"Aunt Ying… that Lyca is quite bold, turning her back on Brother Long and I without even giving us the chance to rebut. She is clearly disrespecting the student council." Ling Nana's face was morphed into an ugly scowl. Someone who was from the Huang Family did not have the right to act so haughty in this place!
"Lyca… well… she has always been like that." Huang Ying sighed. "The most important thing for now is for us to get rid of her bodyguard." Getting rid of Shen Qui who was directly working for that old man would give them an excuse to try and poach Lyca to their alliance. Once Lyca became the next head, it would be easier for them to take over the whole Huang Security.
"Actually, we have more pressing concerns than this." Long Yi's face was solemn. "The acid in Lin Tao's neck was surely done by Lyca. That means… she's capable of making Acids and Poisons. That makes her even more dangerous. Are we really going to allow her to brandish that kind of weapon in front of us?" Fiance or not, Long Yi's interest had always been about his family. Something that could threaten his family was considered his enemy.
"Then what do you suggest?" Young Master Xie asked. "If we cancel the challenge…"
"No. We're not going to cancel the challenge. But we will make it difficult for her to issue challenges like this. Aunt Ying… I suppose you already know that woman's weakness?"
"Hmmm." Huang Ying frowned as she thought about her eldest son's words about Lyca's peculiar martial arts. "Weapons. I haven't seen her handle a weapon. She is probably good at handling guns as her father is an excellent marksman but the other type of weapons…" She shook her head. "With her lazy disposition, I doubt she had the interest to learn about other weapons."
"I understand. Ling Nana… weapons is your specialty. You should know some experts in weaponry. Please ask them to challenge her and do not challenge her on your own. We don't want her to think that we created this point system to deal with her."
Ling Nana immediately beamed. "Should we… cripple her?"
"Probably a small damage to her eyes or hands would do. We should stop her from creating more of those poisons. If we—"
Young Master Xie's gaps interrupted Long Yi's words. He stared at his phone, disbelief flashing in his eyes before looking at Long Yi and everyone else. "She—" this crazy woman!
"She what?" Ling Nana grabbed the phone from Xie Jun's hands and read it. Slowly, her face turned sour. "She actually challenged everyone."
"What?" Zhang Zhi and her mother Huang Ying spoke at the same time. "What do you mean?"
"She issued a challenge to everyone." Xie Jun confirmed. Ten million worth of diamonds would be given as long as they could withstand one of her non-lethal poisons. She also attached her license as if telling everyone that she was qualified to deal with chemicals."
"This—"
Everyone's expression turned grave. They originally created this point system to deal with Shen Qui and Li Xian. These two were not originally from a prestigious family so having them here was a big issue. Moreover, they also wanted to use this opportunity to show the Huang Family who the real boss was.
But with the current turn of events…
"What about the rules?" Huang Ying's voice interrupted everyone. "Is this allowed? She just challenged a member of the student council! She also challenged the person who challenged Shen Qui! Can she issue another challenge?"
"She didn't violate any rules." Xie Jun seethed. He recalled that damn commoner telling him that he read the every rule and law of this school. If Lyca had someone who had memorized all the laws by her side, it would be hard for her to make a mistake! Using the law against her would be quite difficult! "She can challenge whoever she wants."
Hearing this, everyone's face darkened. This point system was supposed to make Lyca lose all her arrogance! It was designed to give advantage to the student council! But she actually took advantage of it before they could even make a plan against her!
"What a cunning little devil." Long Yi flashed a cold smile. "Since she wants to play this game then… let's stay on the sidelines and watch. We don't know what her end goal is at the moment. Let's just observe for now." Lyca was not the stupid and ambitious type. Surely, her actions had reasoning behind it. Of course, no one inside this room would be able to guess that Lyca only wanted a servant and since only student members can have a servant…
Lyca on the other hand was coldly looking at the scrambled egg in front of her. She looked at Shen Qui's embarrassed face then back into the burnt egg. "No frying. No cooking. Just boiling!" Lyca said. It seems that this Shen Qui was only good at boiling eggs. "Rice?" She asked.
"Oh! I know how to cook rice! Here… here… We have a rice cooker so it isn't a problem."
Lyca narrowed her eyes. Cooking rice in a rice cooker? Even toddlers could do that! "You wasted eggs." She uttered. She wasn't mad that she wasn't able to eat good food. She was more mad that he had ruined two eggs! "Pay."
"Alright.. Alright. I will." Shen Qui was feeling incompetent. This young miss was very particular with her food. One minute more of cooking time and she would already consider it as burnt. He wanted to curse! This was the normal way that he scrambled his egg! What was she complaining about? Now she even wanted him to pay!
He looked at her dark face. "Shall I make another one?"
"Leave!" Lyca said coldly. "Bring the eggs!" She rose from her seat and approached the kitchen herself. She needed good food and she didn't have someone to cook for her! Now, she would be forced to cook all by herself.
This is not the life that she wanted!
Lyca gritted her teeth as she started chopping ingredients. Meat, vegetables, spices. In less than two minutes, Lyca finished the meticulous chopping. "Why are you still here?" she asked the man who stood frozen by the fridge. What? Did this stupid man think she couldn't cook?
