Chapter 349

Even as naive as Lilith was, she understood that few members of her family would likely survive.

Especially the elders who were standing on the very front lines.

By comparison, her brother, who held the evidence in his hands, might still have a chance to live under everyone's protection.

That was why she had returned to the small town—to find her brother, not anyone else.

It was because she already knew the fate of the others.

Only her brother, under the protection of the town mayor, had a high probability of escaping alive.

And regardless of whether the enemy believed Lilith held the evidence, as long as she had returned to the town, they would kill her to prevent future trouble.

After all, she was the one who had managed to slip away from Lu Ka and Mo Er and return to Beluna Town.

"Going back on your own is just seeking death."

"I didn't save you just so you could go back and die. If that were the case, I wouldn't have bothered at all."

In truth, the young girl's moral compass was sound; she knew her own affairs shouldn't drag others to their deaths, which was why she had said that.

But Qin Feng's mission was to protect the girl. If Lilith died, his mission would be a failure.

Naturally, Qin Feng would not allow such a thing to happen.

Furthermore, one of the tasks in his mission was to help Lilith find her brother, obtain the evidence in his possession, and deliver it together to the city of Bibabu.

"But if I don't do this, what else can I do? I cannot abandon my brother and go to the main city alone."

"As long as I think that my brother might still be alive, I can't help but want to see him first."

"You are the only one I can entrust the evidence to."

The young girl was still clear-headed; she knew the most important thing was to deliver the evidence to the City Lord of Bibabu.

That was why she had been holding back, not daring to think about her family.

But now, things were different.

She had met Qin Feng and trusted him.

So, she could hand the evidence to Qin Feng and ask him to take it to Bibabu.

Once she could entrust the evidence to someone else, her desire to return home became so intense that she could no longer control herself.

"Your brother already has a portion of the evidence. Wouldn't it be better to deliver both portions to Bibabu together?"

"I can go with you to Beluna Town. You can hide outside the town with the evidence while I go in to find your brother."

"But you must give me a token so that I can gain your brother's trust."

There was no helping it; the mission was set, and Qin Feng had to make a trip into Beluna Town regardless.

Since that was the case, he might as well accommodate Lilith.

As for having Lilith wait outside while he went in alone,

it was because his strength was not on par with the high-level experts in the town.

He could manage a one-on-one fight, but if it turned into a group brawl, even a god would find it hard to escape.

Although the level difference was only one or two, challenging someone of a higher level was not easy.

One-on-one was fine, but one-against-many was something he could only dream about while sleeping.

Under these circumstances, bringing Lilith along as a burden would make things even more difficult.

However, Lilith did not know this; she only felt that Qin Feng was taking this risk because of her.

"No, this is my business. How could I hide outside and let you go in to take the risk? If anyone goes in, it should be me."

The young girl was very stubborn in certain aspects.

Of course, if it weren't for this stubbornness, she wouldn't have waited until Qin Feng met her and triggered this mission.

"If you still want me to help you, stop talking nonsense. Do as I say."

Qin Feng did not want to argue with the young girl.

He spoke firmly.

Seeing this, Lilith opened her mouth, wanting to say something but stopping herself.

In the end, she obediently closed her mouth.

"There is no time to lose. We had better reach Beluna Town as soon as possible, lest the chaos inside ends and the town is completely controlled by the enemy, leaving us unable to act."

"However, before we leave, I will go and finish off those two next door."

After understanding the ins and outs of the mission, Qin Feng did not intend to waste time.

After all, long delays lead to trouble.

Plus, it was easier to succeed by taking advantage of the chaos.

Qin Feng decided to set off tonight and rush to Beluna Town overnight.

But at the same time, he had not forgotten that his first task also included killing those two traitors.

"Kill them?"

Lilith looked at Qin Feng with some surprise, her eyes showing a struggle.

She naturally knew that the two of them wanted to kill her.

But after all, they had grown up together for many years.

Furthermore, Lilith had never killed anyone in her life, so she still felt some reluctance.

"If you don't kill them, they will discover we are missing tomorrow morning."

"When they return to Beluna Town and report this, our situation will become even more difficult."

"For the sake of safety, I must kill them."

Qin Feng spoke bluntly.

But at times like this, it was better to be decisive and not waste time.

Hearing Qin Feng's words, Lilith also knew that this was not the time for womanly kindness.

She nodded through tears, bowed deeply to Qin Feng, and said:

"Then I leave it to you."

"No matter what the plan is, I will cooperate with you wholeheartedly, at any cost."

Having reached this point, Lilith was actually a very introspective and intelligent girl.

She decisively entrusted everything to Qin Feng.

And she no longer questioned any of Qin Feng's decisions.

To silently kill two level-three youths who had just started out and had no combat experience

was far too easy for Qin Feng.

When killing Lu Ka and Mo Er, Qin Feng did not alert anyone.

And after killing them came the disposal of the bodies.

If he left the two bodies in the inn, the staff would still discover them while cleaning the room the next day.

This matter would very likely reach Beluna Town.

Therefore, killing without burying was not a good choice.
