Only a fool would believe that they could waltz in and leave unscathed after provoking Lillie Bai .

When Ethan removed his mask and came back to the company, he was given a confused and concerned look from Ming Lian .

Why?

Well, he does not have time to cover the eye-catchy bruise from the side of his lips .

Ethan felt terribly wronged .

Before parting to continue their work at the company, he gave her Ai's flash drive so that she could connect her to the company's network operating system .

Because of this, Ai became Lillie's spy to her own employees . She would give her reports if there are any suspicious actions committed . Like sending confidential information to outsiders, shady transactions from the company's bank accounts and hacking through the company's main frame .

Looking out for rogue employees was already implemented . It was made easier and faster because of Ai .

'Knock knock'

Replying a brief "come in", the door opened and Elliot entered . "Boss, we received intel about She Gu's movements . He's attending a black market to a bidding event for the Black Egg . " He reported .

"Which one?"

"Netherworld Hotel . " The pen on Lillie's hand stopped moving and her eyes left the unsigned paperworks to focus her attention to the matter being discussed .

To the people of the Underworld, the name Netherworld Hotel was a very obvious name . This is where the demons' [1] circle come to enjoy themselves and also to attend the hotel's underground black market . A typical place for any shady transactions and illegal bidding events .

Netherworld Hotel had the Reapers' backing that is why no one dare cause trouble to them . White Bird was their biggest patron as she provides them the Black Egg but, no one but the Reapers knew that .

"If my memory serves me correct, I have a business meeting at Netherworld Hotel this week . "

"Indeed, miss . A dinner meeting, to be precise, with Weis.h.i.+ Corporation's CEO, Mr . Wei Fang . " Warning bells suddenly rang from Lillie's mind as dread crept in her stomach .

Him again? Fate seems to always torment her with her past . The last time she saw him was that night at Sapphire Blues by the yacht where Ethan confessed his undying love to her .

Just by his presence that night, Lillie thought the mood would be destroyed . But, she would never expect that the knight that saved her from a minor distress was her mysterious high school suitor, Ethan Li .

Fortunately, that idiot (Wei Fang) did not recognized her . If he did, he would surely react violently—she a.s.sume .

Her unresponsive state made Elliot wonder what caused her mind fly elsewhere . Snapping her out of her revery he asked, "Is there a problem, miss?"

She tapped the pen on her desk . "Perhaps there is a small predicament between our business with Mr . Wei and our little heist at the Black Market . " She contemplated .

"Should I cancel the meeting with Mr . Wei instead?" Elliot offered a suggestion .

"No . We need the Weis.h.i.+ Corporation to sign a contract with WPE for a temporary business partners.h.i.+p . " Lillie scolded herself for not being attentive . She must have been too busy that she did not found out that Weis.h.i.+ Corporation belongs to Wei Fang's family .

You also can't blame her because she severed contract with him long ago . She hadn't seen nor heard of him for years . Not until that night .

"But, the bidding starts around eight o'clock in the evening and so does the dinner meeting . " He reminded .

Lillie sighed, rubbing her temple . "Coincidence? I dare say not . " Elliot chuckled lightly at Lillie's rare grumbling .

'She can be childish sometimes . ' He thought .
