Chapter 378 - 378: Plus Jeune Frère (1/2)
”You guys are really careful, huh,” Li Yifei finally commented on the two esteemed Demons' change of disguise as they drove out the dark forest and back on the road.
”Naturally. We can't afford to be careless in covering our tracks, lest we're asking for enemies to come knocking at our door.” Lillie clarified.
”Must be extra hard for the Underworld Leaders, people constantly trying to pry into your privacy to take you down.” Gabriel leaned back and relaxed on the backrest. ”I think I'm reevaluating my plan on climbing the ranks.
”It's not necessary to think deep into it,” Ethan interjected, eyes not leaving the road. ”Your group has already earned the eyes of high ranking criminals. And once we blow the lid off about your affiliation with us, expect that you'll be targeted even more.”
”Regardless, you'll be protected by us. I'll be stationing my men into your base soon, so don't worry. And if you desire, I'll even allow your subordinates to train directly under us.” Lillie's tone was coated in icy seriousness as she added, ”I'd like to see them dare attack one of our own.”
Yes, Lillie would like to see who dares attack her precious little brother and sister-in-law.
White Bird will inflict a whole world of pain, torment, and bloodshed on whoever touches a single strand of hair from their heads.
Gabriel can't help but feel touched by White Bird's awe-inspiring and commendable declaration. He's really having mixed feelings about her now.
Before they formed an alliance, she was like a demon incarnate who promised to skin them alive if they made a wrong move. Now, she's acting like a ruthless mother-hen who will flip the world upside down and tear apart anyone who dare touches her chicks.
Everyone in the Underworld knows that if you attempt to attack her people, best be prepared for the majestic bird of myth to roast the hell out of you.
”I'm a bit confused,” Li Yifei frowned,” do you guys trust us this quickly for you two to show us that hideout where you change?”
It wasn't even a day that passed after officially signing their alliance contract, and they're already showing them this much.
”If you're planning on divulging the location of that place, I'll have you know that the only way to get inside is by inputting a series of intricate codes that only I know.”
Ethan didn't mention that the intricate codes he meant were in the form of his cheeky, mommy's-girl-engineered daughter, Ai. As soon the sensors attached to the trees recognize him, Lillie, or the Commanders, Ai will open the underground base's entrance.
”If the system sensed an intruder, the defense system will automatically act accordingly.”
Ethan didn't need to explain what he meant by 'act accordingly'. Gabriel and Li Yifei already have a clear guess on what it could be.
Just seeing that the base was still there in good shape, they deduce that either no one has yet to discover it, or someone did and they're all annihilated.
Fighting off a shiver, the two younger siblings didn't delve further. Find authorized novels in , faster updates, better experience, Please click #!_%!d(string=11957027006657805)/chapter-378-plus-jeune-fr%C3%A8re_%!d(string=51037639792449615) for visiting.
”You two seem really close, huh.” Li Yifei blurted. She can no longer help it, curiosity is eating her alive.
”We are.”
She...she didn't deny it?!
Li Yifei and Gabriel were taken aback.
And it was that straightforward too? They can't be seriously humoring them just because allies now, right?
There are certain boundaries on how trusting a normal person can be.
So what that says about a Demon? Trusting nature is practically non-existent!
”Uh...uhm...” Li Yifei was so astonished that she couldn't construct a word.
”The rumors are true, then?” Fortunately, Gabriel managed to gather his wits.
”Be more specific. There are a lot of rumors circulating us.” Lillie knows what he was talking about but asked nevertheless.
”About you and Silver Dragon being lovers.”
”Oh, that was a rumor?” Ethan mused loudly. ”I thought people already knew we're together.”
”Seems like we thought wrong,” Lillie tipped her to the side to look at Ethan. ”We made it pretty obvious too, didn't we?”
”En, we did,” Ethan affirmed with a nod.
Obvious? Yeah, it was quite obvious. But you made them doubt it after they were harshly proven wrong about you and White Crow before! So you can't blame them if they question your relationship with Silver Dragon!
”Huh? Then you really made him an Elder because he's your boyfriend?” Li Yifei finally woke up from her stupor.
”Don't be silly, I'm not biased.” Lillie faintly rebuke. ”Whether if they are my own family, I will not assign them on a lofty seat if they're lacking. The reason why I promoted him to be an Elder is simply because his capabilities are equal to one.”
”I see. Now it makes sense.” Li Yifei nodded understandingly. ”As your boyfriend, he should be just exceptionally capable, or else he'll be an easy target to use as a bargaining chip.”
