"How could this be?" with a sharp gaze Lia turned to the assistant. The assistant crawled on the floor backing away from Lia, "Y-You should be happy! I-I saved him from being killed!"
Yes, in hindsight, it might have turned out to be beneficial to him and Lia but initially, Lia was sure that the assistant had other motives.
"Free him," Lia had no patience to waste with the assistant.
"Yes-Yes of course!" the assistant stood up and rushed to the vitrine.
"What did you do with him?"
"I just put him here. Nothing more!" the assistant hurried to open the vitrine when he noticed Lia's gaze on his back.
"He'll wake up as soon as I take him out!"
Indeed the vitrine opened and Lia stepped closer. The tubes that connected to the vitrine were actually stuck inside Noel's body.
"You surely don't think you can fool me like this?" Lia grabbed the assistant by the hair making him flinch even more, "What exactly did you plan to do to him?"
