It was a warm afternoon; Lily was ready to take a break.
Suddenly, Yolanda barged into her room at a lightning speed.
“Yolanda? Why are you here? Didn’t I call you a moment ago and ask you to wait at the mountain to ambush Fane and the others? What’s wrong? Don’t tell me you’re not satisfied with three first-grade premium spirited grass?”
When Lily saw that the intruder was Yolanda, she barked with an unpleasant tone.
Nevertheless, just as she finished her words, she noticed that Yolanda’s face was unsightly. “What’s wrong? Are you injured?” Lily fretted aloud.
Yolanda was gasping so loud as though she had a ruptured lung. She finally calmed herself down, sat down, and uttered, “I barely managed to come back alive. We were waiting for Fane and they appeared not long after…”
Lily’s face immediately lit up at the news. “What about Fane? Is he dead now? And you’re injured during the battle because Fane was quite strong? Where’s Dean though? Why didn’t he come back with you?” Lily lilted with a happy mood.
Yolanda lifted her head and faced Lily, only then she spilled out some words with a gloomy face. “First Madam, Dean…Dean will not return here anymore. That brat, Fane, has actually reached the early stage of the true god realm! We didn’t expect that at all! Dean died because he underestimated Fane’s power and charged toward Fane without thinking twice. Fane killed him. As for me, after Dean died, I was under the siege of the three of them. I barely managed to stay alive and ran away!”
Terror and fear thundered down on Lily that she stumbled several steps back upon hearing Yolanda’s report. “Impossible, how is it possible? The two of you are not their opponents? Even worse, Dean was killed? That brat has fighting prowess of a true god level?” Lily shook her head with a face full of disbelief; she tried to deny the truth.
“First Madam, actually, if Dean hadn’t underestimated the opponent, he definitely wouldn’t have died, and he would have fought together with me, we’d have hope in winning!”
Lily, on the other hand, sneered coldly yet confidently.
In fact, Yolanda knew that Fane would definitely let this incident slide, but to gain Lily’s trust, she had to say it on purpose.
Yolanda deliberately released an audible sigh of relief upon hearing Lily’s assurance. “That’s good then. I was truly scared to death just now. Even now I still feel that I’ll be the next Dean if I didn’t flee in time. And I was really afraid that Fane would report this incident to Master Nash. After all, Fane is only afraid of you and the Third Elder but not of me. I’m just a Patronum, merely a protector of the Woods family. I can’t stop thinking ‘what if Fane wants to kill me?’”
“Heh! Don’t worry, it won’t happen. Fane is a smart guy. He knows that you’re my people, so he’ll definitely pretend nothing has happened. But, if he is daring enough to make trouble, I’ll protect you, you have nothing to worry!”
Lily clenched her fist as she gave Yolanda her promise.
