78 Extra Helping Hands (2/2)

A few meters away at the other side of the door.

”W-wait did they say they are the personal guards of Prince Ashton?” the middle aged man had a shocked look on his face as he was already to swing his golf club at them if they try to barge inside.

”They did say that, so shall we open the door and leave with them? I heard that Prince Ashton is a nice person” the wife asked her husband as she didn't know if they should leave with the soldiers or just stay here at their comfort zone, their house.

”Nice? Those are just rumors. We don't even know him personally how do you know he's actually nice?” the husband said in disdain but didn't lower his guard.

”Then are you saying that we should stay here and wait for our deaths? You should know that we are already running out of food here” the wife scowled as she replied angrily.

”T-this…” the husband was suddenly put into a dilemma as he finally remembered that they are already running out of food.

When the man saw the pitiful look his wife is in, he sighed to himself and gave her a hug which startled his wife but the latter immediately hugged him back after that.

The man then separated from her and walked towards their front door and held the door knob but he paused as he looked back at his wife who nodded at him.

”Alright, I'll open the door! If you guys do something stupid I will fight you to death!” the man yelled as he slowly opened the door just enough for the half of his face to be seen.

”You said you would bring us out of here and get us to a safe place?”

”Yes, so immediately pack up as we would leave immediately” one of the soldiers showed his most sincere smile when he saw half of the man's face cautiously looking at them from the other side of the door.

The middle aged man didn't answer but instead started looking back and forth at the two soldiers which lasted for only a moment and the man said, ”You guys won't hurt us, right?”

”We certainly won't” the other soldier reassured him.

The middle aged man then sighed to himself before saying, ”Alright, please wait for us while me and my wife packs up” after that he closed the door and even locked it. He then told his wife that they are going with them and asked her to immediately packed up their clothes and along with anything useful for them.

The same scenes happened to the others where the residents were cautious of them.

Some decided to follow the soldier and try their luck outside and leave the comfort of their homes while others rudely rejected and some even cursed at them from which the soldiers didn't mind but instead cursed in their hearts, 'Heh, let's see if you don't regret it then'

Leo had the survivors occupy the vacant seats of the vehicles and when Leo heard that there are others who wanted to stay put while some even cursing the soldiers. Leo didn't get angry and instead sent them his prayers and he even generously left a liter of clean water and a packed of cup noodles and some canned foods.

After that, Leo left them for a bit and started going to the abandoned houses and started looting useful things for the camp like cooking utensils, some spices, garden tools that are passable as weapons and even dining sets wasn't spared, he even had the gall to loot the houses that was just recently abandoned a few seconds ago.

Leo was like a bandit stealing stuff in broad daylight without any care at all at his surroundings especially the ugly looks of the rescued survivors seeing that their homes for almost half of their halves are being ransacked in front of them and they can't do anything about it but just watch.

After a few minutes later, Leo finally got out from the last house around where they stopped and stretched himself before walking to the rest of the group like there was nothing wrong.

”Let's go!” Leo smiled as he ignored the ugly look of the prince and got on his bike as he turned it on.

Prince Ashton was feeling ashamed at what Leo did as he won't he found out that his guards actually used his name while trying to convinced the survivors to leave with them which would have been okay for him but what Leo did made him looked like a Bandit Boss as he tried to ignore the stares of the rescued survivors as he got on the truck as they finally resumed their journey.

All in all, Leo rescued seventeen people divided into five families, food supplies that would last at least a few months for the camp, some building resources and long with….ten sets of dining tables and chairs, some cooking utensils and table wares.

”Humm...Humm…” while Leo was humming a happy tune, inside the truck just following behind him was a prince yelling his frustrations for having his reputation and image being ruined in the eyes of the people they brought with him but Brock immediately made him realized that the people they picked up won't be coming with them if they get back at their base and would instead follow Leo as they were his responsibilities and rescuing people was his idea all along and hearing his explanation, made the prince sighed in relief but the dark look on his wasn't disappearing yet as he still felt indignant inside.

'F*cking asshole!' Prince Ashton cursed while staring angrily at the back of Leo.

Brock just sighed and shook his head, seeing his actions, 'Even a prince would have their bad days I see'.

Of course Leo just ignored what was happening behind even though he clearly them but instead felt laughing to himself when he gave them his condition before.

'Hooo~ Rescuing them was really a great idea as having extra ”helping hands” isn't that bad of an idea'
