Lis sat quietly at the table in the living room with his arms folded, not saying much.
Opposite him were Liz, who looked at him curiously, and Cress who was covertly on guard.
After revealing just a hint of his power, Cress immediately opened the door and invited Lis in.
What Lis said made sense; if he could come to find Cress and Liz directly, he must have come with good intentions. Otherwise, the news of Liz alone could fetch him a handsome reward from Viscount Kuka.
Moreover, as a Bronze Mage, Cress was well aware of the considerable terror she felt from the pale blue flame that had appeared in Lis's hand.
This indicated that Lis's strength far surpassed hers, and he could easily defeat her and take Liz away.
So she had no choice but to politely open the door and let Lis in, though Cress was also preparing herself mentally.
If Lis truly intended to harm Liz, she was ready to fight with her life to not let Lis get away with it.
