The Billionaire's Last Obsession series 215 Summary Lillian fiercely fought off six men dressed in black who ambushed her in a grimy alley. Despite her skill and determination, a sudden kick knocked the wind out of her, and just as one attacker moved in for a lethal strike, a mysterious man named Unno appeared, intervening with lightning speed and turning the tide of the battle. After defeating the assailants, Lillian recognized Unno as an agent sent by Sebastian to protect her, though he refused to disclose any information about Sebastian's whereabouts.
Examining the fallen attackers, Lillian discovered a disturbing sight beneath their skin-slithering parasites known as the "beauty's curse." These creatures amplified the host's strength and stamina but eventually consumed their will, turning them into puppets controlled by another. To reveal the parasites, Lillian cut her own wrist, allowing the writhing creatures to spill out. She then used a special liquid to dissolve the cursed bodies, leaving Unno both shocked and impressed by her fearlessness and resolve.
Back at the Golden Coast, Lillian cleansed herself from the blood and grime, trying to calm her nerves with strawberry ice cream. She suspected the attackers were under the influence of a drug linked to Radovia, a place known for dangerous experiments, but she remained uncertain who had sent them. As a storm raged outside, Lillian's uneasy sleep was shattered by a sudden lightning flash, prompting her to try contacting Sebastian-only to find she couldn't reach him. Panicked and desperate, Lillian hurried to Unno's door and knocked urgently.
When he opened, she stood there, wide-eyed and searching, signaling that the danger was far from over and that she needed answers and protection more than ever. Continue Regular Chapter Reading Below Chapter 215: The Ambush Lillian stood her ground fiercely, grappling with the six men clad in black who surrounded her. Her muscles burned with exertion as she parried and dodged, refusing to give an inch. Yet, in one fleeting moment of distraction, a brutal kick crashed into her abdomen, knocking the wind from her lungs.
As one attacker surged forward with ruthless speed, aiming a swift, merciless blow, a sudden flicker of blue light ignited at Lillian's fingertips. She was just about to unleash it when a dark figure blurred past her, moving with lightning speed. Startled, Lillian froze for a heartbeat, caught off guard by the unexpected arrival. But there was no time to hesitate-the battle shifted instantly. The momentum swung in their favor. Without missing a beat, she lunged back into the fray, renewed with fierce determination.
Within moments, the six assailants lay defeated, sprawled across the grimy alley floor. The man who had intervened stood silently, his expression cold and unreadable, his breath steady. "Unno," Lillian said, surprise threading her voice. He inclined his head in a respectful nod. "Ms. Sinclair, the master sent me to protect you. He instructed me not to reveal myself unless absolutely necessary." His tone was careful, measured-Unno understood better than anyone just how critical Lillian was to his master.

"Sebastian sent you," she said softly, already knowing the answer but needing to hear it confirmed. Unno gave a single, solemn nod. "Yes." Her eyes narrowed thoughtfully. "Do you know where Mr. Whitmore is now?" "That is not information we subordinates are entitled to," Unno replied, his voice steady and courteous. Seeing that he would reveal nothing more, Lillian let the question drop. Instead, she crouched beside one of the fallen attackers and tugged at the edge of his clothing. Her breath caught as she saw something moving beneath his skin-slithering along his veins like a living shadow.
Shock flared in her eyes. Blue's voice echoed sharply in her mind: *It's the beauty's curse. Once the host dies, they claw their way out, desperate to find a new body to inhabit.* Unno watched silently, stunned, as Lillian calmly drew a slender blade. Without hesitation, she sliced across her own wrist. Small, wriggling parasites spilled onto the ground, twisting and squirming. Even as a seasoned warrior, Unno felt his stomach churn at the sight. But Lillian remained unflinching. She skewered one of the creatures cleanly on her blade and lifted it close, studying it with razor-sharp focus.
"Ms. Sinclair... what exactly are those?" Unno asked, forcing the question past the queasiness rising in his throat. "They're a curse," she said evenly, eyes locked on the creature. "They multiply a person's strength tenfold and grant near-limitless stamina. But within a month, the host loses all sense of self-becoming nothing more than a puppet, controlled by another." As the last parasite tore free, the corpse visibly shriveled, collapsing inward like air escaping a balloon. Both stood frozen, absorbing the grim truth: the worms had been feeding on the blood all along.
Lillian methodically checked the other bodies. Each was identical-infested and cursed. From her backpack, she withdrew a small bottle and poured a clear liquid over the corpses. Before Unno could react, the bodies began to dissolve, melting into slick pools of blood and nothingness. Unno stared, wide-eyed and unsettled. This girl... she was truly formidable. Noticing his gaze, Lillian's lips curved into a sharp, almost wicked smile. "What? Planning to stick around and clean up?" Her voice was teasing, cool and confident as she brushed past him and strode toward the alley's exit.
Unno snapped out of his daze and hurried after her. Back at the Golden Coast, Lillian peeled off her bloodstained clothes and stood beneath the hot shower until every trace of grime and stench was washed away. Only after drying off and slipping into a soft robe did she emerge from the bathroom. From the freezer, she retrieved a cup of strawberry ice cream. The cold, sweet flavor soothed the lingering nausea, filling her senses and grounding her restless mind. Those men had clearly been under the influence of some drug.
Geo had mentioned that Radovia was the only one experimenting with such compounds-so these attackers had to be Radovia's operatives. But who had sent them? Outside, the storm raged on, lightning slashing across the sky. Lillian tossed and turned in restless sleep, her dreams jagged and uneasy. A sudden crack of lightning illuminated the room, jolting her awake. Her heart pounded fiercely in her chest. The gnawing unease inside her intensified. Without hesitation, she grabbed her phone and dialed Sebastian's number-but the call wouldn't connect. Panic surged through her veins.
Throwing the covers aside, she crossed the room in swift strides and yanked open her door. Her knuckles rapped sharply against the neighboring door, the sound echoing down the quiet hallway. Within seconds, the door swung open. Unno blinked in surprise to see her standing there, eyes wide and searching. Conclusion The chapter closes on a tense and uncertain note, capturing Lillian's fierce resilience and the shadowy dangers that relentlessly pursue her.
Despite the brutal ambush and the horrifying revelation of the cursed parasites, she remains unshaken, embodying a blend of strength and sharp intelligence that sets her apart. The arrival of Unno and the mysterious protection ordered by Sebastian deepen the intrigue, while the storm outside mirrors the turmoil within her restless mind. Yet beneath the surface of this chaos, an undercurrent of vulnerability pulses through Lillian's actions-the desperate call to Sebastian that goes unanswered, the urgent knock on Unno's door-revealing her isolation in a world rife with unseen threats.
As Lillian confronts the chilling reality of these parasitic worms and their devastating influence, the tension between her and Unno is bound to intensify, revealing more about their complex alliance and the enigmatic master who commands from the shadows. Emotions will run high as Lillian's desperate attempt to reach Sebastian is met with silence, hinting at a looming crisis that could shatter the fragile balance of power. The storm outside mirrors the turmoil within, setting the stage for unexpected confrontations and difficult choices.
