Chapter 152
Lily didnât deny Shaunâs statement. She admitted that she was cruel, indeed. Having lived through dire circumstances since she was 15, she was well aware that her survival depended on cruelty. If she lacked brutality, others would only be more cruel to her.
The only good thing about her was that she still hadnât lost all sense of humanity. Her ruthlessness was only targeted at those who were wicked.
After sending Lily back to Anmer Heights, Shaun and Daniel lett for the hospital promptly. Stefan and Melanie took their leave upon their arrival. Soon, only Lold, Shaun, and Daniel remained in the ward.
Shaun pulled up a chair and sat by Loidâs bedside. Overwhelmed with elation, he began, âLoid, Iâve got some big news!â
Loid arched his brows, and his expression turned sullen. How could Shaun have the nerve to focus on the news when heâd been badly injured?
Shaun gave no heed to him, nonetheless. He continued in haste, âLily is the legendary Reese! And sheâs exceptionally skilled. She could even immobilize people with her needles- she literally immobilized 500 people in a few moves!â
He sprang up excitedly and rambled on, âImmobilizing people! Can you imagine that? She sealed their acupoints, just like what you see in movies. Those people couldnât even budge an inch! She incapacitated them on her own and had them deported back to their separate cities.
âAlso, the Maynards took on Lily today. They tried to assassinate Madam Hutchinson, but they were thrown into the dogfighting pit instead. She wanted them to live the rest of their lives in despair.â
As Shaun spoke, he became incoherent with excitement. He thought Loid was already a genius. Having joined the troop at the age of 16 and established a business empire when he was 19, Lold remained a big shot in several countries. No one dared to mess with him except for the Hidden Families.
Yet, Lily blew Shaunâs mind. At the age of only 19, she amazed him with her superb medical skills and exceptional combat skills. She was also the ruler of the underground forces of two cities. At this point, her growth rivaled Loidâs
Shaun once boasted that he could beat Lily. Now, he figured heâd probably be disabled before he even made a move in their fight Patting his chest in perpetual fear, he was thankful that Lily wasnât his foe. Otherwise, sheâd be an extremely formidable opponent, even more so than the Hidden Families.
Loid narrowed his eyes. But soon, a smirk flashed across his face.
Surprising yet expectedâLily was truly his fiancée, indeed. She was one of a kind.
âLoid, do you think sheâs too cruel to the Maynards?â
Shaunâs excitement dampened, and he plopped back to his seat. Glancing up at him, Loid gave him an indifferent look.
âReally? Iâd be even more cruel than ber!â
Loid didnât think she was being ruthless by avenging Belinda. She was merely retaliating after being attacked. If Belinda died tonight, would anyone accuse the Maynards of being
nuchless?
One had to be cruel to survive in their world. Adopting brutality before others could be cruel to them was how they survived. Still, it was a shame that Lily was so mighty that she didnât need Loidâs protection. Heâd rather become the vicious one if she could be a little softer.
Shaun was rendered speechless. He finally flicked a thumbs up at Loid after a long while.
âDamn! You guys are indeed a perfect match
Leaning back on the bed, Loid asked casually, âDid she only send the Maynards to the dogfighting pit?
Shaun nodded. âShe said this is the best punishmentâ
Loid dropped his gaze Hemet Shaunâs eyes briefly after and said, âTake over all of the Maynard familyâs legal and illegal businesses and transfer them to Lilyâs name. Sheâs done so much for me, and itâs about time for me to give her a grand gift.â
Shaun.concurred, âAlright, Iâll work on it now.â
