Chapter 886 Lord Mu



Once the key card successfully opened the door, Mu Shun walked inside his suite without waiting for his assistant to check it. This has been a tiring night for him. Just watching Lily\'s crazed eyes during the press conference was truly disturbing him and the other council members. With Zhou Jingren dead, he and the others fear that Lily will turn crazy and retaliate.

They could not allow that to happen.

In front of the least favorable condition, the others already agreed to take care of Lily. However, that is almost impossible. The Order needed the files that Lilian passed to Lily. At least they could not kill her before she gave them those files. The old man closed the door behind him after he instructed his guards not to disturb his sleep. He had already given them his phone as he does not want to be disturbed tonight. All the old man wanted was to have a peaceful sleep— If he can.

However, this wish immediately vanished when he saw a woman sitting at one of the velvet chairs next to the king-size bed in the room. He stilled for a few seconds before he continued walking towards the other seat. "I was expecting to see you soon. But I wasn\'t expecting that you will come to me first." His voice was rough as always; his English accent was enough to tell Lily his nationality. He took a seat opposite her.

Silence filled the room.

"Why are you here?" the old man asked calmly. Not a tinge of emotion can be seen in the old man\'s wrinkled face.

"Old Mu." Lily uttered as she smiled. "Or, shall I call you Lord Mu?" She raised an eyebrow.

"Call me whatever you want."

"You are originally the patriarch of the Mu Family, and yet you let me destroy your granddaughters." Lily remembered how she had an altercation with the Mu Family before. However, she never heard anything from this old man. This old man is the patriarch or the hidden leader of the Mu and Mo family in China. As someone powerful, why let his granddaughters suffer in Lily\'s hand? "Was it because… I am Lilian\'s granddaughter?"

"Possibly."

Amusement flashed in Lily\'s eyes.

"Tell me… Lily… what is the point of saving the weak?" the old man stared at her for a few seconds before he continued. "The reason why they didn\'t win was that they were weak. Saving them would not benefit me in any way."

"You are right." Lily shrugged. "There is indeed no point in saving the weak."

The old man\'s lips thinned. Having the young Lily as an enemy would not be too good for him as Lily would surely take her time in researching about him and his businesses. If that happens, Lily would surely connect him to an organization. Old Man Mu does not want to create any unintentional drama with Lily. Of course, this is something that Lily would never know. "Why are you here?" he repeated his question.

"I know you needed something from me." Lily uttered. "What is it?"

"Why me?" the old man countered. "I am sure you have done enough research to know the other members of the order. Why did you approach me?"

Lily snorted. "Why not?"

The old man frowned, unimpressed at Lily\'s retort. He had been in this world long enough to know that Lily picked him because of a hidden reason. Was it because of his illegal activities? Was it because of the secrets that he has? As a person who had lived a life full of secrets and more secrets, it is only natural for the old man to be wary of Lily\'s reasons. "I will answer your question once you answer mine." He sternly said.

"Aside from the fact that you are the only one in Austria right now, do I need another reason to approach you?" Lily raised an eyebrow. The smile on her face was still sweet with a hint of danger. Old Man Mu… one of the oldest members of the order, was another member of the Order close to both Harringfort and Mr. Neeson.

And by close, Lily meant being close doing something against the laws, together.

"Lily… I have lived so long to know that you are not someone that makes her decision out of luck and opportunity. You are someone who uses logic and reasons." Of course, he was not convinced of Lily\'s reasons.

"You got me." A beautiful smile bloomed on Lily\'s face. "I choose you because of your illegal activities, hoping to blackmail you if you won\'t answer my questions."

"You— " Lily\'s blunt words surprised him."Would you dare?"

"Do you see me as a fool?" Lily sneered. "I told you the simple reasoning, and you refuse to believe me. And when I told you the reason that you expected me to say, you wouldn\'t believe me. Old man… tell me…. Did you survive in this world because of that attitude?"

The mockery in Lily\'s voice was so apparent, that the old man could not stop himself from fuming. "You, a junior, dare mock me. Good! Very Good! Lilian, you have raised someone worthy!" The old man said before he started laughing. Soon, the laughter of the old man blanketed the room. A series of coughs followed it. After a few seconds of laughing, the old man finally decided to bring his gaze back to Lily\'s smiling face."Tell me… was it because… I helped your mother when she ran away from your grandmother?"

"Is that what you think?" Lily disputed. "If so… then you can think that way."
