"Tell them, Lord Olfan saw everything and is also sending his condolences for these people's death." She added making the Lord totally speechless.
Lord Olfan stared at the woman as she continued giving instructions to her people. Not an iota of emotions can be seen in his face as he inwardly praised Lyca's actions. The woman wasn't only cunning, she was also a money-grubber. Who would have thought that Matriarch Chu would meet her match tonight? Lord Olfan's gaze soon landed on the people lying on the ground. He didn't smell blood when he arrived, and it was obvious that everyone didn't have any wounds. He couldn't help but wonder how they died. Was it some poison?
"Yes, Miss Xi." Ma Ping's words interrupted Lord Olfan's thoughts.
"Hmmm. Alright, clean up people. Don't forget to set some traps for the rats. These rats deserve the worse death after what they did to our brothers and sisters!" Lyca righteously said before walking back towards the car. To Lord Olfan's surprise, Lyca maintained her silence all throughout the ride as if she was really in deep thought.
Olfan couldn't help but wonder if Lyca already knew that he was working with Matriarch Chu this time. However, seeing the woman's daze expression, Olfan shook his head inwardly. There's no way that Lyca would be able to guess the real reason why he was here.
"Mr. Collazo…" Lyca suddenly said just like the car that they were riding slowly stopped in front of the house. Lyca turned her head towards him, meeting his sharp gaze. "If you continue working with them, you will suffer a great loss."
"…" The woman was threatening him again. When was the last time that someone actually threatened his business? Isn't it during the time when that Cleo was obsessing over his son? Olfan snorted in response. "Leave us." He said.
"Boss, are you— "
"Yes. Leave us." Olfan said. Almost immediately, his two guards got out of the car as well as the driver. "You already know that I am working with them and yet you blatantly demand an exorbitant amount of money as compensation when you were the one who killed them?"
"Would you really refute the news?" Lyca only smiled. By now, the news of Matriarch Chu's people catching rats should have reached the Matriarch's ears. However, she would never refute those claims. First and foremost, she would never say that those people all died after trying to sneak into the ranch. Second, refuting such claims was like saying that she really wanted to kill Shen Qui and Lyca. Third, it was like announcing to the world that she tried to rebel against the person who is guarding her business. That would only ruin the woman's reputation.
Lyca already knew that the woman would rather pay her millions than ruin her own reputation. She was certain that Matriarch Chu would pay her for the videos too. The smile on Lyca's face never dimmed as she continued, "Coming in here while those people are attacking was enough for me to guess the reason why you are here. You wanted me to panic. You wanted to observe my reaction. And most importantly, you wanted to see if someone is using me to control this territory. You keep on calling me, Miss Huang. Did the Lord thought that my father was supporting me and is the one making me do all these things?" Huang Sheng Hong is more than ten years older than this man. However, Lyca had reasons to believe that they actually knew each other.
Olfan chuckled in response. "And I got nothing." He was looking down on Lyca. She was a woman, weaker than men, dumber than men. Her emotions were her weakness— just like Cleo. Women are weaker than men, and even biology itself would agree with that statement. So, why would he put this woman in his eyes?
To him, Lyca was nothing but an angry wife. She killed Ghost Rider because she thought he was the one responsible for her husband's accident. After all, that man had been showing his hate towards Shen Qui since the first day that they met. Then she tried to suppress the council so she could lead this territory after they finally announce Shen Qui's passing. If his guess was right, someone else is backing this woman. That someone should be the person telling her what to do. He had guessed that it was her father— Huang Sheng Hong.
However, it seems that the woman is actually smarter than she looks.
During the attack, Olfan was expecting this woman to panic, pale, and perhaps run away. However, she never did those things. Instead, she calmly told the person on the other line to take care of everything.
It seems that she was really Huang Sheng Hong's daughter.
"At first, I was wondering if you are here to get Cleo. Or if you are here to try and kill me or everyone else." Lyca continued. "Then, I realized something. Lord Olfan… never negotiates with people. He would always point a gun at someone's head while asking them for cooperation." She made a deliberate pause as she observed the man's reaction. "So, why would a man who obviously underestimated me try to offer a cooperation?"
"Smart," Olfan nodded. "I already cooperated with Matriarch Chu. I, together with everyone else will take over this place for everyone's benefit. Struggling is pointless. It's either you cooperate and just give me everything, or you die." Now that he already confirmed that Huang Sheng Hong is not involved in this matter, Olfan had no other reasons to delay his goal. "I want this territory, and I always get what I want."
Lyca lifted an eyebrow before she chuckled. Soon, her low chuckle turned into a burst of full-blown laughter, mockery laced her gaze. "Mr. Collazo..." Lyca didn't continue her words as she snorted. Then she got out of the car without saying another word, making the man a bit confused. Was that it? Isn't she going to say something frightening and intimidating? Olfan couldn't help but frown as she stared at the woman's back.
