Chapter 141

The Obsidian Lounge? Daniel looked at Lily in surprise. “Are you sure?”

Obsidian Lounge belonged to Reese, after all, Lily’s decision to visit caught Daniel off guard, but she was unphased. Arching her brows, she glanced at him coldly.

“Is there an issue

Her piercing gaze sent shivers down his spine. Withdrawing his gaze in haste, he answered, “No. I’ll take you there now.

Along the way, Daniel sneaked a few glances at Lily. Though she had been silent, she looked terrifying. He had never seen her like this before.

Once they arrived at Obsidian Lounge, Lily emerged from the car.

“Wait for me in the car,” she instructed cokily.

“Ms.-”

Daniel was just about to inform her that she couldn’t enter Obsidian Lounge without an invitation when she just strode right in. The guards didn’t even stop her at all.

Daniel widened his eyes, a glint flickering in his eyes. What was Lily’s real identity? How could she just enter the Obsidian Lounge freely?

The security here was extremely tight. Even Loid had to ask for the owner’s permission if he were to enter. How exactly had Lily managed it?

Lily went straight to the elevator and pressed the button for the 25th floor. As soon as she exited the elevator, a group of people rushed past her. The moment the person in the lead spotted her, he fell to his knees,

“Reese!”

Lily glanced at him, not uttering a word. She walked straight into a spacious room. The people behind her exchanged glances, and two of them began perspiring on their foreheads. They all trailed after her.

The few men got on their knees again once the door closed. One of them said, “I’m sorry, Reese. I didn’t expect the Maynards to purchase firearms without permission.”

The man speaking was Elijah Jones, the second in command of the underground forces. He obeyed only Lily’s orders and had tens of thousands of men under his command. Everyone treated him with great respect

Despite being in his 30s, he was quivering in front of Lily, a mere 19–year–old. He knew her too well to underestimate her. She could be extremely vicious if she was infuriated.

Actually, Lily was easy to talk to. She was, however, unyielding in terms of adhering to her core principles

She wouldn’t allow anyone to violate them. Private possession of firearms was not only against her rules but also against the rules of the underground forces.

The Maynards hadn’t just violated this rule, but they also nearly killed Lily. As a result, Elijah had to bear the regression.

Tucking both her hands in her pockets, Lily scanned the room. Her expression remained shuttered. Not seeing the person she was looking for, she inquired, “Where’s Clinton? “He’s gone to deal with the Maynards,” Elijah replied politely.

Lily took a bottle of beer from the fridge and took a swig of it. Nonchalantly, she began, “Call him and tell him not to lay a finger on the Maynards. I’ll deal with them personally,” Elijah inhaled sharply. Things must have been grave for Lily to deal with them personally. Still, he didn’t dare to say anything else except a docile “Yes”

Downing the entire bottle in one go, Lily glowered at Elijah. “Someone has to bear the consequences for the rulebreakers!”

Elijah shuddered. “Yes. I’ll accept my punishment. Please go ahead, Reese.”

“Tdon’t have time to deal with you. Go to the detention hall for your punishment instead.” Lily tossed the beer bottle into the trash can. “Arrange for someone to protect my grandma. If something happens to her again

Elijah immediately interjected before she could finish, “Rest assured, Reese. I swear nothing will happen to Madam Hutchinson again.”

Lily nodded. “I’m leaving now then.”

Gaping at her in shock, Elijah was confused by the sudden change in her demeanor. In the past, they would surely earn a few days in the hospital if something like this happened. Yet, she merely told him to go to the detention hall instead to claim his own punishment. In fact, she seemingly didn’t intend to punish them at all.

Litle was Elijah aware that Lily had become less hostile ever since she started seeing Lold.
