared on the previously calm water.
The two noticed the commotion but didn't pay much attention, assuming it was caused by fish in the river. So one of them simply said, "Remember this spot, we'll come here to fish next time we have time."
The other person smiled and nodded, then walked with their companion toward where they had parked.
However, they hadn't gone far when the person at the back felt as if something was tangling around his feet.
The man was startled, thinking he had stepped on a snake. Just as he was about to look down, he felt a tremendous force pull him down.
"what!"
The man only had time to let out a cry of "Ah!" before he was dragged into the river.
Hearing the noise and the sound of water behind him, the person in front turned around and then realized that his companion was gone.
"Pele, where did you go?" he whispered to his companion.
However, there was no response to him; the surroundings were eerily quiet.
He could only slowly walk towards the river, thinking to himself that this was probably a joke his companion was playing on him.
Just as he reached the riverbank and peered into the water, a hand suddenly emerged from the water, only to be immediately pulled back in by something.
"My God!" The man was terrified and pulled out his pistol, aiming it at the water.
But he quickly realized what was happening, turned around, and ran away.
However, he hadn't run more than a few steps when he heard a loud splashing sound behind him. Before he could even turn around, a thick tail pierced through his chest.
"No..." He looked down at his chest blankly, then his body was suddenly pulled down and dragged into the water.
As he was being dragged, his strong will to survive drove him to pull the trigger.
boom!
In the quiet night, the gunshot carried far and wide, alerting Shen Ye and his companions who were about to take a walk along the river.
"The gunshots came from the other side of the river. Judging from the sound, it should be a pistol," Shen Ye said, pressing Manuella's head down to make her squat.
"Want to go take a look?" Roberta lifted her skirt, pulled a pistol from a holster strapped to her thigh, and asked, "There's a bridge up ahead; we can cross it."
Shen Ye didn't respond, but continued to listen. After that first shot, the second shot didn't ring for a long time, so he nodded and said, "Let's go take a look."
The bridge Robert mentioned was not far ahead on the riverbank, and the three of them quickly circled around to the other side of the river.
Shen Ye then drew his pistol, holding a flashlight in his other hand. He rested the gun-wielding hand on the arm holding the flashlight and slowly walked toward the location where the gunshot had rang out.
Soon, they found a pickup truck not far ahead, and upon seeing it, Manuela clenched her fists because she saw the symbol of her father's gang on the vehicle.
