Lazily Yours.

"So, you were saying it wasn't harmless?" Lai Su stared at Lyca. "Why didn't you just kill everyone?"

Lyca's lips were set in a grim line, her eyes were on the microscope in front of her. While her hand was busily scrambling something on the table next to her. "I am not a mass murderer."

"You do know that your bullet killed a lot of people, right?"

"What does it have to do with me?" she asked and finally turned her eyes towards the older man sitting next to her. "If I give you a knife and you use it to stab someone. Am I considered the criminal for giving you the knife?"

Lai Su turned silent for a few seconds. "So, the one that you sent them… what was that for?"

Lyca shrugged. "Nothing. It's harmless to humans. Just to make them panic and create some trouble."

The man pursed his lips, he knew something else was going on. Something that he wasn't aware of.

He remembered Lyca saying that she will make them pay and he was expecting to see some action, maybe even some concentrated chemicals that would turn people into a puddle of blood. "So you only wanted them to panic?" So, it was like a prank?

Lyca shrugged and turn her attention to the microscope before she stood. "I have some times to attend to. Just follow everything that I said and were good."

"Oh. About that bullet that you wanted to make… are sure this is not illegal?"

That got Lyca's attention. However, instead of answering him, Lyca only smiled and leave the room.

"What was that supposed to mean?" He mumbled inwardly.

….

After leaving the lab, Lyca drove towards the Q Security Company— the company that Shen Qui had started. Of course, it is still far from the status of the previous Huang Security, but that was about to change.

Right now, Q Security Company was not known. It was located in a two-story building and had only about fifty personnel, all working investigations, acting as private investigators instead of accepting security details. When Lyca first heard about this, She couldn't help but laugh at Shen Qui. However, Lyca soon understood that the reason why they weren't able to get any security gigs was not only because they aren't certified by the government but it was also because… no one knows them!

Lyca couldn't help but sigh as she looked at the two-story building next to the park where Shen Qui and her jogged before. She could see some people sitting near the entrance of the building, each of them had a bored expression on their faces. The blue and shirt uniform with a QSC Logo hung against their body. After letting out another sigh, Lyca approached one of them. "Is this the QSC?" She asked.

"Hmmm. Do you need anything?" The man looked at her, after seeing that it was just a young woman, he went back to his phone. "We accept investigations, we can investigate your boyfriend for you and— " the man started talking about fees and the kind of evidence that they can provide for her.

"I am here to see your boss?"

Again, the man paused and looked at her. "What for?" he asked. "You can just tell us what you wanted to do and…." Again, he started talking about the services that they could give. Lyca only shook her head inwardly. Now, she understood everyone's reaction when she was too eager to join the competition.

Lyca had been too focused on counting orgasm that she hasn't really examined the company closely. A wry smile escaped her lips. It seems that this is more challenging than she thought?

"Do you know who your boss is?"

That question shut the man up.

"Of course we do… It's Boss Q. But currently the one taking— "

"What is going on here?" Another man approached them. He looked older than the one Lyca had been talking to, bulkier and taller. A large scar on the man's neck immediately caught Lyca's attention.

"Are you the one in charge here?" Lyca said, she didn't miss the man's alert eyes, immediately staring at her waist as if silently checking out if she had a weapon on her.

"Yes, I am called Hogan. You are?" Surprisingly, the man held his hand in front of Lyca. Accepting his hand, Lyca nodded and answered.

"Xi."

As expected, surprised flashed in the man's eyes. "Are you that Xi?"

"Boss… who is she?"

Hogan turned towards the man as he let go of Lyca's hands. "Assemble everyone out here." Then his attention turned towards Lyca. "Please follow me inside, Boss Q already told me about you."

Lyca only nodded, her eyes easily determined that the man might look strong but he seemed to be wounded, making him walk a little slower than the other. Perhaps a veteran? To avoid having biases, Lyca actually didn't examine the files that Cleo sent her about each person in this company.

Of course, this was also because she was too lazy to do so. 

The man led her towards the second floor of the building. "This way please…" the man took a seat and motioned her to sit across him. " The boss told me about the team joining the competition?" The man's direct question made Lyca smile.

Lyca would always prefer someone direct as it would save her more time. Before Lyca could answer, the man already added. "Now… let me be honest with you. Aside from me and two other people, no one else knows military tactics here. The younger ones that we have were people that the boss saved from the streets, some of them just turned 18 while some were about twenty-three. All young people who haven't had any training aside from fighting in the streets. Of course, because of the Boss' efforts, each of them was already trying to learn martial arts and the basics of gun handling. They are not the best, but they could defend themselves."

The man's bluntness didn't surprise her. Shen Qui must have chosen this man to become her assistant because of his no-nonsense personality. "What is your point?" Lyca asked.

"Simple… we are not ready for any competition, and no amount of money and investments could alter this fact." The man's face was serious as he stared at Lyca.
