27 Chapter 27: The little island of Roses

On an island not so far from the city a remarkably tall lady with a perfect body in a black slim fitted dress and blood red heels stands on a balcony starring at the city view as her red hair flows in the wind.

There is a faint knock coming from inside, she glances over her shoulder to see one of her subordinate walking towards her.

"He is here" the man said almost robotic

Hearing what he said a playfully faint yet terrifying smile creeps across her face making her look dangerously beautiful

"Take him to the Rose garden, I'll be right there" she says without turning around.

The man nods and turns around. After the door closes the lady turns around and walks into the room, she picks up a folder and walks out the room. Although she is wearing heels as she walks she makes no sound.

In the garden there is a round antic stone table with red, white and black roses designed around the edges with chairs shaped like roses. Around the table are different colors of roses lined in neat circle giving of a strangely tranquil effect.

Sitting on a stone antic stool shaped like a rose is a tall scrawny man, he looks very timid with a very pale and almost sickly skin but gorgeous face. And sitting across him on a throne with vines of roses growing over it is the lady with red hair.

They both sit there starring at each other for what seems like forever and then finally the man breaks the silence.

"It's nice to see you again Rose, last time we spoke you killed my whole team. And now you call for me" the man stares right into her calm blue eyes trying to read her, but he can't.

"You should be thanking me, I didn't kill you, right? " Rose says with a playful grin

"I should be thanking you? I have nothing because of you" the man says as he gets up in rage.

"After all these years you still haven't changed Liam." She says as she shakes her head, "what do you think of my island, I call it the little island of Roses" roses says proudly

"You really are crazy, people always said you were a psychopath, but after seeing this now I'm convinced." Liam shouts not able to contain his anger. "Since you live your life around roses I'm going to make sure your life ends in the midst of your precious rose garden" when he finished talking he pulls out a gun and aims it at Rose's head.

Rose, who is as calm as ever, raises her eyebrows in astonishment. "Wow, this is fun" Rose says with a smirk and amusement evident in her eyes.

Faint sounds of footsteps can be heard moving towards them,Now surrounding them are men and women some in white, some in red and some in black.

"They can't save you, I'm going…" before Liam could finish his sentence he feels something cold on his neck. Without realizing it a woman in black snuck behind him and now has a knife on his neck

"Drop the gun Liam, I only want to help you. Join my roses (what she calls her subordinates) and I'll give you all that you want. And if you say no then I'll kill you" Rose says calmly like it's a regular sentence.

Liam struggles for a while, before he reluctantly drops his gun. And the woman behind him picks it up and walks always.

"Smart move," Rose says as she passes a folder to him. "That's your first mission"

Liam picks it up and reads it, after a while he looks up shocked. "How did you find this, the Zhou clan have been looking for leads for over two decades."

"Well, that's the Zhou clan and I'm Rose" Rose says as a matter of fact

"But are you sure it's the Shin group. We can't go poking holes in the wrong place." Liam asks a bit reluctant to take the mission.

"I'm positive", Rose pauses then sits up and looks at Liam seriously"they not only know something. I have a felling they still have her. I'm not asking you to find her all you have to do is investigate how they took her"

Seeing the serious expression on her face Liam is shocked because even when she is killing she is always smiling. So he known's how important this is. "I will try my best" Liam says trying not to seem frightened of her.

Rose sits back and regains her playful composure and waves for him to leave. She watches as he gets up, "and Liam... don't betray me" this time she gets up and walks away following behind her colorful subordinates, leaving a terrified Liam
