Chapter 240 - Hes not mute, I made him one. (1/2)
”Bad news?!” Riggs' eyes widen -- not believing his ears. Though he must admit that for the past days, he find Seraphina was 'quite' attractive in some odd ways, he would rather root her to the gentle, prince charming than to someone like him from the underworld albeit impossible to happen either way.
This time, Rex answered after deep contemplation. ”He might be. His name was written in the note the dragon underling gave,” he affirmed. In spite that Rex doubted the note that was handed to him, alas, if Wren felt uncomfortable around the man named Liam Jin, then probably, there is something about the man that they haven't discovered yet.
”Don't tell me you will believe the words that our prospect enemy say? Ah, right, he's mute so to be precise, whatever he writes.” Riggs sassed in ridiculed. In retrospect, though he finds Liam Jin a soft type of guy, at least, aside from showing his affection to Seraphina, he hadn't done anything that can harm her. Unlike Seraphina who only used him to her own benefits.
By this time, Leon passed by them, he corrected without halting in his tracks, ”He's not mute -- I made him one.”
Riggs was rendered speechless hearing Leon's last remarks.

Reaching one of the deepest prison-like dungeons beneath the grandiose mansion, Seraphina's perilous gaze landed on the person being held inside the bars. Without further ado, she friskily unlocks the rusting gate making a creaking sound that was akin to the gates of hell being opened.
There, Wesley We's pair of hands and feet were chained that connect to the wall. His situation is akin to a prisoner in the medieval times that commits an unforgivable crime to the nation.
Sensing that someone else presence, Wesley slightly raised his head to see a beautiful maiden standing before him. Alas, despite her ethereal pure beauty, her pair of eyes were devoid of pure intention and only cruelty could be traced in it.
Despite that Wesley We wasn't completely sober from the drug he injected earlier, her presence alone cannot be taken lightly and raised all the red alarms inside his head.
”Who --”
”Wesley We, you don't know how much trouble you put me in.” Seraphina abruptly interrupts his obvious inquiry as she spats her words.
