Chapter 391 - Fruit Tart (1/2)
”Hey, who are you?” The young and wild Elizabeth inquired.
”None of your business…”
”Hmm, it seems like you need some sweetness in your life.” She responded as she took out a fruit tart out of her bag. ”Here.”
”What this for?”
”Try it…” She smiled.
The girl grabbed the fruit tart and took a small bite from it. As the taste exploded inside her mouth, her eyes lit in delight from the different flavors she was experiencing. She didn't notice that she had been taken by a fruit tart and was halfway done.
”Like it?” Elizabeth smiled seeing the woman was almost finished.
It startled the woman and snaps her back to herself as she realized she was actually enjoying herself. ”It's fine.”
”Ha-ha, you don't need to lie.” Elizabeth giggled as she found the woman's reaction so adorable.
”What's so funny?” The woman frowned.
”You need to lighten up.”
”What?”
”I mean, you need to have more sweets in your life. The world we live in is filled with cruelty a little sweetness will brighten your world.”
The woman was taken aback when she saw such a gentle smile on Elizabeth's face. It brought such warmth as if she was seeing the sun behind her and she was growing.
”I'm Megan.”
”Nice to meet you, just call me Liz.”
Elizabeth took out another fruit tart as she handed it to Megan for her to enjoy. She smiled so wide seeing how over the moon Megan was with its taste.
…
Elizabeth, who was still in the reminiscing state, finally realized who Megan was. Small drops of tears rolled down her face…
”Me-Megan?”
Megan who was a few distances away from Elizabeth and was busy fighting the mercenaries was unable to hear what Elizabeth said.
”Megan…” She continued to mutter yet Megan did not respond.
As if her sense has snapped into the demonic state again, her sanity switch once more into the other person as the sorrow in her eyes turned into violence. She stepped forth into the battleground as she took down the mercenaries heading her way in one blow. She was indeed a skilled fighter and the men after her were as weak as a kitten.
”B*stard, who do you think you are?” Elizabeth grabs hold of the man by his neck as she continued to slowly squeeze it tight until the man was blue and lifeless.
Megan was stunned seeing how flawless Elizabeth's skill at fighting was. It reminded her of the good all days. She realized that the girl standing in front of her was indeed the Little Lady. The demon lady whom everyone feared yet was her close friend.
”Liz.” Megan mumbled to herself. How she wished to run and embrace her. She has searched for her since that day she disappeared but ended up with nothing. Now that she was standing right in front of her, how she wishes to hold her.
”Ah!!!”
”F*CK!!!”
Megan snaps back to reality and notice most of the men were already on the ground and lifeless. Some still holding onto their life yet were badly crippled.
”Amazing…”
As they were about to finish the last man standing, all of a sudden, a few more groups of mercenaries arrived out of nowhere.
”There she is!”
”Get here!”
”Kill anyone who stands in our way!”
There were probably four or five different groups who arrived. Each one with the same purpose…
It delight Elizabeth to see the group of meat all coming at her. As if she was a vicious lion who has starved for a few months and could only see meat and was in an illusion that everything means food to her.
”Who would have thought I'll be having so much fun in this boring town.” She utters such frightening words.
Megan notices the different aura Elizabeth was emitting and was worried. She notices the girl was no longer herself. ”F*ck, I better get her out of here.”
As she tried to make her way to the girl, it became impossible… Different mercenaries started coming at her as if she was a member of another mercenary group who was after Elizabeth as well.
”Where do you think you're going girly?”
”Get her!”
”Get lost you b*stards!” Megan yelled as she fought them with her remaining strength. She was already too exhausted from all the early fights since it took a while before Elizabeth helped her.
”F*CK!”
Megan was finally able to catch her breath; she went and scanned the area looking for the girl. Not far, the girl was busy breaking every men bone without any mercy. She was indeed a demon whose heart has turned cold and stone.
Not long when Jo returned and was greeted by the battle unfolding in front of him. He was shocked to see the number of mercenaries fighting each other. But what surprised him the most was the fact that Elizabeth was killing most of them and was piling their bodies as if they were bricks.
”So, this is the Little Lady's true skills.”
