"Roy, you're my idol from now on!" He was so excited, feeling even more fortunate that he had chosen to come to this country. In his world travels, although he had been chased before, it was very difficult to escape. But none of those times gave him the exhilarating feeling this one did!
"And me! Buddy, if you were a woman, I'd fall for you!" Leonardo chimed in.
Roy was speechless, not knowing what to say to these two blockheads with their thick skin.
"If you want to lure the two from the front door over, just shout as much as you like."
God played a small joke on him then. Before he could finish speaking, Angelo was already excitedly pointing behind him, "They're here!"
"...," Roy turned around and indeed saw the two who had been standing in front pretending to talk, now nervously aiming two guns at them.
Damn it! He wanted to curse.
Handling one gun was manageable, but what about these two coming over? Seeing their trembling hands, it was clear they were even more inexperienced than the previous guy.
He had always disliked being with such novices, especially as opponents, because no one knew what unorthodox things they might do next. Looking at those shaking hands, if their guns went off accidentally, he wouldn't find it surprising at all.
And that Angelo! Who exactly was he with? Seeing two guns pointed at him, why was he smiling so happily?
And Leonardo! At a time like this, it would be better to just stand still. Why keep moving around, not worried that the two novices might mistake your movements as an attack and panic, firing a few holes into you?
Feeling tired. This was a true reflection of Roy's mood at the moment.
Just as he was thinking about how to deal with these two when there was no danger, a familiar and teasing voice came from above, "Hey, looks like I arrived just in time."
It was a very familiar voice, with a familiarity in the tone that Roy recognized. He looked up at the voice and before he could see who it was, he saw darkness in front of him, and two figures had already descended from the sky, knocking out the two novices cleanly, one on each side.
"Xiao Ye?!" Roy finally saw the appearance of the newcomer clearly.
This was something he hadn't expected. In his impression, this guy was a makeup artist with extraordinary skills, about the same age as him, but had already won two or three Oscars. The two had cooperated during "Pirates of the Caribbean" and had a good relationship.
"How did you end up here?" Seeing how he had knocked out the people just now, Roy was sure their reunion was not a miraculous coincidence. And the way he had acted, as well as his actions, all indicated that he was not a real makeup artist. So why did he stay by Laila's side?
Laila, where did she find such a weirdo?
"Now is not the time to talk. You can thank me later. Follow us for now." Xiao Ye and the burly man he brought with him entered an alley first.
"..." Roy stopped talking and followed closely behind them with Leonardo and Angelo who shouted "It's so exciting"
It was unclear how Xiao Ye knew these twisted alleys. Some places were so narrow that two people passing each other had to squeeze. However, after following him for a while, these alleys suddenly opened up.
Then, Xiao Ye led them into a company without any fuss and naturally walked through the back door into a place that seemed like a warehouse.
Although it was called a warehouse, after opening the door, they found a room that was very comfortably furnished.
"Oh my god, it's a bed, with a mattress!" Leonardo cheered and pounced onto the bed. Who knows how long it had been since he had slept on a mattress?
Angelo, on the other hand, was looking at the weapons hung on the walls, excitedly exclaiming how cool they were while inspecting the display on the wall. If those guns weren't locked in glass cabinets, he would have already picked them up to play with.
Roy didn't have their thick skins. Xiao Ye's appearance was too timely, and his actions and behavior indicated he wasn't just a makeup artist. So what was the real reason he stayed by Laila's side?
He had seen Xiao Ye's makeup skills and knew his extraordinary ability to transform, but couldn't his skills bring him more wealth elsewhere? He didn't believe that such a person would choose to stay at the company to serve Laila and her movies just because he wanted to be a makeup artist.
"Who exactly are you?"
Xiao Ye took out a few cans of beer from the fridge and tossed one to each of them. After taking a few big gulps himself, he smiled, "We've worked together more than once, don't you know who I am?" "Pirates of the Caribbean" alone has already released three films, and the fourth one has been planned. Now he's asking who he is.
Alright, he was indeed pretending, and he knew what he meant by asking that. But even if he knew, why did he have to answer?
Let him say what he wanted to say, wouldn't that be too characterless?
Roy didn't know what he was thinking, but at this moment, he was more concerned about Laila. Although he had been saved by him and his friends, he couldn't sit idly by with such a dangerous character staying by Laila's side.
What if he was intentionally lurking? What if he had some hidden agenda for staying at the company? By that time, it would be Laila who would be hurt!
Seeing Roy's increasingly cold gaze, Xiao Ye couldn't help but smile, "Relax. Laila knows about me. Otherwise, why do you think I came here? And so coincidentally ran into you?" He's quite a lucky kid. If he were still in the organization, he wouldn't have come all the way to save him. With his skills, he wouldn't be willing to take orders unless it's for a world-saving mission!
Well, there might be such a possibility. If what he said was true...
"Did she ask you to come?"
Roy's eyes softened, "My phone broke, and there were some unexpected events, so I couldn't contact the outside world." Leonardo's phone had been lost as soon as he entered this country, and Angelo didn't even have a phone with him, making it impossible for him to contact Laila.
"How is she?"
"She's okay. Just worried because you haven't contacted her for so long, thinking you might have encountered some danger. Turns out you really did, I really admire her foresight."
