Lust System: Conquering the World Beauties

Everyone was gathered in the center of the safehouse, freshly changed and cleaned up after last night's chaos. The air was heavy, not with tension this time, but with the weight of business. Lilith stood at the front, her boot shifting as she shifted her stance, hands folded neatly behind her back. Even when relaxed, she carried authority.

Liam stood at the back of the room, his arms folded across his chest, blue eyes fixed on her as she spoke. Beside him, Dickson leaned lazily against the wall, his posture casual, though his eyes roamed restlessly.

Lilith's voice cut through the silence, cool and commanding. "Today's plan is simple. Vanessa, Kelly — you'll follow Stormzy. he'll lead us straight to his serum plug."

Vanessa gave a small nod, her face sharp with focus. Kelly stood next to her, arms at her sides, her expression unreadable but clearly paying attention.

While Lilith continued outlining the details, Dickson leaned slightly toward Liam, his voice dropping to a whisper.

"You and Kelly did it, right?"

Liam's eyes didn't even move. He kept them on Lilith, his jaw set, saying nothing.

Dickson smirked, unfazed by the lack of response. "C'mon, don't give me that look. I'm an expert in this shit. I can see the way she looks at you this morning. Girl's glowing, man. Don't tell me I'm wrong."

Liam finally shifted, his gaze flicking to Dickson with a frown. His brows furrowed, his look sharp and confused, like — what the fuck are you even talking about? He didn't say a word, but the look alone said enough.

Before Dickson could add more, Lilith's voice cut clean across the room.

"Dickson."

He froze instantly, his face tightening, caught like a schoolboy being called out by a strict teacher. His lazy smirk vanished as he straightened his back, pretending to look serious.

Lilith's eyes locked on him. "You'll be the driver. Vanessa and Kelly will handle Stormzy on foot, but you'll make sure the car is ready and waiting."

Dickson's mouth fell open. "Hell no! Not this driver crap again!" He waved his hand dismissively. "Nah, I'm not doing that today."

The room fell silent. Even Kelly's head turned toward him. Lilith's expression didn't change at first, but the narrowing of her eyes was enough to make Liam shift slightly.

"What did you just say?" Lilith asked flatly, her tone dropping cold.

"I said I'm not doing it," Dickson repeated, standing a little straighter now. "I got plans today. Serious ones."

Lilith folded her arms across her chest, her weight shifting slightly to one side, and her stare sharpened. "Plans?"

"Yeah," Dickson said, shamelessly. "I'm going out to meet girls. Already ordered those pussies, paid for them upfront. There's no way I'm letting my money go to waste."

The silence that followed was deafening. Liam blinked, almost in disbelief at how bold the man was being. Vanessa glanced at Kelly, who raised a brow in quiet amusement.

Lilith, however, remained still. Then, slowly, her lips curled into an evil grin. It wasn't playful. It was the kind of grin that sent a cold chill down anyone's spine.

"So," she said, her voice like ice, "which one are you going to?"

Dickson's throat tightened instantly. He felt his balls shrivel just under the weight of her stare. He gulped hard, his bravado cracking. "O-of course… I was just joking," he stammered, his voice dropping. "I'll… I'll follow Vanessa and Kelly."

Lilith's grin didn't falter. She gave a small nod. "Good boy."

The tension eased slightly, though Dickson's face remained stiff. He muttered under his breath, low enough that only Liam could hear. "This is bullshit."

Liam didn't bother replying. He just gave him a side-eye glance that said it all — you did that to yourself.

Dickson clicked his tongue and leaned closer again. "Anyway, you're thinking about giving Ann and Kelly powers, aren't you?"

Liam kept his arms folded, staring forward, his expression unreadable. He stayed silent for a while before finally answering in a calm tone. "Even if I wanted to… I don't know if the machine still works. Maybe it was a one-time thing."

Dickson let out a dry laugh. "Whether it works or not, I'm following them. I'm done with Lilith threatening me with powers every damn day. If I'm gonna be her errand boy, I might as well level up too."

Liam tilted his head, arms still folded as he leaned lazily against the wall. His eyes had been following Lilith all this time as she arranged everyone's roles with her usual sharp precision. Finally, his voice cut through the room, calm but direct.

"What about me?" he asked.

Lilith turned, her golden-blonde hair shifting slightly as she gave him that cool, assessing stare. "You stay here," she said simply. "If we need you, we'll call. Same goes for Ann."

Ann, who had been quietly standing beside Liam, immediately frowned. "Wait—what do you mean same goes for me? I should come along. I can help too."

Lilith shook her head slightly, a subtle but firm gesture that carried more weight than words. Her expression made it clear that she wasn't entertaining an argument. "No."

Ann bit her lower lip, clearly wanting to push further, but Lilith raised her hand in a calm but commanding motion. The silent shake of her head was enough. Ann stopped, her arms crossing tightly as if she was holding her protest inside.

Lilith's attention shifted across the room, landing on Seo Yeon. "You'll be with me. We'll follow Kelly, Vanessa, and Dickson secretly. If things go wrong, we step in."

Seo Yeon froze as all eyes turned to her. Her voice cracked as she stuttered nervously. "M-me? But… I can't fight."

Lilith didn't blink. She didn't even show the smallest sign of irritation. She just shook her head slowly. "You don't need to know how to fight." Her tone was cold but decisive. "You only need to do exactly what I tell you when the time comes."

Seo Yeon's throat tightened, but she nodded faintly, lowering her gaze to avoid Lilith's piercing stare.

"Good." Lilith straightened and clapped her hands lightly, a sharp sound that signaled the end of discussion. "Let's move."

Everyone began filing out. Vanessa and Kelly were already in their sleek, casual outfits, ready to play their roles. Dickson dragged his feet, muttering under his breath, but still followed. Lilith led Seo Yeon out, not bothering to look back.

And just like that, the base grew quiet.

Only Liam and Ann remained.

For the first time this morning , the air didn't feel so tense. Liam sighed, his strong shoulders relaxing as he walked toward a chair in the corner. He dropped down into it heavily, then swung his leg onto the table, leaning back comfortably.

"This might not be so bad after all," he said lazily, his voice calm but carrying that low edge of amusement. "I get to rest while everyone else does the work."

He glanced at Ann, smirking slightly. "And I've got you here with me."

Ann frowned, her arms still folded, but the way his eyes locked on her made her heartbeat pick up. He had that dangerous calm in his expression again, the kind that always made her feel like she was caught in his orbit.

"Why are you looking at me like that?" she asked cautiously.

Liam tilted his head, his smirk widening just a little. "Like what?"

Ann unconsciously took a small step back, her body reacting before her mind could catch up. But it was too late. Liam's hand shot out fast, grabbing her wrist and pulling her toward him.

"Liam—" she gasped, but he didn't let her go. With one smooth pull, he dragged her down until she was sitting across his leg, perched against his thigh.

She blinked, startled, her body stiff as she tried to process how quickly he had moved her.

Liam looked at her, his deep blue eyes glinting with mischief. "It's just us here," he said, his tone low and suggestive. "Might as well have a little fun."

Ann's breath hitched. Her instincts told her she should protest, maybe slap his hand away, but the way he looked at her… it wasn't a request. It was an invitation wrapped in dominance.

Her lips parted slightly, but she didn't say anything.

Liam leaned back further in the chair, one hand resting firmly on her thigh.

Meanwhile, outside.

Dickson sat in the driver's seat of the black SUV, staring out the window with boredom written all over his face. He leaned against the door, chewing gum loudly as his eyes scanned the street.

Kelly and Vanessa were a few feet ahead, talking to a man who looked like he was in his late twenties. The guy had a rough edge about him—baggy clothes, chains, and a cocky grin that didn't fit his ugly face.

Dickson squinted, sizing him up. "So this is the Stormzy guy they've been talking about?" he muttered under his breath. "He's so fucking ugly."

Outside, Stormzy stood with his arms folded, four bodyguards looming behind him. He was speaking to Kelly in a smug, commanding tone.

"Listen," Stormzy said, his voice deep and arrogant. "When we get to my boss's place, you behave. No smart moves, no attitudes. You piss him off, the deal is done. Simple as that."

Kelly nodded quickly, keeping her expression calm. "Understood."

Stormzy jerked his chin toward the SUV. "Who the fuck is that guy inside staring at me?"

Kelly glanced back, then gave the most casual answer she could. "He's our driver."

Stormzy narrowed his eyes, glaring at the vehicle. "Driver, huh? Then why the fuck is he looking at me like that?" His voice grew louder, his arrogance bleeding through. "Hey! What the fuck are you looking at, bitch?"

Dickson blinked, his mouth opening in disbelief. For a moment, he thought maybe he misheard. But no—the insult rang clear. His irritation, already boiling from being dragged into this mission against his will, snapped.

He shoved the car door open halfway, leaning out with his voice raised. "Your mum's pussy, idiot!"

The street went dead silent.

Vanessa and Kelly froze, their eyes widening in shock. Both turned toward him at the same time, expressions screaming the same thought—was this idiot trying to ruin everything?

Stormzy's guards stiffened, their hands twitching as if ready to grab their weapons. Stormzy himself blinked once, then his expression twisted into anger.

Inside the SUV, Dickson slumped back against the seat again, muttering, "This mission's already bullshit anyway…"

Vanessa pinched the bridge of her nose, muttering under her breath, "I swear to God…"

Kelly forced a quick smile at Stormzy, desperate to contain the situation before it went completely sideways.
