The Princess And The Lord

1200 Enter the Tiger Mouth



Meanwhile, Lory and Lilly go to one of the Hamilton Car dealers in Eagle Rock City. When they arrived there, they were immediately greeted by the manager and salesman after which they took Lory and Lilly to a luxury showroom filled with various types of cars.

When she got there, Lory didn't need much time since she knew exactly what she wanted therefore Lory immediately chose a relatively small silver SUV that wouldn't stand out if she drove it on the road.

"Are you sure you want to choose this car?" Lilly was apprehensive, she didn't expect that when Lory said she wanted a simple convenient car that wasn't flashy, she actually kept her word, the problem was Lilly thought this car was too cheap for someone like Lory.

For some reason, she feels Lory is more suited to driving a high-end car that costs a hundred million ROMS not a modest car like this! Lilly felt it didn't look right.

On the other hand, Lory felt she had made the right choice. After this, she only needed to modify the car a bit and install some protective and camouflage spells to ensure its safety.

"Yes, I think it's enough, but I will need the glass, the steering wheels, and the tires be replaced?" despite already having the plan to plant a spell on the car as a safety measure Lory thought she needed to strengthen the car body as well just in case the worst happen.

  "Is there a car repair shop around here? I want to ass some other changes to this car as well" Lory ask the Manager and the Salesman.

"Oh, we actually provide service for any type of modification at this place but that will make this car more expensive," the salesman explains.

Lilly's face beamed with delight "Oh, that's good!" she felt better when the price of the car became higher "Do everything my friend wants  and give the best for everything you don't need to be thrifty cause I will pay for everything!" Lilly reminds them.

Lilly's words stunned the manager and the salesman. They simultaneously glanced at Lory to get a better look. their eyes were filled with worry, but they didn't dare voice their opinion then the manager answered obediently "Understood Miss, but it will take about a week or so to complete all of that."

Lory could more or less guess what her managers were thinking, they probably thought she was another leech taking advantage of Lilly, well that was understandable.

"Can you finish it in a week," Lory knew she was being a bit pushy but she didn't have much time and she had a lot to do.

"Well, that's a bit tight..." The Manager caught by Lilly's death glare immediately changes his tone "Yes, it's possible!".

"Making it a priority!" Lilly's voice was etched with authority.

"Yes, Miss!" The manager had no other choice but to agree, he could already imagine the complaints of the mechanics who had to stay up all night to complete their work, moreover, he just needed to pay more overtime.

"I thought we were done here?" Lilly was a little disappointed because the ending, which was too quick and simple, felt quite anticlimactic.

"Thank you for paying for all this?" Lory winked playfully.

Lilly leaned against one of the cars and sighed, "Actually I wanted you to choose something more luxurious, how about this one?" Lilly gave an enticing look at the car behind her.

Behind Lilly was an ice blue luxury sports car with a convertible roof, clearly it would attract the attention of a lot of people on the street.

"Maybe not now" Lory chuckled.

Lilly pouted in disappointment and an idea came to mind, "Hey, why don't I buy you another car?" he didn't need to buy Lory just one car right? She could give her a car or two in case Lory needed it.

Lory scratched her head feeling trouble, even though she knew Lilly meant well but she didn't think this was okay, and taking more than this would make her feel like she was taking advantage of this young girl's kindness.

"I think you've helped me a lot, Lilly" Lory politely declined.

Lilly had expected this, but she felt dissatisfied. "Fine...but if you need anything else, don't hesitate to tell me"

Lory patted the young girl's head, "Okay!"

But unbeknownst to Lilly and Lory, a strange woman in a tight yellow dress was watching their movements, she typed on her cell phone for a moment then glanced outside after a while she glanced at Lory and Lily again.

Before they left Lory signed a few papers to confirm her purchase and a few upgrades she requested after that Lilly reminded the manager to get everything done on time and after everything was done they left the building at the same time the strange woman with the yellow dress type her phone again then tactfully leave the place.

Before they left Lory signed some documents to confirm her purchase and some upgrades she requested after that Lilly reminded the manager to get everything done on time and once everything was done they left the building at the same time the strange woman in yellow sent a message to her phone again then quietly silently headed in the same direction as Lory and Lilly.

"Aren't you coming with me?" Lilly frowned.

"Um, no, I just remembered I have to go somewhere else," Lory said regretfully.

"I can take you there," Lilly said again.

"No, it's fine, you help enough Lilly" Lory sincerely said.

Lilly guessed it was probably something secret and that was unusual for someone who has a profession as a hunter, Lilly didn't want to be nosy. "Then I'll go first, be careful," said Lilly.

"Don't worry about me, take care," Lory helped Lilly to close the car door after that Lilly's car drove away.

Lory watched with her hands resting on her hips, she took out her cellphone then and checked something before slipping the cellphone into her back pocket she walked towards the pedestrian area to look for a taxi but out of nowhere a black van stopped in front of her from behind someone pushed her into the car.

Lory was caught by two men she continued to struggle to get free but the man behind her hit the back of Lory's head and in an instant, Lory lost consciousness later on, the car was already speeding away. After she fainted, the man sitting in the front seat took out his phone then made a call, a moment later a voice answered behind the phone and the man said: "We got her."

"Good, don't leave any traces, I don't want the Hamilton family able to link this to us!" said the voice on the other end of the phone.

"Yes, Sir!"

The car drove into an abandoned street full of empty buildings that had been uninhabited for years due to the dark age wars and no one had come to claim this place ever since usually because the Beasts started occupying this place after the Demonic beast disappeared and even after the Hunters and soldiers have to get rid of the beasts the damage has been done and it becomes impossible to build this place unless the government take over.

The black van eventually stopped in front of one of the abandoned buildings, and then one of them slapped Lory's face to wake her up. Lory woke up from the sting on her cheek, and then a man with dark skin with yellow curly hair scoffed spitefully, "Wake up, sleeping beauty!"

Another man didn't care if Lory had already woken up or not, he roughly grabbed Lory's arm and then roughly pulled her out of the van. Lory stumbled to her feet luckily she not falling down, she squinted her eyes and then turned her gaze around him with wary eyes. The woman in Lory's tight yellow dress got up and fell for a moment, "Let's go!" he said impatiently.

The man pushed Lory's shoulder to move faster while the other man walked behind Lory to make sure Lory didn't do anything funny,

Lory looked down at the mana controller on her wrist. Lory is used to seeing mana controllers because all 'Gifted' people use them when they are little or into adulthood depending on their wishes, but the Mana controller that Lory is currently wearing cannot be opened without a special key, Just like being handcuffed.

Lory raised his gaze towards the back of men and women walking in front of her. Lory was willing to bet that the woman in yellow probably had the key.

They entered one of the empty buildings and then climbed the stairs to the fifth floor. Lory pursed her lips as she stared at the countless stairs, thinking that there was still something good to be taken from this incident, hey, she finally started the exercise which had been long overdue.
