Chapter 359 - Its a f*cking trap! (1/2)

Dragon looked away and clear his throat seeing her smile like the way she does two years ago. For as shameless as him, his reaction was rather out of character. He felt somewhat self-conscious and a little… embarrass. Moreover, he retrained himself from pouncing the woman his heart d_e_s_i_r_ed.

Scratching the back of his head, Dragon asked, ”Transfer his daughter, I'll give Max a heads up.” With that said remarks, Dragon scurried away like a bolt of lightning. Surely, Seraphina's sudden change of heart caught him off guard.

In his perspective, it's a f*cking trap! She knew that if she responded this way, Dragon might lose his mind and do something unforgivable! Hence, he left her alone without a second glance. He needed to have a full retreat to think of his next grand plan, or else, if he didn't, he'll surely lose and pay a huge price -- worse, he'll start from scratch once again.

”She's stepping up her game, sh*t!” Dragon grumbled as he made his way in the bas_e_m_e_nt where X literally live.

Seeing him flee, Seraphina lightly let out a chuckle; which vanished several seconds after. For some reason, she felt grateful that Dragon was there -- to lighten up the mood. God knows he was never the clown guy or anything near that.

He's ruthless, cold-blooded, and ambitious. Alas, now he's acting out of character. Seraphina knew that it was also his defense mechanism to keep his sanity intact. To her knowledge, being in the underground world for too long plays a huge part in one's mind. For example, to her, even though she despised and she was against it at first, alas, being entangled even the slightest in the underworld was like a permanent chain; there's never an escape.

Not to mention, if you have the baddest luck just like her and Mariel, you'll bump into someone that will drag you to the pits of hell. The only difference between Mariel Min and her was that the old Luciano was a clever and heartless man.

He would seem ignorant on the surface but Seraphina was well-versed how scheming that head of his. If only he's not that capable enough, she already quit being Luciano and regained the freedom she had before.

Alas, that is not the case. Luciano would not stop even if she begged him to. He would always find a reason for her to stay; no matter what it takes. Seraphina never knew his exact reason why, but, she doesn't care anymore.

Her situation back then and now had a vast difference. She now has reliable subordinates that would fight alongside her, hence, she must take responsibility for everything she does as she doesn't want anyone of them to die before her very own eyes because of her incompetence.

Therefore, the inexplicable feelings she had with Dragon, she decided to set it aside for now. What her heart d_e_s_i_r_e wasn't important as long as the family that left -- meaning, her subordinates, would live a peaceful life after the war she was about to partake in, were settled.

To achieve her somewhat delusional goal, Seraphina must be more careful about every step she would take. She must think that she was walking on a delicate surface and one wrong step -- she'll lose one or two confidants, which she doesn't want to happen.
