Chapter 1085 The events that followed suit were within their plans.
"Where did you get the 'secret handbook’ from?” Lily had never browsed its contents. However, she knew the book in the safe was fake.
“There are tons of such things on the Internet. | just found one that was less popular and did something with its appearance, so it looks old. It was a piece of cake," Alexander explained simply.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtHe just put the handbook directly into the safe, but without any poison on its surface. That was a gift for Ralph anyway, so they did not need to complicate the situation.
"Why did you use that then?” Lily pursed her lips and gestured toward the arrow on the wall. Smirking, she asked, "Aren't you worried your uncle might die here if anything were to go wrong?” She would faint if the scene that greeted her when she opened the door to their room were Ralph lying in a pool of his own blood.
In response to that, Alexander smiled and walked over the wall. With his thumb and index finger around one of the arrows, he plucked it from the wall. It looked easy for him to do that. When he returned to Lily's side and showed her the arrow, she realized there was no arrowhead.
The arrow he used had a magnetic point. The magnets should be stronger than the average one, so Alexander looked like he had to put in seffort to pluck it earlier.
"Hey, if this were to shoot your uncle, wouldn't it expose your plan?” Lily played with the arrow, finding it quite interesting as it looked realistic. If Alexander did not show her that the arrows did not have arrowheads, she would not have realized it.
Alexander shook his head. "My uncle is always suspicious and thinks he's the smartest person in the room. If the traps were too simple, Ralph would be suspicious. If they were too tough, he wouldn't be able to break through it with his ‘intelligence.’ “Back in the office, | allowed him to see the safe’s passcode on purpose. | wanted to prevent him from stealing the company's confidential information, but | didn’t think it would be useful in this case.” Lily did not expect him to prepare for this since long ago. Ralph could never be a match for Alexander, making Lily wonder. "If he didn't remember the passcode or didn’t see it clearly at the office back then, he wouldn't be able to open this safe. Wouldn't that put all your effort in vain?" "If that were the case, he would return until he got what he wanted." Alexander paused for a moment before continuing, "Still, my target was never him. It's okay as long as Heather got the thing.” That was right. Heather was the most important person here.
Lily's smile disappeared. She would always get goosebumps whenever she thought about Heather. It was something that had never happened to her before.
It was her first tseeing someone so obsessed, to the level of madness, over kickboxing. Although Lily was obsessed with fragrances, she would never hurt anyone or do anything harmful just to get an ingredient.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm“Aren't you worried she might discover the handbook she has is also fake?" Lily asked.
"No." Alexander shook his head confidently. "She has never seen the real one before, so how would she be able to differentiate between the real and the fake one?” He prepared two copies of the fake secret handbook. He made one copy for Ralph, which looked more like a fake while keeping another copy in his study, which looked as authentic as possible. He knew Heather was the kind of person who would cto take the handbook by herself.
"There isn't any secret handbook in the first place. | told them that, but they didn't believe my words and insisted that such a thing exists according to legend. Since that's the case, | created one and made their wishes ctrue.” Frowning, Lily thought before asking, "Then the moves in the book..." "It's just the modification of sthings | learned back then. | added a few lessons learned there, so if Heather could understand them, it would help enhance her ability. If she doesn't, it will only hurt herself if she insists on practicing the moves in the book." Alexander did not want to harm anyone, but if Heather did not get the so- called "secret handbook," this matter would never end.
The moves in the book were contrary to the ones she practiced, so it would not cause her too much harm if she realized something was wrong along the way.
However, it would only hurt her to the point where she would no longer be able to practice kickboxing if she insisted on learning.
