Lily's POV:
A very simple story.
Even in any random company, there was always a hierarchy among managers and supervisors, and some politics might come into play, but the most serious consequence might be someone unlucky getting kicked out of the company.
It was entirely different in a cult organization. If you want to force someone out, it has to end with death to ensure no repercussions.
The owner of the Lily of the Valley was a madman, and the god of the Lily of the Valley didn't care at all about the life or death of its followers. So, the benefits that the officers could obtain were limited. It was not about money or social status; it was about life, power, and the opportunity for a complete transformation!
Everyone was competing for this, and the winner was already becoming evident.
