Chapter 271 - you look poor (1/2)
If anyone could comprehend and analyze Seraphina's dangerous action, Wren could clearly understand it. All the fiasco of luring all her enemies at the same time could prove his conclusion; Seraphina will drag them all to her death.
Though he was drunk last night, the moment he remembered her spatted words in her drunken state, Wren's mind functioned in a speed of lighting and speculated about her further plans and reasoning.
In the end, he came to the conclusion that Seraphina was on a suicide mission which made him agitated and worried at the same time. Knowing Seraphina, granting that she was never afraid of death and given their dangerous standing -- all of them were well-versed that they might die the next day.
However, this time, it's not the same case because Seraphina would never lure every underworld enemies she had. After all, she is the type of person that wanted to have fewer casualties she could. Hence, if she ever caught up in a bigger mess -- the biggest lost is her; their leader.
”You think too much.” Alas, Seraphina kept her nonchalant demeanor and shrugged Wren's accusation without batting an eye. Just then, Rex arrived bringing some casual shirts and shorts that being sold nearby. Fortunately, Rex is a reliable companion. Without a word, he threw it one paper bag to Seraphina and the other one with Wren on the back seat before starting the engine.
After Seraphina and Wren change their clothes in the nearby public toilet, the corner of his lips twitched as Seraphina wear the same design outfit as his. Both were wearing a souvenir shirt from the island and beach shorts with the same design. If anyone sees them, they will assume that they are both country bumkin wearing matching clothes.
”You look poor.” Seraphina uttered with disdain which made Wren gasped in disbelief. For god sake, they are wearing the same clothes how can she tell him that?
”You're wearing the same clothes!”
”Eh? Why does mine look better?” flaunting her beauty and shamelessness, Seraphina acted ignorant like she always does. Alas, the amused smirk beneath her jet black eyes were too evident to not notice by Wren.
Just as Wren would lash out at Seraphina's bullying, the sound of the honking car from their ride reached them which made their head to Rex ever inexpressive profile.
”Tch.” cl_i_c_k_i_n_g his tongue in annoyance, Wren stomped his way to the back seat of the car while Seraphina cheerfully skipped her steps to the front passenger seat. The moment Wren entered the black expensive sedan, he sassed.
”Rex, is this the best clothes you can find here?!”
”Good Lord, forgive this ingrate.” Seraphina who was entering the vehicle slightly shakes her head as she heard Wren's protests the moment she opened the car door. Rex who was under Wren's complains didn't utter a word as he unrestrainedly stepped on the pedal and sped away.
Seraphina, on the other hand, giggled as she was prepared and buckled her seatbelt the very instant she sat on the seat. After all, Rex would rather respond with his action instead of bantering with Wren's edgy attitude.
