"Do you still need some time to sleep so you can complete this dream of yours?" She smiled when she saw the tinge of anger in the man's eyes. The man's eyes squinted at her as his lips pursed into a thin line. Lyca continued smiling. This man was known for being a killer. They say that he would never hesitate to kill someone, even if that person was related to him. There was even a rumor that says, Olfan tortured his own father who left him and his mother when he was still a small child.
"Good." Lord Olfan suddenly nodded. "I came here to ask for cooperation and yet you dare make fun of me. I will remember this." The man eyed his watch before staring at Lyca. "And shall I say that you will regret this action?"
"I regret a lot of things, Mr. Collazo but this is not going to be one of them," she said, her gaze still glued at the man's eyes. This man was rumored to be more ruthless than Santa. Moreover, his wealth is also astounding. Many businessmen would even say that this Olfan is one of the richest people in the region.
Just as Lyca was about to tell the man to leave, her phone suddenly rung. Almost immediately, her expression changed, her face sunk. Isn't this a signal that someone is trying to stealthily attack their base? She immediately answered the call. "I am busy."
"Twenty people from the west another twenty from the east. Fifteen seconds before they reach the walls."
"Take care of it. Silently." Lyca said before ending the call. For a few seconds, Lyca turned silent. This place was located on the border of Long City and Kong City. Aside from the small group of hills that bordered it on Ralia City, this place was basically flat. Meaning, seeing people try to approach the tall walls was very easy.
Especially if those were not really trained in covert operations. Lyca's eyes squinted. Earlier, she already asked herself if this man's arrival was a coincidence. It seems that she was right after all.
This man was here for a reason.
With this in mind, Lyca suddenly stood and went to one of the cupboards, grabbing a surgical mask and giving it to the three men including Lord Olfan.
"What's this?"
"We are catching some rats," Lyca uttered. "You might not like the smell." She smiled before putting on her own mask. Then she called someone to drive them towards out and around the walls. After a few seconds, Lyca and the others finally reach the western walls and as expected, there were already bodies lying on the ground. All of them lifeless.
Lyca calmly got out of the black hummer and walked towards her people. She nodded at Ma Ping and Oneword before looking at the Lord who just got out of the car.
"Big rats," Lyca said before the Lord could open his mouth to ask. She put her hands behind her back while looking at the bodies on the ground. Each of them was wearing a black tactical suit, each had their own long firearm and some short backups. She even spotted a grenade in one of the men.
As expected, these people were sent here to try and test their security. Lyca could only smile. It seems that the other side wasn't aware of the security system of the ranch. Thus, they sent some sacrifice lambs, arming them with guns, hoping that it would reveal whatever it was that could kill them if they get too close to the four-meter wall of the ranch.
"Miss Huang… what is this?" Lord Olfan's face was devoid of any expression. "Are you perhaps trying to scare me away?"
"Hm?" Lyca lifted her head away from the corpses. "The Lord misunderstood." She beamed. "You are here to witness this." She didn't hide the mischievous glint in her eyes before she asked Ma Ping. "Do we have something?"
"We recognized one of them as someone who works with Matriarch Chu," Ma Ping gave her the tablet showing the man's profile. However, Lyca didn't accept the tablet, instead, she started chuckling.
"Of course, Matriarch Chu's people were going to be here. This was a joint operation, after all." She said before looking at Lord Olfan. "In this territory, rats and other pests are becoming bolder every day. So Matriarch Chu asked my assistance to kill these rats. She said she will pay ten million in USD just to capture these big rats. She even sent her people to help out. However, it seems that these rats were really dangerous. All of them died while fighting rats, even a few of my men died too." She shamelessly shook her head making Lord Olfan Speechless. Seeing the man stare at her in a daze, Lyca continued.
"Ma Ping, please announce this news to everyone. These people died because they were fighting rats in my ranch. Matriarch Chu said she will compensate us ten million if we help her out. However, because all of her men died, tell her I will give her a discount. Nine million in USD is not a problem anymore. Moreover, we will make a memorial for these people. These are heroes. They actually died of fighting huge rats."
Lyca was actually expecting Ma Ping not to understand her words. To her surprise, the latter didn't even hesitate before he nodded. "Yes, Miss Xi. I will tell Matriarch about this."
"Don't forget the bring the CCTV of them fighting rats just to prove that these people are brave. Tell her I am planning to release some copies online just so everyone will acknowledge their bravery. Of course, she could always buy all the videos if she wanted to release them herself. Tell her it's another five million as the videos are in 8G. Mass producing such things are very expensive these days."
"…"
Silence followed Lyca's words. Everyone stared at her as if they didn't know if they wanted to laugh or cry at her shamelessness.
