Good Girl Gone Bad: Queen Of The Underworld - Chapter 359

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.

Sighing heavily, Seraphina leaned her back and relaxed her tensed shoulder. Now, she has another addition to her team, meaning, another responsibility. Alas, Seraphina never sees Mariel as a burden as she needed his skill if something unforeseen happened to her and to her family members.

“What a tiring life… I should reconsider his holiday offer.” She muttered as she closed her stressed eyes to rest.

“Huh, I guess that Luciano is anxious,” Leon mumbled as he stared at the plain-looking ceiling. Hearing the news regarding the old Luciano’s short phonecall, Leon doesn’t need Jack’s explanation to understand what it was.

Just the fact that after so many years, Luciano would make a phone call — that means Seraphina’s influence and power reached the threatening level of his gauge. With his own reason, now, Leon was more inclined to recover as soon as possible to join the fun.

“Hmm,” Rex hummed a tune as he stretched his neck in a circular motion. He never met the old Luciano before but, back in the days when he was still a general, he read some information regarding the activities of the said retired Don that monopolized the whole country y and the neighboring countries.

Moreover, despite having such information, there is no photo of the real Luciano which was alarming enough despite having most of the intelligence of the government. He would use different stand-in with important transactions hence, even if that person died or get captured during those times, it will always end up as the wrong man.

“Hmm? Right, you never saw that Luciano.” Upon hearing Rex’s simple hummed, Leon uttered unenthusiastically. After all, aside from Seraphina and Tito, Leon had seen that man. There wasn’t any special about his looks unlike Dragon, alas, his presence was too strong that even Leon wouldn’t shrug off and underestimate; which was amusing to Leon.

“I’ll meet him in due time.” Rex responded with a certain tone.

“Heh, you have that much faith to her. Well, what can I say? I also look forward when that day comes.” Agreeing with Rex, Leon was also certain that they will get there. That Seraphina would exterminate all the threats that come on her way.

Just then, the door was burst open yet, both patients didn’t bother to turn their gaze on the entrance of the temporary infirmary.

“Damn fatty, can’t you stand? Why are you crawling all the way until here?” Jack dissed with disdain as he looked at the unbelievable fat man on the floor.
