"Is everything ready?" Harringfort said the moment he boarded into his car.
"Yes, Master."
"Then let's go to the mainland." Tomorrow was the deadline for the six month period that he agreed with Zhou Jingren. While he was not sure he would show up in that villa in Mainland China, Harringfort still needed to try. After all, everyone in the Order knew that the meeting 'might' happen tomorrow. Everyone would surely send their representative to try and join his conversation with Lily.
"Master… there is still no sign of them on any flights to China in the past few days. I believe they might take another alternative way. Perhaps a ship?"
"We don't know that yet." This was already expected. Harringfort knew that Lily and Zhou Jingren would not be that stupid to use their names while traveling after what happened.
"Master… we also spotted at least two people from the Order. One from Lord Naru and one from Lord Neeson. The others must be coming too."
"Hmmm." That was already expected. How could those two leaders of their own faction inside the cancel miss this opportunity to talk to her first? If those two would not send people to talk to Lily, that would be surprising to Harringfort. He let out a sigh as he focused his attention outside of the car. He could not forget Qin Yuanfeng's words earlier about Lily. If she wanted to see him, she will appear.
For some reason, that seems to tell him something. Was he warning him? An ominous feeling rose inside Harringfort as he took a step out of his car. The location of his private plane was not that far from the cafe that Qin Yuanfeng had been frequenting in the last few months.
"Sir," the pilot and one flight attendant bowed as he went inside the plane. Without saying anything else, Harringfort took a seat in one of the comfortable sofas in his plane. He then accepted the glass of champagne that the attendant gave him.
After a few minutes, Harringfort felt the plane started to ascend. "Yi, give me an update of the things that have been happening in Luxembourg right now."
"Master… for some reason, Luxembourg had been having a lot of problems since two months ago. The business in the country is having problems and — "
"What kind of problems?"
"Stocks, cybersecurity hacking, and other security issues. Those are banks so those people are pretty strict with their security. A bank that would experience a breach in their security would surely lose the trust of its people. There had been three banks who experienced the same thing for the past two months. It sounded coincidental but we are already looking into it. However, we failed to track who is hacking these banks."
"And?"
"And … the electricity in the country had not been steady. They have received multiple attacks in the past few months. All calculated, all causing big damages that required billions to get fixed. Because of this, the prices of electricity had been affected. A lot of investors were already hesitant to give their money to the country because of this."
"It should be Lily and Zhou Jingren." He immediately concluded as he drank the champagne in his hand. They were making the citizens suffer to make the current government suffer. Was she planning to make the people revolt? "Just continue watching." He added as he fell into deep thought. He had been watching Luxembourg because he knew that Lily would have her revenge soon.
He knew that Lily was not the type of woman to sit there and watched after her life was threatened. There is no way that he would not make Leandro suffer for what he did.
....
What Harringfort didn't know was the fact that Lily had been making Leandro suffer for a while now. This was not because of the economy or the government. Lily had been doing this silently by leaving images of Leandro as he does his usual everyday routine in the palace every morning.
Every single day, Leandro and Mikaela would receive pictures of themselves brushing his teeth, or reading a newspaper for that day. One image even showed Mikaela with her daughter in the bed sleeping. Every image would have an X mark on his and her face. It was as if telling him that Lily had been watching him every minute of the day. Because of this, Leandro and even Mikaela never had a good night's sleep since this started.
The two already increased their security, the CCTV's and would not leave the Palace unless extremely necessary. However, the mental torture continued until today. The two had tried everything to capture the person who had been leaving these images. But they always fail as these images would turn up in various places in the palace. Moreover, the CCTV's that will be pointed in that place would not show anything.
Of course, the two knew that it was Lily and Zhou Jingren. They were trying to scare them and they are winning. What could be more scary than knowing that you are not safe in your own house? What is more scary than knowing that they could kill you while you are sleeping?
But what could they do? They don't know where Lily and Zhou Jingren were. All they could do all day was wait for another image to show up. Then increase the security around them again.
While not many people know about this, the ministers have been aware that something is going on with Leandro and Mikaela. Something is causing the two to lose so much weight. Sometimes, the minister would even wonder if Leandro was really fit to lead. After all, many of them witness him flinching from the simplest thing like the gush of wind or the sound of the door being open.
The ministers could only shake their heads as the ominous feeling inside them increased every single day. Something bad is going to happen and they could only pray that the country will survive.
