Chapter 251: 251
Around 5:30 in the morning, the two Devils woke up to find out that their eccentric guest had left, but not before exploiting a heavy breakfast from the cook, and leaving a letter that he will come back after he"s done with his work—which the two concluded to be Underworld-related .

The house live up to its name once again . Although there was nothing wrong with the tranquility, as the two preferred it that way, but Death"s exuberance was really refres.h.i.+ng and endearing .
It"s a shame he didn"t join them for breakfast . Who knew he could cause such an impact to their lives .
Lillie was about to take a bite of her breakfast when something alarmed her mind . The rather loud clanking of her cutlery hitting the plate caught Ethan"s attention immediately .
"What"s wrong?" He asked, puzzled why she would put down her cutlery when she barely touches her food .
"Is it the food?" But his wife did not replied, just starring at nothing in particular .
"Lillie?" He tried to call her again .
Blinking, Lillie pivoted her head at his direction as his calls were finally heard . "You need to train . "
Ethan looked at her in confusion, waiting for her to elucidate .
"The remaining days before we visit Grandmaster Wei, I"m going to train you . " There was not even the slightest hint of humor when she said this . Lillie was dead serious that it caused Ethan to be concerned .
"Why?" He"s not going to war, is he?
"There"s a high possibility that master will ask you to have a spar with him . " She gravely said .
"He"s not going to kill me . . . right?"

" . . . "
Her silence really worried him .
"Right?"
" . . . I"m not sure . "
"Then, I"ll be in your care . " Ethan did not hesitated to accept her gracious offer .
His wife will help him survive her master"s beatings, that"s how much she loves him .
If he will meet the master who had produced someone like Lillie and Death, he will not reject the offer of learning how to survive from his "spar" .
Lillie and Death"s master, the person who produced literal demons .
If he"s not the ultimate demon lord, Ethan don"t know who else he could be .
"Senior brother and I secretly calls him Leonidas [1] . "
Hm, a fitting name .

Situated on the topmost floor of White Phoenix Empire, was the president"s office, and the target destination of Lillie Bai .
"The president is unoccupied, CEO Bai," Her father"s secretary opened the door for her . "You may come in . "
Lillie thanked the secretary before entering .
"Little flower," Alexander Bai stopped scribbling on his paperworks, and greeted his daughter with a wide smile . "Why are you looking for me?"
"Dad, I"ll be leaving to visit Grandmaster Wei for a few days . Elliot will take in-charge as acting CEO in my absence . " She said, straight to the point .
The fountain pen in Mr . Bai"s hand almost dropped . "E-eh? Why so suddenly?"
"It"s long overdue . Master is getting quite upset with me . " She sighed .
Mr . Bai rubbed his chin . At a time like this, his daughter"s presence as CEO is demanded in the company . However, he also believe that Elliot can put on the mantle .
"What about your uncle and cousin"s welcoming party?"
"I"ll attend before we leave, don"t worry . "
"We?" Mr . Bai repeated .

"I plan to take Ethan with me . "
Mr . Bai frowned . "Lillie, ah, this . . . wouldn"t this trouble Hong Long as well? Without their CEO . . . "
"Ethan said he"ll take care of it . "
"I know he can . " Mr . Bai sighed and pinched his nose .
"Lillie, you know I understand how Grandmaster Wei is as much as you do . . . I grew up with him beating me to a pulp instead of your grandfather . " He chuckled half-heartedly, s.h.i.+vering at the memory . "I"m not against you asking for a leave to pay him a visit, and I know Elliot can handle the job, but . . . "
"There"s a high chance that Grandmaster Wei might kill him, you know . " He said, highlighting the word "might" .
"Dad, please don"t curse him before we even get married . " Lillie deadpanned .
"I"m speaking the truth!" He spluttered .
Mr . Bai did not told her about the phone conversation he had with Grandmaster Wei recently .
He can literally hear the thunder and venom in the master"s voice when he found out Lillie was engaged . Worst of all, he found out in the radio!
Grandmaster Wei treats both of his disciples as his own, and he"s really protective of them—yes, he"s protective to Death too .
"I"ve already taken precaution . " Lillie rea.s.sured . "He"ll be fine . "
"Hmm . . . if that"s the case, then alright . " Mr . Bai complied with his daughter"s request .
It might actually be a good thing for Lillie to pay a visit to the master again . Also, maybe he can ask Lillie to bring home some of Grandmaster Wei"s hand-brewed plum wine .
"Before you leave, just be sure to finish as much work as possible . " He gently reminded .
Lillie nodded, "Of course . Thank you, dad . "
Mr . Bai coughed, suddenly feeling bashful .
"Sure, sure . " He waved his hand to hide his blush . "Is that all you wanted to say?"
"Yes . I"ll be excusing myself then . "
Lillie bobbed her head before withdrawing .
Mr . Bai sunk into his chair and sighed when the door closed as she left . He rubbed his tired eyes and pick up his pen .
Wait . . .
Mr . Bai"s previous words processed in his mind .
Why is he getting worried for that punk"s safety? Let him get a taste of the master"s not-so-gentle fists!
"Aiyo, I need a drink . "
