StartNovelChapter 748: "Do you all recall Nicola?" They responded simultaneously, "Yes." "Do you know why she refuses to cback to the Sanderson family?" Lonnie's expression was grave.
"She was administered a drug known as the 'Bloodthirstiness Pill.' It altered her demeanor significantly. Minor irritations would trigger violent and bloodthirsty outbursts from her, sometimes compelling her to commit acts of violence to restore her peace.
Consequently, she chose solitude, living alone on an island." Kareem, quick-witted among them, sensed the relevance of this revelation to Harlee.
As Lonnie paused, Kareem said firmly, "Dad, you underestimate Harlee's capabilities..." Lonnie's expression twisted into a deep frown of dissatisfaction.

"Exactly what I said," Kareem replied, waving off the tension with a dismissive gesture.
Regaining his composure after a brief coughing fit, Lonnie cast a stern glance at his sons.
"You think I'm oblivious? Listen up. No matter how skilled Harlee might be, she's still your little sister. Ultimately, it's up to the five of you to handle this." The weight of Lonnie's fatherly influence was unmistakable.

Clint clutched his chest and let out an overly tic, prolonged sigh, his face twisting into a comically exaggerated grimace of mock agony.
Meanwhile, Lonnie revisited the topic of the "Bloodthirstiness Pill," though his understanding of it remained patchy. What he did know was that its enigmatic creator operated from the shadows of the criminal underworld. "My knowledge is limited," Lonnie admitted.
"To get to the heart of the 'Bloodthirstiness Pill,' your best bet would be to consult Nicola on the island.
However, her moments of lucidity are fleeting, so the likelihood of extracting any meaningfulinformation from her about its creator is slim."
