The villainess shall be mine

Chapter 90 Thinking Process... (Part 2)

Liu didn't agree wholeheartedly with Adam's decision to go look around by himself because she wanted to learn more about the situation, but she couldn't leave Zax alone, knowing that she was the reason why Zax was in such a condition.

'Her body doesn't have any critical wounds… I hope she wakes up soon,' Liu thought.

This was the kind of person Liu was. She put up a wall around herself to chase people away, but when she cared about someone, she tended to show her soft side, and she knew that such a thing could be considered a weakness in the world that she lived in.

After Adam left, Liu began to think about various things. 'His attitude changed…'

For some obvious reasons, she couldn't help but notice the way Adam interacted with her. Among all of the things that had confused her, Adam's change of attitude was the most obvious, because it made her feel like she was gone for a long time and the man in front of her was not the fifteen years old boy that she knew just a few hours ago.

"…" She didn't say it out loud, but she felt a little bit relieved that Adam was with her when she woke up because she wouldn't know what would have become of her otherwise.

Adam's calm attitude, despite the situation who appeared to be hopeless, helped her to keep her emotions in check, and now, she could finally think a little bit more rationally.

Still, that didn't change the fact that she had failed in her mission and her father must have been extremely disappointed with her. This thought made Liu frown as her face became gloomier than before, and she began to think about how she would deal with the consequences that came with it.

'I don't how to explain what happened even if I tried to. In the end, only the fact that Adam saved me and Verte is gone is important… But such a thing…"

Liu was grateful that Adam saved her, but when she thought about her father's reaction when he hear that the heir of the Fenrirus family got saved by a fifteen years old boy after failing her mission, shivers ran all over her body.

She had become more powerful than she was before, but it was more like a mental state, some kind of trauma, something that was engraved in her heart, to the point that she couldn't even think about opposing her father.

However, always wanted to bring an end to all of the bad things did, and all of the sufferings that he inflicted on other people, just so that he could maintain the influence of their clan.

This was her goal, to bring justice to her brother and spare a lot of people from suffering.

But when she grew up and began to work under her father's order, she understood how naïve and weak she was. The reality wasn't that easy… The world she knew was already rotten to the core, and she lacked the power to do anything about it. This was the reason why she wanted to gather some talented people to help her, but in the end, it just looked like she was a kid who gathered more kids to fight an army of barbarians.

'I am still weak…' Liu thought, looking at her shivering hands, which she clenched tightly to the point that her palm turned red.

Getting out of this situation was one thing, but what would happen after that was something that Liu didn't want to think about.

She quickly tried to change her thoughts and discarded everything that might decrease their chance of survival away, such as the ominous thoughts that appeared inside of her mind, suggesting that she should just stay dead and become another person from here, then forget everything, because now she had the chance to free herself from her father's grasp. 'No… Don't think of such a thing…'

Instead, she took a deep breath and began to think about the people that stayed with her despite her problematic character. 'I hope the others are fine…' She thought.

Cristal observed Liu in silence as if she was just part of the decor. They didn't know about the events that had happened when they were gone, so when they received a message from Liu's ship, they thought that it was Timothy and the other.

[Miss Liu, we received another message from the ship…]

Cristal told Liu the content of the message and Liu began to feel a little less dejected when the thought of seeing Yelena and the others crossed her mind.

"It's been one hour, is he fine?" Liu muttered because she began to wonder about how things were on Adam's side.

Apart from everything that was related to her father, what happened to Adam's home planet was another thing that she needed to think about, along with the identity of the people who abducted her and the true reason why they wanted Verte. There were a lot of questions, but she knew that she would not find the answer to these questions that easily.

She suspected that Adam didn't tell her everything, because she didn't tell her what happened to the person who wanted to take Verte. 'If he beat that monster, how did he do it? How strong he is now? Can I trust him?'

Liu glanced at Cristal, and when she thought about it, at least, she could come up with the conclusion that Adam didn't have any ill intention toward her. He went through all of that trouble for her, and even now, his planet was in a post-apocalyptic state, and his parents' well-being wasn't confirmed, but he had still managed to keep his emotions in check and prioritized their safety.

She didn't want to suspect the person who saved her, but it was her lack of imagination that lead to her failure which cost Verte's life, and she didn't want to go through that again.

'For now, I should trust him and try to cooperate, to get out of this situation… Everything else can wait.' Liu thought, trying to make up her mind about the things that they still had to face from there.

"Grool!" Liu's stomach made a weird sound. She was feeling hungry, but she didn't want to say it, considering the circumstances. She understood that Zax and Adam must have been hungry too.

[Are you worried about master?]

Cristal's question made Liu's body twitch a little bit, and as if she came back to reality, she looked at Cristal with widened eyes.

"No… I was just thinking about various things related to the situation that we are facing currently." Lou said, and even though she didn't have to explain anything, she felt the need of explaining what she was thinking about.

[We should contact him now, and also tell him about the message.]

"Yes, we should do that."

[Okay, it's connected, he is listening to you.]

"Wha-…. Cough!"

In the end, Liu ended up reporting the situation to Adam, and Adam also explained how things were going from his said. He had also said that he would bring food when he came back, which made Liu smile a little bit because she felt embarrassed.

After that Cristal explained that with Liu talking, Adam would guess that nothing bad happened without them saying anything.

"At least tell me beforehand…" Liu complained.

*****

'There's someone inside…'

Someone hide themselves a little bit far from the little house because they felt Liu and Zax's presence.

'Who are they? A new type of monster? Or, were there still humans around? I thought that the remaining humans hide somewhere inside the city, but it's been a while since I saw one around so I thought that they were all dead.' The person thought, trying to come up with the identity of the people inside the house.

Adam was also surprised to see a house hidden somewhere within the rocky mountain, but since there was no sign of a person living there, he thought that it was abandoned. However, that wasn't the case.

'I decided to erase my presence inside the house to not attract monsters around this area…' The person added, thinking about the possibility of monsters' discovering their hideout, but there was not much activity inside even after she waited for thirty minutes, so if they were monsters, then they must have tried to take her by surprise, or so she thought. 'How could these monsters become so smart?'

'Should I try to sneak attack them… From the look of it, there should be at least three of them.'

Then, the person tried to approach the house stealthily without making any noise, and a crimson red sword appeared in their hand as if it was some kind of magic trick.

Still, they didn't know about Cristal's ability, so Liu was already aware of their presence and was waiting for them to make a move.
