Chapter 108 Rescue

The dark figure appeared abruptly, heading straight for the magical book displayed on the stage.

The guards on the stage tried to stop him, setting up a defensive barrier they had prepared, but it was shattered by several blinding beams of light coming from elsewhere below the stage.

"Attack!" the guards shouted, drawing their weapons.

Ordinary guests screamed and scattered, while the extraordinary guests revealed themselves one after another. Seeing that the situation was inexplicably out of control, some of them stopped pretending.

"Overthrow tyranny!"

"Save the demi-humans!"

"To avenge my father!"

"Haha, they're all mine!"

"Destroy the demi-humans! Humans are supreme!"

"Long live the Queen! Long live the Empire!"

In an instant, the brilliance of various magics and the roar of weapons erupted and intertwined in the hall, which forced those who originally wanted to keep their secrets to expose themselves in order to protect themselves, and the entire venue was thrown into chaos.

However, the ordinary guests who came out of mere curiosity quickly left.

As Kirk, who organized the auction, had predicted, those who harbored ill intentions towards the Blue Bloods and the Order have now come forward on their own.

Meanwhile, the mastermind behind all this, Kirk, the "Emperor" of the Blue Blood Gang, was looking down at the chaos from a secluded private room on the second floor, swirling a glass of red wine in his hand, his eyes sinister.

"Your Majesty, isn't this commotion a bit too big? There are far more people than we expected—" his subordinate asked nervously from the side.

"No rush." ​​Kirk snorted coldly, his gaze fixed on the black-robed man who had first launched the attack, his heart sinking slightly.

He recognized the man in black.

His exact identity remains unknown, but his black cloak adorned with a white deer head is enough to confirm that he is a member of the Cavendish family.

The black background with a white deer is the coat of arms of the Cavendish family, the oldest family in Britannia and also the oldest family of bibliographers.

For many years, they had remained aloof from worldly affairs, focusing for generations on the study of ethereal things like the Book of Illusions and the origin of the world. It's hard to imagine that they would come here, and be the first to eagerly jump out and seize the Book of Illusions.

This was truly something Kirk hadn't anticipated.

It's unclear which person transformed into the black robe, since no one in the hall was wearing one just now.

"They even caught a big fish, interesting—have the main force intercept him and try to catch him. I want to ask them what they're up to."

A large group of people dressed in black trench coats poured out of the stairwell. These people were originally intended by Kirk to be the last to finish up the work as an extreme demi-human liberation organization, but now that things have changed, such a setup is no longer necessary.

Amidst the chaotic chants in the hall below, it seems there really are members of the Demi-human Liberation Organization.

Of course, besides the Cavendish family, we also need to deal with other miscellaneous groups, but that should be the biggest fish tonight. As for the other small fry, we can just send some less elite forces to deal with them.

"Big sister, what should we do now?" Polina glanced around.

Lily naturally recognized the Cavendish family's signature black robes.

The fact that their family members were here already explained something and confirmed some of her past suspicions.

The current situation is not suitable for staying any longer. If we retreat now, we won't end up with nothing.

At that moment, other things came to mind.

She turned her gaze to the iron cages on the stage.

In the chaos, the buyers who had just bid on these demi-humans fled for their lives, and the guards who were originally on the stage also joined the melee to protect the Phantom Book. At this moment, no one cared about the demi-humans in the cages.

In this current environment, there's something I can do.

"Self-preservation," Lily said in a low voice, still as concise as ever. She then pointed to the iron cage on the platform, "to save people."

After Lily finished speaking, she took off her large hat and tore a part of her elaborate long dress to make it easier to move around.

As her hat was removed, a pair of silver-white wolf ears stood up from the top of her head, her pupils began to turn golden, and a large, fluffy tail emerged from behind her. Her rugged face was filled with a murderous aura: "Execute Tactic 3."

"Okay!" Polina was not surprised by Lily's change, simply assuming that she had possessed the "Book of Werewolves" and entered battle form.

For some reason, my older sister seems to particularly like this fantasy book—

The werewolf's wild explosive power was on full display at this moment. She moved through the chaos like a silver lightning bolt, rushing from the side and back to the iron cage on the stage. She used her hands, which had turned into claws, to pry open the bars of the cage. The metal-hard claws collided and rubbed against the bars, which were also made of metal, and sparks flew everywhere.

"Clang! Clang! Clang!"

The fox-eared girl in the cage tried to back away in fear, but she was unable to move an inch because her whole body was bound by chains.

"Don't be afraid." Lily pried open the bars, stepped into the cage, grasped the chains, and whispered to her, "I'm here to rescue you."

"Snap!"

She ripped the chains off.

The fox-eared girl stared wide-eyed at Lily, unable to believe what was happening before her eyes.

"Come out quickly!" Lily beckoned to her, then turned to destroy the next cage.

The second cage contained a rabbit-eared boy, and the third cage contained a werewolf woman and her child.

A series of shattering sounds exploded amidst the chaotic background noise, as chains and railings crumbled easily under Lily's claws.

After opening all the cages, she turned to face the sturdy stone wall of the auction house, gathered her magic in her right leg, and kicked the wall with a high whip kick.

A huge gap was forcibly ripped into the wall, revealing a sewer pipe leading to the outside world, the end of which still faintly shimmered with silvery moonlight.

"Get out of here."

Lily shoved a stunned demi-human girl into the gap, then turned and stood guard in front of it. The demi-human girl finally came to her senses and ran towards the exit. The other demi-humans also realized that she was being saved, and they all rushed towards the cave entrance.

When the fox-eared girl reached the cave entrance, she glanced back at Lily, her amber eyes filled with tears of gratitude.

"Thank you—" Her hoarse voice echoed through the sewers and reached Lily's ears.

"Hurry up!"

The fox-eared girl bit her lower lip, turned around, and disappeared into the silvery moonlight.

Seeing the demi-humans start to run away, Lily breathed a sigh of relief and prepared to order an evacuation to get away from this place of trouble as soon as possible, but suddenly felt a cold chill coming from behind her.

She suddenly dodged to the side, and a gleaming throwing knife grazed her shoulder before embedding itself in the wall.

She turned around and saw a veiled man behind her, holding a book, followed by several burly men, each carrying various weapons.

"Excuse me, His Majesty the Emperor has instructed that demi-humans like you should be dealt with first." The veiled man was quite polite.

Lily dusted herself off and pulled her top hat down a little.

Lily remained silent, only casting her gaze upon the chaotic crowd.

Polina and Roderick suddenly appeared from the chaotic crowd, standing behind the veiled man and his thugs. Together with Lily, the three of them formed a pincer movement, surrounding them.

Lily took a deep breath and closed her eyes.

When she opened her eyes again, her virgin eyes were glowing with a golden light.

The veiled man opened the book in his hand; the cover read: "A Modest..."

Proposal)

Suddenly, Lily felt an extremely cold will, seemingly devoid of any human emotion, forcefully enter her mind.
