Chapter 186 When something goes wrong, there must be a monster
"Whatever you can do, do something useful for the Russell family, Daniel."
After saying this with disgust, An Qi turned and left.
The person left under the shade of the tree became Daniel.
He stood there alone for a while, until a sharp cicada chirp broke the silence of the forest and interrupted his thoughts. The hostility in Daniel's eyes slowly sank to the bottom of his eyes, and then in the blink of an eye, he returned to his usual cheerful self.
This was fine. No matter what An Qi asked him to do, at least it proved that he was still useful. He must not waste the opportunity, otherwise...
Daniel's eyes gradually became firm, and he quickly left the grove.
……
This year's summer came exceptionally early. Although it was still the end of May, the air was already filled with a scorching hot atmosphere. The sun was hanging high above, showing its power unscrupulously, making the guardians below droopy. Of course, there are exceptions...
Daniel finally finished today's training task. While stopping to rest, he looked at the group of people who were always the most lively in the crowd.
The blonde girl stood with her back to him, chatting nonstop with the person in front of her. After the intense exercise, her fair skin turned red, and her long hair, which was casually tied up with a cloth belt, had become loose, with a few strands of hair sticking to her forehead and neck due to sweat. However, because of her upright posture, she did not look messy at all, but rather added a bit of casualness and naturalness.
Maybe because the weather was too hot, she rolled up her sleeves during training, revealing her long, thin arms. She didn't seem to think there was anything wrong with it, and continued to chat and talk with her friends opposite her with her hands and feet. No one knew what interesting things she talked about, but the crowd burst into laughter, and even Ian, who was usually taciturn, smiled.
How unbecoming... Does she know that she is a noble lady? The God of Light is so unfair that he favors someone like her. That's right, if it weren't for the God's preference, why can she always shine among the crowd? Daniel watched quietly from a distance with a complicated look in his eyes.
But how can we stop such a person from attending the prom... A trace of anxiety flashed across Daniel's face. There were only a few days left before the prom.
He gritted his teeth and walked over.
"Lilith."
Lilith, who was chatting happily, heard a familiar voice, turned around, and looked quite surprised.
"Something?" It was really strange that Daniel would take the initiative to find her. In the past, she was the one who chased Daniel and asked for a competition.
Daniel smiled cheerfully and waved the sword in his hand, "Want to train for a while longer?" Perhaps, deliberately breaking her leg would be a good idea...
Lilith blinked, "No, thank you."
The experience and wisdom her ancestors had accumulated over five thousand years had long said that when something is abnormal, there must be something wrong!
Daniel didn't expect Lilith to refuse so decisively. He held the sword in the air for a while before putting it down awkwardly. He thought about what Angel said and still didn't give up. "Why?"
"I've been very busy lately. You know, the graduation dance is coming up soon." Lilith was not making up an excuse casually. She had been absent from work for too long a few days ago and had just recently taken up her job as vice chairman and director of the Foreign Affairs Department. Unlike her previous job when she was only sponsored by her own winery, she contacted several businesses in the city these days through Daisy, the owner of the Red Maple Leaf Tavern.
Perhaps it was because Lilith exaggerated the so-called "advertising space" too much, or perhaps it was because of the halo of the princess, they were all very willing to sponsor the academy activities. Lilith had been negotiating the details with them these days and had no time for extra practice.
However, Daniel misunderstood Lilith's meaning, thinking that she was using him to provoke Angel, and his face darkened.
"Remember to help me rush for my dress, Lilith!" Bobby urged earnestly. Because the event was a dance party, most of the merchants Lilith found this time were clothing stores, and the store where Bobby had customized his dress was among them.
"I know, I know!" Lilith waved her hand. She felt that she had rested enough and started to leave, not noticing Daniel's gloomy face at all.
"Haha, it seems that only His Highness Neril is worthy of your time and attention now." Daniel suddenly spoke, looking at Lilith's back, his tone was extremely sarcastic, "He is the only one who can let you stay and practice more, right? After all, he is a prince."
The noisy crowd in front of them suddenly became quiet. Even the most nervous people realized that there was something else behind Daniel's words. The usually cheerful and warm boy suddenly showed another side of him. Many people showed surprise on their faces, and their eyes kept moving between him and Lilith.
The girl who had already walked out of the crowd stopped, turned around and smiled, "What do you mean?"
"You enjoy this, don't you, Lilith?" Daniel's tone was extremely harsh, his eyes full of contempt, "Enjoying the gazes of men and enjoying others praising you for being different from other girls is the reason why you work hard to fight like a man every day?"
There were obviously many people standing on the sultry training ground, but at this moment it was deathly quiet. Even the cicadas in the trees seemed to sense the bad atmosphere and tactfully shut their squeaking mouths.
"Pfft."
What broke the weird atmosphere was Lilith's laughter. She seemed to be amused by Daniel's words and her body trembled constantly. Then her laughter became louder and louder, and her waist bent down.
“You’re so funny.” Lilith wiped away the tears from her laughter. “Fight like a man? Hahahaha…”
"I really want to thank you..." Lilith finally stopped laughing and straightened her face, "I almost forgot why I hated you in the first place."
She turned her wrist, and a simple training sword appeared in her hand. She sighed, "I have to say, provoking someone is very useful to me..."
I'm sorry, Catherine, I have to put my student union work aside for now. I'm going to take him down today!
Before Daniel had time to secretly congratulate himself on having successfully kept Lilith, he saw her figure flash and rush towards him with sword in hand.
"Damn!" With the exclamations of the crowd around him, Daniel only had time to draw out half of his sword and barely blocked Lilith's attack. He staggered back a few steps and before he could stand firm, Lilith's cold sword light was already in front of him again.
She's getting faster again! Daniel's pupils shrank, and despite the pain in his palms that seemed to split, he gritted his teeth and tried to resist again.
The sword seemed to have life in Lilith's hand, dancing with her fiercely. Unlike the laughter just now, Lilith's face was calm and her eyes were focused and cold. Although Daniel tried hard to resist, he was always passive under her relentless pressure.
"Tsk tsk, you seem to have lost ground, Daniel." Lilith seemed to have not yet used her full strength, and calmly looked at her opponent who was adjusting his posture and teased. "And there is one more thing——"
"I've never fought like a man," Lilith said seriously, looking at him as if he were a retard.
Daniel sneered and rushed forward, stabbing Lilith with his sword like lightning. But Lilith was not flustered at all. She dodged Daniel's attack lightly, and the sword drew an elegant arc in the air, with a sound of breaking through the air, and slapped Daniel's face, which was not protected by the armor, like a loud slap.
This damn woman! Daniel sucked his cheeks and swallowed the blood in his mouth. Even if it wasn't for Angie, he would break her hands and feet!
"powerful."
She kept looking for Daniel's flaws, and her sword stabbed at Daniel's weaknesses like a cunning snake. Even with an unsharpened training sword, Daniel's body was gradually bruised and blood spread.
"flexible."
Her steps were light and nimble, and each time she moved she just avoided Daniel's sword moves. Then, taking advantage of the gaps between Daniel's attacks, she would hit him hard in the face with the sword again and again.
"keen."
Every strike of Lilith's sword hit the gaps in Daniel's protective gear. While he was defending himself, the protective gear on his body fell off piece by piece like peeling bark, and finally he lost all his defense. In the end, the sword that Lilith suddenly thrust out hit him hard in the throat.
“Precise.”
"——I have always fought like a woman, just like this." Lilith continued the previous topic.
She dropped her sword, took two steps forward, and punched Daniel in the face.
