Chapter 360 - The person who justifies the word foul-mouthed (1/2)
”Ye -yes, sir!” Tuna sluggishly stood with great effort as he brought himself to stand with that oversized body of his. He was already thankful enough to escape death and doesn't want to be an eyesore to this underbosses.
On the other hand, Mariel Min was still in his stupor as he stuttered the sentence 'natural death' over and over again. Seeing this, Jack shook his head as he could not believe that the person with a complete determination and unbending courage was now akin to a deranged person.
”I can't believe the group of crazies added another mental person.” Jack scoffed as he entered the infirmary -- gave up on the two weirdest men he had seen. Tito placed his gigantic hand that partially covered Mariel Min's slender shoulder.
”Don't worry about it. What the boss meant is that no one could touch her -- she would only let her illness be her cause of death. Also, your daughter will surely receive the best treatment in the world if that man agreed which I'm sure he would.” Tito smiled in reassurance.
Indeed, Seraphina's reassurance has always been like that. She never played the role of a saint and won't drop sugar-coated promises that were pleasing to the ears. Alas, that 'natural death' she swore -- she'll surely honor it and won't let anyone touch Mariel Min's daughter. Furthermore, with Dragon's backing and known influence, his daughter would be the safest individual in this chaotic world.
”I-is that the truth?” Mariel Min's lower lips trembled as tears formed on the corner of his eyes. Just a little push and he could cry his heart out from gratefulness. It might be a little odd but to him, even though he was now an 'official' mob under Seraphina, it might be the greatest decision he had made; his daughter's medical treatment was secured!
”Boss Tito, Boss Tito --” Tuna called out as he was still trying to get on his feet alas, he could not finish his sentence while doing so. Since Tito was slightly annoyed and somewhat felt distress just seeing Tuna's struggles, he grabbed the back collar of the fat Tuna and lifted him up without exerting any effort -- as expected from the mighty Tito!
”Thank you, boss Tito!' Tuna could finally breathe freely with Tito's help. Jack on the side scoffed in disdain with the sight of the distressing fatty early in the morning. If he was asked, he'd rather carry that d*mn fatty to his grave. In that case, he won't have to see his disturbing reaction because it was contagious.
”Oh, isn't that the luckiest traitor?” Leon who didn't have to turn his head to see who and how many people came spoke. Though he hasn't met Tuna, just with the sound of his voice and his ragged breathing that was worse than a snore, already matched all the information Leon heard from his confidants.
Meanwhile, Rex only glanced at them but pay no attention or even have any intention to ask what happened. After all, Seraphina invited people with her own reason and keep them alive on the same grounds. Moreover, it doesn't interest him as his full engrossment was all diverted to the cunning Luciano. Just like Leon, Rex was itching to recuperate as soon as possible as he knew that Seraphina now faces more enemies; and more invincible to top it all off.
”I won't do it again, boss! I already know my wrongs and would be loyal from that day onwards.” Tuna's back and armpits were drenched as his excessive sweats multiplied due to fear. This time, he was sincere despite his staggering words.
