Chapter 184: Lily’s Past

“No,” I shook my head, my eyes were fixed on her.

“I know that you are still angry with me. Last time I couldn’t explain it to you.” She stared at me and said.

“Leave it. How are you?” I said to her.

Even though I wanted to forgive her for what she has done. But somewhere in my heart, I had resentment against her. 

When I returned from the jungle, the first question I asked was whether she had arrived safely. To be honest, I knew she’d be safe, and I expected her to be concerned about me.

But for some reason, when I saw her with that man, my blood boiled. She might have gone out with him just to fulfill her obligation. I’m not sure if she cared about me or not.

I could see her eyes watering as she pursed her lips. She looked at me after taking a deep breath and said, “I am fine.”

She turned around and walked away from the scene. My gaze was fixed on her vanishing figure. My mind was flooded with contradictory ideas. One part of me considered I should allow her to explain herself, while the other part believed I should let her go.

As I leaned against the door frame, my gaze was fixed on the Launchpad. I could see various spacecraft landing at the base. Many soldiers are returning from their bases. I didn’t know that one word from me could cause this.

But then, the image of that shadowed figure flashed in my mind. To be honest, that figure was really powerful. Even though I was in a dream, I felt that the figure was really powerful.

I shook my head and glanced back to see that Lily was still talking to that man, while the table was filled with the dishes which I have ordered.

I walked back and sat in the seat. Damien glanced at me for a moment before he continued his talk with Lily.

“I didn’t know that you would be back again,” Damien said to Lily.

Lily shook her head and looked at me. “What were you doing there?”

“Nothing. Shall we eat?” I asked her and then turned to look at Damien, who had a frown on his face.

What’s the issue with him. “Care to join us?” I asked him.

He nodded, “Fine.” Then he turned to look at Lily and asked.

I was surprised at his utter indifference towards me. What an asshole. I shook my head and started eating. Lily and Damien also took their fill and started eating. While we were having breakfast, Damien kept on pestering Lily. I could see that she was getting uncomfortable.

“Would you stop pestering her?” I looked at him and asked.

He was surprised when he heard my words. He frowned and said, “Who are you?”

My brows were raised when I heard his words: What a fool.

“Don’t you know who I am?” I smirked and asked, and then turned to look at Lily.

“You didn’t tell him?” 

She shook her head, “No. We were just talking about the past.”

I could see that Damien was getting uncomfortable. He took a deep breath and said, “Forgive me, I don’t about you,”

“You don’t have to know me, but please leave her alone. I know that you were his teammate, but there is a limit to everything. Can’t you see that she is getting uncomfortable because of your nonstop chattering?”

Damien’s eyes went wide when he heard my words. He looked at Lily and asked. “Am I bothering you?” 

Lily shook her head and sighed, “Please eat your breakfast,”

Damien was stunned. and looked at me for a moment before he started eating.

I shook my head and finished my breakfast. He is really a fool. Or I could say, he is naïve.

Just as I finished my breakfast, Damien’s voice reached my ears.

“You are her boyfriend, right?” 

Huh? What the fuck is he talking about? I looked up to see that he was staring at Lily.

Lily choked and coughed. “What are you saying?”

He had an innocent look on his face. “You are his girlfriend, right? Come on. Even after we spent so much time together. You didn’t tell me. I am angry at you.”

What the fuck? Is he really a man? Why is he acting like a fool?

Lily shook her head and looked at me. “Alan is the candidate for prime three. I am here to assist him.”

Damien’s brows were raised as he looked at me. “Are you really the candidate for Prime three?” 

My eyes were fixed on him for a while. I nodded, “That’s right,”

“Nice to meet you. I am Damien.” He extended his hand for a handshake.

I stared at his hand, then looked at him. He is really a fucking idiot. Anyway, I shook his hand and said, “Nice to meet you.”

“Nice to meet you, too. But I know that you are his boyfriend. You don’t know about Lily. In all her life, she hasn’t shown concern for any man. You know she was known as Demoness in the frontline.”

Huh? What is he talking about? I looked at Lily and asked, “Really?”

Lily smiled bitterly, “He is talking nonsense,”

“What nonsense. I am saying the truth,” Damien looked at me and said.

“You don’t know, but we were in the same team under Tanya. Tanya was known as the Reaper, while Lily was known as the demoness in the frontline. Whenever she had a fight, she would kill those aliens brutally.”

But suddenly, he sighed and looked at Lily, “If you haven’t met that accident. We would still work together.”

My brows were raised when I heard his words. Even though I know that Lily lost her power because of some accident. I don’t know the details.

My interest was piqued, and I looked at him and asked, “What accident?”

But Lily interrupted, “I don’t want to talk about it.”

I shook my head and said, “You would tell me one or another day. Why not today?”

Lily stared at me for a while before she sighed and looked up. I could see the loneliness in her eyes.

“Fine. I will say,”

“I was enjoying my life on the frontline. You could say that we were blessed to work under Tanya. Where we went, we achieved glory. But one day everything changed.”

She sighed and looked at Damien, and then she shifted her eyes to me.

“We just conquered the planet. It was one of the most tough missions in my life. Even though the people of that planet were not that powerful. But they were more technologically advanced than us. After we conquered that planet, we were having regular patrol. We were a group of three.”

She paused and looked at Damien. “Damien was with me at that time. While we were patrolling in the destroyed city. We accidentally found the hiding place. As we went inside. We found out that those aliens were planning for a counterattack. To be honest, even though they had many advanced weapons, we crushed them and conquered that planet.”

She shook her head and looked at me. “When we found that hiding place. I took the charge and killed those aliens. It was a sight to behold. Even those we were only three. We killed more than a hundred people there. After killing them, I was quite careless. I started inspecting those weapons when suddenly, one weapon got triggered, and the next moment, I was covered in white light. I don’t know what happened to me, but when I woke up, I found myself in the hospital. On that day, I faced the bitter truth. That weapon was specially designed to neutralize our power. On that day, I lost my Powers. You don’t know, but I could not accept the truth.”

A sigh escaped her lips, and she shook her head. “I was having the time of my life. Enjoying my time on the front lines. But that day changed me. After that day, I lost myself. It took me a lot of time to accept the reality. After many years, I accepted the reality and moved on. I requested them to give me a job at the facility. I wanted to spend the rest of my time with my family. But who knew that one day, they would discover the technology that would help me to recover my powers.”

She smiled and looked at me. “As I told you before, you are my lucky star. Before I met you, I was living a normal life. But everything changed when you came into my life. Who knew that I could regain my powers. When they told me that I would assist you in the future. I was quite happy,”

She sighed, “To be honest, Even though I was living the normal life. I yearned to live my life at the front lines. And thanks to you, I would return there again.”

My eyes were fixed on her. How should I tell her that this planet would face a perilous situation in the future?

I sighed and shook my head and smiled.. “I know.”
