Chapter 45 - Choosing Sides (1/2)
Lena headed back to her room after lunch. She needed to be in her comfort zone to begin her thought process. It has been several long hours for her, but she felt like she had aged a few years.
Lena's body wasn't made for physical work. She could keep the body in shape but Lena won't have time to conquer a full self-defense lesson. However, she needed to prepare for further situations that will endanger her life.
She will need to order some new gadgets. She cannot always rely on others to come to her, especially if she cannot predict the outcome too.
Gary had a connection to obtain some amazing items. She would need to contact him once he was feeling better.
Lena sat down on her desk and logged into her laptop. She did not have time to look at the completed information Gary had sent her about the Three Kings beforehand but now was the time to know. Information is power.
She already played an ace card on Ming Zhao. Although she has a blossoming partnership with him, he had always been a neutral party.
If Lena wanted to play big and risky, she'll need to hit the other two kings. Andy Yang, her first love, would be the easiest path to mend a relationship. Their families had been friends and close for a long time now.
Lena also has Hazel to back her up if she needed that. But, this just seemed too simple. How can she look for a strong backer if the man she previously lived for, is too clouded in the mind due to his heart?
Love can be a strength, but it is also the strongest weakness.
Lena would have been more open-minded about Andy loving another person, but she knows that Eva was not a woman worth Andy's love. But who is she to play the goddess of love?
She needed to reevaluate who she should be close with and who are her enemies. And for that, Lena needed to make sure that she has some strong connections.
You only live once. And you will experience death countless times, so Lena rather choose the riskier path. That means, she needed to be on the good side of the Li Group.
