Lazily Yours.

"Can you please! Please! Don't do that again!? You almost gave me a heart attack! Do you really want to see me dead? Lyca… I couldn't… how could you fight him like that? I just— Ahhh! I think would go crazy! I will definitely go crazy! Do you even know how scared I was? Lyca! I am a woman in my late twenties! I serve in the military, and I have never been this scared in my life before! Do you know how it felt watching you two killing each other? I was so scared!" Tang Ruyi glared at Lyca. "Can you just— Don't give me that look! Don't you dare pity me!"

"I think… your emotions are valid considering he really a big brother to us." Lyca sighed. "I'm sorry." She said in a low voice.

"Stop lying! You aren't sorry! You already plan this, didn't you? You wanted him to escort you and not me!?"

"I am innocent."

"Stop lying to me!" Tang Ruyi sat on the edge of her king size bed where Lyca was languidly lying like he owned the bed.

"I am not lying. This was an impromptu decision." Lyca uttered. "If you tour me around, they will suspect I am Lyca because they knew we were close."

"You can really talk long sentences now." Tang Ruyi said in a low voice. "I miss a lot of stuff. I feel like a mother who didn't see her child grow."

Lyca snorted in response.

"And what was that earlier? Marriage? I mean…" she suddenly screamed her hearts out, making Lyca jumped out of the bed. "YOU ARE ALREADY MARRIED, AND I AM NOT EVEN A BRIDESMAID!"

Lyca blinked. Then she blinked again. So… it seems that her cousin is more irritated that she wasn't the maid of honor or bridesmaid? "Alright… calm down…" Lyca gave a wry smile. She couldn't really remember if she had promised to become each other's maid of honor before. "Why don't I tell you… why I got married?" Of course, this was enough to calm her cousin down. After all, this was fresh gossip from Lyca itself. After a few minutes of questions and more questions and screaming and yelling, Tang Ruyi finally stopped talking. Of course, this wasn't because she was already exhausted from asking too many personal questions.

It was because she received a call from a friend.

"That was quick." Lyca stood and fixed her clothes. Fortunately for her, Tang Jingyi is no longer here. After that confrontation earlier, the man agreed to accompany her before leaving in a huff.

"Did you do something?"

"I sent them pig's blood."

"…" Tang Ruyi looked at her with suspicion. "There was an explosion." She stated.

"Yeah. They must have triggered something." Lyca shrugged. "The Pig's blood was a prank."

"Nah… you don't do pranks. Tell me what did you do? The authorities are getting involved you know."

"I already told you. I sent them pig's blood."

"With?" Of course, Tang Ruyi would never believe such a thing.

"Well… if they push an emergency button and trigger a lockdown on the whole mansion… "

"Talk faster!" Tang Ruyi uttered. This was getting exciting! How could Lyca talk like an old woman?

"A particular gas will create a small spark once they use it to check the blood. They must have checked it."

"A small spark?" Tang Ruyi lifted an eyebrow before sighing. "Never mind… I needed to leave and go back to the base. They reported it as possible terrorism, so we are on high alert. I am not even sure if they will also call Jingyi. He is, after all, considered a high official."

Lyca frowned. "The only reason why it would produce such a big explosion is if they tried to use a fire extinguisher to put out the fire." Then a mischievous smile slithered on her face. An experienced person who does not know how to deal with chemicals would definitely use a fire extinguisher to extinguish a small fire.

"You— " Tang Ruyi stared at Lyca in disbelief.

"This was akin to having a fire while cooking. If the fire was caused by the oil and you put water on it, in an attempt to extinguish the fire, it would only make it bigger." Lyca explained. "The oil will spread, meaning the fire would spread too. If you panic, it would be better to just throw the pot or frying pan outside."

"That wasn't just a small fire…" Tang Ruyi sighed. Of course, this was Lyca. Would she really prefer a small spark to announce her return? "There was an explosion."

"Did someone from the Zhang Family died?"

"I don't have any news yet." Tang Ruyi went to her closet and changed her clothes in a few seconds. "I will go to the base and wait for orders. I will give you an update. We might give some security to the convention tomorrow, so I will still see you around."

"Hmmm." Lyca nodded as she thought of Huang Ying's reaction once she knew that there was an explosion in her mansion. Would she tremble in fear? Or screamed in anger? She couldn't help but wonder if she would panic. Would she show herself at the convention tomorrow?

Lyca heard that the Long Family would be there too. The news that there will be a new bullet from a start-up company should have reached their ears by now. And this was what Lyca wanted. This explosion was designed to make them think that Lyca would try and target the convention.

They wouldn't think that she would be brave enough to come and join the convention on their turf. So, they would raise their guard up and would immediately offer Lyca a price to buy her research after the convention. They would want to buy her bullet. After all, it was too similar to Lyca's and it was too important for them.

At that time, Lyca would act helpless and would agree to their terms. Then she would give them the bullet at an extravagant price. Unbeknownst to them, everything that Lyca would make in the future would be to contend with the bullet.

What would happen if the market would get use to the new bullet only to discover a suit that would completely protect them from such weapon?
