Two Months Later.
Austria.
"Isn’t that a bargain?" Lily raised an eyebrow at the five people in front of her. "I will give you everything that I found out in Kuznetsov’s lair. You will then make sure that I and the generations after me will be safe. We will forget each other’s existence." Right now, her priority is, of course, her safety.
The world is vast; the future is long. Lily wasn’t sure if she and Zhou Jingren would forever have the strength to defend themselves. With the number of enemies that they gained after Kuznetsov’s death, Lily could only make use of the Order’s existence to help her against the Russians.
"I understand." The frown in Mr. Naru’s face deepened. "You said that they wanted to make super soldiers? Did they complete the research?"
"No. At least not yet. I believe the files that I gave you is beneficial to this research."
"We can’t allow them to succeed." Just like everyone inside the room, Mr. Neeson thinks that this research is indeed very dangerous.
"I have all the locations of the experimental laboratories around the world." Lily said.
"Are you certain?"
"Hmmm. My people have already checked it, and I’m quite positive that they are still there. They didn’t know that I was able to get all the files before the research lab was destroyed."
"Then? What can we do?" Mr. Neeson looked at the others. "What do you think?"
"If you only wanted protection and peace... we can give that to you. However, you know that we value secrecy. Once we know that you told people about our existence, this deal is going to be void and we... will exterminate you."
"I understand." Lily smiled.
"Well then... what are we waiting for? Let’s finalise everything! I wanted to get ahold of this information as fast as I can. This could potentially change the world." Mr. Neeson said. Of course, Lily nodded, and the people inside the room immediately talked about the specifics of the deal.
At this time, Lily was not aware of the effects of giving them those files. All she thought about was the thing that she would gain after this transaction. After all, she was a very selfish person. With her family, Lily’s priority was to live a peaceful life. She could care less if people will see her as the villain who ruined the future of humanity or the person who could have stopped these people from changing the world.
All she wanted was for her to live the rest of her life in peace.
Silence filled the room the moment Lily left.
"Are we really going to give her what she wanted?" Harringfort, the person who replaced Kuznetsov asked. "I thought everyone wanted her to work for us?"
"We needed the file. We cannot allow Russia to succeed in these experiments." Mr. Naru said. "Since she assured us that our existence would be kept a secret, I believe we can give her the peace that she wanted. Having someone else fill the vacant position of her grandmother should not be a problem."
"I agree. The weight of the research material was more than enough. We should be thinking about the research now." Mr. Mu said. After what happened in Russia, everyone saw how capable Lily and Zhou Jingren is. They had cleaned the area without the Russian government knowing anything that transpired in that place. Their forces were vast; their intelligence is top-notch. This only meant that Lily and Zhou Jingren ha the capability to face them. Moreover, even they are not that confident that they could stand up against Lily. Not after Zhou Jingren told them about the bombs that he installed in their mines and secret bases. However, the two wanted to have a cease-fire and live away from the Order.
This would not only save them the money in declaring war against Lily but also would save a lot of resources and manpower that they could use to hunt Kuznetsov’s accomplices.
"I have no problem with Lily’s proposal." Mr. Neeson said. "All I wanted is for Zhou Jingren to remove all the bombs that he secretly put in our diamond mines." The thought of Zhou Jingren using Bei Tian’s face to fool them is indeed irritating. However, the man’s words about their diamond mines are far more critical than his initial irritation. "That man threatened us to agree to Lily’s term. Or he will target our families and the primary source of our income. Everyone here is aware that we cannot afford that. Not when the Russian’s are acting like this."
"I agree with Lord Neeson." Mr. Naru said. They were not sure if Lily and Zhou Jingren is intentionally playing both the good cop and bad cop. And to be honest, dealing with them is quite tiresome. "We should let them be and avoid conflict. I have a bad premonition about this research. We need to focus on these people and their effects on the world."
"Does everyone agree?" Mr. Neeson said. Everyone then gave their nods of approval. It’s not like they have a choice in this matter. In choosing between Zhou Jingren’s threats and the destruction of the laboratories doing those experiments, everyone in the room would always choose the latter.
"Done?" Zhou Jingren was leaning against his car, wearing a black leather jacket, together with a black shirt and pants. His dark, sleek hair complimented the smirk apparent on his face.
Lily snorted in response. She nodded and stood in front of him. "They agreed."
"I was not expecting that." He pulled her towards him.
"Liar." Rolling her eyes, Lily lifted her head, her scarlet lips morphed into a cute pout. "You owe me a kiss."
He laughed, his sparkling eyes turned into two beautiful crescents. Without saying anything, he lowered his head and captured her lips. The kiss was soft and gentle, but it was quick— too quick.
"Why did you stop?"
"Our nanny called." Zhou Jingren smiled. "Kaen won’t drink milk. He wanted his mommy."
Lily immediately smiled. "That’s because Bei Tian is not a very kind nanny." She laughed.
"I thought he was the best nanny in the world?" He raised an eyebrow and opened the door of the car for her.
"That was a lie." Lily giggled. Zhou Jingren went towards the driver’s seat and started the engine. Zhou Jingren’s next words made her laugh. "You are the best nanny in the world."
