I'm here to save the world, what are you doing?

Following the waiter's guidance, Lucius quickly found Scott in a private room in the side hall.

The box was covered with ambiguous pink wallpaper, and several large velvet sofas surrounded a low coffee table, which was filled with wine bottles and fruits.

Scott was half lying comfortably on the sofa in the center, surrounded by four young women with heavy makeup.

Unlike the decadent and sloppy image in Lucius's memory, Scott looked energetic today.

He put one arm around a blonde girl's waist and roamed over her plump body unscrupulously, while with the other hand he held up a glass and poured amber liquor into his mouth.

"Hahaha!"

Scott's laughter was loud and unrestrained, his cheeks flushed with alcohol:

"I say, you girls are really killing me!"

"Come on, pour me some more. I want to drink to my heart's content tonight!"

He was wearing a brand new black shirt today with the collar wide open, revealing his muscular chest and faintly visible abdominal muscles. He had a pink silk scarf draped around his neck, looking both dissolute and somewhat deliberately artificial.

The women around him giggled and vied with each other to pour wine and feed him food, whispering in his ears from time to time, causing him to laugh lasciviously.

"Don't worry, baby, I have plenty of time to play with you tonight!"

Scott grabbed the other girl's waist and pulled her roughly into his arms.

"Come, let me kiss you!"

Lucius:? ? ?

Only then did Lucius realize how noble his morals were compared to a real silver bug like Scott.

Yes, I, Lucius, have always been the pure love god of war!

"Cough, cough, cough!"

Lucius cleared his throat, getting their attention.

Scott looked up and saw Lucius standing at the door. His eyes suddenly lit up, and his drunken confusion disappeared. He immediately straightened his back.

"Oh! Isn't this my benefactor?"

Scott quickly stood up from the sofa and strode towards Lucius with a bright smile on his face.

"My dear benefactor! Why are you here? What do you want from me?"

"Scott, I have business for you."

Lucius nodded, his eyes scanning the scene in the room, feeling a little uncomfortable.

"Business again?"

Scott showed a surprised expression and immediately flattered:

"Oh, you are really my second parent!"

"Don't worry, I'll erect a statue of you at home when I get home tonight. The first thing I'll do every morning when I wake up is burn incense and pray, wishing you eternal health!"

Lucius:? ? ?

"This isn't the place to talk. How about we find another place to talk?"

Lucius suggested.

"Of course it's no problem!"

Scott readily agreed and turned to wave goodbye to his female companions on the sofa:

"Girls, wait for me for a moment. I have something to discuss with my benefactor. I'll come back and love you well!"

He kissed the back of each girl's hand in turn, his pretentious elegance contrasting sharply with his drunken appearance.

Several women tried to keep him from leaving, their eyes full of attachment and reluctance. One brown-haired girl even exaggeratedly took out a handkerchief to wipe away her non-existent tears.

"You must come back tonight, Master Scott!"

The blonde called gently.

"Don't worry, darlings, I'll be back as soon as I'm done!"

Scott responded proudly, and then followed Lucius out of the Rose House.

As he walked out of the door, the night breeze blew, and the drunkenness on Scott's face faded a little.

Then, he took Lucius and naturally led him to a restaurant that was open for business, and said enthusiastically:

"My Lord, let me tell you, the barbecue in this restaurant is delicious, not inferior to those high-end restaurants near Rongguang Square."

“You really need to try it…”

Lucius: No!

Lucius just sneered at Scott's enthusiasm.

Then he simply stopped, and no matter how Scott dragged him, he remained motionless as if he had taken root.

"Haha, Scott, I think you want to eat with me again?"

Lucius crossed his arms over his chest, a sarcastic smile on his lips.

"Ha, ha ha, the young lord really has a keen eye..."

After being exposed, Scott blushed and scratched his head as he explained awkwardly:

"To be honest, I only ate some fruit all day today..."

Lucius raised his eyebrows and said in disbelief:

"I gave you a lot of money yesterday. Can't you fill your stomach first before going out to have fun?"

"Young Lord, you don't understand this, do you?"

"Money should be spent wisely!"

Scott answered confidently, his attitude relaxed and frank:

"Think about it, as the saying goes, when you're full of food and drink, you'll be hungry for sex."

"Then I'll just skip the first two steps and think about that. I can save money on food and have more fun. Isn't that great?"

He puffed out his chest, his strong muscles bulging under his shirt, and smiled smugly:

"Besides, a muscular man like me relies on this body of muscles to support me. What's the big deal about skipping a couple of meals?"

"Yes, indeed."

Lucius nodded in agreement, a smile of mischievousness appearing on the corner of his mouth.

"Since it's okay to skip a couple of meals, let's get down to business."

"You can take care of your dinner after you finish your business."

Scott: ???

I'm so stupid, really.

Damn, why should I show off my muscles when I have nothing to do?

Once he got rich, he became arrogant and lost his sense of place.

Now the rice that was about to reach my mouth flew away.

At this moment, Scott wanted to slap himself hard in the face.

Lucius took Scott back to the carriage, which was spacious and private enough.

"Ok?"

After Scott entered the carriage, he glanced at Nora, frowned slightly, then turned to look at Lucius, patted his shoulder, and said earnestly:

"Young Lord, I underestimated you before. Change one every day. You are the real master."

"But you have to listen to my advice. The way you play is no different from walking on a tightrope. Be careful that someone might cut you on the wire one day."

She was that gray-haired girl yesterday, but today she has become the daughter of the prime minister.

Scott had to admire Lucius's charm and popularity with women.

But it also made him worry about Lucius's future.

Scott knew that, unlike himself, Lucius treated every girl extremely seriously and was willing to take responsibility for her life.

Obviously, Lucius didn't know at this moment how terrible a girl could become when she was burning with jealousy.

Alas, I hope that the young master will still be alive and well by this time next year to give me gold coins.

Nora: ...

Nora looked at Scott with a slightly cold look in her eyes.

Both his behavior and the ambiguous warning made her feel disgusted with this person.

"Brother Lucius, is this the Scott you are looking for?"

Nora sat next to Lucius and gently tugged at his sleeve.

"Yes."

Lucius sighed helplessly and explained:

"Although this guy looks useless, at least he has some abilities."

"Hehe, of course."

Scott puffed out his chest proudly, a glint of confidence flickering in his slightly cloudy eyes:

"What do you want to know, young lord? Just ask. There's nothing I don't know about this little land of Splenda."

"Scott."

Lucius lowered his voice and leaned forward slightly:

"Another disemboweled corpse was found floating in the Luminara River tonight, near Covent Garden."

"I want you to go to the scene and see if you can provide some information about the victim."

Hearing this, Scott's expression suddenly became serious.

His originally relaxed muscles tensed instantly, his eyes narrowed slightly, revealing an alertness that was inconsistent with his appearance.

"Has there been a second victim?"

He asked softly, his voice becoming low and wary, a barely perceptible worry flashing in his eyes.

"Yes."

Lucius nodded slightly, took out another bag of gold coins and threw it to Scott:

"This is a serious matter. I hope you can keep it secret."

"This is hush money. The reward will be calculated after you arrive at the scene."

Scott: !!!

Feeling the heavy weight of the purse in his arms, Scott's eyes immediately lit up, and the symbols of currency seemed to appear in his pupils.

"Father!"

Scott knelt down directly in front of Lucius, and his knees made a dull sound when they hit the floor.

I only heard him weeping bitterly:

"This amount of money is enough for me to keep Katie as my wife for a month. Please feel free to order me around tonight!"

Lucius: ...

Lucius and Nora took Scott through the foggy streets to a temporary base.

This is an abandoned warehouse by the river. The lights are dim and the air is filled with damp and moldy smells and a faint smell of blood.

The Raven crew, wearing black cloaks, had been waiting here for a long time.

Seeing Lucius appear at the door, they immediately bowed and greeted him.

Then, the Raven members silently led them through the narrow corridor to a simple room deep in the warehouse.

In the middle of the room stood a simple wooden bed, covered with a white cloth, through which one could vaguely see a human figure.
