That man pulled out one hand, pointed his finger at Lisa, then he gestured her to 'come here'.

Lisa furrowed her brows, then she took a look down to estimate the distance below.

She could jump down at this height; she just needed to roll once she's on the ground to break up the impact.

But if she went down, Jennie would be left alone in the room.

If that person wanted to lure her out...

Hearing Lisa's shout, Jennie came to the 'balcony' too.

Seeing the man below, Jennie's eyes widened, then she pulled Lisa back by the arm with both hands at such force that Lisa actually staggered.

Lisa did not resist; she followed Jennie back inside.

Jennie's face was entirely pale as she looked at Lisa sternly, "Don't go, do not go outside!"

Lisa's heart melted into water.

She embraced Jennie, kissed her smooth and fair forehead, then she comforted her, "I'm not curious, there's no one and nothing more important than you in this world. Were you frightened?"

"No... I feel very safe with you here." Jennie hugged Lisa back.

Although Lisa was a woman, her 'combat results' are not some that the average person could compete with.

The four guards were skilled fighters personally chosen by Jennie after all; they put down what they were doing once they heard Lisa's shout, then they rushed out of their room and headed towards Lisa and Jennie's room.

Geto didn't even have time to put on his upper garment.

He came with his torso bare, and he only stopped at the door when Gojo reminded him.

There was a partition at the door, so Gojo and the others couldn't see what was going on inside.

"Master, Madam, what happened?" Gojo called.

"Gojo? Come in then." Lisa let go of Jennie.

"Understood."

Gojo led the two brothers inside.

Lisa swept a look over the three of them, then Gojo explained voluntarily without needing Lisa to ask, "Geto is guarding the door. He went to sleep early, so when he heard the sound, he rushed up here while topless. This one was worried that it might offend the Madam, so I told him to guard the door."

Lisa nodded.

Seeing all of this, Jennie thought to herself: Lili has already won the respect and loyalty of these four people in such a short period of time.

"Wife, where's the fire barrel that I gave you?"

"Here! It's, it's here."

In the instant that she said this, Lisa emitted a presence that Jennie had never seen before.

Jennie was taken aback for a moment, then she went to bring out the fire barrel that Lisa gave her from the cupboard.

"Here."

"Keep my wife safe." Lisa left this sentence behind, then she walked towards the 'balcony' with the fire barrel in hand.

"Lili!" Jennie followed after her closely, but Lisa did not jump down rashly.

Seeing that the man was still standing below with his arms crossed, Lisa narrowed her eyes, then she raised the fire barrel.

With a pull of the trigger, a loud bang and sparks followed.
