Lily appeared to be holding Brian's arm, but her gaze secretly glanced at Duke beside them. On the other hand, Duke couldn't help but get goosebumps when he accidentally made eye contact with Lily. It didn't feel good to be stared at while not wearing a shirt. He then looked at David and said, "About that..."
Before he could finish his sentence, David sat on a nearby chair and asked Brian, "When you came out, didn't you say anything to your girlfriend?" David intentionally emphasized the words "your girlfriend" to remind Lily that she was Brian's girlfriend.
As expected, when Lily heard these words, her face immediately darkened. She instinctively lowered her head and hurriedly explained, "Oh... I remembered now. Brian did tell me before, I just forgot..." Her words made Brian swallow the words that were on the tip of his tongue.
"Is that so?" David looked at Brian, whose expression had changed, and nodded. At that moment, the atmosphere in the room froze for a moment. David spoke first, "Well... Since back, you take your girlfriend and rest."
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtLily looked up at David and hurriedly said, "David, I have something I want to ask you." As she spoke, she started walking forward. And as she walked, she purposely leaned towards Duke's position, with impure intentions.
David stood up, and just as Lily pretended to twist her ankle, he positioned himself directly in front of Duke. Lily glanced over and quickly straightened up. She twisted her foot forcefully, feeling a sharp pain in her ankle.
Lily cried out in pain and fell to the ground. "Ouch!" Lily lay on the ground, frowning as she touched her ankle.
"Lily, are you okay?" Brian quickly approached and helped her up. David exchanged a glance with Arnold, and Arnold went to the door, cautiously looking outside through the crack.
"Shh." Arnold raised his index finger to his lips. The people in the room saw Arnold's gesture and closed their mouths, quieting down. Through the peephole, he saw zombies gathering outside. Although most zombies had poor eyesight, their hearing was extremely sensitive.
"Groan, groan..." The zombies wandered aimlessly, occasionally twisting their heads. When they looked in this direction, Arnold quickly crouched down to prevent the zombies from seeing his eyes through the peephole.
Lily covered her ankle, cold sweat slowly trickling down her forehead. She looked up and glanced at David, unable to help but snort. Just because of that snort, the silence that was about to prevail outside the room disappeared.
The next moment, a sudden noise erupted. Bang! Arnold's back hit the door, and with the sound, he felt a push from behind. Something was pounding on the door from the outside! Bang! Three consecutive knocks on the door made everyone inside the room nervous.
David remained calm, sitting in the chair, his gaze constantly observing Lily's facial expression. When Lily looked at him, he found it amusing how her face alternated between blushing and darkening. This girl was still very young. The outside of the door quieted down, and Arnold relaxed the tension he was bearing against the door. However, he didn't leave the door. He continued to lean against it, afraid that the zombies might surprise them. If the zombies invaded the room, it would be rendered useless.
Lily looked at Arnold leaning against the door, hesitated for a moment, and her eyes flickered. Just as she was about to say something, David's hand moved slightly and whoosh, a spatial blade firmly pressed against her throat.
Gurgle. Lily looked at her throat, nervously swallowed a mouthful of saliva. She turned her head and met David's gaze. David supported his chin with one hand and held the spatial blade with the other.
If Lily dared to make any more noise at this moment, David would not hesitate to eliminate her! Lily lay in Brian's arms, and he lowered his gaze to see David's spatial blade. Lily's hand tightly tugged at Brian's clothes. Brian looked on calmly, without any reaction.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmDamn it! Lily clenched her teeth tightly, and in an instant, she openly showed her anger in front of David. Outside the room, a zombie leaned against the door, its head conveniently avoiding the peephole. It sniffed in confusion, then raised its hand and tapped the door in front of it. When there was no response, it stood up and left.
At night, Brian and Lily had just returned to their room when Lily raised her resentful gaze and stared at Brian. "What's wrong?" Brian asked.
"Why didn't you help me when you just stood there?" Lily's words carried a hint of anger. She didn't expect David to hold the spatial blade against her in front of Brian. In that moment, she felt the proximity of death. What made her even angrier was that Brian didn't say a word throughout the whole incident. He just stood there, letting David manipulate him. If this got out, how could she, Lily, face others?
Looking at Lily's anger, Brian smiled faintly, reached out and rubbed her head, and explained softly, "If both of us were exposed, we wouldn't gain any advantage in front of David, no matter what. In that case, forget about resources, even our lives would be in danger. I was trying to create an illusion for David, to make him relax his guard against me. This way, I can always find an opportunity."
Listening to Brian's explanation, Lily fell silent for a moment, then nodded. She admitted that Brian's words made sense. If they both revealed their true identities in front of David, it was highly likely that they would be completely wiped out. They had been undercover until today, and they had to ensure that at least one person could continue the mission.
"That David is so despicable!" Lily paused and rubbed her arm, speaking fiercely.
Brian smiled again. "David may be arrogant, but soon those arrogance will be ours."
Now that he knew David suspected them both, Brian wasn't worried. He knew he still had an ace up his sleeve, and that was Sally.
Lily was well aware of David and Sally's relationship, even though Sally was a level three lightning-based esper. As long as she used some strategies, she could easily manipulate Sally.
Deception was an essential tactic in Brian's mind, and he had plenty of tricks up his sleeve. Unfortunately, he hadn't used them in the right place. But before using that strategy again, Brian planned to present David with a new game.
