Chapter 181 - Knock knock (1/2)
Since Dragon was losing his consciousness, he didn't witness Seraphina's action. The car was speeding to a certain destination. Though she doesn't know where they are going, she didn't care anymore. All she wants is for him to be safe and alive.
”Can't you drive a little faster?!” Seraphina shouted in distress -- feeling that their speed isn't fast enough. Dragon took two gunshots, hence, he might lose a lot more blood before reaching their destination.
However, the driver kept his silence. He was already on the max speed limit and can't go any faster. Alas, he couldn't complain because he could feel that she's speaking out of worry and anxiety. After all, she was Dragon's only woman and their future lady boss.
Numerous speeding cars took over the road, yet, there are no authorities raised the signal as if they let them passed Dragon's car unnoticed. When they are far from the city, the already several speeding cars multiplied.
Everyone excluding Seraphina noticed the overtaking cars. Surely, they are not from Dragon's organization which raised their vigilance to its peak. Dragon was injured and their top priority was to get him treated, immediately.
Seraphina, on the other hand, was too focused on taking off Dragon's suit blazer, hence, she was unaware of the occurrence on the road. The genuine leather interior seat was now smeared with his blood but she felt it was her own as her heart ached even more.
She had never been this worried to this level. The stinging pain inside her heart turns more torturous by the second.
”Ryu…” Seraphina called out but her voice cracked midway. She doesn't know why but seeing him in this kind of state, she felt helpless. So what if she was formidable and skillful? What's the use of her being the powerful Luciano if she can't even protect her loved ones?
'Pathetic' she subconsciously scoffs -- mocking herself.
Soon, the pain on her heart reaches her eyes, stinging it. For the first time in a long time, she felt like crying. Transparent liquid starts to form on the corner of her eyes. Alas, a sudden turn almost throws her and Dragon. Fortunately, years of wearing her fats made her a lot stronger, thus, she supports Dragon's body as she held on the car fixed handle.
”What the --” Just as Seraphina could curse out, another batch of battling gun reached her ears. She could see that the car's windows and the windshield cracked by the potency of the forced bullets. Fortunately, Dragon's vehicle was bulletproofed so the attacks are futile or else, she's afraid that this ambush will not only cost her life but also Dragon's.
