Trial Of Love Chapter 391 - Fruit Tart

"Hey, who are you?" The young and wild Elizabeth inquired.

"None of your business…"

"Hmm, it seems like you need some sweetness in your life." She responded as she took out a fruit tart out of her bag. "Here."

"What this for?"

"Try it…" She smiled.

The girl grabbed the fruit tart and took a small bite from it. As the taste exploded inside her mouth, her eyes lit in delight from the different flavors she was experiencing. She didn't notice that she had been taken by a fruit tart and was halfway done.

"Like it?" Elizabeth smiled seeing the woman was almost finished.

It startled the woman and snaps her back to herself as she realized she was actually enjoying herself. "It's fine."

"Hha, you don't need to lie." Elizabeth giggled as she found the woman's reaction so adorable.

"What's so funny?" The woman frowned.

"You need to lighten up."

"What?"

"I mean, you need to have more sweets in your life. The world we live in is filled with cruelty a little sweetness will brighten your world."

The woman was taken aback when she saw such a gentle smile on Elizabeth's face. It brought such warmth as if she was seeing the sun behind her and she was growing.

"I'm Megan."

"Nice to meet you, just call me Liz."

Elizabeth took out another fruit tart as she handed it to Megan for her to enjoy. She smiled so wide seeing how over the moon Megan was with its taste.

Elizabeth, who was still in the reminiscing state, finally realized who Megan was. Small drops of tears rolled down her face…

"Me-Megan?"

Megan who was a few distances away from Elizabeth and was busy fighting the mercenaries was unable to hear what Elizabeth said.

"Megan…" She continued to mutter yet Megan did not respond.

As if her sense has snapped into the demonic state again, her sanity switch once more into the other person as the sorrow in her eyes turned into violence. She stepped forth into the battleground as she took down the mercenaries heading her way in one blow. She was indeed a skilled fighter and the men after her were as weak as a kitten.

"B*stard, who do you think you are?" Elizabeth grabs hold of the man by his neck as she continued to slowly squeeze it tight until the man was blue and lifeless.

Megan was stunned seeing how flawless Elizabeth's skill at fighting was. It reminded her of the good all days. She realized that the girl standing in front of her was indeed the Little Lady. The demon lady whom everyone feared yet was her close friend.

"Liz." Megan mumbled to herself. How she wished to run and embrace her. She has searched for her since that day she disappeared but ended up with nothing. Now that she was standing right in front of her, how she wishes to hold her.

"Ah!!!"

"F*CK!!!"

Megan snaps back to reality and notice most of the men were already on the ground and lifeless. Some still holding onto their life yet were badly crippled.

"Amazing…"

As they were about to finish the last man standing, all of a sudden, a few more groups of mercenaries arrived out of nowhere.

"There she is!"

"Get here!"

"Kill anyone who stands in our way!"

There were probably four or five different groups who arrived. Each one with the same purpose…

It delight Elizabeth to see the group of meat all coming at her. As if she was a vicious lion who has starved for a few months and could only see meat and was in an illusion that everything means food to her.

"Who would have thought I'll be having so much fun in this boring town." She utters such frightening words.

Megan notices the different aura Elizabeth was emitting and was worried. She notices the girl was no longer herself. "F*ck, I better get her out of here."

As she tried to make her way to the girl, it became impossible… Different mercenaries started coming at her as if she was a member of another mercenary group who was after Elizabeth as well.

"Where do you think you're going girly?"

"Get her!"

"Get lost you b*stards!" Megan yelled as she fought them with her remaining strength. She was already too exhausted from all the early fights since it took a while before Elizabeth helped her.

"F*CK!"

Megan was finally able to catch her breath; she went and scanned the area looking for the girl. Not far, the girl was busy breaking every men bone without any mercy. She was indeed a demon whose heart has turned cold and stone.

Not long when Jo returned and was greeted by the battle unfolding in front of him. He was shocked to see the number of mercenaries fighting each other. But what surprised him the most was the fact that Elizabeth was killing most of them and was piling their bodies as if they were bricks.

"So, this is the Little Lady's true skills."

It was the first time he saw on hand the Little Lady's fighting skills. He heard stories but never would have expected that he'll be able to see it.

"Jo!"

"Jo!"

Megan continues to call for his attention but he was too busy gazing at Elizabeth.

"F*CK JO!!!"

Finally, Jo's attention was captured by Megan who was trying her best to make her way towards him.

"Megan? What happened to you?" Jo was stunned to see the blood all over Megan.

"Never mind that, have you prepared everything?"

"Yes," Jo was hesitant and worriedly looked at Megan, "You, Big Sis, we need to take you out of here."

"No, get her out before it's too late." Megan suggested with brought a big shock to Jo.

"What? You're still thinking of her despite how badly wounded you are already. Big Sis, she can handle herself. She is the Little Lady, who has the face of an innocent child but with a demonic self."

"That's why…"

"What? You're worried that she'll ma.s.sacre then?"

"This is not the Liz I know, it seems like they actually did something to her. She is skillful at fighting but not like this…"

"Big Sis…"

"Jo, take her… I'll distract the rest of the mercenaries. Don't worry about me, if I make I tout alive. I promise, I'll look for you."

"Big Sis?"

"Let's go," Megan spoke as she made her way to Elizabeth.

Elizabeth who was able to clear her way and the men surrounding her looked for her next target. But before she could take another person's life, she was stopped by Megan.

"Who are you?"

"You already know me, just try hard."

"Hha, little girl, I'm not in the mood to play with you." Elizabeth laughed.

"A little sweetness can always lighten our world." Megan said with such bitterness.

"Who are you?" Elizabeth repeated her words earlier after recalling a familiar statement.

"You told me I needed to lighten up, it seems you're the one who needs more sweets."

"Who are you?!" Elizabeth became furious and agitated as her mind started to ache.

"I told you; sooner or later you'll never me. So try to remember me now?"

Elizabeth's head was aching so much as if a nail was being hammered into her skull. The pain was so extreme that her nose started to bleed. As she loses control of herself, she became unable to stand still and soon loses her balance.

Megan hastily went to catch Elizabeth into her embrace. "Didn't you tell me we live in a cruel world and all we need is some sweetness to brighten our world?"

"Tell me, who are you?"

"Don't worry; sooner or later you'll remember who I am. For now, you need to live. Follow Jo and whatever happens, don't look back and keep moving forward. Find Scott, he'll help you find the Professor."

"Professor." Elizabeth's eyes shock recalling the familiar name.

"That's right, find Professor Petrovich, he'll answer everything. Trust Jo, he'll help you find your brother."

"Brother, Xinyi?"

"No, your other brother." Megan smiled as she could imagine what will happen once they'll meet each other. "Don't worry; your brother will protect you. Just listen to Jo, and whatever happens. Don't trust anyone except Jo. Once you find Scott, then you can trust Scott and no longer need to stay with Jo."

"Who are you? Why are you doing this?"

"Don't worry; just promise me once you recovered everything. Make me a fruit tart."

Elizabeth pushed herself up and away from Megan embrace. Her mind has finally calm down and recovered. But before she could say anything, Jo grabs hold of her and dragged her out.

"Megan!!!" Elizabeth cried.

Megan was surprised to hear Elizabeth called out her name. A single drop of tear rolled down her face. She was so happy that the girl remembered her, but it was too late. This was their last moment together.

"Liz, thank you." She smiled.

"Megan!!!"

Elizabeth tried her best to get away from Jo but his grip on her was too tight and her body was weak from all the frightening. "Enough, we need to get out of here."

"No, we need to help her!"

"Give up already! We need to leave now!" Jo's heart aches from the words coming out of his mouth. He didn't expect he'll be leaving the person who helps him and become the person he is now. He took a last glimpse at the woman who was busy fighting for her life.

"Megan!!!" Elizabeth shouted yet it was too late.
