Chapter 044: Snatching Love Away

Wang Bo stood up and said, "Wait here a moment. I'll be right back."

Then, with a teleport, he arrived above the Hydra base in Sokovia, activated his X-ray vision, and scanned the entire base.

Indeed, in a certain room, he found a teenage blond boy.

Both his build and appearance matched Roberta's description.

After scanning a few more times to confirm there was no second blond boy in the base, he raised his hand and teleported the boy to his side.

A second later, Wang Bo teleported back to his villa with the boy.

For Wang Bo, rescuing someone was that simple.

Unless the other side had mages or sorcerers who could detect Wang Bo and set up barriers, ordinary places couldn't stop him.

In Wang Bo's view, going to the Hydra base was no different from entering a public restroom.

But from Roberta's perspective, Wang Bo had disappeared after learning the approximate location where the young master was imprisoned.

A minute later, Wang Bo returned.

What surprised her even more was that when Wang Bo came back, he brought someone with him. Roberta's heart trembled slightly, for this person was the young master she had been longing for day and night.

"Young master." Roberta could no longer hold back her longing; she rushed forward and embraced the little boy.

"Roberta?"

The young master still didn't understand what was happening, but when he came to his senses and felt the maid holding him, a relieved smile appeared on his face.

"Roberta, Roberta, Roberta..." He murmured the name softly, as if he could draw strong and reassuring power from it.

After a long while, the two calmed down.

Roberta introduced Wang Bo to her young master and told him that his escape from Hydra was all thanks to Wang Bo's help.

The blond boy displayed appropriate manners and gratitude, thanking Wang Bo.

It was clear that the young master had received a very good education.

Wang Bo waved his hand and said, "It's nothing, just my job."

Indeed, for Wang Bo, rescuing people was merely his job. Because it was work, he didn't need anyone's gratitude.

But even so, he felt a certain fondness for the polite young master.

"Alright, no need for pleasantries. You've been away from home for so long; you must miss your homeland. I'll send you back now."

With that, Wang Bo prepared to send them home.

"Please wait, sir." Roberta suddenly called a halt and bowed to Wang Bo, saying, "Sir, please allow me to say goodbye to the young master."

"Goodbye?" The young master immediately realized what was happening and said in a flustered tone, "Roberta, aren't you coming with me?"

In the cold Hydra base, the only reason he had endured was because of Roberta. Every time she visited him, it was his happiest moment.

He had gained so much courage from Roberta. If she left him now, he truly didn't know what to do.

Roberta patted the young master's shoulder and said loudly, "Young master, please be strong."

The young master was immediately subdued by Roberta's imposing presence.

Roberta continued, "Young master, after all you've been through, you should mature. You are the young head of the Labres family; show the courage of a young head!"

"You are no longer a child, young master."

"Even if I'm not by your side in the future, you must display the spirit of the Labres family's young head, young master!"

"And, apologize to the master—no, to Mr. Labres for me."

"Young master, from now on, please take care of yourself and Mr. Labres."

Hearing Roberta's farewell words, tears seemed to well up in the young master's eyes, but he bravely held them back.

"I... I understand, Roberta."

He now knew that Wang Bo's rescue of him was likely due to Roberta's sacrifice.

After all, he had already known back at Hydra.

That organization valued him only because of Roberta.

Now this man was the same, but he didn't resent Wang Bo; he resented his own powerlessness. If not for his incompetence, Roberta wouldn't have to leave him.

So he had decided to leave with a smile today. Then he would grow up, become a man stronger than anyone else. From now on, he would never make anyone worry again.

Wang Bo watched the two as if they were parting forever, wanting to interrupt several times, but was held back by the atmosphere of "Young master, be strong" and "Yes, I will be strong."

However, seeing their reluctance to part, Wang Bo couldn't stand it anymore.

"Roberta, it seems you've misunderstood something?"

Roberta was taken aback.

"You are a transmigrator, and my job is to send transmigrators home. So you can't become my exclusive maid. Therefore, consider what I said earlier as unsaid."

"S-sir..." Roberta was shocked and stammered, "Is that really... really okay?"

"What can I do? You're a transmigrator." Wang Bo said helplessly.

In truth, Wang Bo could have taken Roberta as his exclusive maid, but in exchange, he wouldn't be able to draw a lottery.

After all, he hadn't sent Roberta home.

Or rather, the prize itself was Roberta.

However, Wang Bo didn't like snatching love away. Since Roberta couldn't bear to part with her young master, Wang Bo wouldn't force it. After all, the myriad worlds were infinite; in the multiverse, Wang Bo would eventually find a maid devoted to him wholeheartedly.

Missing out on Roberta was regrettable, but Wang Bo didn't absolutely need her.

Moreover, sending Roberta away would allow him to draw a lottery. What if he got something good this time?

So after some thought, Wang Bo ultimately chose to give up and let the young master have his way.

"Thank you very much, Mr. Wang Bo."

Seeing Wang Bo relent, the young master bowed deeply to him in gratitude.

Roberta also bowed to Wang Bo. "Thank you for your magnanimity, sir."

"Alright, I'll send you home now." He didn't like the atmosphere before parting, so he cut through the knot and directly sent the young master and Roberta away.
