Lily was puzzled.
“We don’t have time to dwell on this now. I’m serious.” Edward sighed helplessly. “Please. I’m begging you two to leave. Now!”
“Did you place bombs in this place?” Lily asked after some thought as he urged them to leave.
Mike became wide-eyed. “Bombs?”
Then he rummaged around, unsure if Edward had placed a bomb there.
‘He would be crazy if he did!’
“No,” Mike sighed. “We shouldn’t stay here any longer. I…”
Before he could finish, a banging sound came from inside the bookshelf. Lily glanced over subconsciously while Edward became increasingly anxious. “Mrs. Russell, please listen to me this time!”
“You listen to me. Bring us inside to meet him!” Lily said severely.
After a momentary hesitation, Edward nodded. Although they knew he was unwilling, he always obeyed Lily.
Lily noticed it and slowly loosened her grip on Edward. Upon regaining his freedom, Edward moved his wrist a little. Although it still hurt, his skin had no marks—not even a red mark from being grabbed so tightly.
He always knew Lily was an expert in kickboxing, but as they had never engaged in combat, he was unsure of her real capabilities. However, he finally experienced it for himself.
