The council

To Lily and Zhou Jingren, Harringfort is somewhat childish. He likes gambling, and he gets irritated quickly. If someone described him this way, they would think that he is another rich young master who loves women, alcohol and expensive toys. However, if he was dumb, would he really survive this long while dealing with drug dealers, terrorists and world leaders?

After Harringforts conversation with Zhou Jingren the other night, he had decided to step back and observe. By now, Harringfort had concluded that something is indeed wrong in this situation. Why would they insist on protecting Lily as if she was a piece of treasure?

To Harringfort, humans are like plastic things that one can buy online. Most of them are not thick enough to survive. While some are pretty useful, one could not deny that they are easily replaceable. And Harringfort could not understand why Lily had to be special when she can barely defend herself.
