Lost and Found: Return of My Mysterious Fiancee

Before she had finished speaking, she was already charging at Wraith. Wraith’s expression changed as he quickly darted out of the operating room, throwing a handful of poison powder back at Tina. Tina, unconcerned, reached out to grab his shoulder. He sagged his shoulder to dodge Tina’s hand, while simultaneously shooting several silver needles from his hand, which Tina easily blocked with her own needles. Meanwhile, members of the Mountain Veil Order, upon receiving Tina’s signal through a micro earpiece, also stormed into the hospital.

Jayden had once witnessed how Wraith had turned a maximum-security prison into a scene straight out of a biohazard crisis. So, as he entered, he worried about witnessing such a horrific scene again, complicating the aftermath. However, seeing that the people scattered about the lobby were unharmed, except for one poisoned at the entrance and another in a worse state in the operating room, he felt reassured. Their young master was indeed effective; only she could subdue Wraith, that deadly freak.

Wraith and Tina had continued their fight from inside the hospital building to the courtyard. Surrounded by the forces of Mountain Veil Order, Wraith scoffed, “Spectre, relying on others to capture me doesn’t mean you’ve won.”

“They are all my men; their capture of you means I win,” Tina retorted indifferently to his taunt, then added, “You could let your men help you if you wanted.”

She glanced back at the hospital building and chuckled, “Oh, I forgot, you poisoned all of them.”

“They hardly count as my men,” Wraith laughed without guilt, “At best, they are my toys, not even worthy of being test subjects.”

Suddenly, he leapt at a fat man who was staring blankly and drooling nearby, seizing him as a hostage. “Let me go, or I’ll kill him,” Wraith threatened.

“Why would I release you for him? He’s yours,” Tina scoffed.

“He’s just a mad fool, not my man,” Wraith said, pressing a knife against the fat man’s neck, smirking proudly, “Do you know why I poisoned everyone in the hospital except for him? Just in case you tried something like this.”

Tina’s gaze grew colder, and she remained silent.

“You people always act high and mighty, claiming to be on the side of justice,” Wraith sneered, “So, even if my hostage is just a useless lunatic to society, you would still save his life to let me go.”

Indeed, Wraith was right. Even though the drooling fat man was a social outcast and had probably done terrible things during his episodes, they still couldn’t risk his life against Wraith’s threat.

“Spectre, you can’t catch me,” Wraith said as he began to move towards the main door, dragging the confused fat man.

“Vic, Victor?” the fat man mumbled questioningly, his head tilted.

“Shut up,” Wraith snapped, pulling him along as he retreated step by step.

Tina and the Mountain Veil Order could only watch helplessly, unable to intervene.

“Master, are we really going to let him go just like that?” Jayden asked, clearly unwilling.

Tina didn’t respond.

Just as Wraith was about to exit the main door, dragging the fat man with him, Tina acted. She swiftly threw a paralyzing powder at Wraith. It was a minor nuisance for him, yet it momentarily slowed his movements. That moment was enough. Suddenly, the fat man’s expression changed, and he stabbed several silver needles into Wraith’s vital points. Wraith, completely unprepared for this turn of events, was immediately immobilized.

“Peter?” Wraith exclaimed in surprise, looking at the man who was no longer drooling or tilting his head, now completely transformed.

“You lose again,” Tina told Wraith.

“He’s not one of yours!” Wraith protested, “How can you claim you’ve won?”

“Who said I’m not Serena’s man?” the fat man chuckled, then turned to Tina to complain, “Serena, you have no idea how long I’ve been chasing this Wraith, how difficult it was to gain his trust just when I was about to succeed, and then you guys show up. Does this mean I have to share the bounty with you?”

“Peter, you’ve been out bounty hunting for so many years without contact,” Tina glared coldly at him, “Consider the bounty as tea money you’re giving to your brothers.”

“Ah, Serena, that’s not how you should put it,” the fat man winced, “You don’t know how alert this Wraith is. I had to pretend to be a fool and madman, it wasn’t easy, I’ve been pretending for half a year!”

Peter Crispin, now speakingfluently and with a firm tone, a stark contrast to his previous constant babbling about wanting a wife, caught Wraith off guard. It dawned on Wraith that there was a renowned international bounty hunter known as Peter Crispin. Any fugitive he targeted, whether A-grade or S-grade, never escaped. However, Wraith had never imagined that a bounty hunter could endure such disgrace, pretending to be a madman for half a year, committing numerous absurd acts in front of him, which is why he never suspected Peter Crispin. Ironically, the very precaution he took became the chain that captured him.

“Have you done anything illegal?” Tina stared intensely at Peter Crispin.Owned by NôvelDrama.Org.

“Nothing at all, absolutely nothing,” Peter Crispin quickly reassured, waving his hands, “Serena, that little girl inside, I didn’t even touch her. They all thought I was impotent, so I could only touch her hand before they took her away.”

He had been sitting at the building entrance when he saw Serena coming and quickly indicated his innocence out of fright.

Upon hearing this, he started complaining again, “Do you know how hard it is to pretend to be impotent for half a year, especially in front of someone like Wraith? So, about the bounty…”

“Shut up,” Tina interrupted him sharply.

Wraith, overhearing their conversation, laughed again, “You don’t think that catching me means I can’t escape, do you?”

“It’s fine, run if you want,” Peter Crispin waved dismissively, “But wait until I get my bounty. Then you can run so I can catch you again for another bounty. After all, finding an SS-grade fugitive like you isn’t easy.”
