Zu Wan had no idea that they were being watched by enemies. He continued playing with Ella.
Mheera and her comrades were assessing them. They could tell that Zu Wan didn't possess any magical power as of now. This was a perfect opportunity to attack him.
"Mheera, should we launch a surprise attack?" Calec asked her, rubbing his knuckles. He wanted to see how long the demon god would last once he was attacked.
"No. Don't make a move yet," Mheera warned them.
"We need to find out if the demon god's daughter is here…"
The rest of the team nodded in agreement. They felt the thrill and excitement of meeting their mortal enemies.
After thirty minutes, Zhen-Zhen finally arrived at Tristan's condo unit. Mheera was shaken after seeing Zhen-Zhen.
Shino also felt the chill upon seeing her. "Mheera… that's her. The demon god's daughter."
Riyu gasped and said, "Oh she is pregnant!"
"Pregnant or not, we need to eliminate her," Calec said firmly.
"What do you think about this? Mheera?" Shiba consulted their leader.
Mheera was still lost in her thoughts. She could still remember that this woman was the enemy of Hannah, the one who put a demon curse on her.
Mheera couldn't understand why Liam was helping her. He was protecting Zhen-Zhen. She could still vividly remember his anger the moment she used the crystaline potion against her.
They were still waiting for her instruction when they felt a strong force. Their magic crystal suddenly shook, cracks appearing on the different parts.
"What is happening?" Riyu asked her comrades.
"She found us! She noticed us!" Shino shouted. They saw Zhen-Zhen looking at them through the crystal ball.
"Who are you?" Zhen-Zhen's cold voice was heard.
The chill ran down their spines after hearing her voice. She looked frightening at that moment. The guardian warriors stood frozen on their spots.
"She is still strong!" Shino mumbled anxiously.
"Let's retreat for now!" Mheera finally gave her command. She could also feel it. Zhen-Zhen was powerful.
Without further ado, Mheera and her team retreated. They were not yet ready to face the demon god's daughter.
Aside from that, Mheera needed to investigate Liam's connection to her. She just confirmed that Liam lied to her about killing the demon god's daughter. She was powerful and alive.
Meanwhile, Zu Wan and Ella were wondering why Zhen-Zhen suddenly paused for a moment as if she was talking to someone.
"Sister, are you talking to someone?" Ella asked her, tugging her hand.
Zhen-Zhen just smiled at her faintly. She instructed Miho to protect the vicinity so that Mheera and others couldn't spy on them again.
She felt that they already left. Zhen-Zhen glanced at her father. Zu Wan was giving her a questioning gaze.
"Is there something wrong Zhen-Zhen?"
Zhen-Zhen shook her head, giving him a reassuring smile. "It's nothing, Fa-Fa. I just felt something strange."
"Okay, I understand. Come, let's eat. Ella has been waiting for you."
Zu Wan guided Zhen-Zhen and Ella to the dining area. Her mind was still occupied by the strangers. There were five of them. She was worried that those she encountered were guardian warriors.
'Are they targeting Fa-Fa or me?'
Meanwhile, Mheera and her comrades teleported to a faraway place. They were shocked by the power Zhen-Zhen showed them.
She even sensed that they were being watched by a spying spell. At that certain moment, Mheera realized that fighting her head-on would not benefit them. They needed to come up with a plan.
"What are we going to do now?" Calec broke the deafening silence by raising this question.
"We need to focus on their weakness so that we can defeat them!" Mheera responded promptly.
She already had a plan in mind on how to fight and defeat Zhen-Zhen and Zu Wan.
"Did you still remember the story of how our ancestors defeated the demon god? We can also apply the same here!" Riyu also expressed her opinion.
"Oh, right! That woman loves her husband so much. While the demon god is fond of the kid name Ella." Calec told them his observation.
"We should target the demon god. He doesn't have power as of now." Mheera chimed in.
"Okay, let's do that. How about the guardian leader? Are we not telling him about this?" Riyu's eyes filled with curiosity.
"No! We have to hide this from him," Mheera said, clenching her fists.
She was still hurt knowing that Liam lied to her. She didn't know him anymore.
"Let's start planning our next move. Now that we confirmed they were alive, we have to eliminate them."
*****
Meanwhile, at Leo's villa, Liam was still trying to figure out what he should do. He kept on thinking about protecting Zhen-Zhen from Mheera.
After contemplating for a while, he made up his mind. He would go back to their world if that was the only way he could separate Zhen-Zhen and Mheera.
Zhen-Zhen would happily living together with her father, pretending to be ordinary humans. This is what he wanted, seeing her happy.
He could still feel the guilt of putting Zhen-Zhen into deep sleep during her childhood years.
Liam and Leo arrived at the mansion.
"Leo, I have decided. I'm going back to our world."
Leo was taken aback when he heard that. Liam was willing to sacrifice his own happiness just to protect Zhen-Zhen.
"But I need time to say goodbye to her properly."
Leo just nodded his head in agreement. "Ok, do that. If that's what you think is the right thing to do. Mheera will be happy to hear that." Leo patted Liam's shoulder.
Deep inside, he was sad knowing that his friend was leaving. But he needed to respect his decision.
They just entered the house when Mheera showed up. There was an indescribable expression on her face.
"Where have you been? Can we talk?" Liam approached her.
Leo excused himself, giving the two some privacy to talk.
Mheera just stared at Liam's eyes with a blank expression. He couldn't figure out what she was thinking right now.
"Are you still upset with me?" Liam softly asked her.
Mheera tried to maintain her brave front. But deep inside, she was heartbroken. She felt like Liam betrayed her, all of them including the guardian warriors.
She was dying to know his reason but she couldn't ask him right now or else, her plan would be ruined. She was afraid that Liam would protect the demon god and his daughter again.
But she wanted to test him. "Liam, where is the man who looks like the demon god? When I visited their address, the house was already empty. You were the last one monitoring them."
Liam was at a loss for words. He didn't know what to say since he intentionally hide them from Mheera.
"I'm sorry Mheera. I was so occupied with some other things that I lost them." Liam said as an alibi.
Mheera just flashed her faint smile but she was clenching her fists. Liam lied again.
"What do you want to talk about?" Mheera changed the topic.
Liam moved closer to Mheera as he held her shoulders. "I think you are right. We should go back to our original world."
Mheera fell silent upon hearing that. She looked at him with disbelief. She didn't know what changed his mind.
"Why? Why did you change your mind?"
Liam lowered his gaze, afraid that Mheera would see his real intention- To protect Zhen-Zhen.
"I just realized that I don't belong here. This is not our real world. So give me time. I will just fix everything here before leaving."
Mheera smiled inwardly. She also needed time to kill Zhen-Zhen and the demon god first before going back to their world.
Everything seemed like falling into her plans. "Okay. I will give you time. After that, we will go back."
Mheera hugged Liam. This was her only consolation despite his betrayal. At least, he agreed on going back with them. All she had to do now was kill the demon god and his daughter.
Liam must not know the truth. She should be careful from now on. She already mobilized her comrades, giving them different tasks.
It was just a matter of time and a fight between her team and the demon god would happen. She was looking forward to that.
She also wanted to avenge her friend, Hannah. Zhen-Zhen was the one who destroyed her life. As a sign of gratitude, she would kill Zhen-Zhen for her.
Mheera lost her rationality. She was jealous because Liam betrayed them because of Zhen-Zhen, the demon god's daughter.
She just wanted to kill her and end everything. Then they would go back to normal. A peaceful world without the demon god and his daughter.
Liam didn't notice the sly smile appearing on Mheera's face because he was hugging her. If he only knew, Mheera was scheming again against his will. Would Liam be able to stop her? Could he protect Zhen-Zhen this time? Or the same mistake would happen?
