When he heard Lilith’s words, Ian was stunned at first, then quickly came to his senses.
So Lilian had already told Lilith everything?
When Lilith revealed Lilian’s true identity, Ian had already figured it out.
In that case, there was nothing left to hide from Lilith, was there?
With that thought, Ian spoke up.
“If that’s the case, then I’d like to ask you both for a favor.”
“Just say it, Brother-in-law. Whatever you need our help with, we’ll do our best to help you.”
Lilith patted her chest as she said this to Ian.
After all, Ian was her lifesaver.
If he hadn’t appeared and cured her illness, she might still be suffering from that pain even now.
Thinking back to the torment of that illness, Lilith shuddered.
She didn’t want to experience it a second time.
So when Ian cured her, she became extremely grateful to him.
If Ian ever needed her help with anything, she would give it her all.
After receiving Lilith’s affirmative answer, Ian spoke with relief.
“I want you to ask your sister to find out the day the Demon Race plans to burn the grain.”
“The day they burn the grain?”
After being bombarded with information from Lilian over the past few days, Lilith also knew that this was an activity the Demon Race would soon carry out.
And the highest person in charge of this activity seemed to be her sister, Lilian.
Even though she knew about it, Lilith didn’t understand why Ian was asking.
“I can ask around, but Brother-in-law, what do you need to know that day for?”
Although Lilian had told Lilith the date of the grain burning before, Lilith hadn’t paid attention at the time, so she didn’t actually know when the Demon Race would burn the grain.
Unable to suppress her curiosity, she asked Ian.
“Haven’t you heard about the current situation in Far East City these past few days?”
Ian asked in confusion at Lilith’s question.
In his view, the current food crisis in Far East City was the most important concern for every resident.
And Lilith, as a resident of Far East City, didn’t know about this?
“Lilith doesn’t know.”
Lilith played cute.
Looks like Lilian might have been protecting her too well.
Seeing Lilith’s expression, Ian thought to himself.
Then he began to explain to Lilith.
“It’s nothing much, really. Far East City’s current grain reserves can only last for about a month. Within this month, I have to find a way to get other food supplies.”
Ian said casually, as if these were trivial matters.
“Is that so?”
After hearing Ian’s words, Lilith rubbed her chin and said.
“So, Brother-in-law, are you planning to seize the grain the Demon Race intends to burn?”
Lilith guessed Ian’s intentions and said it directly.
After all, by combining Far East City’s current food shortage with Ian’s inquiry about the Demon Race’s grain burning, it was easy to figure out Ian’s plan.
And Ian, having his thoughts guessed, admitted it generously.
“Yes, I want to seize the grain the Demon Race plans to burn.”
In Ian’s eyes, the Demon Race burning grain was an extremely wasteful act.
Back when he played the game, he often thought that rather than letting the Demon Race burn the grain, he might as well grab it and use it for the Human Race.
So when Far East City fell into a food crisis, the first idea that came to his mind was to rob the Demon Race’s grain.
Hearing Ian’s frank admission, Lilith frowned.
This wasn’t something she could decide on her own.
After all, she didn’t know much about the specific situation within the Demon Race.
If someone else had made this request, she would have refused no matter what.
But since it was Ian proposing it, that was different.
After all, Ian was their benefactor.
Helping him with this plan would not only repay the favor but also help the Human Race fight against the Demon Race.
For the sisters Lilith and Lilian, this was a win-win situation, killing two birds with one stone.
So Lilith had no reason to reject Ian’s request.
She also believed that her sister wouldn’t refuse Ian’s reasonable request.
So she could take the lead and agree to Ian’s request on her sister’s behalf.
“Since you’ve already guessed my intentions, you’ll help me, right?”
Ian liked dealing with smart people.
At least he didn’t have to spell things out too directly.
And talking to smart people wasn’t as tiring.
He hadn’t said much before Lilith saw right through him, saving him the trouble of explaining.
As for whether Lilith and Lilian would agree to help him—
Ian wasn’t worried at all.
From what he knew about Lilian, she would definitely agree to his request.
“Okay, I…”
Just as Lilith was about to agree to help Ian with his plan to seize the Demon Race’s grain, she suddenly stopped talking.
“You what?”
Ian was puzzled, not understanding why Lilith had suddenly stopped.
He had thought Lilith was about to agree, but then she suddenly clamped her mouth shut.
Was Lilith going to refuse him?
Ian wondered in his heart.
No way, she definitely wouldn’t refuse me.
Ian comforted himself.
Meanwhile, Lilith was also having an intense inner struggle at that moment.
“No, it’s nothing. I just thought of something good.”
Lilith replied after hearing Ian’s words.
“What good thing?”
Ian intended to get to the bottom of it.
After all, this was the only way he could think of to gather enough grain.
He absolutely couldn’t afford to fail.
But what Lilith had in mind was different from what Ian was thinking.
Just now, when she was about to agree to Ian’s request, a brilliant idea suddenly popped into her head.
That was to make Ian agree to go on a date with her sister for a day, as a condition for agreeing to his request.
After all, she had already planned to set her sister up with Ian.
But before, she had lacked the opportunity to bring them together.
Now that Ian needed something from her, even though it was a bit underhanded, Ian would understand, right?
Lilith thought this to herself, and the corners of her mouth unconsciously curled into a smile.
“Brother-in-law, go on a date with my sister tomorrow. If you can do that, we’ll agree to your request.”
When she heard Lilith’s words, Ian was dumbfounded.
He really couldn’t understand what his request had to do with going on a date with Lilian.
And outside the wooden cabin, the two women hiding there were also stunned.
They could only occasionally catch bits and pieces of the conversation inside.
When they heard the words “tomorrow” and “date,” they instinctively wanted to rush into the cabin and demand an explanation from Ian.
But in the end, they held back.
After all, it was someone else’s house, and barging in wouldn’t be appropriate.
