Chapitre 45: Confrontations and Compromises

Long Tian watched in silence, his eyes narrowing slightly. He was genuinely taken aback by Li Yue'er's decision to torture Li Hai first, and then to decapitate him. He had not anticipated this level of brutality from her.

Approaching her, Long Tian gently tapped Li Yue'er's shoulder. "You did well, Li Yue'er. It's what you should have done—show no mercy to your enemies," he said.

Li Yue'er didn't respond; the dagger slipped from her grasp, and she leaned against Long Tian's frame.

"Can I go with you?" she asked, her expression devoid of emotion.

Long Tian was slightly surprised by her request, but he quickly smiled. "Let's leave this place," he said, guiding Li Yue'er to the car.

Both of them entered the car, leaving Li Hai's lifeless body on the ground.

Long Tian and Li Yue'er headed in a certain direction, leaving the Li family residence behind.
