(Lian Li POV)
My parents naturally stood up to welcome him, still seeing him as the nice guy he pretends to be.
If I had been trying to avoid standing out, I would have just pretended to play along and let things progress how they had in the past.
Unfortunately for him, I was not trying to avoid standing out.
The moment mother had released me from her hug, I had moved in front of him faster than they could perceive my movements.
He let out a startled yelp when I grabbed him by the neck with a hand, lifting him off the ground easily.
"You know… If you had come here a few minutes earlier, I might not have cared about you… But right now, all I want to do is to tear you apart limb by limb…"
He tried to pry my hand away but of course he didn't have the strength to do so, the shock on his face turning into one of fear when he realised I had every intention of killing him.
