As expected, Alexander shook his head. “He went through so much trouble just to trick you into coming here. It’s undoubtedly not for something as simple as challenging you.”
It would make sense if Noah were the one who did it. With his status here and his position as the director of the Perfumers’ Society, it would be a piece of cake for him to get the seal. It was just that the Perfumers’ Society itself disapproved of his so-called invitation, and Noah did it for his selfish reasons. No one could not blame the others for not realizing it at the time.
“Then let’s see what he’s up to.” Lily shrugged. She had no traces of fear on her face.
“Aren’t you scared?” Alexander stared into her eyes. She was beautiful in a different way under the night sky, which made him reluctant to let go of her.
“Why would I be?” Lily replied in disapproval before she laughed, “As you said, he went through so much trouble just to deceive me into coming here, and it won’t be as simple as just to challenge me, nor would it be to kill me. Since that’s the case, why would I be afraid? I’m just waiting to see what he has up his sleeves.”
‘It’s as simple as observing his moves and counterattacking. What’s the point of being afraid?’
With an almost inaudible sigh, Alexander loosened his grip on Lily. “Sometimes I feel that you are too strong.”
“You’re wrong. I’m not strong by myself at all! I can only be this way because I have your support.” Lily smiled and poked Alexander’s chest with her finger. “You’re here, so I’m not scared anymore!”
She might have been slightly anxious earlier, but she calmed down when she saw him. Alexander came as soon as he realized Lily might be in danger. What else would she be afraid of? She had nothing to fear with him by her side!
