Qi Ji was a little worried about the safety of the two passers-by. No matter what, Lanchester is a warrior who has reached the peak of his skills. His physical fitness is much better than those poor people in the South District who suffer from hunger and cold all year round. If he gets ruthless, the two passers-by might find it hard to withstand such enthusiasm, and their lives might even be in danger. Besides, if we let this demented Teddy bear Lanchester run rampant, I don’t know how many people he will harm. Qi Ji himself absolutely didn't dare to go back there and face that scene, otherwise he would vomit again. Therefore, she decided to entrust the great task of saving the two poor passers-by... to the shoulders of the extraordinary blonde girl in front of her. "Okay, I'll tell you," Qi Ji returned the handkerchief with a serious tone, "Don't be afraid of what I'm going to say next!" The blonde girl leaned back when she heard it, then frowned and leaned her head over: "Don't worry, I'm a noble, I'm not afraid." This is already within the boundaries of the central district. Those who live here are either nobles or their descendants, relatives, friends, or servants. The blonde girl in front of me is so young that it is unlikely that she is a noble herself. She was probably the daughter or cousin of a noble.
Qi Ji said with a straight face: "I saw Lanchester in the South District. He is crazy now. He will pounce on anyone he sees and assault them. At least two victims have been killed by him!" "Ah?!" The blonde girl was confused. "Lancaster? You mean Augustus' son?" "Yes, the one with red hair," Qi Ji urged, "Hurry up and take people to find him. You must control him quickly, otherwise many people's lives will become bleak!" "He's crazy? What's going on?!" The other party obviously didn't believe it, but nodded: "Okay, I will report the situation to the Lion Carpenter Family and the South District Security Team..." "The last time I saw him was near Blackthorn Street in the South District. Be sure to bring more people with you, it's very dangerous!" Qi Ji didn't bother with her any more. He just said this and ran away. He disappeared in the blink of an eye. "Okay, so fast!" Watching the petite figure disappear at the end of the street, the blonde girl blinked blankly, then came to her senses and walked quickly in one direction: "Augustus seems to be looking for Lanchester. I have to tell him this news. What if it's true?... Uh, such a cute girl shouldn't lie..." On the other side, Qi Ji returned to the wall of Iris Manor not long after. He skillfully bypassed the church's surveillance and climbed over the wall to sneak in. Then he quickly approached Lunxi's bedroom. Lunxi said that he would be able to go to her house to find her after noon. Now that Lanchester has experienced the biggest and most desperate incident, the time is almost up. The church bell tower has just struck twelve hums. "...Boom! - Boom! - Boom!..." Listening to the distant bell sounds floating in the distance, Qi Ji's mood gradually calmed down. The episode is over, and it's time to... Let’s get to the point. Chapter 86 Madness "Master! Master!" A panicked shout came from outside the door, "Young Master, we found him!" "Really?! That's great!" Augustus, who had been restless in the Lionsmith's residence, breathed a sigh of relief and stopped pacing back and forth for more than an hour:
"Whoever finds it will be rewarded with three thousand aires!" "My Lord, it was Butler Jeff," the servant who came to report looked a little unnatural, "Um, the information was provided by Vanya, the daughter of the Hodge-Tongzhongfei family, who said that the young master was in the South District..." "South District!?" Augustus sensed something was wrong and stared at him. "Is there something you didn't tell me?" He knew his son's temper very well. Under normal circumstances, it was impossible for his son, who was so ambitious, to run to a dirty place like the South District. The servant's flickering eyes further confirmed his premonition. "Tell me the truth, what happened to little Lance?!" Augustus walked up to the servant, stared at him, and asked harshly. As the head of the family, how heavy was Augustus's majesty? Just his eyes made the other person breathless, and his heart pounded against his throat. "Uh, well..." Under the aggressive gaze of his master, the servant turned his head away and said with trembling lips: "Master, the young master's condition... is indeed not very good. Uh, well, please don't get too excited after hearing this..." "Say it!" Augustus grabbed his shoulders, his eyes almost blazing. His fiery red hair had turned dark brown due to aging, but it made him look like an angry lion, and his aura was even more terrifying. "Uh, well... well, how should I put it..." The servant swallowed hard, opening and closing his mouth, as if he was using up all the ink in his stomach to try to describe a scene. But in the end, under Augustus' murderous gaze, he still said nothing. Instead, he sighed and whispered fearfully: "I am incompetent, there is really nothing I can do... Well, how about this, Master? I will take you to see it with your own eyes. The young master is in the side room now..." "Then take me there quickly!" Realizing that his beloved only son might be in danger, Augustus no longer cared about his demeanor as the head of the family and shouted with a red neck. "Yes Yes!" The servant wiped the cold sweat from his forehead with the back of his hand, turned around and led Augustus out of the main house, got on the carriage at the door, and drove to the outskirts of the Lion Craftsman Villa area. It didn't take long before the light two-wheeled carriage arrived at its destination: a two-story detached villa. As soon as Augustus got out of the car, he heard an incomprehensible shout coming from the house, a bit like the howl of a wild beast. However, even though it was so distorted, he still vaguely heard a sense of familiarity from that terrible roar... a sense of familiarity that made him feel like he was falling into an icy cave. "Master, the young master is inside, uh..." The servant was sweating profusely, "Well, Master, I advise you to be mentally prepared before going in, because the young master's current condition is really... uh, not optimistic..." Augustus didn't say anything. He walked past him with a grim face and trotted towards the door with extremely urgent steps. The closer he got, the clearer the beast-like roar became, and the sense of familiarity in it... also tightened his heart more. “Crack!——” He turned the doorknob with trembling hands. At that moment, a series of heart-wrenching roars came at him. “Hum, hum! Hummmmm! Hoo! Hoo! — Uuuuuuwaaaaah!!…” "Little Lance!"
Augustus could no longer remain calm and rushed into the villa, calling his son's nickname. "Don't be afraid! Little Lance, Daddy is here!" Lanchester's roar came from a bedroom on the first floor. Augustus ran to the bedroom door desperately and was about to open it. "Wait! Master! Wait!" "Master, calm down! You must not go in!" There were two servants guarding on both sides of the bedroom door. When they saw the always solemn and serious master of the house running towards them in such a rude manner, they were stunned at first, and then they hurried forward to stop him. "Get out! Get out of my way! Didn't you hear little Lance screaming in pain in there?!" Augustus was held by the arms by two servants and struggled frantically, "He needs my comfort! Get the hell out of my way!" "Master! Please listen to our explanation!" "The young master has gone mad... uh, he's in a very bad state, it seems like he's been poisoned and has become very... violent!" a servant explained loudly, "If you go in, you'll definitely be attacked by him!" "Are you kidding me?! I'm little Lance's father, the person he trusts and loves the most. How could you attack me?!" Augustus was so anxious that tears came to his eyes. Every roar from Lanchester in the room was like a sharp knife stabbing his heart. "Master! Master! Please listen to me!" The servant leading the way in the carriage came running over in a hurry, "Please wait in another house for a while. It won't be too late for you to meet the young master after we have calmed him down!" The attendant who stopped Augustus also hurriedly added: "Yes, yes, sir, we are doing this for your sake as well as for the young master's. We won't harm the young master, right?" "you……" Augustus calmed down a little at this time, but the inhuman roar still hurt his nerves. "Ten minutes!" After a difficult psychological struggle, he growled in pain, "I will only give you ten minutes! Within ten minutes, you must let me see the intact little Lance! Otherwise... none of you can escape!" "Yes, yes, we promise, we promise, the young master will be fine..." The three servants were covered in cold sweats, recalling the scene when they first found Lanchester, which was like a scene of mental pollution. They had no confidence in their promise, but they could only agree. "Hmph! Remember this, you must not let little Lance get hurt!" After giving his final instructions, Augustus left the villa, looking back every three steps, got in the carriage and went to the villa next door to wait. "Little Lance... my beloved little Lance... please don't let anything happen to you..." He sat on the large sofa, leaned over with his elbows supporting his knees, crossed his fingers and pressed them against his forehead, praying non-stop, his expression seemed to have aged countless times. Even though he was in another house, the howling that was so chilling just by hearing it still haunted his mind. After ten minutes of unbearable agony, the servant finally knocked on the door and whispered nervously: "Master, we are ready now. Please... come over here and take a look." "Quick! Take me there!" Augustus got up impatiently and ran to the small villa next door where Lanchester lived without waiting for the servant to lead the way.
"Master, slow down! Be careful not to fall!" Chapter 87 Only Miracles... Returning to the wooden bedroom door, Augustus clenched his fists. "Master, I would like to remind you in advance," the servant whispered carefully, "In order to prevent the young master from being too excited, we have taken some necessary stabilization measures for him. Don't worry, this will not hurt him. I just hope that you can be mentally prepared." "No problem." Augustus closed his eyes, took a deep breath, exhaled slowly, and then opened his eyelids. "Open the door." "As you command, sir." The attendants on both sides stepped forward, one put his hand on the door, and the other turned the doorknob and pushed it open. "Ah, ah, ah..." After seeing the scene inside, Augustus burst into tears. His knees went weak and he fell to the ground. In the small bedroom, Lanchester was naked and tied tightly to a chair with armrests and a backrest. His hands and feet were tied to the armrests and chair legs at the corresponding positions with thick hemp ropes, his torso and abdomen were also tied to the backrest, and a wooden stick wrapped in coarse cloth was stuffed into his mouth. The whole person was tied up like a dumpling, like a prisoner about to be tortured or a kidnapped hostage. The most frightening thing was his condition. Not only was his face distorted and twisted, his neck was bulging with veins, and his entire body was red as if it was on fire, like a vicious beast. Moreover, his whole body was sticky and gave off a strong fishy stench, and his naked lower body was swollen purple and black, as if it was about to burst, and sticky liquid was dripping from the tip. "Ugh! Ugh! Ugh! Ugh! -- Ugh! . . . . " He struggled violently. The chair was made of iron, and the armrests and legs were slightly bent. Although his mouth was blocked by a cloth, he could still squeeze out a tearing and explosive roar from his throat. This devilish appearance, just one look at it... will give people nightmares. "Master, calm down!" The three servants beside him wanted to step forward to help him up, but were blocked by a wave of hand. "Why... did you treat him like this!?" Augustus turned his head and stared at them intently, his voice seeping out from between his teeth. He looked like a powder keg about to explode. "Tell me..." "Master, we have no choice!" The servant's forehead was covered with cold sweat, which flowed into his eyes. He didn't dare to reach out to wipe it: "When Butler Jeff found the young master, his clothes were gone. He might have taken them off himself... The young master was wandering the streets of the South District at the time. As soon as he saw Butler Jeff, he rushed over and tore off his clothes. It took seven or eight of us to pull the young master away!" "Butler Jeff was injured and is receiving treatment now, so he can't come." A servant added. The servant nodded and continued: "It took us a lot of effort to lift the young master onto the carriage and bring him back to the family mansion. Master, we didn't want him to be seen in such a miserable state, but he was too strong. We injured more than a dozen servants before we could barely tie him up... uh, control him on the chair. As for dressing him... we really couldn't do it!" "Okay, okay..." Augustus suddenly smiled and stood up, "I understand." The anger of the originally furious master suddenly subsided, which not only did not make the three servants feel relieved, but made them feel uneasy. "You said before that the information was provided by the daughter of Hodge-Hitomi Nakafumi?" Augustus looked at the servant. "Yes, that's right!" The servant nodded hurriedly, "Miss Vanya said that the young master was last seen in the South District, so we sent people over to look for him, and sure enough, we found him not long after." "How did she know that little Lance was in the South District?" Augustus' voice was very calm, so calm that it exuded a chill. "Who told her?"
"Well, Miss Vanya did say so," the servant said cautiously. "She said that she was walking in the central area... and she met a very strange little girl, and she learned about it from her." "Little girl?" Augustus was stunned, then a gleam of brilliance flashed in his eyes, and his face quickly darkened, "I know, huh, it's her, I know..." "Master, we have contacted the best private physician in the city," the servant said. "Mr. Nat is a skilled doctor and will definitely make the young master better. Please don't be too sad and take care of your health..." "I understand." Augustus relaxed all over, as if all the energy had been burned out. "I need to... take a rest. You guys take good care of little Lance. Don't let him suffer..." "I promise, sir."
