Chapter 37: A Club
Lyca was unaware that her challenge towards Young Master Xie had already gathered the attention of everyone in the school. Lyca was after all, the first student who had the guts to challenge someone from the council.
Even the student council members were surprised to see Young Master Xie being challenged by someone from the Huang Family. This uproar was not only because of the challenge but the prize and even the type of challenge issued. A poison? A non fatal one at that. What kind of poison can that be? Surely, the Huang Family did not want to offend the whole Xie Family by targeting their young master right?
Everyone immediately compared the two families and found out that when it comes to power and wealth the two were almost close to equal on the outside. However, most of them know that the Huang Family was weaker than the Xie Family from the Xie City.
The students couldn't stop themselves from discussing Lyca's bold move. However, when they saw Lyca challenging another person just after she challenges Young Master Xie, they started thinking there should be a problem somewhere.
Five millions worth of diamonds? Wasn't that too extravagant for a prize like this? Was it because… the poison was dangerous? After all, she wouldn't name it a poison if it wasn't, right?
Lyca on the other hand was unaware that everyone already knew her name inside the school. She was calmly walking towards the two floor building that was the office of the student council members. And yes, it was the whole building with thirty rooms, five suits and a gym. This was one of the advantages of becoming a member.
A man with a black suit and white gloves led her to the office where the council discussed their affairs.
"Miss Lyca Huang is here." The man announced as he opened the door. After leading Lyca inside, the man bowed and left without saying anything. The strong smell of a flower immediately assaulted her senses. Lyca frowned. She hated that smell.
"Lyca!" It was Huang Ying. She was wearing a black pant suit, showcasing her curves. She immediately approached Lyca and gave her a tight hug. "The Zhang Family has a spot in the student council. Your cousin Zhang Zhi took the spot from his elder brother." She explained before she ushered Lyca to sit beside her. "Oh. I'm sure you already know everyone here, right?" a gentle smile was on her face.
Lyca on the other hand was already looking at the people inside the room. Four males and one female, all in their early twenties, all beautiful like a flower. Is this some sort of a club where one should be beautiful to be able to join? "No." Lyca answered. Aside from Young Master Xie and her cousin Zhang Zhi, she didn't know the other people here.
Obviously, everyone was surprised by her honestly. Who doesn't know the members of the Student Council?
"It seems that we are not as famous as we originally thought." The man who was sitting on the table spoke. He flipped his long straight hair before he started walking towards Lyca. "I am from the Xiao Family." He said as he held Lyca's hand. "I am twenty three this year, Pisces, my favorite color is white and you can call me Ken. And yes… I am looking for my Barbie's." He slowly brought her hand into his lips.
"Oh." Lyca said as she pulled her hand away from him. What a weird bred, she thought. Her gaze then traveled toward the other people in the room.
Huang immediately cleared her throat. "This is Young Master Long from the Long Family." Huang Ying introduced the man with a black sleek hair before pointing at the man next to him. "Young Master Xie is here too. Of course, your cousin and this is Zhang Zhi's fiance, Young Miss Ling, Ling Nana."
Contrary to Ken Xiao's action, the other three men didn't shake Lyca's hand while Ling Nana just nodded and smiled. Seeing this, Lyca looked at Huang Ying. "Why did you call?"
"Oh… nothing much. I just wanted to check if you like the suite room that you were staying in." Huang Ying's face was totally different than when she was calling Lyca a lazy woman during Old Man Huang's birthday.
"Oh. I'm good." Lyca said before she gave a meaningful smile at her lab rat, Young Master Xie.
"Really? I heard you already challenged someone?" Huang Ying said, making Lyca nod in response. She wasn't sure why these people were here while Huang Ying was talking to her.
"Mrs. Zhang, Miss Huang already challenged our Young Master Xie. She wants him to drink a poison for five million in diamonds." It was Ken Xiao. He sat next to Lyca, a huge smile was on his face. "Tell me Miss Huang… what kind of poison does Young Master Xie need to drink for this five million prize?"
A snake. That was the only word that Lyca could think of while looking at this Young Master Ken Xiao. He literally looked like a devious snake. Now that the man was close, she could clearly see his pale skin and green eyes which only reminded Lyca of a snake. How could someone resemble a snake so much? "Something I made." She answered and turned her attention back to Xie Jun.
"And it is not fatal, yes?" This time, Long Yi asked. Just like everyone else, he was also speechless when he saw the challenge that Lyca actually issued against Young Master Xie.
"No. Not fatal." Of course, it was not fatal. She was planning to give Young Master Xie her new Gentle size poison! This was his punishment for scheming against Lyca's injured translator. Of course, this poison would not show its effects in the next few weeks but she was already planning on adding something else to make Young Master Xie faint in a matter of seconds.
"And I heard you also challenge the Young Master who challenged your bodyguard?" Long Yi asked.
"Hmmm."
"Is it the same poison?"
"No." She shook her head. Did these people think that they could harm her translator, researcher and future assistant?
"It's still not fatal?"
Lyca looked at Long Yi for a few seconds before she spoke. "Not sure." This is the first time that she would test the poison. Who knows if its fatal or not? Lyca laughed inwardly when she saw the dark expression on everyone's face.
