Lily pretended to frown. She narrowed her eyes at Victor before turning her gaze towards Mr. Kuznetsov. "The Order… They don't know about this, do they?" It was quite obvious that Mr. Kuznetsov was acting alone. Why else would his close confidant Mr. Neeson not be here when retrieving such an important item? "Do they know that you asked this person to kill my grandmother?"
"Of course they know," Mr. Kuznetsov sneered. "But what can they do? Kill me? I control a whole country. What do you think will happen if I die?"
"You—"
Seeing Lily's face turned pale, Mr. Kuznetsov smirked. "Now hand it over to me!"
"Why would you want this for yourself? Are you doing this to create a war?"
"Hmph! What do you know? You are only a business woman! You have nothing to do with my affairs! Give me the box. Now!" Seeing Lily still hesitate to hand over the box, Mr. Kuznetsov grew impatient and strode towards Lily. Without saying anything, he grabbed the box and immediately opened it.
"Eh?" Mr. Kuznetsov's eyes turned wide. "What are these?" His face instantly turned red with anger as he glared at Lily. "Do I look like a fool to you!?" Seeing his anger, Lily didn't hesitate as he raised her knees and kicked the man's crotch. This action of course surprised the two men in the room. Before they could react, Lily immediately ran back to the Library without sparing the two another glance.
A loud thud echoed inside the room, followed by Mr. Kuznetsov hissing. "Get her!" he yelled at Victor who stood there frozen. The man's gruff voice seemed to wake him up from his stupor. He immediately followed Lily to the library. However, when he opened the door, a huge lamp flew towards his face.
Surprised, Victor didn't have the time to avoid the lamp. Still, with his agile body, his reactions were pretty quick, he turned to his left but unfortunately, since he was really surprised by the attack, the lamp was still able to hit his face. A curse instantly escaped his lips. Still, he didn't let this hinder him. He ran towards Lily, fist clenched and eyes wide with anger.
"Bitch!" He hissed as he swung his hands towards her. However, Lily was already expecting this. She moved her head aside and avoided the punch, in response, her fist flew towards his face.
"Jesus Christ!" Lily cried out when her hand hit Victor's face. She heard a crack and was sure that she had broken something in her hand. As a woman who was never used in fighting, how could Lily withstand the pain of hitting someone straight in the jaw? Her eyes turned red as she held her aching hand. She never expected that punching someone is this painful!
She watched as Victor staggered, surprised at her actions. She immediately used this opportunity to grab some books and throw it towards his head. However, how could this be enough to attack an old man who practiced martial arts since he was young? Victor shook his head and started approaching Lily again.
"You know you can't beat me." Victor hissed, his face extremely cold and chilly. "You better give up and give us what we want. If you do tha, I will give you an easy death!"
"Why did you kill my grandmother?" Lily ignored his words.
"Isn't that because she was the one who killed my parents?"
"How do you know that?"
"What?" The older man sneered. "Are you going to convince me that I saw the wrong thing? Hmph! You cannot fool me! I have worked with Lilian for years! I know who she manipulates people! She even tried to manipulate me into thinking she never killed anyone!"
"BANG!" Another book flew towards victor but he easily dodged it, making it hit the wall with a loud bang.
"Bitch! I told you to give up! You can't win against me! Struggling like this will only further hurt your body!" In actuality, Victor was hesitating in hurting Lily as he understood her value. Moreover, Lily didn't really say that she had found the research materials. She had retrieved the box and made him think that she already got it. Now that Victor thought about it… his expression suddenly changed.
That is right. Lily actually fooled them into thinking that she already had the material. Enraged, Victor's face turned red as he approached Lily. Using his body, he quickly held Lily's other hand that was about to punch him. How could a woman fight the force of a six foot tall man?
Lily flinched as Victor tightened his hand around her injured hand. The man was still too quick for her to avoid him. In the end, he immediately subdued her with one move.
"What?"
Despite the pain, Lily opened her eyes to look at the man that towered over her. She let out a low moan as he tightened his hand. "Let…" Lily paled, unable to utter the next words. Her heart sank. How could she withstand the pain of her broken bone being crushed like a paper? Slowly, a tear rolled down in Lily's eyes.
��You fooled us." Victor hissed as he used his force to raise his hand that was holding Lily's hand. With Lily's small frame, the old man easily hung her on the air like a broken kite. Then he pushed Lily against the wall, creating a loud sound. Lily cried out in pain, her face turned so white it looked like a piece of paper. "You let us think that you finally found it so you could make the traitors reveal themselves. How cunning!" His bloodshot eyes glared at her. "But… aren't you alone now? Why are you so proud? Hm? Walking around threatening people like an arrogant fool! Aren't you only a crazy widow?"
"Heh," Lily forced a snort out of her lips. "Crazy Widow?" She raised her head and met his eyes. Another snort escaped her lips as she used everything that she had to kick his manhood. "Then… let me show you how fucking crazy I am!"
