Chapter 172 - explosion (1/2)

”Any update on the last exchange?” Seraphina turns her attention to X who's leaning on his chair. She then saw him shakes his head as an answer.

”Tonight.” Rex utter with certainty.

Seraphina pondered for a moment before she took slow strides in front of the monitors. She taps rapidly on the other keyboard which causes the other monitors to display different location near where they retrieve the piece of blueprints and the other one where it was stolen.

Looking at the much larger map, Seraphina rubs her chin as studies the geography displayed on the screen. After some time, she smirks. X brows raised seeing his boss knowing smirk.

”Here.” Seraphina taps a few keys than the image of the map zoomed in. She added, ”It will be here.” She states triumphantly.

”We'll be in action tonight.”

”Yosh! That's what I like!” Riggs excitedly commented as he got up from his seat and left without uttering anything.

X: ”boss, how did you know the trade will take place there?”

”Just a hunch.” Seraphina shrugs with her eyes still fixed on the geography of the area. Alas, even if she was acting in nonchalance, no one opposes her or questions her. After all, Seraphina has a great mind and her instincts are always right. And even if her guess is wrong, they won't blame her because, in the end, she won't retreat without gaining benefits.

After some time, the left ones in the underground quarters are Seraphina, Rex, and Leon. Even X left to check his installed toys on their weapons and vehicles. Seraphina stares at the blueprint without any emotions.

”Boss, should I go too?” Leon inquired in his usual lifeless, lazy tone. He continues,

”But you didn't let me kiss you.”

Seraphina wants to ignore Leon as it's his normal habit to cling on her. Alas, for some reason, she felt displeased. Whether she thinks she was betraying her wifey or for any other reason. Regardless, Seraphina only let out a heavy breathe along with her annoyance.

”Leon,” Rex warns. Although Seraphina wasn't saying anything, Rex traced her disp_l_e_a_s_u_r_e. Hence, he intervenes before she says anything. Alas, Leon was unfazed as he shrugs in nonchalance.

”Leon, you have another task. Do you see this place? There's a little possibility that the real trade will be held in this place.” Seraphina commanded, diverting her attention to her main concern.
