Let’s go back to a few minutes ago, right when Lilith and the man arrived at the base of the Black Snake Gang.
In a room in the imperial palace, Empress Lillia M. Neos sat on her bed as her face looked forlorn. The empress was beautiful as the rumors, auburn hair with honey-colored eyes; the thing that stood out the most about her body was that mole near the left side of her lower lip.
Suddenly, soone was knocking on the door, and the empress said.
”Coming in.”
”Evening, my empress.” The maid that entered and she bowed deeply before the empress.
”What did the emperor say? Did he accept to see ?” The empress asked, and she couldn’t hide the small expectation she had that maybe the emperor might accept seeing her after such a long ti, but unfortunately, once again, she ended up disappointed.
”I’m sorry, my empress, his majesty said he was busy; he will see you when he is free.” the maid answered with her head lowered, afraid to see the disappointnt on the empress’s face.
As soone who had served the empress for three years already, and during these three years, the emperor had not visited his empress even three tis; it was to the extent that other concubines would make fun of the empress, even their maids.
”I see you can go back. Send Nia over.” the empress said, sending the maid away.
”Hah! So you will continue punishing like this? Okay, I’m done playing along.” The empress said with a smile; this smile could send a shiver to anyone’s spine. It was a spine-chilling smile filled with woman’s resentnt. Won can be scary when they smile like this.
Suddenly, her earring rang, announcing her son’s call.
The empress smiled, and her smile blossod like a brilliant flower in bloom. Her son was her only joy in her life; she would do anything for his happiness as she had always done.
”Hello, my sweetheart. How are you doing at the academy?”
”I’m a fine mother. Everything is going fine, but there is a bug wanting to make my school life a little bit boring.” Leon didn’t wait before going straight to the point.
The empress’s face turned cold suddenly, and the temperature in the room plumted to an alarming degree.
”Who is it?” She answered. She wondered which bastard had a death wish.
”He is na is Kyle Blake. I didn’t find anything on him, so I was hoping you could use your connection to get information on him. I will take care of him on my own. You know what to do, mother.” Leon said, and her mother smiled.
”Don’t worry, leave it to your mother.”
”Okay, I’ll call you later. I wish you a good night; I love you. Don’t worry; your son won’t fail you.” Leon said before hanging up.
”I love you too, my dear son.” the empress mumbled before her eyes turned venomous.
”Kyle Blake, you will wish you are not born. Trying to fight my son over a woman? You must have a death wish.”
”Ti to visit that bar. I need to talk with Nia.”
The empress decided to wait for her special maid Nia, her confidant.

Back to the Black Snake’s base.
Upon hearing their boss’s order, they attacked simultaneously. They had different weapons, ax, sword, spear, daggers, and mace.
Facing attacks coming from all sides, Lilith was still calm before she released all her strength and disappeared.
The next second, the people nearest to her froze.
An instant later, their bodies flew away, crashing against the gang mbers behind them.
“!!!” Expressions of surprise appeared on the gang mbers’ faces. But before they could react, they felt sothing hitting their chest; then, they vomited a mouthful of blood and fell to the ground.
In less than one second, half of the enemies had been incapacitated.
The remaining half paused. They looked at Lilith with their eyes opened wide. Half of their combat force had been taken down without them understanding how.
Lilith was like a shadow; when she attacked, only the boss saw a shadow; she had moved too fast.
For a brief instant, none of them dared to move. The fear of the unknown overwheld their minds. They were frozen in terror before the overwhelming strength Lilith showed.
The boss sent a signal to one of her subordinates to help, she was the fast type as well, and soon she answered her call.
A lithe shadow moved.
“Ha!”
A rapier pierced towards Lilith from the shadows. The rapier moved so quickly that anyone below level 5 would have been unable to react.
However, relying on her spirit perception, Lilith just leaned her body aside. She swung the dagger she had just unsheathed in an upward slash, clashing with the rapier and repelling the enemy.
“What are you doing!?” Exclaid the attacker. “No matter how strong she is, she is alone! Attack together.”
The frozen gang mbers were startled before blushing in sha. They could not believe that all of them were intimidated by a lone girl; she was but one person they could win if they sward her with numbers.
The next instant, a fire burned in their eyes. They raised their weapons and charged toward Lilith with a battle cry.
Lilith flashed an amused smile and looked at the woman that attacked her. She was tall as her and had a slender and well-toned body. Her arms and legs were filled with beautiful muscles and explosive strength, and her dark hair danced with the wind. From experience, Lilith could tell that this woman had experienced countless battles. She had the scent of soone experienced despite her younger age. She was only a level 5 origin master, but Lilith knew she must not underestimate her as she was talented; with a little bit of grooming, she would beco quite powerful.
Once more, Lilith was reminded of how lucky she was for choosing this gang on the first try. This gang was filled with a bunch of talented people.
From the corner of her eyes, Lilith caught sight of the boss secretly moving in her direction, and she said.
”That won’t do.”
