Chapter 28 - 28: Hope To Receive Her Love (1/2)
”Take him back and never show you faces to me again.”
”Y-yes, ma'am!” The goons scurried to carry their crippled leader.
Lillie watched in cold gaze as they disappeared from her sight.
”Are you alright?” Ethan asked, appearing behind her in concern.
This...isn't the role seem to be reversed? Was it not suppose to be him who will be the knight in shinning whom will save the damsel in distress?
He must've known, Lillie is no damsel in distress but a damsel with kicks.
”En.” Lillie let out a long breathe. The heavy feeling was gone.
She admit that she could go overboard sometimes but, what that faux leader did might've eradicate him and everyone with connection to him.
Lillie was already benevolent to teach him a lesson. If this matter reached the Underworld Reapers' ears, there will be bloodshed.
The rule that the Underworld society took great caution of is that no one can claim to be what they are not, especially if one proclaims to be one of the Legendary Mythical Leaders.
Being one of the real leaders, Lillie should be the one who's the most furious. He was lucky that it was her who he encountered, if it were the others he'll be dead by now.
The Legendary Mythical Leaders might be a group of powerful figures however, they are no where near friends.
They see each other as a threat towards the Underworld Leader's seat. Lillie and He Jiu were old friends, so when they find out each other's identity, they decided to create a Blood Alliance.
It is a contract or an agreement to be comrades in arms forever. If one committed treason, the Underworld Reapers will kill him/her and all of their power will be given to the other party.
Lillie and He Jiu do not wish to have the throne but the other two Leaders wanted their power, that is why they have no choice but to fight them off.
”I'll message Haruka to tell her we'll find another place to watch the fireworks.” Ethan softly said and gently pulled Lillie towards his embrace.
Lillie didn't seem to mind Ethan's actions and let it be, she does not want to appear petty.
Ethan was new to the place but his guts told him to go up the hill. When they've reached the top, the scenery was breathtaking.
The city could be seen from up here. The buildings' light were like colorful stars in the dark horizon.
Lillie had to admit, the place was beautiful and air was cooler and fresher.
