Good Girl Gone Bad: Queen Of The Underworld - Chapter 386

The next morning…

“Goodmorning.” Enjoying her cup of tea, Seraphina greeted without taking her eyes away from her tablet.

Around the table, Seraphina sat at the head seat as usual. She was their godfather after all. Dragon perched on her right side, Mariel Min on her left, while Tito was placing down the toast and sandwiches he prepared for breakfast.

Jack glanced at Tito’s gigantic built that was wearing a pink apron with a huge sunflower printed on it. By the looks of it, he totally didn’t mind working overtime burying bodies last night. “Morning.” Letting out a deep sigh, Jack perched to the seat two chairs away from Mariel Min.

He picked up one toast of bread and took a bite while glancing at the peaceful front of Seraphina. Tito as if on cue quickly prepared him a cup of black coffee which he served right after.

“Ah, boss…” After some time, Jack called. Yet, Seraphina just hummed a tune without breaking her eyes away from the tablet on the side. “About the person down there,” He scratched his temple as he cast Dragon a glance.

Jack already interrogated the man earlier. Just as expected, he didn’t speak a word of who was his boss and their intention no matter how Jack beat him up. He only began tattling when Jack told him a story and ensnare him under hypnotism. Thus, he extracted a chunk of information from the lone survivor of last night’s incident.

“Hmm…” Seraphina hummed once again, not interested in what was Jack wanted to say. It was not because she had guessed it but, she knew that they were not Luciano’s men. After all, Luciano wouldn’t be that careless sending a low-tier group of mercenaries to spy on her.

“Whatever. You already figured it out.” Waving his hands off, Jack shook his head as he picked up his cup of coffee. Seraphina not showing even a little interest meant she probably knew that the group of mercenaries came for Dragon and not for her.

“Jack, keep an eye on Leon. I’ll be going out.” After some time, Seraphina finally retracted her eyes away from the tablet. She raised her head and glanced at the puzzled Jack before she shifted it to the silent Dragon, enjoying his cup of coffee.

“Alright…?” Although baffled that Seraphina would finally go out after staying still in their headquarter, Jack still agreed. He doesn’t care about Seraphina’s being in danger as they lived in a world that danger was normal.

With that said note, Seraphina slowly stood from her seat and unhurriedly strode away from the dining area. Jack, Mariel Min, and Tito had their gaze on her fading figure while Dragon remained silent as he enjoyed his coffee.

“Dragon, until when will you stay here being our boss’s underdog?” When Seraphina’s footsteps were no longer resounding, Jack cast Dragon a side glance as he asked. It has been a while since this man was here. Yet, he showed no signs of leaving.

Not just that, but also, his enemies knew whereabouts. Seraphina’s plans might be affected if more enemies of his dared infiltrate their base. After all, they already had a lot of things at the moment and Dragon’s enemies would be more troublesome if they joined the party.

“Until she dies.” Calm as he was, Dragon bluntly responded. His response made Jack’s brow twitched while Mariel Min remained silent on the side. Staring down on his reflection from the cup of coffee, a bitter smirk formed on the side of his lips. “Your boss… if she dies, every one of you will also die.” He emotionlessly added.

“Are you saying you’ll kill us all?” Furrowing his brows, Jack narrowed his eyes towards Dragon.

“Maybe,” Slowly, Dragon lifted his head as he looked at Mariel Min across him. “Unless your confidant gets his hands on you first.” Referring about Leon, Dragon had been very hostile towards that certain person.

He knew him. Although not personally but he heard a lot about him. Leon, a genius prodigy to the extent of being a threat to the government of country y. He could master new things after he was thought hours ago, including how to handle a gun and assassinate. He was thought, at a young age to be a secret human weapon.

However, as years go by, Leon reached a certain point in his life that the organization he was worked for could no longer handle his craziness. Hence, the locked him up in an institute. A deserted island where the most dangerous criminals were being held.

That was supposed the end of the story of Leon. But, if not for the fact that Dragon showed his interest in the said man, he wouldn’t know that Leon wasn’t inside the institute where he was supposed to be locked down. None knew how he escaped but after further research, Dragon stumbled on the information that there was a particular year that the classified information stated countless deaths in the institute — both authorities and prisoners received casualties.

The unsolved mystery still remained: why did he escape and why was he serving Seraphina?

“Know your place, Dragon.” Displeased about his statement, Jack warned. “I’ll be taking a walk.” He informed Tito who just nodded his head in understanding. He didn’t appreciate the fact that Dragon was slandering his confidants.

However, deep down, Jack knew that there’s only one person who could do that: Leon. After all, Leon often threatened them that he would kill them all if Seraphina died. It was a relieved that he didn’t know the time Seraphina fell into a long slumber.

“He’s been a little edgy lately. Don’t mind him.” Tito looked at Jack’s retreating back before he spoke, directing it to Dragon.

“It’s normal.” Still bearing a calm tone, Dragon responded before he slowly stood from his seat and went to who knows where.

Mariel Min glanced at their empty plates and mugs. Every single day he stayed with them, he noticed that every one of them never waste their food and also sensed the faint tiredness everyone was emanating — especially from Seraphina.

It felt gloomy, no matter how crazy, calm, and nonchalant they acted.

“Tito, do you think the boss will die soon?” Both his hands held his mug as he looked down. His question was a bit silly if he thought about it more. Of course, they would eventually die — death was inevitable. Not to mention, the world they lived in where every second without having a hole in their heads was already a miracle.

Still, he somehow felt that he was already part of their group. Hence, he was worried more about their dauntlessness instead of his own passing age.

“She’s the most desperate person to live I have known in my life. She’ll crawl back from hell if necessary.” Tito meekly smiled. What he said was indeed true, or rather, how he knew Seraphina back then. But now, he was also wavering as he could no longer follow his boss’s train of thoughts.
