595 Oliver's Surprise
Emily and Lily were sitting around a table, worried looks on their faces. However, both were worried for different reasons.
"It would've been better if we had so way to infiltrate the Arasia family. That way, we could've avoided him for a little longer." Emily muttered.
Lily felt her heart warming. In the Garfield family, although no one treated her too coldly, they weren't very friendly to her either. Now, however, seeing Emily care for her, she felt happy.
This was also the reason why she was so worried. She wasn't worried even if she died, but she didn't want her young master, or Emily to be hard while they tried to save her. It was unacceptable for her. But she knew they wouldn't listen to her, and would even get angry if she told them to leave her alone.
Seeing Lily lost in her thoughts, Emily placed a hand on her shoulder, "Do not think too much. Believe in Max. Since he has said he can save you, he definitely can."
"Lady Em–"
"Call Sister or Sister Emily." Emily interrupted Lily.
Lily nodded, "S-sister Emily, I'm not worried whether the young master can save , I just… don't want you guys to be hard because of–"
"Just shut up if you don't have anything good to say." Emily coldly interjected.
Lily flinched when she heard her angry voice, and ekly lowered her head.
Emily looked at her and continued coldly, "Do you think only you have the right to care for our safety and wellbeing, and Max and I don't? Don't forget, you are no longer just a maid, you are now Max's woman, and thereby a mber of my Garfield family."
Tears appeared in Lily's eyes. She felt happy being acknowledged by her.
Emily then shifted her gaze to the tavern's entrance, as she continued in a chilling tone, "If so bastard wants to harm a mber of my family, I'll do anything it takes to take his head. No one–when I say one one, I an No One, it doesn't matter who they are–who dares to harm my family, deserves to live any longer."
If Lily had been looking at her, she would've noticed that Emily's pupils had turned golden for a brief mont.
Whoosh!
Suddenly, Lily's heart skipped a beat, and she shot to her feat.
"What is it?" Emily asked.
"We need to run!" Lily didn't explain. She just grabbed Emily's hand and dashed out of the tavern from the backgate, which they had already secured after beating Old Boar.
Swoosh!
Not long after they left, Oliver appeared in the sky not too far from the tavern. After looking around, he couldn't help but frown. The area was too big and his Blood Sense talisman couldn't accurately determine her location. Since Lily was already aware of her presence, she would definitely not stay in one location for long. aning he had to continuously use the blood sense talismans, but the problem was, he only had three more drops of her blood left.
Suddenly, he grinned, "This is getting more and more interesting. Still, I would have to punish you for making run around for so long."
After that, he used another Blood sense talisman.
…
Whoosh! Whoosh!
Half an hour later, Emily and Lily could be seen running through a resident area in the mid part of the city.
Both were perspiring sweat, and their delicate brows were furrowed tightly. Just a while ago, they had seen Oliver looking for them. Fortunately, they had used a concealnt talisman in ti, or he would've found them.
Still, even though they managed to escape, Lily could feel they would be found sooner rather than later.
Oliver, on the other hand, was leisurely hovering in the sky, watching them flee. He had already found them a while ago, but didn't imdiately capture her because he wanted to enjoy the look of desperation on Lily's face a bit more. That was why he acted as though he hadn't noticed them and went away. He then used a Grade five Concealnt Talisman, and started following them.
Looking at Lily's and Emily's back views, he licked his lips and muttered, "My lovely Lily, she found one more beauty to enjoy. How nice of her!"
After half an hour of continuous running, even mages like Emily and Lily were starting to feel exhausted, and thirsty. Wanting to rest a little, and drink so water, Emily took her to a small restaurant.
Swoosh!
Just when they sat down, soone appeared in front of them and asked, "Exhausted? Need sothing to eat or drink?"
Emily was about to say yes when she noticed the figure wasn't a waiter, but Oliver. She imdiately shot to her feet, released her aura and went into her fight mode. Lily, on the other hand, stayed put. Letting out a helpless sigh, she looked at him and asked, "You had already found us?"
Oliver grinned, "Of course. You didn't really think your low grade concealnt talisman could help you hide from my senses, did you?"
Emily frowned. "Why are you wasting ti talking to him, let's just fi–"
Before she could finish, Lily interrupted her, "It's alright, sister Emily."
Emily narrowed her eyes, "What do you an?"
Lily didn't answer, and just sighed. Right now, she wasn't thinking how she should fight or escape, but how to save her. She knew Oliver wouldn't leave her alone, aning she was in danger too.
Just when this thought crossed her mind, Oliver turned his gaze to Emily and looked her up and down, "You aren't too far from her in terms of appearance, not bad. Furthermore, unlike her made up cold personality, yours is natural. I like it."
"I don't need you to like anything." Emily coldly said. Despite the obvious disparity between their strength, she wasn't afraid at all.
Oliver grinned, and suddenly moved. Lily's expression changed. She wanted to intercept him, but he was too fast, and the distance between them was too little.
Swoosh!
However, to both her and Oliver's surprise, Emily managed to react on ti, and took a step back, dodging Oliver's hand going for her neck.
"Hm?" Oliver paused briefly due to his surprise, but then his expression beca even more playful, and he moved again.
Swoosh!
Emily tried to dodge again, but this ti, he was faster. However, just when he was about to grab her neck, Lily appeared beside her. Her hand glowed white as she slapped toward his hand.
Oliver's eyes flashed when he saw this. Before their hands could collide, he pulled it back and retreated back to the place he was standing at before.
"So, it's true. You indeed have a special bloodline. No wonder I'm so attracted to you." He said, staring at Lily with a greedy and lustful glint in his eyes.
Lily raised her brows in confusion. "What special bloodline?"
"You don't know?" Oliver was surprised. He then grinned, "Ah, aunt Rose, your master is really kind. No wonder father said she isn't made for big things."
"Don't you dare disrespect my master?" Lily said as, for the first ti since she saw him, a killing intent appeared in the depths of her eyes.
"Tsk! I'm not disrespecting her, I'm just stating facts." Oliver's smile only widened when he noticed her killing intent. He then asked, "Don't you want to know what special bloodline you have and why your master hasn't told you anything about it?"
Without hesitation, Lily shook her head, "No. Since my master hasn't told , she must have a reason. When the ti cos, she'll tell ."
"Haha, when the ti cos you say…" Oliver chuckled and sat down, "Yeah, wait for that ti and let your master suffer for you."
Hearing this, Lily frowned, "What do you an?"
Oliver laughed inwardly. It seed he didn't have to use force to make her submit. How wonderful! He thought.
"Unlike other bloodlines, yours is a special one. It should have gone extinct by now. So, I'm surprised to see this. Now, I understand why your master didn't let you out much, let alone let you fight. She wanted to conceal your bloodline."
Oliver shook his head, "But she is foolish. She thought people wouldn't notice it, but many had already beco suspicious and managed to guess sothing when she started buying those pure Ice and Fire Elental natural treasures not long returning with you. She needed to–"
Lily coldly interrupted him, "Don't beat around the bush! Tell how my master would suffer for ?"
Oliver thought for a mont before saying, "Just as I said, your bloodline is of a special kind. It is a dual elental Ice and Fire bloodline, and incomparably pure one at that."
"This type of two opposite nature bloodline is very rare, and powerful. At the sa ti, it is extrely dangerous bloodline. Despite how strong it is, no normal person would hope to have this type of bloodline because those who have it... are destined to live a short life."
