Blackstone Code

Not long after the wedding, Lilith saw Lucia again in her penthouse luxury villa, with a look of surprise on her face, "How did you do this?"

She asked the servant to bring brand new clothes, "Wash them first and put on new clothes."

Lucia stared at her for a while, then put on new clothes. When she came back, she explained the situation, "I was attacked. Someone wanted to catch me, but they failed."

"Lilith, your husband, or someone close to you may have joined them."

Lilith was a little confused, "How are you sure?"

Lucia hesitated for two seconds, "I was poisoned."

"Do you need me to call a doctor for you?"

"I know a very good doctor in the light of life." She opened the bracelet and prepared to call medical services for Lucia, but Lucia held her wrist down.

"No need, it's not a particularly powerful poison, it's... a powerful laxative."

"From the time I left the slum until now, the only thing I've had in my mouth is the glass of juice your husband gave me."

At this point, Lilith also realized what she meant, "You mean, my husband is involved?"

She looked shocked, "This is impossible, Lucia!"

"I'm not trying to excuse him. He's just a scientist and doesn't have access to these things. Is it possible that it's... some other reason?"

She originally thought that Lucia was not used to the juices above. Those were very high-end juices, completely different from the diet in the slums.

She often had diarrhea when she first came to the upper-class city. The food here is so good, with more fat and healthier. Their stomachs need to adapt, and they will have diarrhea.

But it was hard for her to say it.

"I can tell the difference between food-induced diarrhea and strong laxatives."

"I'm not sure whether your husband was involved or just an insider, but regardless, he was involved in this matter."

Lilith was a little nervous, "What are you going to do?"

Seeing the restlessness, nervousness, vigilance, defensiveness, and even a hint of aggression in her eyes, Lucia suddenly realized that her friendship with Lilith was over.

She was sad.

Some of her original thoughts disappeared from her mind. Lilith was no longer the same Lilith as before, and there was no need for her to say those words to her.

Lilith has taken care of her in the slums for many years. Although neither of them has stated who takes care of whom, she always goes to Lilith when she encounters problems.

So when she got the chance to change her destiny, the first thing she thought of was Lilith, but now, the relationship between them is broken.

Maybe this is life?

Thinking of this, she stood up and said, "I'm not going to do anything. I've seen your husband and he has a nasty smell, but he is still safe for now."

"I just want you to tell him not to hang out with those people. If he thinks being with those people is a good thing, then sooner or later we will face each other."

Face to face here does not mean that the two of them are standing or sitting face to face.

It means that they will become enemies.

Lucia picked up the weapon and glanced at her, "I'm leaving."

Lilith wanted to say something, but in the end she said nothing and could only watch her leave.

Now she is no longer the woman who was full of expectations but confused about life in the past. She has her own career, her own family, and a little life that is about to be born.

She couldn't make a decision as casually as she did in the past, regardless of the consequences.

Sometimes people are like this. When they have nothing, they can challenge any difficulty that others think is unbelievable.

But when they are rich, they are unwilling to take even the smallest risk.

Standing in the sun and having the sun shine on you is something that countless people in the slums long for, but it cannot bring any warmth to Lucia.

When she was about to leave the upper-class city and return to the slums, her bracelet suddenly vibrated. A strange person was applying to talk to her.

Very few people knew her number, so she approved the application despite hesitation, and soon a woman appeared on the screen.

A woman who looked very dignified and graceful, with a very special aristocratic temperament about her. She looked at Lucia, and the brilliance in her eyes made Lucia feel a little uncomfortable.

"Who are you?"

"I am your mother."

Lucia cut off the bracelet and headed to the station leading to the slums with a visibly worse expression.

She told herself it was just a prank.

But at the same time, she also knew that this might not be a prank, it was all meant to deal with herself.

They are afraid!

In the end, she returned to the slums and re-invested in the activities of transforming the slum environment and proselytizing.

Balz, who had been monitoring all this, turned to look at the vice president, "So you were also exposed, and we didn't achieve any results."

He paused as he spoke, "Lucia's strength has grown too fast, and now together they can only hold her back instead of killing her."

"If we let her get stronger, maybe we won't be able to match her in person."

"No!", the vice president corrected one of his mistakes, "There is no need to wait. Even now, it may not be possible for us to go together."

"It makes no sense for her to become stronger. There must be something playing these roles..."

The vice president was thinking seriously, and Balz was also thinking seriously.

Both of them were very smart people, and soon they found a possibility.

"Slums!"

It was very easy for the company to know what happened in the slums, and soon the two knew what Lucia had been doing for more than a year.

Preaching, changing the environment in the slums, so that more people can have a stable life.

And they called her "Saint Lucia".

"Do you think faith really exists?"

The vice president sat under the parasol, lying on a lounge chair, holding a freshly squeezed juice with ice cubes and asked Balz on the other side of the picture.

Balz was also on vacation, but his way of vacation was swimming, relying entirely on his physical strength, swimming in the turbulent sea to temper his will and physique.

"I don't know, I haven't come into contact with it."

"But the information we have collected from various regions of the universe tells us that they will need this."

"Does the person in the company need it?"

The vice president showed just the right amount of doubt, "This is what bothers me the most. He, and they, don't have such a strong need for faith, it's dispensable."

"Of course there are some who have strong needs, I'm not the person involved, I don't know."

"But I have a guess that he is on this planet, or even hiding next to us."

The vice president became a little excited, "He is hiding in the dark, manipulating a little girl to develop power for him, what does this mean?"

"It means he is very weak?"

The vice president pointed at Balz across the screen, "That's right, he is very weak, which means we will have the opportunity to accomplish a feat."

"As a lower creature, kill this higher creature, and then inherit everything from him!"

Balz, who was swimming in the storm, stopped, and the surrounding storm subsided in an instant, and then the dark sky began to brighten.

He was not swimming in the ocean, but in a large swimming pool, challenging his will through a simulated ocean.

"We may not even be able to deal with Lucia, where do you get the courage to deal with a higher life form?"

The vice president gave him an answer, "Frost, the board of directors will also support us."

"They will be very interested in living higher life forms. We can apply for more force support once we can capture or kill a newly born, weak higher life form."

"What we can obtain and inherit from him will be an amazing wealth, even for us, it is an amazing wealth!"

Balz was also a little moved when he heard it, "But how do we identify him and find him?"

The vice president lay back, bit the straw and drank a sip of juice, "Force him out."

"How to force?"

"Lucia, and the slums."

"He is very timid and cautious. If Lucia dies and the slums are destroyed, he must find to a substitute."

"Since Lucia can work for him and get the power he bestows, why can't we?"

"Balz, we can work for him or be partners. Hunting him is actually just the lowest means."

"Especially when we don't have the ability to confront him directly, if he is unwilling to cooperate with us, we will make this choice. What do you think?"

Balz listened carefully and affirmed, "You are right, so what are you going to do?"

The vice president glanced at Lilith who was walking in the distance and whispered, "Clean up the bottom layer, whether it is the fungi, pollutants, garbage, or the people inside."

"Force him out!"

They didn't consider talking to Lucia or anything like that. From her attitude towards Markuri, it can be seen that she will not compromise on this matter.

So they never considered these things.

He said that the two looked at each other through the screen for a moment, then he turned off the bracelet, smiled and turned to look at Lilith, "Honey, what's the matter?"

"The most important thing you should do now is to have a good rest, not run around."

Lilith sat on the recliner next to him with a serious expression, "I think we should talk."

The vice president turned over and sat up, "Okay, then you say it."

"Lucia said you might have a connection with those monsters, I don't believe it's true."

The vice president curled his lips after listening, "It doesn't matter whether it's true or not, Lilith, you are my wife, no matter what, you should stand by me."

"If I lose my position in your heart to our child, I have nothing to say, but if I lose to a past friend who is not even related to you by blood, I think it's very unfair."

"Of course, I can promise you that if I want to hurt her in the future, I will definitely tell you in advance..."
