Chapter 256 

Hawk’s abilities were something Lily could trust without question. 
Being in the Reaper unit in Alchos meant that all of them had faced life and death together. Their bond was such that if one was in trouble, the others would risk everything to help. 
However, Lily hadn’t called Leopard or Venom this time. Their identities were too sensitive, making them unsuitable for this particular situation. 
By the time Lily and her group arrived at Driftwood Bay, two days had passed

Before their arrival, her contacts from Aeston and Loid’s people had already reached the village. Driftwood Bay was now filled with a strange undercurrent. Unfamiliar faces moved in and out, their intentions cloaked in ambiguity. All had their eyes set on Lily’s home. 
The entire village seemed to be holding its breath, the tension palpable 
Standing in the heart of the village, Lily removed her baseball cap. Her cold, sharp gaze swept over the strangers who were lurking around her home. After a long, silent observation, she turned and walked toward her house nonchalantly as if daring anyone to stop her. 
“I’ll give all of you one minute to leave or die!” Her voice was devoid of any warmth, as cold and merciless as ice, 
The atmosphere seemed to freeze around her. Despite the tangible threat in her voice, the strangers watching her didn’t move an inch. 
Lily halted at the entrance of her house, her face as cold as ice. “Daniel, take them down!” 
“Alright.” He raised his hand and signaled 
Instantly, a wave of people in black emerged from the shadows. They moved with precision, their strikes swift and decisive. The air was filled with the sounds of struggle and cries of pain. 
Unfazed by the commation outside, Lily stepped into the house 
Inside, Hawk, who had been on high alert, immediately stood up when she heard the door open. Her eyes were sharp and her body tense. She was ready for a 
rany threat that might enter. 
The door creaked open, revealing the person who st 
stepped inside. Hawk froze for a moment, taken aback by the sight. 
“You?” Hawk uttered, her voice laced with surprise. 
Standing before her was a girl with extraordinary beauty, her features breathtaking and her presence commanding an ley authority. Despite her youthful appearance, there was an undeniable air of strength and power that radiated from her, creating an oppressive atmosphere in the room. 
Hawk’s brows knitted together. She could sense that this girl was formidable–possibly beyond her capabilities. This girl’s demeanor didn’t match that of the usual villagers. 
Could she be K? A sliver of doubt flickered across Hawk’s mind. 
It was impossible 
Hawk dismissed the thought. How could K be a mere teenager? 
Lily nodded at her, then introduced Loid and the others, “This is my friend, Hannah.” 
Upon hearing her real name, Hawk’s eyes widened in disbelief as the only person who knew her real name was Lily. 
pressure she felt from the girl was because she was the renowned K. 
So, this p 
Damn! 
Hawk stared at Lily, her mind reeling. The world had just taken a surreal twist. 
A young girl in her teens was K, th 
the highest–ranking member of Alchos Elite Four. If Leopard and Venom found out, they’d probably lose their minds! Loid acknowledged Hawk with a polite nod. “Hello!” 
“Hello,” she responded, quick 
regaining her composure. 
As one of the Elite Four members, she was used to handling surprises and high–pressure situations. She realized that K was cautious enough not to use her code name in front of Loid, which suggested there were layers of discretion at play. 
Thus, she decided to follow suit and refrain from any mention of K’s code name 
After the brief introductions, Lily urged them to have a seat while she entered Belinda’s room
