Lily returned to Anmer Heights right after leaving the principal's office.
Loid was discussing something with Shaun. He turned around and saw Lily when he heard the sound of the door opening.
"You're early today."
Lily nodded. She was a little unhappy. "I have something to tend to."
She went upstairs right after she said that.
Loid watched as she left. His expression darkened a little. It seemed like she also received news about the Weiss family's auction.
Shaun glanced at Lily. Then, he turned around to look at Loid and said, "Reports from Bridgeport say the prominent families in the city have been gathering information on Lily.
"Although information about her has been hidden, some people were still able to pick up on something. She'll be in great danger if they find out she's Shadowbane."
Loid lit a cigarette and took a puff. He exhaled the smoke with a vicious look on his face.
"Tell all of the members of the Stygian Network to come back."
Shaun was stunned. "All of them? What about Freeqa? Things have been quite chaotic there recently. Ken won't be able to last much longer. Panther raids our warehouses every other day. If this keeps up, we won't be able to maintain control of our turf."
"Then, let's keep Panther occupied." Loid narrowed his eyes. "Haven't the International Police been looking for him? Have someone leak his whereabouts to Antoine. He probably wants Panther in cuffs pretty badly."
Shaun smiled." That's a great idea. We'll deal with Panther after we've settled the matters in Bridgeport. But Panther works for Alchos. The Kobra Crew helps him cover his tracks every time. Antoine probably wouldn't be able to capture him so easily."
"That's not a problem. We just need to keep him busy." Loid snuffed out his cigarette.
"Alright. I'll work on it now." Shaun nodded.
Loid nodded and turned to look at the stairs. "Buy one more plane ticket."
Shaun was shocked. "You're bringing Lily to Bridgeport?"
Loid looked at him and said slowly, "She'll go either way."
