Chapter 278 She Couldn't Just Tell Lloyd That She Was Reborn


After typing the code, Lloyd retracted his fingers.


At this time, he found the girl in his arms looking at him blankly.


He raised his eyebrows and asked, "What?"


Ebony grabbed Lloyd's collar. She was afraid of being heard, so she whispered in Lloyd's ear and asked excitedly, "What the hell is going on? You two are having an affair!"


Lloyd was speechless.


Lloyd frowned and looked at her. He raised his hand, rubbed her hair, leaned into her ear, and whispered, "It's a deal."


His breath felt warm and she couldn't help blushing.


Lloyd said nothing more.


Ebony was confused and wanted to ask when the head of the rebels below received another call.


The glass door opened and closed. The lobby on the first floor soon returned to a deadly silence.


Lloyd patted Ebony on the shoulder and gave her a "retreat" gesture.


The two retreated to the back stairs along the way they came, and then went all the way to the hotel room where they had hidden.


Once back in the room, Ebony immediately asked, "What the hell is going on with you and Max?"


Lloyd didn't make a sound. He just glanced at his watch and said calmly, "We can rest for three hours. Do you want to take a rest?"


How could Ebony fall asleep? She chased after Lloyd, grabbed his clothes, and said arrogantly, "Answer me!"


Lloyd looked down at her hand holding the corner of his clothes. His big palm covered the back of her hand, and he said slowly, "If you want an answer, you can tell your answer first."


Ebony was taken aback, "What is my answer?"


Lloyd sullenly said, "You're special to him. Why?"


Ebony paused. She silently pulled her hand out of Lloyd's palm and put her back behind her.


Lloyd didn't say anything. He just glanced at Ebony, took off his coat, walked to the side of the bed, and sat down, "Whether it was your rejection of him before, or your protection of him now, you are always special to him. Why?"


Ebony was about to speak when Lloyd took the lead and said, "There is no need to repeat those old excuses. You feel that he is not a good person, so you want to beat him. Or you know that his identity is not simple, and it would be a pity if he dies. I know that these are not true."


Ebony fell silent. Lloyd left no room for her to make up an excuse.


She couldn't just tell Lloyd that she was reborn and that Max was her master in her previous life.


If she said that, Lloyd would probably send her to a mental hospital right away, and he wouldn't even pay for her medical bills!


So Ebony thought for a while and finally came up with an idea. She said solemnly, "Well, you've still found out. I do have some relationship with him."


Lloyd narrowed his eyes and said, "Say it."


Ebony said, "He has a crush on me."


Lloyd was shocked.


"Really." Ebony saw that Lloyd didn't say anything, and continued, "The first time I met him, it was in the hospital when you were poisoned with alcohol. He came to the hospital in the middle of the night, and he looked suspicious, so I got into a fight with him. After the fight, the way he looked at me changed. In short, he fell in love with me at first sight."


Lloyd was stunned.


Ebony sighed a little, and her tone became solemn, "I think my beauty got me into trouble. So when I saw him later, I wanted to beat him up. I didn't think he was good enough for me. He was such a madman, and he disturbed my life, so I wanted to drive him away."


Lloyd took a deep breath. He closed his eyes and pressed his forehead heavily.


Ebony smiled bitterly, looked at Lloyd, and said, "Look, you also find it difficult to accept, right? I am young and righteous, and I will be the woman of Crocan's first war god in the future. He is just a leader of Bloody Group. To put it bluntly, he's a gangster who has committed many crimes and done many evils. He likes me, and he is simply over his head.


Lloyd waved his hand and said slowly, "Okay, there's no need to say more."


Ebony frowned, "Why, you don't believe me? It was for this reason that I saved him just now. He is my suitor after all. Although I don't like him, I don't want to see him get killed. After all, I'm kind-hearted by nature."


Lloyd pinched the bridge of his nose a little weakly and said weakly, "You don't need to say more."


"But if I don't say, can you understand?" Ebony looked at Lloyd's face and said in a pained tone, "Can you understand my extraordinary charm?"


Lloyd was speechless.


Lloyd didn't want to say anything anymore. He knew that Ebony was determined not to tell him the truth. She was even trying to fool him by talking nonsense.


To interrupt her, Lloyd could only directly say, "It was he who proposed that the women and the children should be released. He reached an agreement with the Crocan military and was willing to release all the hostages, provided that Crocan would cancel the pursuit order against him and accept his request for cooperation."


Ebony had been bragging about herself. Hearing Lloyd's confession, she could only shut up.


She looked at Lloyd and asked, "So, Max infiltrated the Bierske rebels for some purpose. He instigated the rebels to hold innocent people hostage. He was just trying to gain leverage, control the right to speak, and negotiate with the Crocan military?"


Lloyd said lightly, "Partly so. He and the head of rebels are getting what they want."


Yes, they each got what they need. After kidnapping these people in the hotel, the rebels could use this group of people to negotiate with the government army, and the Blood Group could also use this group of people to negotiate with the Crocan military. It was killing two birds with one stone.


"Bastards!" Ebony couldn't help cursing.


Lloyd was silent.


Ebony asked again, "Then why did you two fight just now?"


Lloyd said casually, "We were putting on a show."


Ebony was taken aback, "Who did you do it for?"


Lloyd shook his head. He looked into Ebony's eyes and said, "It's a secret."


Military secrets, of course, could not be disclosed casually.


But this way, she realized why her master had lost to Lloyd within a few minutes, and Lloyd also...


Wait... Ebony suddenly froze.


She looked up at Lloyd, stared into his eyes in astonishment, and asked, "That means, you didn't want to kill him? So I didn't need to save him at all?"


Lloyd said calmly, "Under normal circumstances, it should be that the shooting and the firing of the hidden weapon would be carried out at the same time, and we would all avoid it. He would take the opportunity to jump from the second-floor window. We've deliberately chosen the second floor because he would kill himself by jumping down from the second floor."


Ebony was stunned.


Ebony raised her hand blankly and touched her mouth in a daze.


Lloyd walked towards her. He stood in front of her, pulled her hand down from her lips, and said slowly, "But with your participation, this scene looked indeed more convincing."


Lloyd's eyes darkened again.


He looked at her rosy lips, bent down, pressed his thin lips to her ear, and whispered, "Especially the last kiss, Miss Gibson, you were so amazing that I couldn't get enough of it."
