Alice shuffled without direction throughout her steps after leaving Mr Jack's house. She was a stranger in the neighborhood, especially once she got out of Mr. Jack's sprawling estate and into the suburbs of California. Alice passed through a shopping area with narrow alleys that only cyclists and pedestrians could pass through. Alice's steps stopped when a noise was heard not far from her current standing. Of course, it made her wonder what was going on. Why were there people screaming and wailing helplessly. Sure enough. At the end of one of the narrow alleys near Alice, about four men seemed to be thugs playing with a woman there. Alice gasped in shock. The trauma of the harassment she had almost received still hadn't gone away, and it scared her again to see the atmosphere in front of her right now. "Miss, help me!" the woman who was abused by the four men saw Alice tur

"I don't blame you for being so weak. Your misfortune has been with you since birth, and everything keeps happening until you're at a helpless point in your life,"“Dumped by family, betrayed by love, and lost your own child. You don't even feel like you have any self-respect anymore after the abuse you almost received. I'm right, huh?" Mr Jack's question made Alice nod."But you finally met me and I accepted you to live here, even though my three sons questioned my decision, why did I bring that weak you into our midst who are not good people who can tolerate weakness. There are no weaklings here, just so you know, girl," he continued to say with a smile."Yes, that's what I wanted to ask, sir. Your reason for taking me still doesn't make sense to me. Although I resemble your daughter, I am a weak woman who is different from her. Your wife and daughter are great and strong women, but I'm just trash that my own family threw away, even to a place far away from them," Alice cried, recal

"He's helping you, not bringing you down with insults. Even though the words he said were sharp and piercing, but that was his," Sky began to speak in a calm tone to Alice."He saw that the wound on your stomach was festering slightly, and he knew it was dangerous to leave it like that. He's a great doctor, so don't doubt his expertise in caring for your body's health. Even though you don't like that he's being mean to you, admit that you're also grateful, even if it's only in the smallest corner of your heart,""You're not wrong for defending your pride, but he's also right for helping you. You're even.""You want to get stronger and will get out of this house when you can depend on yourself, but Lion also must take care of your health issues,""So, work together as much as possible for a better day. Realize that right now, you are powerless to fight him. The only way to defeat him is when you're balanced by having the position and ability of Lion,""In your sentence earlier, you sai

"Hey, you didn't answer my question earlier. Who exactly are you? Why is your shooting technique at a professional level? Tell me!" urged Lion, whose mind was already filled with questions."I've always followed and monitored your training, but with just over a month of me not being here, there's no way you could be this terrible." he continued, unable to accept reality.In Alice's three months of training, Lion was not at the Black Dragon headquarters last month but in Indonesia to monitor the progress of the construction of the new laboratory that Lily had rewarded him for, helping him at the Miami Customs Office the other day. He was obviously amazed at Alice's progress."I'm just a weak woman who keeps being told to carry hatred and resentment to lift myself up. You are also the resentment that became the embers that fuelled my passion to surpass my limits. Thank you for being cruel to me, and your attitude makes me want to keep trying to be better and surpass you.""Don't get coc

"If you touch her and sever just one hair, then I'm sure the way you die will be tragic," Lion growled. He was so furious that he couldn't resist their quick-fire acting anymore."Then what can you do, huh?" the man said smugly, pointing his middle finger at Lion mockingly."See for yourself!" he replied briefly as he quickly grabbed the man's middle finger and broke it instantly. Of course, screams were immediately heard, diverting the mocking laughter to Alice, who had really caught their attention.Lion got up from his downed position, holding his sore stomach. His quick movements immediately hit several big men before him, giving him the distance to retake a stance and attack.But when Lion turned to Alice, his concentration was broken. He was slammed hard to the side after receiving a hard kick from another man. He was still glued to Alice, who was still shrouded in trauma."Gosh, that stupid woman is such a pain!" he grumbled again while trying to get up, "Hey, take out your gun
