Chapter 401: Disrespect

The day that they were supposed to go back to Kong City arrived.

This time, they purposely chose a shortcut road that would lead them to Kong City. The street was not as crowded as the others, and it would pass through a few areas with a lot of trees. Lyca anticipated that the attack would happen in one of those areas.

Just like the people who attacked them, Lyca's people were armed. Everyone was given a set of daggers, a short firearm, and Lyca's new bullet. This time, Lyca was planning to use this ambush as a way to show off her new products and make a few people suffer.

"Everyone ready?" Lyca looked at her team. All of them were wearing armor. In response, the team nodded silently. "Good. Remember… this time. You don't have to control yourselves. Shoot 'em, shoot 'em dead. I won't tolerate mistakes."

Again, everyone nodded. A gentle smile appeared on Lyca's face. "Wonderful. Now… everyone go inside your designated cars. Remember… The people that wanted to harm you doesn't deserve to live anymore." She waved and watched them go inside their vans.

Soon, four black tinted vans left the mansion. The vans were not bulletproof, and everyone inside was wearing armor. Even the drivers were wearing one.

The smile on Lyca's face disappeared as she turned towards Ronan. "I want to see everything… real-time."

Ronan smirked. "A little demanding but… sure." Ronan didn't hesitate to take Lyca to his office. After typing a few codes, one computer screen instantly satellite images of the vans. "Don't touch anything. I will go to Q's office. I need to finish a few things."

"Oh." Lyca nodded. With their newfound popularity, Shen Qui's schedule was really packed. While she doesn't like it, Lyca decided not to do anything. After all, he is doing this for her. She then turned towards Rue, who had been silent since that incident. "Why are you here?"

"I want to see it."

"Oh."

Rue sighed. She had been close to Cleo for years now. In fact, she considered Cleo, a very close friend. Seeing her bloody and injured made her angry. "I slapped Chu Munan."

"Hm?" Lyca looked at the beautiful woman next to her. "Why?"

"He said it was not Chu Nan's fault. How come it's not his fault? He just stood up and walked away! Those people were not dead, and yet he just walked away! He was scared that he would hurt them too much."

"Oh. You should have kicked him too. You know— "Lyca's words were interrupted when she heard some shouting outside of the room. She stood up and strode out only to see Ronan trying to stop Xu Rong'er from walking towards the room Lyca was in. "How come you're here?"

"There will be an ambush!" Xu Rong'er said. "Can you let me go now? I am not some criminal! I told you! I am here to talk to her! How come everyone around this place is so weird and disrespectful? They don't even know how to respect a lady!"

"We know how to respect people." Ronan let Xu Rong'er's hands go. "But you aren't acting like one."

"You— "

"What do you want to tell me?" Sensing the woman about to erupt into another endless chatter, Lyca asked.

"I said… there will be an ambush! Xu Jihan received some news from people from Dal Valley. They are going to ambush your people!"

"Oh. Is that why you are here?"

"Of course! Go and call your people! Make them stop… turn around and go by plane!" Seeing Lyca just looked at her without moving, Xu Rong'er started to get nervous. "Why are you in a daze!? Where is Brother Munan? Was he… did he come with them?" In her mind, Lyca was so shocked because someone important traveled with those people.

"I'm just wondering," Lyca said.

"What?"

"Who let you in?"

"Why are you thinking of such things during this time?" Unbelievable! Can this Lyca act like a normal person?

"I want to fire them."

"You— "

"So, who let you in?"

"No one! I barged in! My guards beat them." There was a tinge of pride in her voice.

"Oh. That made sense." Lyca shrugged. Since her people were already going back to Kong City, only regular guards remain at the gates. "I should hire more experienced people."

"How come you are thinking about that now? I want to know where is Brother Munan!"

"Why are you asking me?"

"You— "Of course, she would ask Lyca. Chu Munan came here to see Lyca. It meant he would always follow her around. "Is he inside the room?"

"Do after receiving the news you just came here because you are worried about my people? I think that's very sweet. Right, Ronan?"

"Hmm. Sweet."

"I came here because I want to know where is Brother Munan!"

"Oh. Then he is not here. You can leave now."

"You— Stop right there!" Xu Rong'er yelled when Lyca turned around and started walking towards the room. "Why are you so calm? Aren't you scared that your people will die?"

"I'm scared," Lyca said. "But what can I do about it?"

"You can ask them to turn around."

"They won't."

"You— Did you know about this ambush ahead of time? No…" Xu Rong'er shook her head. "That's impossible. I know you don't have people inside Dal Valley!"

"I don't have people inside Dal Valley," Lyca confirmed. But isn't it too apparent that those muscle heads would try and ambush her people for revenge? "You can leave now. Thanks for telling me about this. I just decided not to kill you anymore."

"…"

"…"

Xu Rong'er just stood there as Lyca walked away from her. She sighed in defeat. This woman is definitely something. Turning towards Ronan, Xu Rong'er said, "Everyone here is weird."

"I'm taking that as a compliment." Ronan shrugged. "You know the way out. Don't get lost… Lyca had traps around this house. She hates rats."

"…" Was he threatening her? However, Ronan already walked inside one of the rooms not far away from her. Defeated, Xu Rong'er rolled her eyes and let out a few curses before going out of the mansion.

"That woman is really ungrateful!" She instantly complained when she got inside her car. Next to her sat Xu Jihan.

"I already told you. She already knows. How come you never believe me?"

"But you said she didn't have spies around them? How did she know? Did she guessed it?"

Xu Jihan nodded. "You can't judge that woman. You should have just listened. I just received a call from my people. Chu Munan is with his brother in the hospital. Do you want to see them before leaving?"

Xu Rong'er crossed her arms and shook her head. "No. I want to leave this place as soon as possible!"
