CHAPTER 40 WHAT YOU WANT. "

When the man in black appeared, Selina was protected by the guards. Isabel had carefully chosen these guards, so their combat abilities were clear to see. He quickly escaped from the surprise attack of the man in black and quickly organized an effective defense against it.

The moment the guards took the initiative, the man in black suddenly made a surprising move. He scattered like a tide and disappeared into the night. Even though they had the advantage, the guards didn't chase after them. After all, they were in the wilderness. Once they split up and gave chase, the consequences would be dire if another group of people came. Although they didn't give chase, the guards weren't idle either. They began to clean up the casualties.

The terrified Bobby and Samantha returned to their senses and immediately ran towards the horse carriage that Ji Feng was in.

Bobby, who was faster, called out from a distance, "Young master, young master!"

Having not heard the reply from Ji Feng, Bobby rushed to the front and directly opened the door of the horse carriage, only to discover that the interior of the horse carriage was empty. Bobby shouted again. At this moment, Samantha arrived as well.

Upon seeing Bobby's reaction, Samantha realized that something had happened to the young master so she asked in haste: "Bobby, where is the young master?"

"I don't know. Let's split up and search."

After Bobby and Samantha separated, they began to search in two different directions, simultaneously calling for the monsoon.

Selina had also calmed down from her initial state of shock. She did not expect that she would be ambushed. After all, she was only lacking the ability to reveal her identity.

After a while, Selina heard Bobby and Samantha calling for Ji Feng. She immediately walked towards Samantha, who was the closest to her.

Upon seeing Selina, Samantha immediately stopped and called out respectfully, "Princess."

"Samantha, are you looking for Bolnen?"

"The young master is missing. Bobby and I are both looking for him."

"Did you ask those guards?"

"I asked some people, but they said they didn't see it."

As the camp area was not very large, when Samantha was stopped by Selina, Bobby had already searched the entire camp and finally arrived at where Selina and Samantha were.

Upon seeing Bobby walking towards them, Samantha immediately went up to him and asked him from a distance, "Bobby, did you find the young master?"

"Nope." When Bobby spoke, his face was filled with uncertainty.

Upon hearing Bobby's words, the last hope in Samantha's heart was shattered, and her face turned ashen. As the masters' servants, their masters' lives were uncertain, but as servants, they were safe and sound. If they went back, they would definitely face punishment. Though Leticia was usually nice to them, that didn't mean she could forgive them.

"Bobby, how did you find out your young master was missing?"

Bobby recounted the events in detail to Selina, who was about to speak when the head of Isabel's guard, Paulette, came over.

"Your Highness, the number of casualties has been calculated. Four of us died in battle, two were severely injured, and seven were lightly injured. Three of the men in black died, and one of them committed suicide after escaping."

"Why is the difference so huge?"

"The men in black are all assassins, and we are soldiers."

The meaning behind what Bo Li was saying was that as warriors, they were very adept at fighting on the battlefield. However, when faced with assassins, their methods were very simple.

"Go and ask if anyone has seen Baron Bonan."

Although she was very dissatisfied with this result, Selina did not blame Paulette for it. After all, he still had to fulfill his duty for the rest of the journey. Although this was the first time that Selina had experienced true battle, she wasn't an idiot. Borte acknowledged him, then turned around and left. Not long after, they heard his loud command.

Selina retracted her gaze from Borte's back. However, she found that Bobby was looking at her with a strange expression. Even Samantha's gaze towards her was not as respectful as she used to be. Both of them were on high alert.

Selina did not give much thought to Bobby and Samantha's reactions. Instead, she comforted them, "Bonan is not a fighter. He's probably looking for a place to hide."

Bobby and Samantha didn't say anything. They just looked at Selina, not even a hint of respect on their faces. Selina did not notice the change in their expressions.

Paulette didn't let them wait for long. Five minutes later, he was standing before Selina. Before she could say anything, he said, "Your Highness, a brother saw a black-clothed man running in that direction."

"What are you still standing there for? Bring someone to look for him!" Selina finally lost her temper. Although she didn't like Ji Feng, it didn't mean that she wanted to see him die. If Ji Feng really did die, then she would be in deep trouble.

Borte, who had rich combat experience, would never have made such a mistake. On the way here, he could tell that Selina and Ji Feng were on separate sides. Furthermore, they were Selina's guards. Naturally, Selina's safety was their top priority. Therefore, it was not hard to explain why Selina was safe and sound after the attack.

"Yes."

Bobby turned to Samantha. "You stay here, I'll go with them."

Selina wanted to stop him, but she found herself at a loss as to what to say. In the end, she slowly lowered her hand. At this moment, her heart was very complicated. She didn't know whether to be more worried or happy. If Ji Feng had died in this incident, she would have gotten what she wanted.

An hour later, Paulette and Bobby returned.

Looking at Selina's questioning face, Paulette immediately reported the results of the search. "Your Highness, we followed the footprints of the baron and the man in black, but their footprints suddenly disappeared. We searched around but did not find any clues."

"Then continue searching until you find it."

"I have already arranged for some people to follow the trail. For your safety, take half of the guards and leave after dawn. I will stay behind to find the baron."

"No, I want to stay."

"Your Highness, after all, this is the wilderness, and those people are assassins. If they come back, it will be even more difficult to guarantee your safety."

"I am very confident in your abilities. Don't you have confidence?"

Hearing Selina's words, Paulette knew that there was nothing she could do to change her decision, so she decided to mobilize more manpower to increase Selina's safety.

After Paulette left, Selina suddenly saw Bobby and Samantha whispering to each other. Their gazes would occasionally glance in her direction before they would frantically move away.

She immediately walked towards the two of them. Upon seeing her, Bobby and Samantha stopped talking and turned around at the same time to look coldly at Selina. The respect that the two of them had shown them along the way no longer existed.

Such a gaze made Samantha feel uncomfortable, and what made her even more uncomfortable was the way the two of them acted.

Seeing that the two of them had no intention of talking, Selina could not help but ask, "Why are you two looking at me like that?"

Bobby wanted to speak, but he was stopped by Samantha, who signaled him not to speak, but Bobby didn't listen to Samantha's words. He shook off her hand and said loudly, "Princess, isn't this the result you wanted?"
