....................................

Unamused at his words, Lily met the old man's eyes as she sneered inwardly. In a game of lies and truth, there is no telling if the young fox will beat the old. But one thing is for sure, this is not going to be an easy game. "I am pregnant. I can't deal with something like this."

"I applaud your bluntness." The old man smiled. A person who is not afraid to say no to power is not something one could easily entice with worldly possession. Lily was like this. He knew that she had no interest in the order. This was something that he immediately concluded when Lily's eyes didn't change even when he told her about her grandfather's death. The facts didn't anger her, nor saddens her. This only meant that her grandfather or maybe even Lilian is not as important as Lily's current life.

Current Life….

Two words. One person. ZHOU JINGREN.

The man whose impact was akin to Fredrick Nassae's impact to Lilian Facci's life. For a few seconds, a sinister thought flashed in his mind. But he immediately discarded the thought out of his head. How could he kill Zhou Jingren? He might be an evil old man but he is someone that could easily distinguish the strength of people. Killing Zhou Jingren would only attract the ire of Lily. And even he is smart enough to know that Lily is completely different from Lilian. Similar yet different.

Lily and Lilian surely use the same method to analyze things. However, their actions were different. Lilian tends to be full of secrets while Lily is always bold and liked to show her strength in front of everyone. While Lilian's way is as effective, not many people know of her actions, thus not many recognized her strength. Lily on the other hand was the exact opposite.

To Mr. Neeson having the bold Lily as an enemy is more dangerous than having the silent Lilian. Both might be deadly but Lily's ways are brute and savage. Moreover… Lily had the habit of sparing people, making them owe her. Her network is scarier than that of Lilian's.

"I understand your concern and to be honest… we respect your decision. The thing that I want to discuss with you today is about your grandmother."

"Assuming that I believe your previous story… did you think I would just do whatever you want because of it?" Lily immediately countered. Her hand slowly started stroking her protruding belly. "I am pregnant. I am not interested in any of this."

Mr. Neeson pursed his lips, unamused at Lily's cunning answer. "Lilian… knows the person who could make the cobalt bomb that I was talking about earlier. It was a special bomb that could easily destroy New York." He immediately decided to appeal to Lily's humanity. Surely, this truth would somehow affect her emotions, right? After all, she is going to be a mother soon. How could she think about people dying because of her grandmother?

However, Lily's next words were proof that he was wrong. "What does it have to do with me?" Lily said. "I don't know anyone in Newyork right now." She uttered. This was another reason why she does not want to become a member of this order. Lily is not a saint. She is a selfish person who would not think about the status quo or the 'betterment' of humanity. All she wanted was to earn and live the rest of her life peacefully while occasionally scheming against people. Is that too hard to ask?

"That is not my point."

"I know." She countered. "Still…. I would not care. So don't appeal to my pity. It won't work."

Mr. Neeson narrowed his eyes. Lily's words were direct and harsh. But if one would really think about it, this was normal. Lily had been through a lot. Yet, she was able to stand tall and proud after everything happened to her. This is not something that one would easily achieve if they constantly think about other people. "I guess you are not Lilian." He said. "It is very important that I find this person."

"The person who could create this bomb?" Lily asked. "Why not just find another person to create it for you? Surely, this is not something that only one person could make right?"

Mr. Neeson nodded. "You are right. Yet this person… " A sigh escaped his lips. It seems that he needed more time to make Lily understand the purpose of the order. Mr. Neeson immediately fell silent. They had been watching Lily since she was born. They received reports about everything that happened in her life. They thought that once the time was right, they could easily reveal her location to Lilian and have her train her. Everything was planned.

Every one agreed not to reveal Lily's information to Lilian to prevent them from developing the closeness that a normal grandparent would have to their grandchild. However, this was because they wanted Lily not to develop deep emotions towards Lilian. But it was because they wanted to use this 'opportunity' to make Lilian owe them. Lilian had been away to her daughter for years, surely her emotions towards Lily would be complicated and intense.

They wanted Lilian to fear losing Lily again. In their mind, this will limit her growing power, her potential. While they initially succeeded, Lilian found out what they wanted to do and started pushing back. Alas, they had to kill her in the end.

In the end the plan became a failure. Because of what they did they could not use Lilian to control Lily. As she is not very close to her grandmother as well. Lily is a very rational person. Thus, it would be logical for her not to pursue Lilian's past if it would endanger her current life.

This was the difference between Lily and Lilian. While Lilian would find it hard to move on from a past, Lily is different. She had been battered and crushed. To her… the past is fleeting.
