Just as expected, not many people were surprised to hear about the bidding.
Lyca thought that it was because many of them have spies around each other. For instance, the Xu should have a spy on the Shen Family and some families should have spied on other families. To the people in upper society, this is considered normal. To Lyca, these people are just too nosy.
She rested her feet on the table as she looked at the bidding. Right now, they are bidding on the blueprint of the lower-quality armor. After a few minutes, she stood and stretched before walking out of the small room. It was already past ten and she had been sitting in her comfortable chair for hours now. Her butt is starting to feel a little numb.
"I've been looking for you everywhere. Turns out… you were here watching us."
Lyca eyed the man who spoke the moment she opened the door.
"I wanted to just barge in but I know you did something to protect yourself out there."
Lyca didn't say anything. She turned her gaze away from the man wearing an all-white suit. "Why are you here?" she asked.
"To talk to you…" He took a step towards her, decreasing the five feet distance between them.
"One more step and you die."
This made him stopped walking. He stood, gentle eyes staring at her. Was he waiting for her to hug him? Crazy.
"I don't remember we still have something to talk about Mr. Xu."
"Listen…" Xu Ke gulped. "I won't go into detail about what happened but… I came here to talk to you about our world."
Lyca only arched her eyebrow without saying anything.
"Don't you want to go back?"
Still, she didn't answer him. Why would she want to go back to a world like that? In her previous world, you can't even sleep without being aware of your surroundings. You have to always watch your back. If other humans won't kill you, monsters and demons will.
It was dangerous.
And tiring.
Who would want a world like that?
"Listen… I think it's time that we forgive what happened in the past and help each other out. After all, we are like aliens in this world. We need to find a way to come back."
"Mr. Xu— "
"Lyca… please stop acting. I know you are not from this world. I know it from the moment I saw you at that cave."
That f*cking cave! Lyca gnashed her teeth in silence. She never once thought that Xu Ke would also arrive in this world. She never even considered that she would once again see him, alive and well. She hated it.
"I know you miss that world. Listen… I miss it too. We don't belong in this world. We should find a way to go back."
"Mr. Xu… I have a question." Lyca frowned. "Are you crazy?" So what if he knows she was once his lover? She would deny it no matter what! It's not like they already talk about this before… right? Heh, he could insist all he wanted. All she needed to do was deny it.
"Lyca— "
"I mean… are you on drugs? Cocaine? Did you use some injectable?" She continued.
"Does this mean… you don't want to come back with me?"
Why would she come back with him? No. The real question should be… Why did he assume that Lyca would just act like a friend to him? Considering, he murdered her and her whole family in that world. Did he forget those things?
"About the past— " Xu Ke took another step but before he could approach her further, a sharp blade was already on his neck.
"Stay away." Shen Qui's face was just a few inches away from Xu Ke. He squinted at Xu Ke, his hand tight around the dagger. "Stay… away…."
Xu Ke's face turned rigid. He didn't feel Shen Qui approached them, nor he felt his presence. In this world, only Lyca and Xu Ke should know ways how to hide themselves in the dark. Did Lyca taught him something? A sour taste started to spread in Xu Ke's mouth. But even with those methods, Xu Ke was confident that he should have been able to detect Shen Qui.
Xu Ke took a step back, his eyes never left Shen Qui's cold ones. "What are you?" he asked. He tried to look at Lyca who was standing behind Shen Qui, but she wasn't planning to move. And with Shen Qui's height, Xu Ke found it difficult to get a glimpse of Lyca's head.
"Dr. Xu … I never thought that you would try to assault a weak woman who was just trying to relax." Shen Qui withdraw the knife and smiled at Xu Ke.
Weak Woman…
The words echoed in Xu Ke's ears. He chuckled. "Weak?"
"Weak and defenseless." Shen Qui added. A confident smile appeared on his face. "Weak, defenseless, and married."
For some reason, the word married made Xu Ke irritated. "Mr. Shen… it was a misunderstanding. I was just talking to her. I thought… she was lost."
"She's waiting for me." Shen Qui said.
What irritated Xu Ke the most was the fact that Shen Qui didn't move and it seemed like Lyca wasn't planning on walking away too. Was she planning to just stand there behind him?
That was not the woman that he knew!
"We were planning to enjoy the night together." The meaning behind Shen Qui's words was simple. Xu Ke was disturbing their date.
"Well? I think I should just leave then…" Xu Ke faked a laughter. "I guess… I should just see you back in the hall?" Right now, he was not confident that he would be able to fight against Lyca and Shen Qui together. Lyca — if she was still the woman that he knew— was already difficult to deal with. She would surely defeat him during the night. It was her expertise. And then… there was Shen Qui.
He needed to know more about him!
