Chapter 407 - 407: Do You Want Popcorn And Drinks? (1/2)

”There's been a slight change of plans,” Lillie called the captain assigned to lead tonight's raid. ”Tell the detachment to be on standby for a while and wait for my signal.”

She doesn't need to tell him the reason why. The captain knew better than to question his boss. ​​

[Got it!]

”But keep in mind that nothing is stopping this attack. It 'will' happen tonight.” Lillie stressed. ”We can't let She Gu think he'll get away with this disrespect.”

[Leave it us, boss. To think that old fool hasn't learned his lesson, tsk tsk. Is he secretly a m.a.s.o.c.h.i.s.t?] The captain muttered the last sentence mostly to himself.

”I trust that you'll give him another grand reminder.”

[We'll make sure that old fool's face turns red in anger until his blood vessels pop.]

”Hm, see that you do.” Lillie's eyes glinted.

After that phone call, Lillie turned to her younger brother and sister-in-law.

”Head back to the villa. Ethan and I still have some business to attend to.” Before the two could open their mouths, Lillie immediately added, ”And no, you're not coming with us.”

”But the raid won't happen while you two are in there, right?” Gabriel asked. ”So it should be fine if we tag along.”

”I'm not certain.” Lillie honestly answered. ”It depends on the situation, whether we succeed and get out of there in time or not. Our presence won't interrupt the plan, however.”

”Stop being stubborn, Gabriel.” Ethan gently chided. ”You know as much as I do that it'll take immense effort to sway your sister once she made up her mind.”

”Fine...” Gabriel finally relented with a grunt, mildly indignant.

”Come on, Gab, let's go back. They're right, it's too dangerous for us to be there.” Li Yifei hooked her arm around her boyfriend's, being awfully obedient. ”Then brother, sister-in-law, we'll head back first. Have a safe trip.”

Lillie nodded. ”You two as well.”

When their younger siblings drove off with the taxi, Ethan had a thoughtful look as his eyes followed the yellow vehicle.

”Something wrong?” Lillie asked, snapping him out of his trance.

Ethan shook his head. But the uncertainty proceeds to bother his mind. ”I feel like I'm missing something.”

”Well, I'm sure it'll come to you soon. For now, let's go. Time is running.”

Nodding, Ethan held her hand and allowed himself to be dragged by Lillie.

***

Ethan's eyes narrowed when he recognized the two rebellious brats standing by the underground arena's entrance, smiling innocently like kids waiting for their parents to pick them up.

”I should've seen this coming.”

He should've known. His younger sister was so much like him in his youth. Determined to a fault, reckless, and has the penchant for chasing after danger for the thrill of it.

And if he's right about his brother-in-law, he'd say that he just went along with Yifei's act of defiance against their elder siblings.

Gabriel loves and respects his elder sister, and rarely disobeys her. So Ethan's certain this was all Yifei's idea.

Ethan understands Gabriel. They both can't help but obediently follow their woman.

Lillie shot them a disapproving look. To which they responded with sheepish smiles, acting all cute and innocent. Hoping it would quell their elder siblings' exasperation.

It would've. If only they put more effort into it.

”Woah! You look amazing, si—uh, brother-in-law?” Li Yifei's jaw dropped, gawking in absolute astonishment when she realized that the handsome man beside her brother was actually her sister-in-law.

Both of their disguises were impeccable. How did that happen in such a short time? And where the heck did they got the materials?

If her elder brother and sister-in-law didn't stop in front of them and glare knowingly, they wouldn't have known it was them.

”It's our fault. We spoiled them too much.” Lillie sighed. ”And thank you. You two don't look bad yourselves.”

Li Yifei was fl.u.s.tered at the compliment and swooned upon hearing Lillie's male voice.

How?!
