Lyca smirked, but because of Xu Ke's hand on her neck, she was unable to say anything.
"Who do you think you are!?" Xu Ke hissed at her. "What gives you the right to speak to me as if… as if you were there?" He used more effort and lifted her away from the bamboo. "Do you really think I wouldn't kill you just because you know her?" When he saw Lyca's smile, Xu Ke added. "Did you think I am afraid of your father? Listen here… The Xu Family is going to own this empire. You and your family will die by our hands."
"You know— " Lyca struggled to speak as her hand tried to removed Xu Ke's hand from her neck. "You can have everything in this world… and I would only care about the necklace." She beamed before she suddenly kicked the side of his face. Surprise and anger flashed in Xu Ke's eyes.
