The CEO's Wife Is A Demon God's Daughter

~ At Leo's Villa ~

Mheera didn't return after leaving Leo's villa. The argument between Liam and Mheera escalated further as she refused to listen to Liam.

Now, the other guardian warriors didn't know when the two would reconcile. They also got worried since Liam declared that he was no longer part of the guardian warriors.

They hoped that he would still change his mind. They didn't want to lose a leader like him. But they couldn't deny the fact that they defied his order by following Mheera's plan.

They were still recuperating in the villa. Thanks to Liam's healing power, the guardian warriors were now recovering from their wounds.

Shiba's condition was now stable. Shino's broken bones were fully healed as well. The burnt skin of Calec had been restored to normal. Riyu's wound got better now. Among them, she's the only one who got a minor injury.

"Riyu, why don't you try talking to our guardian leader? Convince him not to leave us! We need him." Calec requested Riyu.

They were too embarrassed to face him. They felt like they didn't have the right to talk to him after what they had done. 

"Sigh. I don't know if he will listen to me. He even got mad at our head shaman. They are the ones who are very close to each other."

"But I will still try…" Riyu added.

Riyu left the room to find Liam. He was in his room, lost in his thoughts. She knocked on the door, waiting for Liam to let her in.

It did not take long when Liam had spoken behind the door, giving her a go signal to enter. Riyu entered the room, avoiding his gaze. She felt intimidated by his aura. He was indeed the strongest guardian warrior.

"Why are you here?" Liam asked her with his calm tone.

"I want to talk to you… about your decision." Riyu tried her best to be direct to the point.

"Can you reconsider your decision? We still need you, our guardian lord. You are our leader. Please don't leave us." Riyu kneeled before him while pleading.

"Rise. I don't want you to kneel. I am no longer your guardian leader. I am Liam now. There is no more threat to our world. The demon god and his daughter are trying to live a peaceful life in this world."

Liam paused for a moment. He held her shoulders, pulling her up to stand up.

"Just go back to our world. Don't create trouble here. There's no need to fight them. Just live happily in our world. You should go back with others…"

Riyu couldn't utter a single word. By just listening to Liam, she could tell that his decision was already final. No one could change his mind.

"I am warning you. If you try to hurt any of them… I swear I will be the one stopping you. I will not hesitate to fight you." Liam reminded them.

"I will help you open the portal. Once everyone feels better, I will send you back to our world. Do you understand?"

"Yes, guardian-- I mean Liam." Riyu could only sigh in defeat.

Riyu left his room, feeling disappointed. Liam was hell-bent to protect Zhen-Zhen and Zu Wan. They couldn't win against him. He was more powerful than them.

Riyu informed her comrades about Liam's decision.

"We are going back to our world with or without Mheera. Liam will send us back by opening the portal."

Calec, Shino, and Shiba were saddened after hearing that. Liam was not coming with them. They lost contact with Mheera as well. They didn't know where she was right now.

The last thing they remembered, Mheera already had a plan on how to attack the demon god's daughter.

"Did you inform Liam about Mheera's plan? She is planning to kill the demon god's daughter. Liam will get mad once he learns about this. The two might fight each other," Calec said worriedly.

"I didn't mention anything to Liam," Riyu admitted. "Should I tell him about it?"

Shino, Shiba, and Calec immediately shook their heads. "No! If we talk, it's like we are betraying Mheera!"

"But if we don't, it's like we are betraying Liam," Riyu also reasoned with them.

"But he is protecting the enemies," Shino insisted.

"He saved your lives, treating your wound. Can you bear to lie to him once again?" Riyu asked the boys.

"Let's just pretend we don't know. Besides, we are going back to our world. Let's just seal our lips!" Calec suggested.

Shiba was still hesitant. Riyu was right. Liam was the one who saved his life. Could he really hide this from him? He felt like he was being ungrateful.

"Sigh. Let's think it over one more time. Tomorrow, we will decide." Riyu said, urging them to take a rest.

Meanwhile, Liam was still worried about what Mheera would do against Zhen-Zhen and the demon god. If he wanted to protect them, Mheera was hell-bent to hurt them.

"What should I do? Should I warn Lillie? I think I can no longer hide my connection with the guardian warriors. Sooner or later, Lillie will know the truth."

Liam was worried that Zhen-Zhen would hate him once she learned his real identity. He was still hesitating to tell her everything.

But he must face his fear. This was the only way he could warn Zhen-Zhen. He had no idea what Mheera was plotting. He had a bad feeling about this.

After contemplating for several hours, Liam had decided to meet Zhen-Zhen tomorrow and inform her about Mheera and his real identity.

Liam walked toward his closet. He hid the wooden box inside where the divine dagger was being kept.

However, when he tried to pick it up, he noticed that the box was empty. The divine dagger was no longer there. 

"Mheera! She took the divine dagger! She will never stop until the demon god and his daughter will die in her hands," Liam's face darkened, gritting his teeth.

His concern for Zhen-Zhen's safety intensified. "This is not good. She got the weapon that can harm the demon god and his daughter. I must warn Lillie as soon as possible."

Without wasting any more time, Liam teleported to the Davis Family Mansion. Even though it was already nighttime, he still went to see Zhen-Zhen.

Tristan and Zhen-Zhen just got back when they saw Liam standing outside the mansion.

"What is he doing here at this hour?" Tristan mumbled annoyingly.

"Liam… What brings you here?" It was Zhen-Zhen who talked to Liam first.

"Lillie, Tristan… There is something I must tell you. This is urgent. Can you lend me a few minutes of your time?"

Hearing the urgency in his voice, Tristan and Zhen-Zhen agreed. They invited him to come inside the house. They proceeded to the balcony on the second floor of the mansion. They could talk there privately, without worrying about other people overhearing their conversation.

Tristan just prepared hot tea for the three of them. He also made sure to wrap Zhen-Zhen with his jacket. The night breeze was so cold in the balcony area.

When the three of them settled down, Liam began to reveal the truth about the guardian warriors.

"Lillie, Tristan… I want you to be more careful. I know who is the person who helped Hannah, the person who gave her the crystaline potion."

"What?! Who is her accomplice? We should catch that person and punish her. We almost lost our twins because of that incident!" Tristan raised his voice as he got mad.

"Tell us, Liam. Who helped Hannah?" Zhen-Zhen joined the conversation. She was dying to know who that person was.

"Her name is Mheera. She is… a guardian warrior."

Both Tristan and Zhen-Zhen were taken aback when they heard the word guardian warrior. Those people were trying to kill Zhen-Zhen and her father.

"I came here to warn you. Please be careful. She might target you or your father. Tristan, you should also protect yourself as she might use you as your wife's weakness."

Tristan and Zhen-Zhen understood what he meant. Even Titania and Ella got involved when some guardian warriors attacked Zu Wan. Mheera might do the same strategy.

Liam also informed them that he knew those people who attacked Zu Wan.

"Liam… how did you know that the guard warriors and I are in conflict? Where did you learn this?" Zhen-Zhen confronted him.

Liam raised his head, looking straight into Zhen-Zhen's eyes.

"I know them because… I am one of them. Lillie… I was a member of the guardian warriors."

Zhen-Zhen was at a loss for words the moment she heard that. She had never expected this revelation from Liam.

Even Tristan could hardly believe this. He didn't know whether he should be mad at him or not. They were aware that Liam hid this truth from them.

"Are you also planning to hurt my wife?!!" Tristan stood up, grabbing Liam by his collar.

"Answer me, Liam! Are you targeting my wife?! Did you help them?"
