Chapter 54 Just Leave
With a baton in one hand and a knife in the other, Lilith shouted, “Is there no law and order anymore? Whoever comes closer–I’ll stab them to death!”
Right then, rage overwhelmed her. How dare these thugs prey on an innocent woman in such a place!
Back when she was a Girl Scout, she had dealt with many hooligans. Nevertheless, the members of the Flying Dragons remained unfazed. They had the advantage in numbers,
anyway.
Lilith was merely a woman. How much trouble could she cause for them? If they failed to handle one woman, they could no longer survive in Southlake City.
Some of the men wanted to subdue Lilith. But they did not know that during the fight, they had all sustained arm injuries.
At that very moment, Lilith considered the Flying Dragons her enemies. She felt as though she had returned to the days when she was a Girl Scout.
She was not a woman who would give to someone easily, let alone to such thugs. The members of the Flying Dragons also did not expect an unremarkable woman to fight so well.
Meanwhile, Willow was shocked, too. Lilith appeared to be a typical farmer. Yet, when faced with these hooligans, she revealed such impressive energy.
Quentin was also hurt. The pain he felt intensified his rage.
“Finish her!” he roared.
He did not think they would need to waste so much time to deal with a woman. At this point, members of the Flying Dragons were thoroughly provoked.
If word of this incident got out, they would definitely become a laughingstock. Although back then Lilith had indeed learned how to use the pike, it demanded strength and speed.
Right now, age had caught up to her. Moreover, she was holding a baton, and her injuries were slowing her down as well.
Seeing that Lilith had become weaker, several members of the Flying Dragons charged toward her. Two of them wielded long batons while the other two drew knives.
She was no match for four armed men. In the brief second when Lilith’s reaction was slightly slower, the men stabbed her in the abdomen.
Willow’s face turned pale with fear at the sight of Lilith’s injury. A chill ran down the former’s spine.

However, Lilith did not collapse. At the same time, the members of the Flying Dragons had gone mad. So, they continued stabbing her.
Willow saw blood flowing from Lilith’s b*dy. Then, she hurriedly exited the car and yelled, ” Stop! Please, stop!”
But they did not intend to stop. The next second, they picked up their batons and struck Lilith multiple times.
Willow noticed Derek sitting in his Lamborghini. She knew he was a member of a prominent family in Southlake City.
Hence, she ran to him, begging, “Mr. York, please ask them to stop. She’ll die if this
goes
on!”
“What’s your relationship with that woman?” Derek asked in confusion. He had not expected Southlake City’s prettiest woman to appear at a place like that.
Willow replied, “She’s my husband’s foster mother. She’s my mother–in–law!”
Derek sneered after hearing that. “So, she’s your good–for–nothing husband’s foster mother.”
“My husband is not a good–for–nothing! He’s currently serving on the front lines in South Aridlands!” answered Willow.
She continued, “He’s a dedicated soldier defending our country. Not too long ago, he held a grand wedding for me. He knows many influential people, too. You’d better be wise and stop this now!”
“Do you think I’d be scared of you? In plain terms, your husband is just an ordinary guard.
“This woman is a busyb*dy! She even injured my men. I won’t let this go so easily!” Derek
snapped.
Upon hearing his words, Willow could not help but warn him., “If you hurt her, my husband won’t go easy on you when he returns!”
“Pfft! What can your useless husband do to me? Even if I dump this woman into the river, he still won’t have the guts to say much,” Derek spat while laughing arrogantly.
Willow asked helplessly, “What do you want me to do so you can let my mother go?”
“Why don’t you divorce your husband and be with me? Otherwise, you can have some fun with
- me.
“Serve me for a night, and I’ll take it as if this never happened. Otherwise, she’ll surely end up in the river tonight!” Derek responded.
Willow could not believe her ears. “Dream on!” she yelled. She had not expected that Derek would come up with such a shameless suggestion.
+25 BONUS
She would never agree to it. Willow was sure Lilith would never allow that to happen, too.
He shrugged and commented indifferently, “Well, I can’t help it if you want to see us beat your husband’s foster mother to death.”
Willow turned around to check on Lilith. Right then, the latter was covered in blood.
She hurriedly got down on her knees and pleaded, “Mr. York, please, I’m begging you. Let my mother go. I’ll agree to all your terms besides what you said just now.”
“You’re the only one I like. I don’t care about the others,” Derek replied with a cunning smile.
After all, he had been thinking of Southlake City’s prettiest woman for the longest time. Yet, he never had the chance to talk to her. So, of course, Derek was not letting this golden
opportunity sl*p away.
On the other hand, Lilith, severely injured, yelled with all her might, “Willow, don’t give in to someone like him! Just leave! Don’t worry about me!”
She’d rather be beaten to death than yield to hooligans like them. Her son was an honorable man. Moreover, he was a soldier defending the country.
In addition to that, Lilith used to be a Girl Scout, too. Thus, she would never give in to evil.
However, Willow could not stand by to watch the Flying Dragons beat Lilith to death. She remained on her knees and begged Derek, “Mr. York if she dies, you’ll be in trouble too! Please, let her go!”
“Hahaha! What a joke! Do you know the status of my family in Southlake City?” he countered
arrogantly.
“Don’t you know that every influential figure in this city has to show respect to my family? That includes the Office of Inspector General’s head and leaders of the Flying Dragons.
“I can easily ask for the head of anyone. No one will investigate me,” Derek boasted.
At that very moment, Willow fell into despair. That was because she knew he was telling the
truth.
The York family had such status in Southlake City because they possessed unchallenged power. And with that, they could do as they pleased.
Even if they killed Lilith today, it would not stir a commotion the next day. It was just one life. The York family could easily sweep the matter under the rug.
Willow was at a loss. Moreover, Caspian was not in town. What should she do now?
She grew increasingly anxious, not knowing what to do next. Meanwhile, one of the men was holding Priscilla down.
+25 BONUS
However, she managed to escape when he was not paying attention. Then, she quickly ran toward Willow’s car.
“Willow, get up! Don’t ever bow down to a wicked man! Take the young lady and leave now!” Lilith shouted when she saw Priscilla was safe.
