Hound shook his head. “I'm sorry. That's not possible. Today, if you don't disappear, the little girl will.”

They were trying to force Lacey into committing suicide so that they didn't need to dirty their hands.

That way, they wouldn't leave any evidence that could be traced back to them.

Although Fourth Lord had their back, they knew one could never be too careful.

Lacey was devastated. “Hound, there's no bad blood between us. Why must you force me down this path of

doom?”

Hound relented. “Fine, I'll explain why you have to die. We have no intention of killing you, but someone else who is

very powerful wants you dead. If we don't do as we're told, we would be the ones to die. Therefore, when you

become a ghost, please don't come back to haunt us. You should find the true perpetrator instead.”

Having heard Hound's explanation, Lacey quickly grasped what was going on.

Without a doubt, this must be part of Ares' and Julian's scheme.

It had never crossed her mind that her own father would ever want her dead.

Lacey was devastated by the terrible thought.

Given that Ares had painted a target on her back, Lacey knew that she had to resign herself to her fate.

She wiped the tears off her face, yet more tears continued to gush out.

She sobbed, “Missy, turn around. I'm going to play a game with you, all right?”

Obviously, she wasn't going to let Missy watch her die.

“Mommy, don't! I don't want you to leave me,” Missy yelled in tears.

Missy was Zeke's daughter, after all. She was more mature and intelligent than the children of her age.

In fact, she had already seen through Hound's intention of forcing her mother to commit suicide.

At that moment, she was filled with panic and despair.

Lacey reminded, “Missy, you have to listen to instructions when you're living at the orphanage. Remember to eat

your meals regularly. I will be watching you from the shadows, and I'll always be by your side.”

“No! No!” Missy cried her lungs out.

Steeling her resolve, Lacey tied the rope by the door frame and prepared to commit suicide.

At the crucial moment, Missy suddenly ducked and avoided the dagger over her head.

Then she launched a sweeping kick at Hound's legs, tripping him onto the ground. With that, she had created an

opening in the encirclement.

She ran up to Lacey. “Mommy, run. I will protect you today.”

Lacey was shocked as she realized what a formidable fighter Missy was.

Hound was infuriated.

How can I lose to a kid? This is humiliating!

He roared, “What are all of you waiting for? Attack and kill her now!”

Hound's men charged at Lacey and Missy.

Having no fear, Missy engaged them in battle.

Despite her young age and lack of strength, she was a genius in martial arts.

Having been trained by the two masters, Nameless and Tyler, she was already a proper warrior.

Her attacks utilized leverage to overcome brute force.

By doing so, it made up for her lack of raw strength.

Thus, she managed to hold her own against a group of grown-ups.

Meanwhile, Lacey was astounded by what she saw.

She found it unbelievable that her supposedly weak daughter fought with such sophisticated combat skills.

Her martial arts training wasn't in vain at all. And to think that I kicked both of them out of the house when I found

out Zeke had sent her for training. That really was a mistake.

However, Lacey had no time to lose. Grabbing a broom by the side, she jumped into the fray and fought alongside

her daughter.
