I didn't know where Ishtar was, but the most important thing now was finding Lili and ensuring she was safe. I rushed upstairs. I got to the same floor where the room I was taken to st time was located.

  I started to worry that they might be doing something simir to Lili, so I quied my pace.

  I ran down the long hallway, opening every door.

  All the rooms looked like motel rooms. What a filthy pce.

  'Where are you?'

  But even after opening fifteen doors, I still couldn't find Lili. I kept my patil I finally found a locked door. I didn't knock; I just broke it down without g who might be inside.

  When the door opened, my eyes went straight to the bed, where Lili was sitting.

  She was fully dressed and didn't seem to have any injuries.

  I let out a long sigh of relief.

  "Luan? You shouldn't have e!" However, Lili didn't seem too happy to see me. "Did anyone see you? They might end up hurting you; you o get out of here right now!" She started warning me about the dangers.

  But I just hugged her, relieved.

  Lili's body started trembling in my arms as she felt my embrace.

  "You shouldn't have e… Ishtar is pnning something. I don't know what happened between you and the Ishtar Familia, but you o leave this pce right now."

  "There's o worry about that. Ishtar respects me a lot, she only did this to attract me so she could see me again. I think she misses me."

  "What do you mean?"

  "It's nothing." I let go of Lili and looked over her body, searg for any marks they might have left. Fortunately, nothing seemed to have happened. "I'm just gd you're okay. You o stay here while I take care of this."

  "What are you going to do? Are you thinking of starting a fight with the Ishtar Familia? That's not a good idea, Luan. Think this through!"

  "Don't worry, everything will be fine."

  "It doesn't seem like everything will be fine. Your face is scary. You're so angry that you're not thinking straight! You came here because of me, didn't you? I'm fine! So let's just leave!"

  "Lili." I looked at her and smiled. "Just stay here and wait for me."

  I closed the door with the broken lod searched for Ishtar.

  But I didn't o search for her long, as she appeared before me a few mier.

  When Ishtar saw me and noticed how furious I was with her, she got slightly nervous. However, she maintained her posure and said, "You finally showed up."

  Or, "Who do you think you are, doing that to me and then disappearing?"

  I stayed silent, just listening.

  [ New mission avaible! ]

  [ Make Ishtar regret messing with you! ]

  [ Reward: 50 points. ]

  It was a mission with a great reward. That triggered me to charge toward Ishtar without g about getting hit by her, even though she's much strohan I am.

  *Several hours earlier*

  *Ishtar's POV*

  "Do you have any idea what you've done? What did I tell you to do?" I asked the two women in front of me. Aisha must have noticed, but these two wome part of my Familia.

  I hired them to follow Aisha because I couldn't trust her. Something is happeniween her and Luan; she might try to deceive me.

  I o speak with Aisha about this. It irritates me to think about her with my man.

  The two women were hired to follow Aisha and find Luan's address since Aisha might hide it from me.

  However, I didn't expect these two to be such idiots.

  They kidnapped one of Luan's friends to lure him here! And in the end, they didn't even make it clear that Luan's friend had been brought to my house.

  "I'm soddess! I thought that by doing this, we could lure him here. We wao spare you the trouble of sending someoo his house!"

  One of the women said. She acted like an older sister.

  Her "younger sister" was standing with her head down, refusing to look me in the eyes.

  "I'm so angry I could kill you both! What will happen if Luas angry with me?! I don't want this!" I yelled at them.

  "But you're beautiful and powerful, that disgusting man won't do anything to you!"

  "Shut up! Just get out of here immediately! I o deal with this!"

  "Of course! Let's go!" She dragged her friend out of my sight, and I sighed long.

  But even though I said I would deal with this, I don't know what to do. Is releasing Luan's friend enough? No, she will tell him what happened.

  But we didn't do anything to her; she's okay... I'm sure Luan won't be mad.

  'But why am I so worried?! I shouldn't be! I'm superior; I don't o be afraid of that man!'

  I'll wait for him! I'm sure he'll show up.

  "I'm looking forward to it!"

  Then, night finally came.

  I kept the doors open so Luan could enter whenever he wanted.

  When I was alerted that Luan was in my house, I rose from my throh a smile ao meet my man.

  But when we meet.

  Luan appeared before me in an instant, grabbing me and smming me hard to the ground.
