Help The Villainess Trapped in the Beast World's Drama (by Lotus Seeds) novel Chapter 935

Chapter 935: Chapter 714: Reunion with Lu Xiao (Part 2)

Upon hearing this, the man’s slightly furrowed brow finally relaxed, and his hand gripping the armrest also slightly loosened.

If one were to look closely, they would notice several varying-depth fingerprints left on the armrest.

He only said a faint "good," which didn’t reveal much emotion, yet seemed to contain too much emotion.

Baron couldn’t quite understand the master’s mood, but whatever the master instructed him to do, he would do.

After escorting the lady safely away, he felt he had fulfilled his duty!

Just as he secretly breathed a sigh of relief, someone suddenly rushed in from outside:

"It’s bad, my lord! The second, in command has invited you to tonight’s living banquet, he says they’ve caught a female outside the city to present to you!"

Baron was stunned, suddenly realizing, "Caught a female? Where was she caught? Could it be..."

The beastman delivering the message was also Lu Xiao’s trusted aide, once having carried out missions alongside Baron.

He fearfully glanced at the abruptly cold and stern master above and swallowed nervously, trembling as he said, "It’s... it’s the female we investigated secretly some time ago. Shortly after she left the city, she was taken by the second, in command’s people..."

"The second in command has sent word that if you want this female, you must personally attend the banquet tonight."

Bang!

The man suddenly exerted force, shattering the armrest in one grasp.

The usually indifferent face seemed to be brewing a storm, with a flash of icy killing intent in his eyes.

The beastman delivering the message was terrified, trembling as he knelt on the ground, filled with fear, "My lord, calm your anger!"

Baron was shocked, deeply regretting his carelessness.

If only he had escorted the lady a bit further, this unexpected incident might not have happened.

Yet he remembered that the lady was quite strong, how could she be easily captured by the second in command’s people?

Damn it, truly neglectful!

The second in command, bald-headed Sok, was a typical smiling tiger, appeasing on the surface while stabbing in the back. His subordinates were similarly involved in lowly activities, bullying the weak and conspiring together.

Baron also greatly disliked Sok, remembering how he was nearly framed to death by Sok’s envious subordinates when he first joined the military camp.

Fortunately, the master saved him at that time, and since then, Baron had followed the master wholeheartedly.

Moreover, this was clearly a Hongmen Banquet; the master absolutely must not go!

If caught with evidence, everything would be over.

Baron hurriedly volunteered, "My lord, let me go tonight! Even if I must risk my life, I will certainly bring the lady back safely!"

Lu Xiao said nothing, directly rising and walking outside.

When Baron and the others saw this, they quickly followed.

Upon exiting the palace, the surrounding beastmen all saw the third in command emanating a terrifyingly cold aura, as if he was about to kill someone.

They had been by his side for a while, but had never seen the third in command, usually expressionless, show such a frightening demeanor!
