Chapter 62

Not far away , under a broken , rusty swing , a man’s eyes bulged out of his head , his face hushed ugly mix of red and purple .
He clawed helplessly at the chain strangling his neck . Mouth wide open , he cried out in agony , “ Help met
His legs dangled timply , knees bent and brushing the ground . He could have theed if he just stood up
But he didn’t . Why didn’t he ?
Maybe it was because the streetlights were too bright , or maybe Lily’s eyesight was just too good .
Even though the man’s face was twisted and grotesque , Lily still recognized him .
He was the commupt official who had embezzled money , ruining countless workers ” families .
“ Have you seen enough ? ” A cold , clear voice sliced through the night , as chilling as a frozen lake in winter
Stiffly , Lily turned her head and met a pair of striking eyes .
Aria was smiling , but the smile was eerie and terrifying .
The two stared at each other , completely ignoring everything else around them .
“ You little bitch , so here you are- Leon walked here .
Leon had just caught sight of the scene when a stick flow through the air and smashed into him , knocking him out cold .
Aria straightened up , the snow under her feet crunching with soft sounds
do kill him ? ”
Lily asked , “ Did you
Aria chuckled and said , “ Didn’t you see it ? He killed himself . It has nothing to do with me .”
Then Aria kicked Leon’s body lightly with her foot and asked , “ Is this your dad ? ”
“ Yeah , ” Lily answered.
Aria asked , “ Was he holding a knife because he wanted to kill you ? ”
“ Yeah . ” Caleb dropped his gaze , not wanting to appear too vulnerable in front of his sister .
Aria chuckled . “ So he’s a bad guy ! Do you want me to kill him for you ? It’ll cost you three thousand dollars ”
ven after witnessing something so horrifying and meeting this terrifying girl , Lily didn’t feel afraid . She replied , “ I don’t have any
For some reason , ever
money . ”
“ No money , huh ? ” Aria sighed regretfully . “ That’s too bad , I already killed one bad guy for free . Can’t do another one for free . ”
“ You said you didn’t kill that man , ” Lily said .
“ I wasn’t talking about him , ” Aria stared at her and smiled again . “ Poor thing . ”
Lily didn’t say anything and asked , “ Since I say everything , are you going to kill me ? ”
Aria bent down , lihed Lily’s chin with two fingers , and clicked her tongue twice . “ I don’t kill kids ! But , you did see something you shouldn’t have , and that’s a little tricky . ”

Aria pulled out a card from her pocket and stuffed it into Lily’s cost . Her eyes turned told as she glanced at Leen lying on the ground .
Aria said , “ Here are your two options . First , there’s 65 thousand dollars on this card . Take the money and kill him . Second , I will both of yo
“ Little girl , which one are you picking ? ”
Lily’s body was frozen stift . Her hands trembling , she clutched the card hidden in her coat . “ 1 pick the first one .”
“ Smart girl . The password is 123456. Don’t let anyone steal it , alright ? ”
club ? ” Arla answered .
With that , Aria squatted down and did something quick , making hersell seen a few inches taller ,
Then Aria disappeared into the night without leaving a single footprint behind .
Lily ran
ver squatted down , and started frantically brushing snow over her own footprints , trying to cover every last trace
The whole time , Lily didn’t dare glance even once at the swing .
Not until every trace was gone did Lily turn to look at Leon . She picked up the stick , her eyes turned bloodshot , and raised it high above her head .
In the end , she couldn’t do it . Lily just knelt down and cried . After a while , she hid the bank card carefully , then dropped to her knees , slapping Leon’s face with her small hand . “ Dad ! Someone’s dead ! ”
Leon woke up with a start and shoved her aside roughly . When he caught sight of the man hanging from the swing , he let out a terrified scream
“ Dad ! ” Lily shouted at him . “ That guy’s worth 150 thousand dollars ”
Leon snapped back to reality . “ What did you just say ? ”
Lily repeated what she had seen in a newspaper article . “ If you give the police information about this guy , there’s a 150 thousand reward . ”
Leon grabbed her shoulders tightly . “ Just now , that girl – you saw her too , right ? She’s the one who killed him , isn’t she ? ”
re you weren’t just seeing things ? I didn’t see anyone else , ” Lily said , her teeth chattering from the cold . “ If someone else really was here , “ Dad , are you sure wouldn’t she be the one to get the 100 thousand dollars instead ? ”
Hearing this ,
Leon suddenly got it . He said , “ Right , right , there was nobody else ! No one at all ! ”
Leon pulled Lily into a tight hug . “ You brought Dad here , good girl
Leon glanced nervously at the spot
at where the girl had stood earlier . It was all white , nothing there ,
