Chapter 255: Scheming

"I never knew that it would be like this. I was expecting some suggestions from everyone." Lyca leaned against the chair and calmly look at everyone's grave expression. "Since it's like this. Then it's final. The Tower of No Return will be our new name from now on. Please send some letters to the other Lords and tell them about our new tower name." She beamed when she realized that they could easily send emails these days. Of course, she took this opportunity to introduce something else."I already asked some people to make a seal for our tower. These messages will be sent in a special envelope with a wax seal."

"…" Was she serious? Many people started to wonder if their previous assumption was actually false and that this woman was just simply crazy? In the first place, Mr. Ling died because she shot her. If he didn't attack, this woman would simply act like a clown. The man in pink met the eyes of the other clan patriarch as he inwardly smiled. Turns out this woman was simply a joke.

He immediately wondered why he got scared earlier. Most of them here are proficient with martial arts. Moreover, they were all experienced and skilled. Seeing someone die in front of them was pretty normal too. So, being frightened by a woman like this doesn't make sense at all.

Of course, he immediately blamed this on the fact that they were all surprised. Their adrenaline was too high. "As expected…" the man in pink sneered. "Women are just… different than men." He eyed the other woman sitting a few seats away from him. "Of course that is with the exception of Matriarch Chu." The woman only snorted in response. Seeing this, the man in pink brought his gaze back to the frowning Lyca. "You don't have what it takes to rule this territory. I suggest you leave this room now and we forget what happened here. We will then asked you to compensate Mr. Ling's family for what you did. It is that simple."

In his mind, this woman was quite smart— but it's not enough. When she arrived, she immediately used coercion to make them submit to her. Of course, because of their surprise, they immediately did it without even having second thoughts. Clearly, this was her last struggle to maintain power after her husband's death. This was her defense mechanism. Of course, he knew that this was a useless struggle.

A woman like this is bound to be in someone's bed not manage a territory as big as this. "You know… Miss whoever, you are, this struggle is futile. Our people saw your husband bleed to death. There is no point in trying to stop the chaos that would follow after his death. We already know the truth. Q is dead! And his three-year effort was just gone. You are alone. I suggest you follow our words and stop embarrassing yourself any further." He smirked at Lyca's dark expression.

What he didn't know is the fact that Lyca was starting to get irritated. The man thought that she was scheming and is struggling to maintain power. That is not true at all! She was simply here to make sure that she straightened these people out and show them that Shen Qui has someone capable on his side. How did it all come to scheming?

Lyca was aware that she wasn't a very good schemer at all. She would rather use brute force than scheme against this group of old foxes. "You interrupted me," she uttered. She was talking about making Shen Qui's seal just like in her previous world but this man interrupted her because he thought she was scheming.

"So?" the man in pink lifted an eyebrow. "You know what? I applaud you. Yes, I agree you are extremely good at acting! Again, this is all futile, we already know that Shen Qui is dead. Without him and his people you are— "

"Kill that man…" Lyca said in a low voice. The sound of a glass being broken immediately silenced everyone in the room.

"AHHH! Sniper!" someone from the group uttered. This immediately caused another ruckus as everyone looked at the now dead man in pink. A hole can be seen in between his brows.

"What the hell are you doing!?"

"I already told you. If you die… your heirs will only bury you. I will tell them that someone is targeting our territory. First was Q and then the clan leaders. Do you think they wouldn't believe such a brilliant story?" Lyca uttered before she sighed. She then started drumming her hand on the table. "My husband was clearly alive and you were already discussing dividing the territory and considering who would replace him?" she snorted. Seeing everyone's ashen faces, Lyca chuckled. "The only reason why I didn't kill all of you is that I am too lazy to deal with your heirs. I could, of course, kill them too but that would be very bad for business. Isn't it?"

"You— "

Lyca snorted as she rolled her eyes. "Funny how you are cursing my husband to die. How about I just kill you now and let him deal with your heirs. That would be a very good idea, right?" Did this people thought, she rushed in here without any backup? Lyca really wanted to laugh.

First and foremost, she had five people waiting for her outside of this building. One is the sniper and four are prepared to rush in here and kill these people for her. 

"You— You can't just… do that!" someone from the group said. "If we die… if we die…" once again, silence followed the man's words.

"What do you really want? I don't believe that you only wanted to change the name and increase the money!" the woman named Matriarch Chu asked, her face was extremely grave as she stared at Lyca's smiling face. "Just tell us what you really want so you can leave us alone!" she added.
