Chapter 104 (1/2)

Seeing the enemy blown away like a leaf, Lily was not really paying attention to what Hao Ren was saying. Lily looked on like her eyes were about to pop out before she jumped up with joy. “Whoa, Landlord, you’re awesome!”

Her excitement made it sound as if she was the one who did it.

Deep down, Hao Ren wished he really was what Lily said but, looking at her broad smile he could not allow himself to act like a jerk. He smiled back awkwardly. “Well… Actually, if I’m not mistaken, that guy was probably already injured from Vivian’s Split-Shadows earlier. I was just adding another nail in the coffin.”

Lily replied with a simple, “Oh” but her eyes looked warily at the direction where the scrawny werewolf had flown to. “Is…he dead?”

“I’m sure he’s not.” Noticing the dilemma on Lily’s face, Hao Ren knew she was worried about her fellow werewolf. So, he quickly shook his head. “I used restraint. Besides, I couldn’t possibly have the ability to kill a werewolf with just one punch.”

“I was surprised that they were werewolves too,” said Lily as she stuck her tongue out in astonishment. “They took me in without saying a word. It was only when I called you in the afternoon did they start to explain it all to me.”

Hao Ren glanced at Lily. “So, what’s on your mind exactly?”

“This is the first time I’m meeting my fellow werewolves and I’m excited!” Lily’s eyes glowed in the dark.

“Are you going to follow them home?” A sudden twitch in Hao Ren’s eyebrow reminded him that this was a delicate question; she had called him for help because she did not know the identities of the two psychos but now, she knew that they were fellow werewolves. What was running through the mind of this innocent maiden, who always had a soft spot for the werewolf race?

“No, I’m not going to. I don’t even know them.” As worried as Hao Ren was, he did not expect Lily to dismiss it so quickly with no hesitation.

Hao Ren froze for a second and then, nodded with a weird expression on his face. “That’s who you are.”

Actually, it was just Lily’s efficient simple-mindedness—if she did not know a person, it meant that the person was a stranger and she should not follow a stranger. Her whole thought process was just as simple as that. Things like dignity, racial sense of belonging and the revival of the werewolf race were just too complicated for her to grasp. The concept of so-called ‘racial sense of belonging’ was not really part of her vocabulary. The one thing that was surely on her mind was the call to finish her meaty-bone lunch back home…

Suddenly, a loud bang was heard coming from outside the warehouse. The force blasted through the steel door, engulfing the whole place in smoke and dust. Then, Vivian’s voice was heard from afar. “Well, well, well, I thought I’d have to lend a hand here. Looks like everything on your side is done and dusted.”

A gust of strong wind came through and carried the smoke as well as dust away. Hao Ren then took a gander at the situation outside: the vampire maiden was completely unharmed. Only her hair was a little messy while her face was covered in dirt. Her face showed some fatigue after she had won the fight hands down. Casar Ebben who lied under her feet unconscious was not in particularly good shape though.

The once cocky and mighty werewolf was now covered in bruises; he was completely knocked out. The colour had drained from his face and his appearance was stuck somewhere between a werewolf and a human.

“I couldn’t help it. This werewolf was nasty and full of fighting spirit. I had to bleed the pressure out of his blood a bit to make sure he stayed calm,” said Vivian as she shook her head. “But no worries, it’s non-lethal. Thanks also to our Landlord. If not for your actions, this guy wouldn’t have gotten distracted and we might have been dragged into a long fight.”

The two werewolves were carried to the open field outside the warehouse. Hao Ren and his mates did not know what to do with the two unconscious members of the ‘enemy’. In the past, Vivian would celebrate her victory by treating herself to a nice dinner or even perhaps helping herself with the werewolves. However, that was not going to happen in the presence of Lily.
