Chapter 244. Serena won’t make it
GG sat with her head bowed, her naked figure is still enchanting, her voice trembling as she began to explain. "My grandfather despised my father because he married my mother, who was a goblin. They were both expelled from the family because of it. My parents moved to the city and lived happily together, but everything changed when there was a sudden Abyss Breakout. I lost both of them that day."
She paused, her shoulders shaking slightly, before continuing. "Years later, my grandfather found me. He promised to bring me back into the family, but only if I agreed to spy on Head Serena. My father’s dying wish was to reconcile with the family, and I wanted to fulfill that dream for him, even if it meant obeying my grandfather against my will."
Her voice cracked as she revealed the depth of her despair. "After he finally approved me back into the family, I planned to take my own life. I couldn’t live with the guilt of what I’d done."
Tyler listened silently, his expression cold but unreadable. After a moment, he spoke. "So, you just followed your grandfather’s orders. That makes you our enemy, GG. You tried to assassinate Head Serena."
GG nodded solemnly. "I accept any punishment you see fit, even death."
Lily, who had been leaning against the doorframe, raised an eyebrow. "Usually, we’d just kill our enemies. Or we could send her to the Academy for imprisonment. What do you think, Tyler?"
In the Boundless World, each ruling organization enforced its own set of laws and punishments. The Academy maintained a high-security prison for offenders, while Tyler’s crew often dealt with enemies in the most direct way possible—elimination.
However, GG’s case felt different.
Tyler frowned, weighing the options. Before he could speak, Lily smirked, her tone turning mischievous. "Or maybe you’re hesitating because you slept with her? What’s the matter, Captain? No heart to kill your lover?"
Tyler coughed, caught off guard by the jab. "That’s not it," he said quickly, though his slight fluster didn’t go unnoticed by the crew.
Lily pressed further, her teasing relentless. "Come on, admit it. You’re going soft because of your little ’fun.’"
