Lazily Yours.

"This place has been off-limits since we came here. Please leave the place so we can continue our training." Hogan chimed in when he saw Lyca's frown. Shen Qui already told him how Lyca would prefer showing more than telling. She would be too lazy to talk and just end up resorting to violence to prove her point. 

Shen Qui promised him that this place will be off-limits all throughout the training so there shouldn't be any problems. This was also the reason why no one had been walking around this area since they started their training.

"Eh? Luis, did they just tell us to leave? I think they misheard you. I thought everyone in this area recognized your last name?" another man from the group said before laughing. "Seems like you're not as famous as you thought, huh."

"Shut up!" Luis hissed before he looked at Hogan. "I already told you! There will be no training today! I needed to use this place!"

"Mr. Tan, there must be a misunderstanding here, we already obtained the permission of your uncle to use this place," Hogan uttered. The Mayor of Ralia is a very close friend of Santa. So it would make sense for them to immediately get some permits in this area. 

"Hey Luis, this man just keeps on disrespecting you over and over. Should we just call your uncle?"

Luis narrowed his eyes at Hogan. For a few seconds, he wondered if the man was seriously trying to offend someone like him. Then he turned his attention to the cold white-haired beauty in front of him. "White hair… I have heard of people with white hair before." He changed the subject. Seeing Hogan's confidence about the permits, Luis thought that the man must have connections, making him not fear his uncle. 

Calling his uncle right now in front of his friends might embarrass him more. So he decided to check with his uncle via text before calling him in front of his friends. "You are from abroad, right?" he smiled. "I mean, people from abroad love to see shooting competitions, no? Why don't you— "

"No." Lyca suddenly said. "Busy. Please leave."

Frowning, Luis examined Lyca's face before he snorted. It's not like he hadn't seen beautiful women before. In this city, a lot of beautiful women would immediately agree to become his woman. Why would he want someone who clearly doesn't want him? Of course, the answer is pretty simple.

Ego.

Seeing Lyca not even spare him another glance after she introduced himself to hurt his pride. How could a mere woman treat him like that? "Let's go." He uttered. "Just don't blame me if one or two of your people will suddenly go missing."

Without waiting for Lyca to answer, he turned and left with his friends.

"Did that man really just threatened us?" Cleo couldn't help but ask. She just went out of her tent and the first thing she heard was some guy threatening them. She looked at Rue who quickly gave her a short summary of what happened. 

"Let him be," Lyca uttered. "Run, if his people will take you then you can only blame yourself for not being able to defend yourself or not running fast enough." She said as a peculiar glint flashed in her eyes. Seems like she could actually have some fun while she was here.

Soon enough, Lyca watched as everyone left with a total of forty kilograms of weights on their bodies.

"You wanted them to get kidnapped?" Rue asked her the moment she entered her tent.

"No. I didn't say that." Lyca smirked at her and ignored Rue's other questions. Right now, her priority is actually her sleep. Last night, Shen Qui had been acting like a brutal caveman, she didn't have enough rest. Lyca felt that she only had a few minutes of rest before Shen Qui told her that they were already leaving for Ralia to go to the camp. 

So, she immediately went to the lake when she arrived, trying to find some private place where she could sleep. That didn't turn out so well either.

Now, her only chance is sleeping in her tent.

"Don't disturb me. I am so exhausted, my body is about to burst." She said in a low voice as she closed her eyes and fell asleep.

Sadly for Lyca, Rue woke her up after three hours of sleeping to tell her that someone was indeed taken. It was a woman, one of the people that they were training. Before Rue could even finish her words, number fifteen, Gu Cheng suddenly went inside her tent. The action made both women frowned.

"Miss Xi! Miss Xi! Please… I beg you! Save Junqi! Please!" Gu Cheng, the brilliant man whose girlfriend was Yan Junqi or number twenty-three knelled in front of Lyca's bed before he kowtowed, his head hitting the ground with a thud. "Please Miss Xi! Save my woman!"

"Junqi was taken?" Lyca looked at Rue. She remembered that Gu Cheng or number fifteen along with her girlfriend won the first challenge along with number one, Ma Ping. Then on the second trial, they had some sort of a fight because Gu Cheng was being so sweet. Aishhh… too complicated! Lyca couldn't remember what happened back then. However, she knew that Yan Junqi was smart and strong. 

She seemed to be very different than other trainees too.

"She and another woman were taken. Number twenty-three and nine." Rue answered calmly. 'Number fifteen, you know that barging into Miss Xi's room was very inappropriate! Why did you— "

"Tell me the details." Lyca interrupted Rue. Just as she expected, Luis was indeed someone too stupid that would create some trouble for her. Well, it's not like, she wasn't expecting it. She intentionally provoked the person earlier so she could use him to train her people. 

Too bad, he was stupid enough not to see through her real plan.

Thank you so much for the support! Have a good day ahead!
