Chapter 164 - Lilliath’s Dream 2



“Lili, what are you standing there for? Come here!” a woman beckoned to her.

Lilliath froze at the sight of the woman. The woman was clearly her mother, and Lilliath walked over in a slight daze. “Come on, say hello to Auntie Laura.” The woman hinted at Lilliath with her eyes. “Good evening, Auntie Laura!” Lilliath performed a slightly awkward noble salute. She had not been to such parties for more than half a year. Hence, her movements were slightly awkward.

The woman called Laura did not look too pleased. She exchanged a few pleasantries with Lilliath’s mother and turned away.

“What’s the matter with you today? You look distracted.” Tini could see that something was wrong with her daughter.

Lilliath hugged her mother. “Mom, I miss you so much...”

Tini put down her goblet. “Have you been drinking?”

“What party is this, mother?” Lilliath had seen a lot of faces she did not know.

“It’s a party to celebrate your second grandfather’s succession as the patriarch.” Tini thought that Lilliath was drunk to have forgotten the purpose of the party.

“That manipulative hypocrite?!” It was Lilliath’s first time scolding someone like this.

Tini frowned. “What did you say? Second grandpa has always been good to you.” “It’s all a lie!” Lilliath could recall all the events that transpired at the party in the past. If it was not for her so-called second grandfather, her parents would not have died tragically. “That old man with a mouthful of righteousness tried to marry me into the Naptons in exchange for power without consulting you. Father objected, and three days later, second grandfather called a family meeting. He assembled the elders and threatened father. When father disagreed, they kicked him, you, and me out of the family. On our way out of this planet, our spaceship was attacked by more than thirty interceptors. Our spaceship instantly broke apart, and everyone on board died. I escaped in an invisible escape pod alone... Don’t believe him, he’s a liar!”

“What are you talking about? Tini thought Lilliath had gone on a bender.

Just then, an old man knocked on a glass a few times, attracting many people’s attention. The man was Lilliath’s second grandfather.

“Today is a great day. Not only is it the day that I take over as patriarch, but it is also the day the sole female in our family, Olivia, marries the Napton’s Ulrich! On a day like this...”

“Wait a minute.” He was interrupted by a tall man. “Second uncle, I don’t think you’ve ever discussed with me and my wife about such matters with my daughter.” “Gardner, this is a family matter. Don’t get your personal feelings mixed into it. I am now the patriarch and the decision I’ve made is the result of careful discussions from previous family meetings.” “It’s ridiculous that my wife and I, who are both family council members, were not called to the so-called family meetings. What’s the meaning of this? Second uncle, don’t forget that the place as patriarch was originally passed to me by my father. You told the council that I was too young to take on such responsibilities and that my daughter has no talent for cultivation that the future of the family was in doubt. Hence, I gave up my place. However, you’re now after my daughter’s marriage?” The tall man was really angry. “Here’s one question, how thick is your skin?”

Gardner’s remark caused an uproar as everyone present was of high society. It was rare for such a distinguished family to fall out so dramatically in front of outsiders.

Everyone knew that Gardner was not only tough but also hot-tempered, which was why the family council was unanimously reluctant to make him patriarch. Everyone finally witnessed his true temper at the party.

Balin’s face turned red and then pale. He had no idea that Gardner dared to humiliate him in front of so many people. He had expected Gardner to swallow his pride at the party. “Anyhow, the decision has been made. As long as you’re a member of the Harris family, it cannot be changed.”

When Gardner heard this, he sneered. “In that case, Me, Gardner, my wife, and daughter, from now on, are no longer of the Harris family! Balin, if you want to form an alliance through marriage, have a daughter of your own and get her to marry them!”

Upon finishing his words, he turned around and walked toward where Tini and Lilliath were standing. “Let’s go!”

Outside the banquet hall, Tini furrowed her brows. “Gardner, you were too impulsive this time. You should have borne with it. It might not be that hopeless.”

“Before the old man died, I told him that the Harris family would be doomed without him.” Gardner looked emotional. “I’m just not cut out to be patriarch. Everyone else only has personal gain in mind, and some even engage in shady dealings with outsiders. I told the old man a long time ago that if it comes to a point where I can’t stand it anymore, I’ll leave the family and go my own way. He agreed. He knew that I wouldn’t be able to clean up this mess. Not to mention, there’s a chance I might end up getting myself killed if I’m careless...”

Lilliath remained silent. The scene was different from what she remembered. Her father had been silent back then, but it was a different story this time. She did not know what the future held or if it was a good or bad sign.

The three of them got into a hovercar and drove to another house that Gardner had bought far away from the family home. While they were on their way, their car was stopped out of the blue by four men in black robes. At the sight of the black robes, Lilliath’s pupils contracted almost instantly. She was able to recognize them as people from the Dark Sector. All four of them had blood-red demons engraved on the chests of their black robes.

“People from the Dark Sector? The Naptons must have seen this coming, being able to arrange an ambush so quickly.” Gardner recognized them as well. He seemed vigilant, after all, the Dark Sector was an infamous organization of killers.

“I wasn’t expecting you to know about us. What an honor. In order to get rid of you two, our boss selected the four of us to group up.” The first man in black robe laughed. “Does your boss know that you’re full of crap?” Gardner said as he launched an attack-a black flame burst from his hand. The surrounding area outside the hovercar, where the four men were standing, instantly burst into flames. Tini, who was on the other side, also launched an attack. Her eyes turned golden in colour, and a horrible illusion of black flames fell upon the area at around the same time.

“It’s no use!” a voice was heard through the flames.

At that moment, Tini’s pupils returned to their normal color, and the black flames gradually began to fade away.

“An ability sealer?!” The expression on Tini’s face changed drastically. They had sealed her Pupillary Abilities, and her combat effectiveness was completely gone.

“That’s right, we brought an ability sealer with us. Though his seals can only last for a really short time-less than ten minutes, for powerhouses like you, it’s enough for us. As for your husband, his Purgatorial Flame is not a Natural Stream force. Instead, it’s a dark curse, so we specially equipped ourselves with a light purifier. Even if your powers are close to Demi-powerhouses, there is no doubt that the two of you will die here today. As for your daughter, we’ll take her back and have her marry the Naptons. Then, the Naptons will be able to subdue the Harris family.”

Lilliath looked left and right, hoping to find a weapon that could inflict damage on the people from the Dark Sector. All of a sudden, she caught a glimpse of a building on the street to her left-it was a military museum. Lilliath vaguely remembered that she had been in it before, and there was a long and huge cannon called Deicide.

The cannon could not actually kill gods, but it had been used by a demigod before to kill other demigods. The person renamed the weapon Deicide in hopes that he would be able to bypass the ranks and slaughter deities. Unfortunately, he was killed by a deity in a challenge before he could do so. Lilliath thought about it and dashed out from the left door of the car, running toward the museum.

“Look, your daughter has abandoned you.” One of them taunted.

Nevertheless, Gardner and Tini felt happy because there was a chance for Lilliath to survive.

Lilliath ran all the way to the museum, looking for the weapon in it. She soon found the Deicide beside a window-its muzzle was facing outward.

Looking down the muzzle, she saw her parents struggling. Under such circumstances where their abilities were being restrained, their combat effectiveness was less than ten percent compared to usual. Not to mention, the people of the Dark Sector were of the same rank of strength as them. Hence, both of them suffered heavy injuries very quickly.

“Stop it! i’ll fire if you go on!” Lilliath shouted to the four.

When they saw Lilliath standing next to the Deicide, they looked at her with disdain. “Don’t be silly, little girl. Do you really dare fire that thing? It’ll destroy the entire city. The museum will also be destroyed, and you will die!”

“I’m not afraid of death! I was afraid before, but now I’m not!” Liliath shouted. “That’s because I know that some people will always be remembered even after they die-just like mom and dad. I will always remember, and I will never forget. Even if I die one day, I know Gu Ding will remember me, and there’s Biggie, he will also remember me!”

“Then watch them die again with your own eyes!” With a twisted and ferocious face, the man under the cloak pierced Tini’s chest. He then pulled out his saber with his hand and chopped off Gardner’s head before looking defiantly at Lilliath.

With tears in her eyes, Lilliath aimed in the direction of the four and pulled the trigger of the Deicide.

At that moment, fire burst into the sky, and the four of them were instantly turned into dust. A powerful shock wave was also emmited, and the whole block of buildings collapsed in an instant. Only Lilliath’s body was left unharmed. She looked at the city and centered on the block. Then, she released strong explosive shock waves in all directions. The hotel where the party was being held was instantly destroyed. Everyone in the party, including Balin, was obliterated.

The entire city collapsed completely. Except for Lilliath, no one left was alive.

Lilliath sank to her knees, clasped her head in her hands, and wept...
