The house live up to its name once again . Although there was nothing wrong with the tranquility, as the two preferred it that way, but Death's exuberance was really refres.h.i.+ng and endearing .

It's a shame he didn't join them for breakfast . Who knew he could cause such an impact to their lives .

Lillie was about to take a bite of her breakfast when something alarmed her mind . The rather loud clanking of her cutlery hitting the plate caught Ethan's attention immediately .

"What's wrong?" He asked, puzzled why she would put down her cutlery when she barely touches her food .

"Is it the food?" But his wife did not replied, just starring at nothing in particular .

"Lillie?" He tried to call her again .

Blinking, Lillie pivoted her head at his direction as his calls were finally heard . "You need to train . "

Ethan looked at her in confusion, waiting for her to elucidate .

"The remaining days before we visit Grandmaster Wei, I'm going to train you . " There was not even the slightest hint of humor when she said this . Lillie was dead serious that it caused Ethan to be concerned .

"Why?" He's not going to war, is he?

"There's a high possibility that master will ask you to have a spar with him . " She gravely said .

"He's not going to kill me . . . right?"

" . . . "

Her silence really worried him .

"Right?"

" . . . I'm not sure . "

"Then, I'll be in your care . " Ethan did not hesitated to accept her gracious offer .

His wife will help him survive her master's beatings, that's how much she loves him .

If he will meet the master who had produced someone like Lillie and Death, he will not reject the offer of learning how to survive from his "spar" .

Lillie and Death's master, the person who produced literal demons .

If he's not the ultimate demon lord, Ethan don't know who else he could be .

"Senior brother and I secretly calls him Leonidas [1] . "

Hm, a fitting name .

Situated on the topmost floor of White Phoenix Empire, was the president's office, and the target destination of Lillie Bai .

"The president is unoccupied, CEO Bai," Her father's secretary opened the door for her . "You may come in . "

Lillie thanked the secretary before entering .

"Little flower," Alexander Bai stopped scribbling on his paperworks, and greeted his daughter with a wide smile . "Why are you looking for me?"

"Dad, I'll be leaving to visit Grandmaster Wei for a few days . Elliot will take in-charge as acting CEO in my absence . " She said, straight to the point .

The fountain pen in Mr . Bai's hand almost dropped . "E-eh? Why so suddenly?"

"It's long overdue . Master is getting quite upset with me . " She sighed .

Mr . Bai rubbed his chin . At a time like this, his daughter's presence as CEO is demanded in the company . However, he also believe that Elliot can put on the mantle .

"What about your uncle and cousin's welcoming party?"

"I'll attend before we leave, don't worry . "

"We?" Mr . Bai repeated .

"I plan to take Ethan with me . "

Mr . Bai frowned . "Lillie, ah, this . . . wouldn't this trouble Hong Long as well? Without their CEO . . . "

"Ethan said he'll take care of it . "

"I know he can . " Mr . Bai sighed and pinched his nose .

"Lillie, you know I understand how Grandmaster Wei is as much as you do . . . I grew up with him beating me to a pulp instead of your grandfather . " He chuckled half-heartedly, s.h.i.+vering at the memory . "I'm not against you asking for a leave to pay him a visit, and I know Elliot can handle the job, but . . . "

"There's a high chance that Grandmaster Wei might kill him, you know . " He said, highlighting the word "might" .

"Dad, please don't curse him before we even get married . " Lillie deadpanned .

"I'm speaking the truth!" He spluttered .

Mr . Bai did not told her about the phone conversation he had with Grandmaster Wei recently .

He can literally hear the thunder and venom in the master's voice when he found out Lillie was engaged . Worst of all, he found out in the radio!

Grandmaster Wei treats both of his disciples as his own, and he's really protective of them—yes, he's protective to Death too .

"I've already taken precaution . " Lillie rea.s.sured . "He'll be fine . "

"Hmm . . . if that's the case, then alright . " Mr . Bai complied with his daughter's request .

It might actually be a good thing for Lillie to pay a visit to the master again . Also, maybe he can ask Lillie to bring home some of Grandmaster Wei's hand-brewed plum wine .

"Before you leave, just be sure to finish as much work as possible . " He gently reminded .

Lillie nodded, "Of course . Thank you, dad . "

Mr . Bai coughed, suddenly feeling bashful .

"Sure, sure . " He waved his hand to hide his blush . "Is that all you wanted to say?"

"Yes . I'll be excusing myself then . "

Lillie bobbed her head before withdrawing .

Mr . Bai sunk into his chair and sighed when the door closed as she left . He rubbed his tired eyes and pick up his pen .

Wait . . .

Mr . Bai's previous words processed in his mind .

Why is he getting worried for that punk's safety? Let him get a taste of the master's not-so-gentle fists!

"Aiyo, I need a drink . "
