Anthony certainly didn't expect Lily, a mere high school student, to be capable of killing all his subordinates. She even seemed unfazed.
Lily pinched her brows and began airily, "They all call me Reese."
Anthony and Heather froze in an instant. Widening her eyes, Heather gaped at Lily and bellowed, "T-That's impossible! You're just a high school student, but Reese is the king of the underground forces! How come you're him? You're lying!"
Lily sneered. "Well, I'm not!"
Staggering backward, Heather mumbled, "I don't believe you. This isn't true. This isn't true at all."
Lily glanced up at her, a cold glint flickering in her eyes. Her gaze was shuttered as she stared at Heather.
"Do you know why I've tolerated your nonsense for so long?"
Heather stared at her blankly.
"I wanted to let you know that the Reese you obey is nothing but a high school student you detested." Lily nodded and continued, "Very well. I'm quite impressed by your reactions."
She took her hands out of her pocket. "Now, it's time for some action."
As she spoke, she lunged forward and grabbed Anthony's neck. The color drained from his face instantly as she tightened her grip. He struggled to break free, but his attempts were in vain. He couldn't move at all.
A needle had stricken Anthony the moment Lily charged at him. He was nothing more than a pig in a slaughterhouse now.
"Dad!" Heather shrieked, glowering at Lily. Just as she was about to dash toward Anthony to save him, Lily pinned her down with a needle.
