When Lyca arrived inside the room, her placid expression immediately changed. Her face darkened, her hand clenched into tight fists. Turns out, even her spiritual energy wasn't enough to immediately heal Shen Qui. According to Ronan, the man only lost a lot of blood. Her spiritual energy should be enough to make him recover.
Sadly, this was not the case.
Lyca squinted at the man silently lying on the bed. Unlike earlier, Shen Qui no longer had the tubes around him. His breathing looked peaceful too. However, his face was still pale. While Lyca knew that recovering from losing a lot of blood is not easy, she was confident that using her energy to help him out should have made the situation better.
His healing would be faster, his body would recover at a very fast pace, even doctors would have a hard time believing it. Lyca's feet took her in front of Shen Qui, her hand immediately held his pulse. For a few seconds, she closed her eyes as she started thinking.
The difference between this world and her previous world was still astounding. If her guess was right, the reason why the recovery was a bit slower was that they are in this world. There is simply no Mana on this Earth. The people here cannot use magic, and even their bodies are far weaker than the normal human in her previous world.
She slowly put Shen Qui's hand on top of his stomach and sigh. She wanted to just lie down next to him and sleep. But she soon realized that her body had the stenched of blood and death. How could she expose him to such negative energy? She frowned and decided to take a quick bath before lying next to Shen Qui to sleep.
When Lyca woke up, she wasn't surprised to see that Shen Qui was still asleep. At least, this time, his face a not that pale compared to earlier. He looked more alive. Lyca looked at the time and realized that she had been asleep for more than ten hours. It was already nine in the morning. She sat next to Shen Qui and stared at his beautiful face.
Actually, Lyca was not dumb. She knew the reason why Shen Qui didn't want her to know about the dangerous circumstances that he was in. The man must have feared that she would suddenly fall asleep and not wake up again. While she knew this was foolish, she couldn't deny that she completely understand his point of view. After all, this man is a lovesick fool. Just like her.
Lyca shivered at the thought. She shouldn't be thinking about love in front of a wounded man, right? Another sigh escaped her lips. She had wasted a lot of time thinking about her emotions, fighting all the reasons inside her brain, and telling herself that this is simply lust. It was sex— nothing more. In the end, she had accepted her fate. She was in love.
Lyca slowly got out of the bed and changed her clothes before leaving the room. As expected, Ronan was already outside, waiting for her. "Do you ever sleep?" she asked while walking towards Shen Qui's office.
"This is an emergency! How could you increase the fees in the ports? People are complaining!"
"That's an emergency?" Lyca's face instantly turned cold. Is this the life that Shen Qui had every day? It was so early in the morning, and she was already facing someone's complaint! How could she start her day with a smile if something like this happens every day? "I am hungry," she walked towards the kitchen instead. She was originally planning to grab Shen Qui's laptop before going to the kitchen, but Ronan's words immediately ruin her mood. Now all she needed to do is eat! Or she might accidentally kill someone whose name starts with R!
Lyca reached the kitchen while grumbling. Then she immediately rummaged through the fridge, grabbed some eggs and sandwiches before making herself some egg sandwich with a lot of cheese. The action was too quick that it didn't take her five minutes to finish everything, including eating her food.
"That— You should eat more." Ronan suddenly uttered after a few minutes of watching Lyca in the kitchen. "If Boss Q knows that you aren't eating properly, he would surely…"
"Isn't this his fault?" Lyca hissed and sent him an annoyed face. If Shen Qui just told her about the problem with the mayor, if he wasn't too scared to put her in danger, this wouldn't happen! That is simply the case! Relationships are also partnerships! How could they consider themselves partners when the man was too scared to harm her?
Of course, this was all inside her mind. While a part of her felt angry, Lyca still understood his point. Still, this Shen Qui needed some punishment! "I need handcuffs." She said before shoving another sandwich inside her mouth. "And blindfolds, I might need some whip too!"
"…" Ronan shivered when he heard Lyca's words, but he didn't answer. He couldn't help but wonder why was she so mad. Shen Qui was the one wounded, isn't it better to just take care of him until he heals? Why does this woman want to handcuff him? Was she really planning on whipping someone wounded?
Lyca finished her food and left the kitchen, this time, with the silent Ronan along. Until now, Ronan still couldn't help but wonder how cruel Lyca was. What kind of wife would whip her almost dead husband? Ronan couldn't help but stay quiet until they reached Shen Qui's office.
Of course, he would never understand why Lyca was really angry. Aside from the fact that Shen Qui is wounded, she also needed to manage everything! Meaning, she needed to work hard and use a lot of her energy! This… This is preposterous! Until now, Lyca just wanted to finish everything and have Shen Qui wake up so he could take over.
"Alright, tell me everything!" Lyca said as she glanced at the huge TV that was across the couch. The TV actually had all the CCTV's around the ranch. Lyca was calmly observing the whole place on that TV.
"Well, people are complaining. They are threatening to— "
"Tell them to get the hell out of my port!" In the first place, they aren't earning that much money from these private yachts and shipments! Their money is from the weapons! Not from these rich people who think that they are on top of the food chain just because they have money.
"This— " Ronan gave Lyca a complicated look. As expected, she doesn't know how to do business at all! Lyca might be good at killing, but when it comes to businesses… "I don't think Boss Q would like that."
Lyca snorted and started slouching on the chair. Then she raised both of her feet and rested them on the table, her posture was extremely relaxed and lazy. It made Ronan wonder if she was actually serious. "Your boss was too kind. Where is he now?" Shen Qui was managing a territory, but his head was still lowered because he doesn't want to offend any rich family! If her guess was right, this was because Shen Qui thought that they aren't strong enough.
After all, three years was just too short to establish their own power and authority. Well, that was before she woke up. Right now, Lyca is awake. There are different methods to earn money using her knowledge. Moreover, the people that she had been training are showing huge potentials. In a few months, they would have thirty new experts in killing. "Alright," Ronan nodded. "I will tell Gas about it. Also, here is the list that you wanted. The list of names of the Families in that council. This includes the heirs and their current businesses."
"Hmmm." Lyca stared at the file and started reading it. Her lazy self was telling her to finish this task as soon as possible so she could proceed to the next, then finally rest. At this time, Lyca didn't understand that in this line of work, the word rest doesn't really exist.
After a few minutes of studying. Lyca started smiling. She wasn't an expert in scheming, but she could immediately see someone who was hiding their strength in one glance. "Investigate these three families. Clint, Chu, and this Arnold Yun. I want it done before the day ends."
"Why?" Ronan couldn't help but ask. These three families were actually the families that don't give them any trouble at all! Why try to provoke someone that is considered their ally?
"Just do it," Lyca shrugged and gave him back the files. "It's important. You can find me in the laboratory."
"Lab? But Boss Q would need your help in…" Ronan wasn't able to finish his words as Lyca was already outside of the office, smiling excitedly like a kid who just received candy.
