Conan's Distillery: A Semi-Workaholic's Slacking-Off Life

Chapter 115 * Entanglement and Unexpected Events

The so-called traffic jam was actually caused by a collision between several cars, which ended up blocking the road. The owners of the cars were all demanding an explanation and were engaged in a heated argument in the middle of the road.

The long line of cars behind them indicated that this group of people had been stuck here for a long time.

This highway is the only way to the East District Airport, and there is no way to detour. The current situation is that people coming out of the airport cannot use this highway, and people who want to go to the airport cannot use this highway either.

After listening to the explanation from the passerby, Ricard irritably lit a cigarette, took two puffs, and then irritably stubbed it out again.

As time passed, Ricard couldn't resist making a call to one of the peripheral members—

The call was answered instantly, and a cheerful voice came from the other end: "Lord Ricard! Another mission? I want one!"

Ricard was already used to Percy's erratic behavior on the phone, and calmly instructed him to drive away the group blocking the road.

Percy is a mental patient who has been confined to the most heavily guarded room in a mental hospital for years due to his aggressive behavior, including assault and murder. Despite this, Percy is London's most useful and talented peripheral agent; he is intelligent, just a bit eccentric, but also quite capable.

If he weren't under the strict surveillance of the mental hospital, he would be recognized by the doctors there no matter where he went, and he would have already been promoted to a code name member long ago.

"Okay!!! I'll knock the guard out right now!" After Ricard explained in detail how to get rid of the guy blocking the road, Percy excitedly left with those words, didn't even hang up the phone, threw down his phone and started looking around the room for something he could use.

Ricard simply hung up the phone and lit a cigarette.

However, less than 10 minutes later, Ricard saw the conspicuous figure in a hospital gown run past the car at high speed, even carrying a two-meter-long fork that security guards use to shoo people away.

“…” Ricard almost laughed.

Percy's erratic way of handling things always made Ricard laugh. But it's undeniable that Percy has a talent for something, because he can always escape from a heavily guarded mental hospital within 10 minutes, which even Ricard finds astonishing.

……

The night in London is quiet—except for the road where White Nights is currently located.

He noticed that after he left the airport, no one else came out of the airport. There wasn't a single person or even a car on the road outside the airport. However, he could hear arguing and cars honking their horns hundreds of meters away on this road.

Saki clearly sensed the strange atmosphere and became unconsciously alert.

The next second, a group of people jumped out of several bushes by the roadside, raised their guns, and surrounded Bai Yexiu and Zuo Mu in the middle of the road!

"You're under arrest!" Flander, the leader, brandished his gun in a show of force.

No one noticed that Bai Yexiu's expression darkened slightly. Then, Bai Yexiu raised his hands with a grin and asked, "Is this some kind of reality show?"

"Stop pretending. You should know what you've done, Ryuzawa Ryuya. Arrest him!" Flander coldly ordered.

Seeing that Flander wouldn't waste any more words, Bai Yexiu decided not to play along anymore. He abruptly shook off the hands that had grabbed his wrists and brandished his scalpel.

Upon receiving the signal, Saki crouched down and swept the bullets at the feet of the agents in front of him. Bai Yexiu nimbly dodged the bullets fired at him, then took the opportunity to circle behind the agents and slash them, leaving long gashes on their backs.

The two of them suddenly and easily broke through the encirclement of more than 20 people.

Before the other agents could even marvel at Bai Yeshu's agility, Flander immediately gave the arrest order and rushed towards Bai Yeshu as well.

Perhaps fearing that bullets might accidentally injure his own men, Flander stopped his men from using guns and instead rushed forward to engage in hand-to-hand combat.

Meanwhile, Saki was being entangled by four or five people and had no time to pay attention to Bai Yexiu. Knowing his weakness in physical combat, Bai Yexiu did not engage in direct confrontation. Instead, he kept dodging between the people rushing towards him, causing their punches and kicks to land on his own people, while Bai Yexiu took advantage of the chaos to finish them off.

However, faced with the tightening encirclement and the overwhelming numbers of Flander's group, Bai Yexiu inevitably revealed some weaknesses.

Outnumbered, Saki could only handle three or four people at a time, while Bai Yexiu had eight or nine. After kicking down one agent, Bai Yexiu himself was also kicked. He staggered a few steps before the other agents twisted his arms.

Saki had just taken down a few people when he saw Bai Yexiu being subdued, and he panicked a bit. He was about to go up and help Bai Yexiu when Flander blocked his way.

Flander gave a wink to the men who were holding Bai Yexiu captive, then stepped forward and began fighting with Zuo Mu.

An agent grabbed Bai Yexiu's hand holding the knife and pulled it down forcefully, dislocating Bai Yexiu's right hand. He let out a muffled groan in pain, and the scalpel fell to the ground due to the pain and weakness.

The situation suddenly turned unfavorable for Bai Yexiu.

Another agent saw that Bai Yexiu was still struggling even with his arm dislocated, so he thought of simply knocking him unconscious with a chop to the neck. But then he heard a young man's voice coming from afar.

"You people who disturb public order are unforgivable! Aaaaaah—"

A young man dressed in a hospital gown, holding a large fork, and looking somewhat deranged, ran quickly toward them. The words "St. Berezia Mental Hospital" were printed on the gown.

The other agents, whose hands were still free, rushed forward to block them, but were forced to retreat step by step by the young man who held a large fork to his neck.

"Retreat! Retreat! Retreat!"

The young man, chanting slogans, charged forward with a long fork. Because they were unrelated personnel, the agents dared not make a move, and the result was that a group of people were forced to retreat with the long fork pressed against their necks.

Some people tried to take the long fork away, but they found that the young man was incredibly strong. The long fork seemed to be fixed in the young man's hand and did not move at all. They were even pulled down by it.

The scene became chaotic.

Even those who subdued Bai Yexiu were punished by the long fork. Taking advantage of their forced release, Bai Yexiu slipped out of the encirclement.

After those people, Flander was the one who suffered the consequences. He was forced to give up his fight with Saki, which allowed Saki to escape.

Seeing that everyone had dispersed, the young man started spinning his long fork haphazardly among them, like a giant fan in the middle of the road, startling the agents who scattered and moved away.

Taking advantage of the chaos, Bai Yexiu signaled Zuo Mu to help him reattach his arm. Just as they were about to run away, a motorcycle stopped right in front of them.

The driver was a masked young man, but Bai Yexiu recognized him at a glance as Nicholas.

"Get on!" Nicholas urged. Bai Yexiu and Zuo Mu got on the back seat. Nicholas turned around and sped off. In less than two seconds, the motorcycle disappeared from Flander's sight.

After Bai Yexiu left, many cars drove up from a distance. Before Flander could retreat from the middle of the road, a bald man with an aggressive look got out of the lead car and pointed at Flander's nose, starting to yell: "Do you also want to block the road?! If you don't want to get a lesson, get out of here. How immoral! Fighting in the middle of the road."

Flanders had no choice but to have the wounded helped up and immediately leave the highway.

After Flanders and his group left, the bald man's expression immediately changed. He waved enthusiastically to Percy on the roadside: "Hey, brother, thanks a lot!"

Percy scratched his head sheepishly, about to reply, when he saw a group of doctors and nurses in white coats rushing towards them, one of them shouting, "Percy's over there!"

The long forklift had already exhausted Parcy, so she offered little resistance and was given a sedative by the rushing doctor. Parcy's attending physician kept apologizing to the drivers: "I'm so sorry, a patient from the hospital has run away, causing you all this trouble..."

“No way!” one driver said, getting out of his car. “I’m so grateful to him; he chased away two groups of people blocking the road!”

The other drivers chimed in, and the attending physician looked relieved. The doctors chatted and laughed with the drivers for a few minutes before parting ways.
