Chapter 604: Troublemaker

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Varin’s POV:

Lily didn’t say a word. She stared out the window as if she didn’t hear us at all.

“Are you alright?” I asked.” Don’t worry. I was just complaining. The police will bring the terrorists to face justice.”

Lily returned to her senses and didn’t seem to understand what I was saying.

She just forced a smile and didn’t say anything.

Hence, the game room fell silent again.

After a while, someone knocked on the door. It was a servant who came to bring us breakfast.

“Has everyone had breakfast?” I asked her.

“His Majesty is meeting with the lords,” the servant replied. “He instructed us not to disturb him.”

This was really serious, perhaps even more serious than I thought that people didn’t even have time to eat a sandwich.

After the servant left, Heller chewed the orange absent-mindedly as he muttered, “Who could have planned this explosion?”

I subconsciously wanted to say my guess, but Lily was still beside me. 1 didn’t want to cause her to recall bad memories, so I kept my mouth shut.

But Lily herself did not seem to care. “Maybe Lily of the Valley planned a fake potential explosion yesterday. They planned a real one this morning, taking advantage of the people’s laxity.”

She did not eat anything and just stared out of the window. “If it’s them, there’s no doubt we’ve been fooled twice. We got a false alarm when we were nervous and a fatal blow when we were relaxed. This was the Lily of the Valley House’s provocation and revenge. ｂｅ𝚍ｎｏｖｅ𝚕．ｃｏｍ

“Do you know how many children and smuggled goods were seized in the previous smuggling?” She mumbled and answered without waiting for our response, “Seven, no more, no less.

“A total of seven people died in the explosion this morning. Perhaps more will die from serious injuries, but is it just a coincidence that seven people died on the spot?”

Lily’s hypothesis made my hair stand on end.

Suddenly, the pale, scarred children reappeared before me, stacked in strange positions in the cargo box like a group of lifeless dolls. However, it was not filled with cotton, but a terrifying forbidden drug that could make people addicted.

Seven corpses.

Seven dead.

Heller shrunk to my side as he asked blankly, “Maybe it’s not the Lily of the

Valley? Perhaps it’s a brand new enemy we don’t know about…”

As he spoke, he fell silent.

The images of those children lingered in my mind, and my anxiety gradually peaked. 1 bit my fingers uneasily, eager to verify the authenticity of this assumption. Was it a coincidence? Or was it a carefully plotted revenge?

Suddenly, a pair of warm hands freed my fingers from my teeth.

It was Lily. She looked at me apologetically and said, “I’m sorry I scared you. Calm down, Yarin. Just like you said, we should trust the police to solve these crimes.”

Her hand was warm, soft, and firm. The calluses on the back of my hand tickled slightly.

After realizing my feelings for Lily, this touch should have made me blush and my heart beat faster. However, a thought suddenly popped into my mind when 1 saw Lily’s slightly furrowed expression. From the beginning, 1 shouldn’t have bothered Lily.

If I hadn’t pestered her, she could have left freely from the beginning and gone anywhere she wanted. It wouldn’t just be the edge of the House of the Homeless, but the safer and more prosperous human world. But because of my arrogant request, everything took a 180-degree turn.

Lily could no longer be free. She had to stay in the Silver Moon Pack that made her depressed, and even her life was in danger. And now, in this period of trouble, Lily could not leave. She could only sit in the strange ‘home’ and stare at nothing.

But she shouldn’t have to go through all this. If she hadn’t met me, she could have done whatever she wanted.

I couldn’t help but wonder if my existence was really good for Lily.

Let’s recount what she experienced after meeting me. Her journey to freedom was cut short halfway; her relatives despised her and rolled their eyes at her, the thrilling kidnapping, and so on.

Of course, I could say that my personal will didn’t cause all of this and that I made up for it, but at the root of it all, wasn’t I one of the inducements?

Therefore, the undeniable truth was right in front of me: Not only was I not good for Lily, I could even be considered a troublemaker.

The conversation with Heller last night came back to me. At that time, I was thinking hard about establishing a long-term relationship with Lily, but now 1 was unsure if it was right.

If my existence would only bring trouble to Lily. If I couldn’t solve these troubles, was it a manifestation of the so-called ‘love’ to cling to Lily?

Could that childish, confused, and unprofitable love be given to others?

I realized I was retreating and subconsciously wanted to refute my inner thoughts, but no matter how I thought about it, 1 couldn’t find any foothold that I could stand.

Perhaps the answer was no. I couldn’t understand, so I stared at the sky like Lily did..
