They became very scared of Devonte and no other bodyguard dared to approach him. Instead, they had their hands on their pistols. That was the only thing they could rely on to protect themselves.

"Okay, Devonte. Just stay quiet," Lilah admonished.

After making sure that all three elders were safe and sound, she breathed a sigh of relief.

These elders were no weaklings. They were all very strong men. Hence, Lilah concluded that they had intentionally let Darian capture them to enable them to find her.

“Hey, girl, how dare you tell me what to do!" Devonte rebuked her.

He was clearly not happy with Lilah's admonishment. “Try and be respectful! When you were a child, I was the one who..."

“Damn it! Can't you just shut the fuck up?" Cyrus cut him off in annoyance. "You are just so annoying! I can't stand you for even a minute."

"That's enough!" someone suddenly shouted. It was Darian.

He seemed to have been angered by the noise. After glancing around the room, his gaze eventually Landed on Lilah.

"Miss Phillips, since you're here, I believe you must treasure these old men a lot. If you want them to be free, you have to..."

"Did I tell you I came here to rescue them?" Lilah scoffed mockingly.

Darian frowned in surprise and confusion.

Even the elders were taken aback by surprise. Almost immediately, they started to scold Lilah.

“Lilah Phillips, you're so evil. ALL three of us brought you up. Now, you've grown up and become strong. So, you want to just throw us aside, eh?" Cyrus growled angrily.

"You think you are undefeatable, huh?" Kyler also added his voice.

"Try us and see! If you don't save us today, I swear we'll hunt you down even after we die."

Devonte was about to speak too, but one of the bodyguards put a pistol to his head and taped his mouth shut.

"You disobeyed me and left the island without informing me," Lilah shot back at them. “Now, Xavier is the one in charge of everything. You guys can now rest."

Her words sent the elders into a rage.

Darian stood there, watching them sullenly. He was far from happy or satisfied.

“Miss Phillips, you're really bold. You mean these men mean nothing to you, huh?" he sneered. As he spoke, he pulled out a pistol and put it to Devonte's head.

Immediately, the entire room became very quiet.

Lilah could see the craziness in Darian's eyes.

She knew that he had the guts to kill the elders.
