Good Girl Gone Bad: Queen Of The Underworld - Chapter 347

“Tito?” Wren inquired while looking outside through the mirror. Currently, Alexander Han and Wren were in the same car and both sat at the back seat like elite young masters. Thomas Yang, Alex’s assistant drove them to where they asked him to get them.

“Hmm,” Alexander Han hummed a tune indicating that Wren’s guess was right. He doesn’t have the energy to answer or think much as his heart cracked a little at the sight of Seraphina and Dragon.

Granting that Alexander Han was slowly acknowledging the fact that Seraphina is beyond his reach, alas, seeing Dragon keep up with her as if they were on the same level — he could not help but feel pathetic.

He felt small and like a kid before those two monstrous individuals. Yes, he has money, lots of them but money won’t attract a strong, independent woman like Seraphina. Moreover, the world she was part of made it more impossible for him.

Must he be more greedy? He couldn’t right? After all, she was looking after him that is why she recruited him with no particular reason. That fact already crashed his ego as a man multiple times hence, he could not just sit back and weep for his incompetence.

Alexander Han wanted to be more not just for the girl he liked but for himself. He wanted to prove that he too was reliable enough for her to lean on.

“I have never felt this relief, pwe!” Wren heaved a sigh of relieved, snapping Alexander Han from his stupor.

“Why so?”

“Huh, those ingrates are s_u_c_k_i_n_g my bank accounts dry — every single damn time!” Wren frowned recalling all the calls he received that needed his wallet to shell out millions without any justice.

“Why are they trying to kill each other anyway?” Shrugging off Wren’s reasoning, Alexander Han diverted the discussion to the question hovered on his mind earlier. He knew that Seraphina’s confidants were crazy but not to the extent of killing each other when they feel like it. What’s more? It was the every reliable and composed Rex and the apathetic Leon.

“Kill? Uh, I wouldn’t say that. It’s more like a rescue mission.”

“Rescue mission?” Knitting his brows together, Alexander Han’s interest was piqued.

“Tsk tsk, I’m not used to explaining things again after Uno’s recruitment.” Wren clicked his tongue, feeling that Alexander Han still needed to be briefed further on his newfound ‘friends’.

“For Rex to act that way is one of his lifetime oath to the boss. As you can see, Rex was assigned to have this so-called exclusive order that whenever Leon was losing himself, he must stop him.” Wren paused and recalled what he knew about the matter. He resumed,

“You see, goombah is a much dangerous fellow than you thought he is. Even me at first was terrified of him. But, with Rex’s existence in the group, it was quite reassuring.”

Alexander Han analyzed Wren’s statement yet, he had a gist of it but also not which confused him even more. “You mean Rex is the one that keeping Leon’s status in check?”

“Exactly.” Wren nodded in confirmation.

“But why?”

“Because Leon will kill everyone if Rex doesn’t — including us.” Wren briefly explained in a simplified form.

“What? Why?”

“*sigh* Just like I said, he’s a much more dangerous ticking time bomb. If you don’t know which I’m sure you don’t, Leon was a prisoner in one of the top-secret asylums in the past. Only the individual who had an unparalleled threat level was placed on that island… Now, that establishment was burnt down along with the dismembered bodies of everyone; prisoners and staff. Well, it must be an exaggeration as no one can confirm that.” Wren tattled his vague knowledge regarding Leon’s past. Though he knew this much, it could still be considered ten percent of Leon’s character.

“Exaggerated regarding the asylum?”

“Huh? No! The dismembered bodies.” Wren cast Alexander Han beside him a disdainful look. It’s as if he was mocking his whole existence with his dumb question. However, Alexander Han had a more ugly expression hearing Wren’s answer.

Does that mean that Wren was uncertain about that fact but not on the bigger picture? If so, then, should Alexander Han be more wary of him and thanked Rex with his unintentional service of saving everyone from Leon’s unstable thought process? But the biggest question of all is, how did Seraphina get him to abide her words?

“Ha, I also don’t know — how boss recruited him. I already asked but got a petrifying cold glare in return. So, we’ll probably be held in the dark forever.” As if Wren guessed what’s on Alexander Han’s mind, he answered even before hearing another dumb question from him.

“I should reflect on the reason why I joined this group.” Alexander Han honestly muttered which Wren agreed.

“I’d been doing that for years as well.” Wren sympathized with Alexander Han. At least, there’s someone in the group who shared the same opinion as him. After all, Wren wasn’t as good just like them in a close fight and even though his marksmanship was good, it still considered sloppy on his confidants.

The only thing that he’s good at is making money — that’s his forte.
