Chapter 175 - No one leaves (1/2)

Two choppers descend on Seraphina's main headquarters. The one that was piloted by Wren and the other one with Rex. As soon as Seraphina and the rest left the helicopter, Riggs banter was the first they heard aside from the roaring rotor sound coming from the choppers.

”Damnit! I haven't had enough throwing rocks at those scoundrels!” Massaging his nape, he stretches it as if to ease the pain.

”How childish.” Venus sassed.

Seraphina kept silent in the midst of their conversation. When she had a glimpse of Leon's figure on the side of her eyes, she immediately pulled out a pistol the without further ado, she opened fire-- grazing his cheeks.

Her action immediately shuts everyone as their eyes widen in disbelief. It's been so long since they saw their boss being mad. Surely, Seraphina's temperament was unpredictable. But, when she got angry, there's no turning back. Fortunately, Leon is a comrade. Thus, he will probably receive punishment for his disobedience.

Leon used his thumb to wipe the slight wound on his cheeks before l_i_c_k_i_n_g the blood that taints his thumb.

”Erm, I better go grab some snacks~.” Riggs murmurs as he tries to sneak out. Alas, Tito's huge body block his way.

”No one leaves.” Tito profoundly stated. His usual gentleness was gone and only his solemn stature was left. It was as if he was on cue seeing Seraphina's mood. Indeed, Leon did anger her at some point. Despite that they can joke around Seraphina, that doesn't mean they can disobey her in any way -- especially on a mission.

After Seraphina grazed Leon, she immediately opens fire aiming at his other cheeks -- grazing it again. Alas, Leon didn't move a muscle as he stared back at Seraphina's jet black eyes. After the second bullet deliberately missed Leon, she fired again on his legs -- just wounding it, enough to make it bleed.

Seeing her precise marksmanship, Ace's eyes shimmer in awe. Hitting Leon was a piece of cake, but grazing her target just enough to make it bleed was harder than expected. On the other side, Riggs shakes his head -- feeling upset.

'Damn, I'll surely bring popcorn next time.' Riggs swore inwardly. Though their comrade was now under Seraphina's gunpoint, there's not a bit of pity or remorse seen on their expression. Instead, they sternly watch how things unfold.

The very reason why Tito wants them to witness this scenario to pose a warning to everyone -- they shan't disobey their boss, Luciano. Although it wasn't needed to witness how Seraphina punish Leon because before joining her and swore their oaths, they experience her wrath a couple of time. Alas, this only proves that Luciano might be a cool guy, but if they disobey or betray her, they should expect the worst.
