Diane breathed a sigh of relief after hearing that Severin would be back in another two days. Though


    she also knew that Lillie and the others were already strong enough, the way they respectfully


    addressed Severin as their master made it obvious that Severin was even stronger than them.


    Severin chatted with Diane for some time before they ended the call and went to bed.


    However, another couple who were lying in bed had insomnia at about an hour past midnight. None of


    Cain’s calls to Mehdi were answered, so both he and Lucy had a bad feeling in their heart. “Darling,


    they couldn’t have been killed, right?” Lucy finally asked Cain after some time had passed. Cain


    answered gloomily, “I don’t discount that possibility. I can’t get in touch with them even though it’s


    already passed midnight, so it’s quite possible that they were killed too. Are the female bodyguards


    working for Severin really that powerful? Not even Mehdi and his men are a match for them even


    though Severin was not around.”


    “Didn’t you say that warrior kings are all super strong? Why are they still no match for Severin’s


    bodyguards?” Lucy shook her head in disbelief and still could not believe what she heard.


    Severin had let her off the hook several times already, so there was no telling whether or not he would


    lose his patience on that asion and decide to kill them both.


    Cain pondered over the situation. “Don’t panic. If he doese looking for us, we’ll just tell him that we


    didn’t send those men. He killed the sher Gang’s men previously and incurred their wrath, which is


    why they sent another batch of men to kill him!”

    Lucy rolled her eyes at Cain and said, “Do you think Severin is an idiot? Why would he believe us?


    Based on his current status and strength in Brookbourn, he could easily kill us if he wanted to!”


    Cain frowned, knowing that that theck of evidence would never stop Severin from killing them as long


    as he suspected them of ying a part in this.


    “What should we do? How about we escape, Cain? Didn’t Edward leave Brookbourn too? As long as


    we leave Brookbourn and fly far away, then Severin won’t be able to find us! The money you have will


    allow us to livefortably too!” Lucy finally suggested to Cain after giving it some thought.


    Cain frowned when he heard that and smiled wryly at her. “Oh, Lucy. I’m a member of the sher


    Gang. and it won’t be that easy for me to escape. The circumstances surrounding Theo’s and Mehdi’s


    death are known by the higher-ups. Do you honestly think the sher Gang would let me off the hook


    if the two of us run away? If they know that Mehdi was killed, they would send a more powerful person


    to take revenge on Severin! All we have to do is wait!”


    Lucy, however, said, “I’m worried that Severin might kill us both before that powerful person seeds


    in killing him. Are you sure the sher Gang will hunt us down if we run away?”


    Cain nodded without hesitation. “They don’t know of your existence, but since Mehdi and Theo died in


    the process of avenging me, the gang wille for me and kill me if I just upped and left out of fear. I


    know their character too well. They have never and will never tolerate deserters! By running away, I’ll


    be a deserter in their eyes!”


    Lucy was speechless for a moment because the situation seemed to have passed the point of no


    return.
