”Ohohoho! We have a visitor. A beautiful little flower. Jack, who is our guest?”
A woman walked out of the bar and looked at Lilith sharply. She then shot a frowning look to the man that brought her here.
Lilith was surprised for two reasons. This woman was strong; moreover, she was pretty young, and she appeared to be around twenty. A twenty years old level 4 origin master was rare even among nobles, and the second reason why Lilith was surprised was because the boss came out. As for her being a woman instead of a man like that man had said, she cared a little about this. It was time to end this mission her new master gave her.
While Lilith was preparing for the incoming fight, the man he brought with him talked.
“B-Boss, h-he k-killed Oscar and the others… I d-don’t h-have more option b-but bring him here….” The man sobbed with a pleading tone.
Lilith smiled, amused when she heard his answer, and Amber, watching, frowned in disgust.
The woman wrinkled her brows. “So, you brought here someone strong enough to kill a band of more than ten skilled men only to save your life?! Don’t you care about the lives of your brothers?!”
In the next instant, the woman summoned a sword from somewhere. The sword then pierced straight into the man’s neck.
The man opened his eyes wide. Until the last second, he could not believe that he had been killed.
“Trash!” The woman spat on the ground with a disgusted look.
Lilith raised an eyebrow, but she did nothing to stop the woman. Even though she had promised the man she would not kill him, she cared little about his life or death; besides, she wasn’t the one who killed him. A man like that must be erased as he could easily betray others with a little bit of pressure.
Lilith smiled; she was more interested in the woman before her. A true boss must act swiftly as this woman did. Like Orpheus thought she had picked up a good gang. Although she didn’t know why her master asked her to do this, she would still carry out his order; as for what he wished to do with this gang afterward, it had nothing to do with her unless he wanted her to do something else.
The woman looked at Lilith after killing her subordinate and narrowed her eyes. Her brown hair waved with the wind, and her slender body had a heavy stench of blood. This woman was someone that had killed many people in her life. She released a bit of her killing intent on Lilith.
However, she remained calm under her gaze.
“Who are you?! Why did you kill my men?!” The woman asked warily after seeing her killing intent did nothing to this red-haired beauty.
”Me? I’m Lilith, and I killed your men because they tried to assault me.” Lilith replied without a change in her expression.
The woman’s expression turned serious. Lilith felt her body tensing up, ready to attack at any moment. It was understandable as nobody would react like that if they were in her shoes, especially with Lilith’s reaction when enemies surrounded her.
“I apologize for that. However, you already killed my men. What else do you want?!” She asked coldly after calming down. She was sure that Lilith didn’t come here just for an apology.
”Fufufu! I had just arrived in the capital to see my master, and he asked me for a gang. Coincidentally I met your men, and here I am.” Lilith explained with a smile, and because of her usually cold face, her smile looked a bit provocative.
The woman and her subordinates nearby felt like they had heard a joke, but they knew it was not the case. The woman was surprised that there was someone else behind this scary young girl; she wondered how dangerous and strong this master would be when he had a subordinate like this?
‘Now isn’t the time for that. I must take care of this troublemaker.’
The woman mumbled, and her eyes turned into slits. “So you want my gang, huh? You have guts.”
“You bet,” Lilith responded with the same provocative smile; however, she had secretly put her hand on her dagger Scarlett and was ready to unsheath it.
“However, what does make you think that you will succeed? I advise you to leave now, or else you will leave as a corpse.”
“Is it so? Now I’m more eager to try.”
The woman’s expression turned cold. “Then, show me where your confidence comes from!”
“Men, kill this bastard!” The brown-haired woman ordered coldly. Instantly, all the people around charged toward Lilith. However, she did something unexpected; she put her hand forward, stopping them from attacking.
”Can you let me and your boss fight against each without interfering?” Lilith asked with her head tilted to one side.
She asked this because she didn’t want to needlessly injure or, in the worst case, kill because the people here would be working for her master. The moment that woman gave that order, men, women, children, elderlies, guards, gamblers, and prostitutes. All kinds of people jumped without hesitation to attack her. It was quite the sight, but Lilith did not wish to damage her master goods. If they knew what she thought of them, they would have attacked Lilith without hesitation; how dare she consider them mere goods?
Lilith hoped the boss would be sensible enough to accept her offer, she could have told her why she made this offer, but she felt like she wouldn’t get the result she wanted; worse, they might attack her out of rage.
Looking at the Boss, Lilith waited for her answer, but all she got was the latter scorn before she shouted.
”Kill the bitch.” The woman shouted, and they resumed their attack.
”I thought so,” Lilith mumbled with a sigh while thinking it couldn’t be helped that a few limbs would fly and blood would be spilled.
