A top-tier gigolo, teased by a cool and aloof general, turns warm.

Midnight.

Shi Yu arrived at the agreed-upon location with Raphael on time.

He stood there, gazing into the distance, anticipating Raphael's arrival.

After standing there for a while, he finally saw a white figure slowly walking towards him.

The white figure stood out conspicuously in the moonlight, but for some reason, Shi Yu felt a chill run down his spine.

He had some doubts, but he still quickly went to meet them.

A joyful smile spread across his face as he said, "You've finally arrived! Let's go!"

As he approached, he heard a lazy voice tinged with a hint of indifference.

Where are we going?

Shi Yu suddenly stopped in his tracks, thinking to himself that something seemed off about the voice.

His mind raced; it was Robin who had arrived.

Raphael is likely in grave danger.

To conceal his doubts, Shi Yu feigned nonchalance and complained.

"Why did you keep me waiting so long? You'll have to make it up to me later!"

"How will you compensate me?"

The insect's voice remained indifferent, and one could even detect a hint of suppressed anger within it.

Shi Yu felt a tightness in his chest, but on the surface he pretended to be nonchalant.

He smiled slightly, revealing a somewhat frivolous expression.

He leaned over and grabbed Robin's hand.

He said with a grin, "Hehe... now you can't escape!"

Robin looked disgusted and abruptly shook off his hand.

"Don't forget, you are Lady Gaia's fiancé, and you are about to have your wedding."

"Now that you're having ambiguous relationships with other insects, aren't you afraid that if Lord Gaia finds out, he'll tear you to pieces?"

"If you don't tell, and I don't tell, no bug will know about our relationship..."

As he spoke, Shi Yu secretly released his mental energy, which surged into Robin's mental sea.

It stirred the energy ruthlessly, causing the spiritual energy within to instantly become violent.

After doing all this, he quickly withdrew his mental energy.

Then, he threw a heavy punch, slamming it into his temple.

Robin was struck by this sudden blow and fell heavily to the ground, losing consciousness.

Shi Yu looked at the insect lying on the ground with an extremely cold expression.

"Don't blame me for being ruthless. Who told you to attack me first? I'm just taking revenge."

His voice was cold and calm, without the slightest emotional fluctuation.

He unleashed a powerful spiritual force, which swept across the entire manor like a surging torrent.

This spiritual force is all-pervasive, solely focused on finding Raphael's whereabouts.

After a thorough search, Shi Yu finally found Raphael's trail in the storage room on the first floor.

He rushed over in a hurry, not daring to delay for even a moment.

Rushing into the storage room, the sight of Raphael tightly bound by ropes instantly ignited a sense of unease within me.

He strode forward and untied Raphael from his restraints.

He asked with concern, "Are you alright? Are you hurt anywhere?"

Raphael shook his head. "I'm fine, just some minor injuries."

His gaze fell on Shi Yu, as if he wanted to say something but hesitated.

After a moment of silence, Raphael finally made his decision.

She said to Shi Yu, "If you can't accept me, then please stop being nice to me. It will only make me more miserable."

Shi Yu's throat felt like it was blocked with cotton, and he couldn't make a sound.

Since she couldn't reciprocate Raphael's feelings, she really shouldn't have given him hope.

"I'm just showing concern for my friend, so don't feel guilty."

Shi Yu took a deep breath and tried to calm his voice.

"I'll be more careful in the future."

Raphael did not respond.

He walked ahead with a limp, his body swaying as if he might fall at any moment.

His steps appeared unusually difficult, each one as if he were fighting against pain.

Shi Yu pursed her lips, feeling an urge to help him up.

However, this might offend the other party, so I ultimately decided to follow silently from behind, maintaining a suitable distance.

As Raphael approached the gate and prepared to descend the steps, he suddenly lost his footing, lost his balance, and fell straight forward.

Seeing this, Shi Yu could no longer sit idly by.

He rushed forward and quickly scooped Raphael up in his arms to prevent him from getting hurt again.

"Escaping is the priority, just treat me like your own brother!"

Shi Yu carried Raphael and hurried along, muttering to himself.

Raphael, however, remained silent in her arms for a long time.

Although Shi Yu felt a little strange, he didn't think much of it and just quickened his pace, hoping to leave the manor as soon as possible.

Place Raphael in the passenger seat and fasten his seatbelt.

During this process, his gaze inadvertently swept across that scarred face.

Shi Yu's heart stirred.

He solemnly said, "From now on, I'm your older brother. You can come to me for anything."

Raphael chuckled self-deprecatingly. "I'm three years older than you."

Shi Yu was slightly taken aback, but then he realized what was happening.

He quickly replied, "Uh, I don't mind."

He thought to himself, "I lived to be twenty-eight in my previous life and have lived here for five years now, so I'm not actually at a disadvantage in terms of age."

"Lord Shi Yuxiong, are you trying to escape again?"

A cold, mechanical voice sounded behind him, startling Shi Yu so much that he trembled.

He turned around and stared in horror at the source of the sound.

Only after seeing clearly that it was Black Friday with a bad face did I breathe a slight sigh of relief.

But his heart was still pounding from the shock.

He steadied himself, patted his chest, and tried to make his voice sound calmer.

"Black Friday, you've misunderstood me. I'm not running away; I'm going home in a perfectly legitimate way."

The robotic insect didn't seem to understand the meaning of those words; it kept turning its metal head.

It makes a buzzing sound, as if it is thinking about what it is trying to express.

After a while, it asked again, "When will you be back?"

When faced with the machine insect's persistent questioning, Shi Yu was somewhat speechless.

Clutching her hair, she pondered how to answer.

In the end, he decided to use the simplest method to get by.

"Uh... well, I haven't decided yet, so don't worry about me, go back now, no need to see me off."

Shi Yu chuckled twice, then waved his hand, signaling the robot bug to leave quickly.

Black Friday seemed hesitant, but ultimately obeyed Shi Yu's orders and walked back step by step on his mechanical legs.

Watching the robot bug's departing figure, Shi Yu's mind conjured up the image of Xiao Hei's twisted and broken body.

As if possessed, I called out to it.

"Black Friday, would you like to come home with me?"

"I do."

Black Friday turned around at lightning speed and rushed over.

Shi Yu breathed a long sigh of relief.

The aircraft smoothly took off from the manor. Shi Yu looked out the window at the rapidly receding night view, feeling as if it were a dream.

He shook his head, thinking, "I hope everything goes smoothly..."
