The Untamed: Game of Hearts - Chapter 184

At Yue Group Building…

Lyne gulped when she received a delivery from Boris in her office. Looking at it, it was a dinner box with a note.

[I personally cooked this meal for you. I would’ve loved to deliver this personally to your office, but I understand that I should lay low and avoid going out of the territory often. Also, Mia couldn’t go out to help me and accompany me in going there. Please enjoy these, and I hope you’ll tell me how they taste later. Don’t tire yourself out too much…]

She sighed as she tucked away the letter somewhere in her pockets. It was dinner time already, and yet she and Levi were still stuck doing overtime since the next few days would become very hectic with the Mirage Trial coming tomorrow. Their Boss predicted that a one-day trial wouldn’t suffice, but a verdict would definitely be handed out come the second day of the trial.

Her door swung open, Levi entering the room. “Let’s go and have dinner first. Or do you prefer me to call for a-” he stopped when he saw the dinner box. “Wow… Who sent that?”

“Boris…” Lyne whispered, almost coming out as a gap.

“Nice… I guess I’ll be eating alone…” Levi snorted. “That werewolf… How dare he not send extra for me.”

Lyne chuckled, “Come here and take this to the pantry. These are more than enough for the two of us.” She shook her head as she stood up, “He cooked a lot. I don’t think I can possibly finish it all alone…”

Levi followed behind her, grabbing the boxes to prepare them on the table at the pantry area.

“Indeed, there are so many dishes… Is he trying to fatten you up before eating you-” he stopped himself and swallowed his next words, realizing that Lyne might not like his joke.

“I guess that’s his plan,” Lyne nonchalantly commented as she put some of the dishes on her plate to taste them. Not that she needed to. She already knew that Boris was a good cook since she had tasted some of his recipes back in his home.

“Wow, I didn’t know that Boris can cook,” Levi unconsciously praised as he grabbed more dishes on his plate.

“I know, right? Seems like men in our group are just straight-up better in the kitchen,” she seconded with a soft smile. Somehow, Tyrone and Levi were both excellent cooks as well, while the Boss, Mia, and her, well… They were definitely good with other things beyond cooking.

Levi only giggled. He couldn’t help but tease with a smile, “Hmm, looks like the werewolf is working to gain our Lyne’s interest again. Not bad.”

She refused to comment on his words, electing to simply continue eating away quietly. She indeed appreciated small gestures like that. And with how Boris was now behaving well around her, it at least made his eagerness somewhat tangible this time around.

“It’s a plus. If you’ll rate him from one to ten with ten being the highest, what’s his number right now?” Levi curiously asked despite knowing that Lyne would probably not answer him.

‘Six?’ Lyne inwardly answered while giving Levi a simple shrug of silence. “By the way, how’re the funds?” she asked.

“Oh, I’m done,” Levi sniggered. “It’s still under our Boss’s name in Yun’s system, but in reality, it’s all on him. But I’m worried. King Marcus will wake up soon, and we all know how he loved his brother since he’s his only remaining flesh and blood he has left, right? What if-”

“Stop worrying. That’s why Boss had prepared a perfect plan. Yun won’t die due to the verdict, but with his encounter with the military…” Lyne reassured. “It’s already to our advantage that he’s committed a lot of illegal things and facilitated most of our fighters and the Shadow Beauties for his terrorist attacks just to frame the Earth Clan. He’s trying to shoot all his targets with one bullet with his lousy tactics that it simply all backfired on him…” she scoffed. The Boss’s plans were all solid, and would surely not have any loophole once her father woke up.

“But… We’re going back to being under his ruling. I mean… Do you like King Marcus as our king? Remember how he sacrificed the infected fighters in our clan?” Levi cautiously asked. “I mean, your father died from a werewolf’s hand. But if you think carefully, he could’ve also died by King Marcus’s hand just by getting infected alone…” he voiced out. He still couldn’t get how those fighters died after being infected from the last clash with the Convel Society group.

“It’s not King Marcus’s direct orders, Levi…” Lyne murmured. “It’s Prince Yun’s orders to eliminate them all.”

“Yeah, because Prince Yun is following our rules and protocols to kill all mutants and any human infected by mutants,” Levi continued. “So before falling into a coma, I’m sure King Marcus would’ve done the same. Plus, we must not forget how he eradicated King Arthur, including his entire family and all his followers. It’s a mass murder that they forged into an act of punishing treachery even when there’s clearly none. Those mutants with King Arthur were a non-threat at all to be eradicated like that…”

Levi mumbled out with a low voice, “Wouldn’t it be better if the King wouldn’t wake up at all? What if our Boss were to lead our Clan as Queen?”

There was deafening silence for a moment before Lyne spoke, “We both know how the Boss loves her father even if they don’t share the same blood. Boss would sacrifice her own life just to save King Marcus… We all know as much as that, Levi. And the irony is that we’re are willing to sacrifice our lives for the Boss.”

Levi sighed deeply. They both know that Lyne spoke nothing but the truth.

“Even now, she’s not erasing our memories about the eradication…” Lyne recalled.

“Yeah, I’m sure she’ll do that before King Marcus wakes up, or right after the verdict on Prince Yun,” Levi sighed. “Ah, to be honest, I hope she won’t erase it anymore. I really don’t mind keeping that a secret for the Boss’s sake.”

Lyne chuckled and jested, “Pray that we run out of Glawackus Powder then.”

Glawackus was a fearsome critter, one that was very hard to find. The powder came from the creature’s eyes, and just a small amount dusted over a human’s eyes would wipe out the human’s memory.

“I think King Marcus has a lot of it in reserve so that Dr. Janus could facilitate the mixture for the memory loss powder. Besides, he practically had a nonstop supply of it from a credible hunter,” Levi murmured. “Also, I’ve heard that Dr. Janus is currently conducting a promising experiment that would enable us to produce more of it without having to hunt for more Glawackus creatures. Huh… I just realized how important Dr. Janus is in our Clan. His brain is really exceptional. He’s like a modern wizard too. No wonder King Marcus trusted him above all,” he mumbled.

“I agree. King Marcus will definitely do anything just to keep a man like Dr.. Janus under his wing,” Lyne seconded.
