Good Girl Gone Bad: Queen Of The Underworld - Chapter 381

Smoke leisurely escaped her mouth c_a_r_e_s_sing both their nostrils with the redolent scent. Still, there wasn’t a sign of her retaliating as if there was no Dragon blocking the corner of her lips as she leisurely puffed out the smoke inside her mouth.

Seraphina unhurriedly blinked her eyelids, her eyes slightly moved to the side and had a glimpsed of his side profile. Slowly, Dragon retracted his head back with a sly smirk plastered across his lips.

“Feeling better?” Arching her brows, Seraphina returned a smirk as her fingers clipping the cigarette b_u_t_t neared her lips and then she took a light drag.

“Let me see…” Rubbing his chin, Dragon seemed to ponder and analyzed if their cold kiss was good enough. After a second, he mildly shook his head and clicked his tongue in disappointment. “From my brief analysis, it’s not good enough— shall we try a little longer?”

“You suck, no way.” Languidly puffing the smoke out, Seraphina only gave the greedy man a side glance as she lightly flicked the half-finished cigarette to the ground and stomped it with her shoe.

“Do I? Should we try inside to see if I suck?” Still at it, Dragon slightly tilted his head to the side as he fluttered his long lashes and his even white teeth showing by his wide grin.

If Seraphina was a normal damsel in distress, he wouldn’t have to ask her and just be the devil may care as he was. However, the problem was, Seraphina was only distress but not even close to a damsel— she’s a monster. He’ll have to face life and death battle just to take her to bed, hence, to save his brownie points safe from being a housekeeper for quite some time now, Dragon decided to be the obedient, sweet house husband and just ask nicely for a reward.

“Gift me with Luciano’s head and get your reward.” Humoring him, Seraphina unhurriedly averted her gaze on the ground from where she stomped her foot and then to Dragon’s awkward expression that seemed he was not used to it that made her brows twitched.

“Scratch that, just return to that stone-cold persona you had before— you’re turning me off.” Seraphina already tolerated seeing Dragon act caring and human, however, right now, just for his thirst for s_e_x_u_a_l i_n_t_e_r_c_o_u_r_s_e, he lowered himself even more by portraying a teenage highschooler having a crush for the first time.

“Is that so?” Scratching his right temple by his index finger, Dragon let out a heavy exhale as he thought as much. “I thought girls like sweet guys.”

“Yeah, but not you.” Slightly shaking her head sideways, Seraphina stared at him from her to toe with disgust. She has been pretty busy lately and wasn’t paying too much attention to this ala freelancer who by the way, was actually the head of the largest triad.

“Also, are you cool with Max doing all the management in your family? You’ve been here for quite some time now.” In a matter of factly tone, Seraphina for some reason continued the conversation and inquired without holding so much interest with the topic.

As if on cue, Dragon briefly scrutinized her as this was a rare moment that Seraphina prolonged a conversation with him. After all, she had been too focused on her schemes that she wouldn’t even bother to exchange a few words with him in one day. Hence, getting used to being used, Dragon smiled and gladly humored her.

“Right… now that you mentioned it, I almost forgot I have responsibilities!” Snapping his fingers, Dragon seemed to realize that he hasn’t got in touch with Max these days and he didn’t have any news if they were still alive… or rather, he was busy to check as he was preoccupied being the Cinderalla doing half of the house chores.

“Whatever, get out of here whenever.” Seraphina slightly shook her head and waved her hands off before she was about to turn around and go back inside. However, just when Seraphina began to put pressure on her heel to spin around, she halted upon hearing him spoke.

“No, let the mistress handle the kids and the house while I woo their mother.” Dragon slightly pivoted his head to her direction before he clicked his tongue and winked.

“Tch, I’ll never be a mother of those disgusting little pricks.” Seraphina’s face distorted as she for a second imagined being a mother of thousands of Dragon’s underdogs. “Stay there and freeze outside to death— I guess I got the movie tickets for our next date.” With that said note, Seraphina resumed to diss him before she took slow strides back to their temporary headquarters.

“Hey, don’t be like a heartless mother— wait.” Following behind her, Dragon insincerely retorted back before his eyes quickly scanned the area one last time and smirked as if seeing someone far in the dark. Yet, he only followed Seraphina inside and said nothing aloud— confident that he wasn’t the only one who noticed the people as Seraphina was the sharpest person who amazed him up until today.

‘Hehe, thank me later for the headstart… or not.’ He thought inwardly as he followed her with a grin.

From the shadows, where the direction Dragon cast a glance at, the person or rather, the very few people who saw the taunting smirk from the majestic looking man felt a cold, murderous chill run down their spine.

He saw them! No one knew how, but he was definitely not bluffing as he looked straight at them as if the obscurity wasn’t a hindrance for him to see them. Even so, he acted as if he could not care less with their presence nor was he bothered that they were under surveillance.

Was this because he was the infamous Dragon? A man with legions of soldico under him? Still, wasn’t he rather lax knowing there were only a few people guarding him? The men felt terrified but then, their fear slowly grew to insult as Dragon made them feel like insects that he could crash any time he wants.

“We should retreat for now.” One man covered with nothing but black disguise flatly uttered. The rest of the group turned to him and nodded all at once before they began to flee in urgency.

Seraphina didn’t head to the control room or to her room. Instead, she headed straight to the acting infirmary where Rex and Leon were recovering. When she arrived at the said room, Seraphina was welcomed with Mariel Min frantically preventing Rex from stretching on his bed.

“Mr., can you please not do that until you’re fully recovered?” Sounding distress as always, Mariel Min stood several steps away from Rex who was just stretching his neck. Still, Mariel Min’s reaction was over the top.

On the other hand, Leon was resting soundly on his bed with his eyes closed. By the looks of it, he could not be bothered by the two and pretended that Mariel Min’s banter was nothing but irrelevant noises— even when he heard the door slowly opened and light footsteps approaching— Leon didn’t open his eyes.

“Uh, dearest doctor, I prescribe you to shut up for a moment, please.” Meekly smiling, Seraphina turned to Mariel Min who was nearly having a nervous breakdown trying to stop Rex from doing unnecessary movements.

“Uh…” Upon hearing Seraphina’s voice, Mariel Min automatically zipped his mouth even before he abruptly turned his head to the entrance of the door.

“Thank you very much.” Seraphina clasped her hand together as she thanked Mariel Min for heeding her request. She then shifted her gaze to Rex who was now getting out of his bed and to Leon who remained immobilized with his eyes closed.

“Gentlemen, do you want to exercise so bad?” Tilting her head to the side, a sweet smile plastered on her plum lips. Mariel Min thought for a second that Seraphina’s words were sarcasm intended which gave him a slight relief. However, the next second, he almost took back his sigh of relief hearing her next words.

“Why don’t we test if you’ve recovered or not?” With this said note, Leon finally opened his eyes as the corner of his lips curled into a hair-raising smirk. Meanwhile, Rex didn’t have any change in expression as it remained blank as usual. Alas, he was already standing up and strode towards the window.

“Run around outside and breath some fresh air— sounds good?” She added with the same sweet tone.

“Jack was already going crazy out there.” Rex blankly murmured without looking away from the dark forest outside. He didn’t even pay attention to Tito who was watering his flowers on the side.
