Just as Wang Qi was venting his evil and dark desires in his own villa.
Butler Li had arrived at a somewhat dilapidated building.
Upon closer inspection, the building had long been in disrepair, with spiderweb-like cracks covering its dark gray walls, making it appear as if it could collapse at any moment.
Butler Li didn't seem to care, since he had come here many times before.
Upon entering the dilapidated building, unlike the villa area where Wang Qi was, everyone here wore clothes full of holes and walked around the corridors with blank expressions.
When they saw Butler Li, dressed in a clean black suit, they reacted as if they had seen a monster. A hint of fear appeared in their numb eyes, and they quickened their pace, either returning to their rooms to close the doors or running as fast as they could into the building.
Seeing the people behaving like rats in the street, Butler Li only showed a disdainful smile on his face, then ignored these lower-class humans of the empire and went straight to the stairs inside the dilapidated building.
When he first came, these people would run up to him and beg for alms. But how could such lowly people be worthy of his charity? He had his men kill a few of these people who seemed to be the leaders.
These people then calmed down. The only way to deal with such people is to make an example of them to deter others from bothering you.
Although Butler Li doesn't have the same powerful physique as those members of the eerie squad, he lives a life of comfort and ease in the minister's mansion, and every day he has different types of beautiful female trainers teaching him how to exercise.
So even though Butler Li is already old, he has a muscular physique and eight-pack abs. He can run up four floors quickly without showing any signs of being out of breath.
Upon entering the fourth floor of the building, it appeared cleaner than the first floor, but there were no longer those raggedly dressed, expressionless people on this floor.
Strong men in black uniforms loitered in the stairwell, with standard-issue knives hanging from their waists.
They then saw Butler Li enter the building and stopped in their tracks, their faces showing respect as they spoke in unison:
"Greetings, Lord Li!"
Butler Li chuckled, then walked over to the most burly man among them and calmly asked:
"Is that old man still the same as always?"
"Your Excellency, the old man is still the same as always, lying in bed, and his granddaughter takes care of all his eating, drinking and toileting needs."
Upon hearing this, Butler Li nodded in satisfaction and continued:
"Okay, take me to see him. I need to borrow that old man for something today."
After saying that, the man tactfully led Butler Li to a dilapidated wooden door in the hallway, and then said to the two people standing in front of him:
"Open the gate, Lord Li wants to go in and see that old man."
"Yes, Captain." Ă—2
As they spoke, one of them took out a somewhat old key from his pocket and inserted it into the lock that was covered in iron filings.
As the key is inserted, it makes a clicking sound.
The old wooden door was also opened by the subordinate, creaking as it was opened.
The scene inside the room also came into view: a chaotic and dirty room with all kinds of garbage scattered around.
Moreover, a stench of decay assaulted the nostrils, and the butler waved his hand dismissively in front of him before looking into the room.
The first thing I saw was an old man lying on the bed, his face covered with yellow chickenpox, and a few sparse white hairs on his head. He was thin and had a dull look in his eyes.
Beside the bed, a petite and lovely woman was squatting, slowly wiping the yellow liquid seeping from the old man's forehead due to the rupture of blisters with a somewhat worn towel.
The moment the door opened, the girl looked up at the people standing in front of her.
Her bloodshot eyes stared intently at the group, as if she harbored some deep-seated hatred. Her already lovely face appeared somewhat thin due to overwork and lack of sleep, but this only added a touch of world-weariness and mature beauty to the girl.
"What are you doing here again! My grandfather is already in this state, do you still want to bother us?!"
The angry voice reached everyone's ears, but unfortunately, because the person who made the voice was so cute, it did nothing but arouse evil thoughts in everyone.
"Hehe, little girl, if we hadn't given you food and water, you and your grandfather would probably have starved to death in this room."
The uniformed captain, with a mocking expression, teased the girl whose eyes were filled with grief and indignation, her hands tightly gripping the gray-white towel in her hand.
Hearing the man's words, the girl's anger deepened, and she shouted:
"You're the ones who imprisoned us here, and you're pretending to be kind! You're the ones who caused my grandfather's illness! Don't think I don't know!"
The captain was about to tease him a bit more, but Butler Li gestured for him to be quiet.
Seeing that Butler Li had made a move, the captain calmed down, but his eyes were still mocking as he looked at the girl with wide, bloodshot eyes and gritted teeth as if she wanted to devour him alive.
Butler Li looked at the girl in front of him, who was already more adorable than most girls in the capital. Now, because of her anger, she seemed even more adorable. He couldn't help but want to bring her into his mansion and take care of her day and night.
