The Princess And The Lord



The man still felt unsure but he had no other way to protect his cheap life. "I…I was told to keep an eye on the man named Garrof and Lloyd and then report anyone who interacted with them..." The man suddenly coughed incessantly probably because of the internal injuries he received during the collision.

"Who gave you the order" Lory probed.

The man paused, he pursed his lips and refused to talk. Lory, who didn't want to waste any more time, raised her hand, Suddenly water droplets appeared from the air and circled her hand and a second later the water gradually froze and then turned into sharp ice imitating a knife.

The man gasped when he realized that what he was facing was not just any hunter but a hunter with a strong talent who could change the form of their innate power into another form.

One should only know very a few 'Gifted' people who can change their innate power because it requires a lot of mana, concentration, and rigorous training to reach that stage and in most cases, it also requires luck because some people even though they have met all these criteria still cannot transform their innated power, therefore, people who are able to do that can be counted with one hand including the whole three Lucient Family so who is this woman!

Lory pressed the sharp ice blade to the man's neck "Hurry up, I don't have much time to play with you"

Cold sweat dripped down his forehead the last barrier in the man's heart crumbling before Lory's strength, "I...I am an Argus from Luxemborough" he squeezed out the last words with difficulty.

Lory was stunned then a mocking smile spread across her beautiful face "Secret agent huh? What an honor" said Lory condescendingly "So why did you eavesdrop on our conversation? I think it has something to do with the Hamilton family, right? Tell me what Luxemborough's plans are with the Hamilton family!" Lory increased the pressure of her ice blade on the man's neck until it scraped his skin and soon blood was flowing from his neck.

The coldness of Lory's eyes made him hold his breath. He knew it wasn't an empty threat. "I...I don't know – I don't know anything okay...they...they just said they needed to know everything related to Garrof and his group but that's all...they wouldn't talk about any details to us...they don't have to" his voice was full of grievance.

"Tsk, of course, you don't know much, you are just a dispensable tool for Luxemborough to carry out their evil deeds. "You don't even hesitate to blow up your own country and kill your own people just to achieve your goals," sneered Lory.

The man's eyes widened with shock and disbelief, This woman spoke so confidently as if she saw it with her own eyes but there was no way that even the citizens of Luxemborough didn't know this, The man couldn't stop asking who exactly this woman was.

Lory could guess what this man was thinking. "Don't look at me like that, You don't think no one knows about what Argus has done, you'd be surprised how many people actually know about this."

"If you know about us you better not get involved in this, Believe me when I say the Hamilton Family will be finished if you stay with them, you will only drag yourself down with them" It seemed that the man was still trying to find a way out.

"Is that so" Lory didn't take it seriously "I thought you didn't know the details?" Lory frowned, "Are you new to this?"

"...."

Lory was almost sure this man must be a new recruit, otherwise, how could he be so stupid? Lory sighed then without warning he stabbed the man's shoulder and the man screamed in pain.

Blood flowed from his clothes down to his pants and he looked at Lory as if he had been wronged "You said you will not harm me!"

"Only if you tell me everything!" Lory refuted.

Lory then summoned another ice blade. "Now tell me what you know before I stab you and believe me this time the knife won't be in your shoulder" Lory's eyes flashed dangerously.

The man now knew for sure he would be killed by this woman if he did not give her what she asked for. "I don't know much, okay...I just heard them say the Hamiltons played a pivotal role in their plans, but since they keep rejecting our advances, it was inevitable that they...they had to be eliminated."

"So our speculation about you guys seems to be correct" muttered Lory.

The man suddenly chuckled, "Forget it, they will hunt you down after everything you know, Heck, none of us will survive after this...just kill me"

Lory was unfazed by the man's chattering, "Where's the recording device? I know you brought it with you" Lory pressed the sharp tip of the knife against the man's throat.

The man clenched his jaw, even though he said he didn't mind being killed but his natural instinct was still to want to survive and Lory knew this very well.

"It's in my pocket," The man said in a resigned tone.

"Take it out, I can't touch you, it's indecent," Lory said like an innocent girl.

'So killing me was descent?'

The man slowly reached into his pocket and took out a thin rectangular box that was no bigger than the palm of a child's hand.

Lory snatched the recording from the man's hand "Is there anyone other than your group member listening to our conversation?"

"Who knows.." The man subtly averted his gaze.

Lory then smiled "Well I just checked it myself"

Lory guessed that if he most likely hadn't told his superiors about the recording, if they had heard what happened they would have sent help to catch them right here - right now but it's all quiet. 

"Okay that's it!" the frozen blade in Lory's hand disappeared into mist.

As soon as the pressure on his throat was gone he looked at Lory's face nervously, "Let me go, and I won't tell anyone about you"

"I thought you wanted me to kill you" How could an agent be so wishy-washy?

"After this, I will disappear, I will only be killed if I return to Argus after I failed my mission," The fear on the man's face was apparent, "Besides, you promised not to kill me..."

Lory's mouth curled upward, "That's true, and I always kept my promise" Lory stood up then she glanced at Zhao Li Xin.

Lory looked at Zhao Li Xin who looked very bored like a husband waiting for his wife to finish her shopping, Lory felt a little guilty like a wife who realized how long she had made her husband wait for her to finish shopping.

[Um, Husband, it's your turn now!] Lory smiled apologetically and Zhao Li Xin's eyes instantly lit up.

It was cute and scary at the same time, Lory could only hold a candle to Argus's agent but she couldn't let him live after everything he knew just like they couldn't let her live.

A terrible premonition gripped his heart like a beast's claws when he saw Zhao Li Xin's devilish smile greet him, "Hellooo~"

"…."

Why this is so familiar thought the man before her face becoming rigid "You...you can't! If you kill me, more people will come, all of you will die!" he shouted half begging and half threatening whatever it is, he hopes it will make Zhao Li Xin hesitated but of course that was just a useless hope.

Zhao Li Xin raised his hands and Dark blue fire engulfed his hand, the heat from his hand was in contrast with his cold eyes.

The poor man gulped as the handsome man who looked like an immortal descended from heaven but he hissed like a devil crawling from the depths of hell [I don't understand what you're saying…]

Zhao Li Xin flicked his finger then the sparks from his flame shot up and landed on the man's body just in a second the man lit up like a torch. The man didn't even have time to resist as the blue flames devoured him and the vehicle behind him creating a giant bonfire in the middle of the empty road.
