Seeing that the medicine was effective, Future was greatly relieved.
Wade helped Henry lie down on the sofa nearby.
The rest look at one another, each seeing the worry in each other's eyes.
Wade looked up, Henry had obviously fallen asleep.
Wade asked, "Future, what was the drug you just used?"
"A powerful anaesthetic, with a dose enough to paralyse an elephant. The boss should be able to a rest well for tonight." Future took the syringe from Wade's hand and reloaded it.
It took a dose of anaesthetic enough to paralyse an elephant to calm Henry down. That was how strong Henry's body was.
Upon hearing this, Wade was shocked. "You had this prepared all this while?"
Instead of answering him, Future looked at Bannock and said, "Let's first find out what happened. What happened just now?"
At that moment, Bannock had already gotten up from the ground. Still obviously shaken, he looked towards the broken tea table, inhaled deeply, then slowly calmed his pounding heart and said, "My lords, I'm sure you are all aware that hypnosis is just a special way to guide the subject into his or her subconscious to find the subject's psychological defect."
While Bannock talked, his fingers still trembled uncontrollably. He had obviously not recovered from the fright earlier, which was understandable. Anyone who had faced the King of the City of Hell in his violent state would be badly frightened. Bannock was still considered to have been quite rational. He yelled for help at a very crucial moment. Otherwise, there was no saying how he would have ended up.
"Go on." Wade and the others listened on.
Bannock nodded. "Lord S has a far more powerful psychological defence than ordinary people. Even under the anaesthetic effect of alcohol, I'm unable to guide the Lord's subconscious emotions. All the questions I had asked were ignored by My Lord. So all I could only try to do was bring out My Lord's violent emotions that lay at the depths of his heart."
"You are playing with fire!" Future suddenly shouted a little too excitedly, "You went to bring out the violent emotions that lay at the depths of boss' heart! Do you know what he had gone through all these years? How could you possibly bear the violent emotions that have been accumulated at the depths of his heart?"
"I understand that it was a very dangerous thing to do." Bannock slowly regained his composure. "But I had no other choice. My disciple told me that my lord had been deliberately restraining all those emotions in his heart, but just now I discovered that he was beginning to lose control of his emotions. While I was pouring the wine, I purposely poured the wine in a messy and disorganised fashion. At that moment, My lord displayed agitation. Next, I lowered the volume of music and purposely said some sensitive words, such as..."
As he spoke of this, Bannock deliberately looked to Future.
"It's alright, go ahead." Wade gestured for Bannock to continue.
