Chapter 168 - Good mor--noon? (1/2)

”Contact Max if there is any progress.” Dragon's authoritative voice commanded before nonchalantly left the premises.

Its been years that this project was on-going and if it was a success, domineering the world will be a piece of cake. His relentless ambition is like a bottomless pit. Moreover, now that he has someone to protect, he wanted to build a place for her safety in this corrupt and dangerous world.

Dragon left the premises without a care in the world as he knew the devil's eyes were activated that blinds Luciano's god's eye -- keeping Dragon safe for now. Since his relationship with Seraphina was now official, he's taking great efforts to keep his safety. Furthermore, he doesn't want her to become a widow before she knew it.

Unbeknownst to his knowledge, when his ride exited the facility's vicinity, Seraphina was dilly-dallying on the side of the road. Although his car was speeding, she caught the glimpse of his plate number.

Seraphina's brows knitted seeing the familiar license plate. She can't be mistaken as she memorized Dragon's car plate number.

”What is he doing here?” she murmurs audibly. Since the only place this road leads is either a deserted place or the lab facility, she can't help but ponder. Alas, love must have blind her as she didn't dwell on the matter any longer.

”Well, it's a good thing that he didn't see me.” Seraphina sighs in relieve before starting her motorbike and sped away.

[the next day]

Dark circles around her eyes were visible. Though Seraphina already put the matter on the back of her head on why Dragon was in the facility, alas, just as she wants to sleep, her mind won't stop functioning; questioning herself over and over again -- causing her to stay awake throughout the night.

”Damn, this won't do!” Just as she cursed out, a doorbell sound resonated inside her apartment. Seraphina drags her body to open the door. Since she decided to stay in this almost forgotten place, she concluded that it must be the landlady.
