Lilith glanced around, ensuring no one was eavesdropping
"Let's move to my room. I got us an exclusive suite on the top floor. The place has a better view, and we can talk more freely there," she suggested.
This had been her plan all along—using the restaurant as a casual eting point before leading him sowhere more private.
After all, the conversation they were about to have wasn't exactly legal.
As they left the luxurious restaurant, the staff lined the entrance, bowing their heads in respect as they walked past. They were well aware that anyone who could afford to dine and stay in this hotel were wealthy and influential individual.
Lilith flashed a bright smile at the staff, and a few of the male employees couldn't help but blush in response.
She radiated an air of perfection, her sweet deanor and the way she treated others made her seem like a genuinely kind woman, soone who truly deserved their respect.
On the other hand, Reign didn't have to put in any effort at all.
Just a glance at his face was enough to make the won around him think he might be kind, a perception that couldn't be further from the truth.
They approached a special elevator designated for VIPs, its sleek tallic golden doors gleaming under the soft lighting.
There were two divergent guards stationed at the entrance, their expressions serious as they kept a watchful eye on everyone who approached.
Lilith stepped forward, she confidently displayed her VIP card, a sleek piece of black plastic embossed with lettering made of pure gold.
The guards exchanged a quick glance before bowing their heads in acknowledgnt. With a respectful gesture, they stepped aside, allowing Lilith and Reign to pass through without any disturbance.
DING!
The elevator doors slid open quietly, revealing a spacious interior decorated in deep red velvet. The soft fabric on the walls helped muffle sound, making the space feel cozy and private.
The mont they were both inside, the doors closed . A touch panel lit up beside them, displaying their destination: the penthouse suite at the top floor.
"This place is expensive. Not everyone can just drop three million credits for a night, you know. It's a privilege few can enjoy," Lilith said, trying to keep the atmosphere light as they made their way up.
"I can destroy this place with one punch. Not really sothing to brag about,"
Lilith raised an eyebrow. 'One punch? What are you, a Demon King?'
To her, it seed that Reign had beco more arrogant and delusional.
Little did she know that he was actually being humble. A punch would be too much for this building; even his pinky would suffice.
"Well, let's hope you don't get any wild ideas while we're here. I'd rather not see this place turned to rubble... at least not until after we got the key" she humored him.
DING!
The elevator doors slid open, revealing another well decorated hallway.
As they walked though it, their footsteps were muffled by the thick carpet until they reached their destination.
In front of them stood an expensive-looking brown door, beautifully crafted with intricate patterns of different animals.
Each detail was handmade, showcasing the skill and artistry that had gone into its creation, and it was clear that it costed a fortune to make.
Lilith inserted her key into the lock and turned it with a soft click, pushing the door open as they stepped inside.
CLICK!
The door shut behind them, sealing off the outside world and creating a sense of privacy. Stay tuned for updates on empire
Lilith settled onto a long brown couch, motioning for him to join her.
But he shook his head and just leaned against the wall, arms crossed. "Did you know that guy from the restaurant ?"
Lilith shrugged, her expression changing to one of confusion. "No, he just approached out of nowhere."
"You didn't sense anything weird about him? Anything off?"
Lilith hesitated, reflecting on their encounter. "Not really. He seed… confident, maybe a little too confident, but I didn't think much of it."
"Didn't sense anything at all?" he pressed,
Lilith furrowed her brow. "Why? Is there a problem ?"
She could tell from his expression that he knew sothing she don't.
"I see, so he must have sothing that allows him to hide his power," Reign revealed, a thoughtful expression crossing his face. "Even a devil like you was not able to see through it."
Lilith's eyes widened in disbelief as his words sank in. "Wait, what do you an he's hiding his power?"
"I also didn't notice it when I just looked at him either. But I felt it the mont we bumped shoulders. He has a vitality equal to a Demon Lord. But I'm sure he's not a demon."
It wasn't unusual for so items or abilities in this world to conceal a person's true power, but the fact that soone like Nero, who was at the Demon Lord level, was in this city made her uneasy.
It ant that powerful individuals were already starting to gather here.
She had anticipated this, but she hadn't expected it to happen so quickly, especially since traveling between cities normally took ti.
"I think we should move forward with the plan much sooner. This way, the number of stronger individuals in the city will be fewer," she suggested.
"We can't do that. Celine and the others are still here. If we suddenly open the entrance, there's a good chance they would get trapped here," he shook his head.
"I understand your concern, but the longer we wait, the more dangerous this situation will beco,"
"Don't worry about it," he reassured her.
"We can't predict what will happen. We need to act before it's too late,"
"It's just soone at the Demon Lord level; it's nothing I can't handle," he brushed off her concerns.
She didn't like his easygoing attitude. "I think you're seriously underestimating them."
"Not at all. I think you're the one underestimating ," he replied with a confident tone.
