Chapter 400 - 400: Stop Playing With Food (2/2)

They never interacted for long enough to evaluate each other's character deeply. Nor had there been any serious disputes between their organizations.

Just small skirmishes and disagreements between their people—it's not outside the Underworld norm, really—but it doesn't result in for the heads of the organization to step in and proclaim war to seek retribution.

If neither tries to trample the other, then it won't give the other a reason to attack.

For those who personally met Qilin, their thoughts about him can be described in one word.

Manic.

The man's aura seems friendly and approachable. But a fair share of warning, don't let that fool you. He's the nastiest Demon there is.

Wearing a half mask that only covers the upper part of his face, you can see the smile that seems to permanently carve his mouth.

And just a few inches above, you can see a pair of coal-black eyes that exhibits unfathomable madness.

Qilin had been in the Underworld longer than the rest of the Leaders. Reports told her that he was once part of his predecessor's organization.

It may be more reasonable if it was him who hired Yifei and Gabriel to cause trouble for White Bird. Other than her wealth, she doesn't see any other reasons for him to make things difficult for Lillie Bai.

Lillie has a strong impression that whoever hired the Four Hors.e.m.e.n was the same one who's behind the incident at the gas station.

She's not certain yet if it was still Qilin or her next suspect.

One of the Uncrowned Leaders and the man who's closest to being a Leader; Agni.

”Lastly, Agni's involvement in these recent adversities against me turned out to be undeniable. The spies I sent to tail Duan Qiqi's movements proved it.”

Agni's incredibly ambitious, and his hopes to attain an official seat among the Underworld Leaders wasn't a secret.

But he requires a substantially large amount of wealth, power, and influence to achieve his goal.

And what best option he has else to do just that other than to get a hold of one of the Elite Society's powerhouses?

Her Bai family had been frequent targets of people like him, but she manages to sweep them away permanently. But that doesn't mean that there won't be other fools who won't try.

As Lillie had mentioned before, Agni is an ambitious man. So it wouldn't be surprising if it was him who hired Vengeance to send a sacrificial lamb to attack her, or hired the Four Hors.e.m.e.n to raid the villa for clues of her connection to the Underworld.

Would finding of her identity as White Bird do him good? Well, if he publicized it, Sister Yaoyao, the Head Reaper, and her dear Senior Brother will make sure to erase his entire existence.

So the simple answer is no.

But the information that confirmed her suspicion that Agni was up to no good, was his secret affiliation with Duan Qiqi.

Her people had been tailing Duan Qiqi after her termination from the Empire; hence, led them to Agni.

Thanks to her carelessness, Lillie found out just how deep Agni had sunk his claws into her territory.

She will make sure he won't proceed further from that point.

With these complications, Lillie thinks it's high time that she should stop playing with her food.

”Ethan, what do you think about finally returning as Vermillion Dragon?”
