Lily smiled. And with that smile, her charm blossomed, making her appear as radiant as the midday sun.
Loid had never seen her smile like this before.
He pressed his lips together. After a long pause, he said softly, "Do whatever you need to. Leave the rest to me."
"Thanks," she said before turning to walk away.
Loid, who was still worried about her being alone, glanced over at Shaun. Shaun understood immediately. "I know what to do!"
Corpses were strewn everywhere outside the hospital. This was the largest incident Lagersfield City had seen in decades. There were barely any people alive left in the hospital.
Not far away, a dense crowd continued to exchange gunfire.
A large number of outsiders had entered Lagersfield City, each armed and menacingly aggressive.
Lily looked at the bodies scattered on the ground and tilted her head back. She drew in a deep breath and then pulled out her phone to dial a number. "Lagersfield City Hospital, please send everyone over."
After hanging up the phone, Lily saw Elijah being forced back by the attackers. She grabbed him without hesitation.
Elijah turned his head and, upon seeing Lily, breathed a sigh of relief. "Reese, you're back."
His fiancée should never have to face such bloodshed. He should've been the one to deal with it.
After a moment of silence, Loid took off his suit jacket and dashed forward like an arrow.
Wherever Lily was about to strike, he would step in and intercept her, inflicting a hundredfold more brutal punishment on her opponents. Eventually, she paused, and all she could see was him moving through the crowd.
In mere moments, the densely packed crowd scattered.
Those who weren't dead were left crippled.
