Chapter 309 - Just an eerie thought (1/2)
[Leon's side]
Ever since Leon interrupted and attacked the one of the largest gang in the town, the night of this auspicious town far away from Central City became more bustling at night knowing that the local gangs were taken custody.
Peering at the lights of the said town from afar while leisurely sitting at the thick branch of a tall tree, Leon opened a small chocolate bar and savor it with great appreciation. Since he had grown tired of going to the town and witness the never-ending cycle of the townsfolk habits, he would rather keep his peace.
”Goombah, what do you think the boss will do next?” Jack inquired.
Turning his head to the other branch near him, Jack was holding a can of beer was also leisurely sitting on a tree branch like he was sitting on a couch while a plastic of can beers sat on his lap. The news of Seraphina's grandfather reached them that very day of his death alas, they chose to not show themselves as they knew it wasn't the best choice they got.
Moreover, they would rather prepare the necessary arrangements for the upcoming plans Seraphina had in her mind. After all, even without receiving any concrete order about her enemies, all of them were well-aware that Seraphina didn't gather them for no reason.
”Who knows.” Leon retracted his gaze away from Jack and returned them to appreciate the lively town. In his mind, how nice would it be to turn this town into a ghost one? Having that sudden eerie idea, the side of his lips curled upward.
”Whatever you're thinking right now, forget about it. That will not happen… or rather it might happen but it will also be your tombstone.” Guessing exactly the murderous nature of Leon, Jack unenthusiastically muttered. By the tone of his voice, he wasn't trying to stop him or cheering him. He was just stating a fact or future facts. Knowing Seraphina, she's probably itching to dismember someone and if Leon would do something horrendous without her order, Jack was certain that he needed to prepare his burial attire.
Shaking his head, Jack glanced at Leon's indifferent expression as if he didn't hear his comments. 'This guy…' Jack was no words to Leon anymore. Despite having delicate features, Leon and Seraphina's profile are very much the same, delicate and harmless-looking that if not know any better, one will think that they can be pushed around.
Though they have a rather surprising long patience towards the ignorant ones especially people that don't have any connection with the underworlds, however, if touched their bottom lines, they could only hope for an easy death.
Throwing his thought about Seraphina and Leon's deceiving front at the back of his mind, Jack continued consuming his can of beer -- unafraid whether he'll free fall if ever he got drunk. After all, he knew his capabilities and limits. Also, to him, it's nice to inflict pain every once in a while to know if he's still alive.
”What a tedious night!” Jack exclaimed after salivating his throat by the cold and bitter beer.
