YM778.TV Chapter 143 143: Who Is She?
"I don\'t have a daughter."
That one statement of Atlan came as a completely unexpected surprise for Lilith. For a moment, she even thought that he was lying. How could he not have a daughter? They had been traveling with her daughter all this while.
Was he trying to keep his relationship a secret since he didn\'t want anyone to know about his daughter? There was a high possibility of that being the case since he wasn\'t going to want a weakness like that to be known by his enemies.
"You don\'t have to hide that anymore. She told us everything. And it doesn\'t matter how much I hate you; we\'ve promised her I\'ll get you out."
Atlan\'s lips curved into a smile. "So it was true. You really lost it. You talk about having someone who doesn\'t exist? And if the one you\'re talking about really does exist, that means you\'ve been fooled big time."
"Someone used you, most probably to get to me. Let me guess, that girl is also here?" he asked. Even though it was a random guess, he was right. Yovana was actually here.
"If she wasn\'t your daughter, why did you get caught by the Werewolf Clan? Why did they attack you? Wasn\'t it because that girl destroyed an entire village?"
"What village?" Atlan lazily rolled his eyes. "You think those idiots would get so offended over a single village? If that was the case, the four of us would\'ve been attacked countless times throughout the years."
"They got offended because I killed the little brother of Ralin. That guy was being too irritated after all. And because I killed him, the wolves that were assigned to guard him attacked me. I killed them all as well before leaving. How was I to know that the Werewolves were going to work with the Witches to take Revenge for that?"
"Not only that, they attacked me from behind, using a trap. If not, I wouldn\'t be in this place. None of this had anything to do with any village."
Atlan straight rejected the notion that Lilith had. "Anyway, I would advise you to free me now that you\'re here. I don\'t know who that girl is that you brought here, but it\'s not safe for anyone at the moment."
"If I\'m not wrong, Lucius might also start fighting with Castiel. You won\'t need someone to intervene and stop them. You know how it is when big boys fight." Despite being so weak, Atlan still had his wit.
He was in pain and weak, yet he didn\'t lose his composure. He even smiled occasionally.
"So that girl lied? But if Yovana wasn\'t your daughter, then who was she?"
"Yovana?" Hearing the name, Atlan\'s expressions shifted. His smile disappeared. "Her name is Yovana?"
"Yeah. You recognize her? So she really is your daughter?"
"Daughter? She is too old to be my daughter. She is-"

Atlan was in the middle of something when an Arrow came flying from behind Lilith, stabbing her in the back.
Lilith\'s entire body froze in place as soon as the arrow hit her. It appeared as if the arrow was poisonous, which instantly placed Lilith to sleep.
Lilith weakly dropped to the ground, following her vision getting blurry. She didn\'t even have the strength to look back to know who attacked her. However, she didn\'t need to look back to get an answer. The Franc Clan Members didn\'t use arrows and bows.
There was only one person who used an arrow and bow that she knew. And that person none other than the girl Lilith herself brought here.
Lilith\'s eyes closed as she found herself unable to stay up. Fortunately, before slowly losing her consciousness, Lilith didn\'t forget to cast a spell to remove the poison. Even when she was to be unconscious, the spell was going to dispel the poison in her body.
Her consciousness kept slipping away slowly. Her vision had completely turned black by now. She could still hear though. She heard footsteps getting closer to her.
A young girl sat right beside Lilith on her knees. "Thank you for all the help, Lady Lilith. I\'m sure it would\'ve been much harder without your help."
"And just for that, I\'ll let you live. I know you\'ve cast a spell, but I won\'t obstruct it. So sleep well for now..." Yovana patted the head of Lilith. " Sleep well, little one."
Lilith couldn\'t even speak, let alone move, at this point. As she was distracted by the shocking revelation from Atlan, she had been attacked from the back by Yovana.
After Lilith lost her consciousness, Yovana stood up.
She took a couple steps closer to Atlan. "Finally found you, Atlan."

Blood Council member Elisi had torn the letter she received from Ramiun, finding it absurd. However, despite all that, she couldn\'t remove the content of the letter from her head.
Throughout the day, she had been thinking about that letter. She kept thinking, what if it was true? What if Ramiun was right? She could tell the Blood Council about this and have Ramiun killed, but if she did that, she could lose a great opportunity.
If she supported Ramiun\'s plan, she could get much more advantages than she would if she tossed him under the bus. But there was another thought in her head that kept appearing again and again.
Ramiun had already told her his entire plan in the letter. Now she knew everything that Ramiun knew. What if she put the plan in motion herself? That meant he had double the risk, but that also meant she was going to get most of the benefits.
Her mind was conflicted between the risk and the benefits. However, her greed kept tilting her toward the risk since the benefits were just so great.
As this was such a decision, it took her a really long time to come to the conclusion that it was worth the risk and that she needed to do it alone.
She called all her Generals to the castle.

While Elisi decided to make Ramiun\'s plan her own, she didn\'t realize that she was playing right into the hands of the man.
Back in his castle, Ramiun was comfortably sitting, waiting for the right opportunity to strike. He had already instructed all his men on what to do when it was the time.
"She is taking a long time. I thought she would be really eager to jump on the opportunity to take the lead. Did I overestimate her greed?"
A figure appeared behind Ramiun. "My Lord, I have news. Lady Elisi has called all her Generals to the Mansion."
"Finally," Ramiun smiled. Finally, it was happening.
