Chapter 31 - balabala

Seraphina entered the woods where the abandoned bungalow was located. She grabbed the odd-looking phone and dialed 'bump on the log'.

Before the first ring could finish, it was immediately answered.

"Boss! That was fun! But who are they?"

"José Rodrigo."

"Huh?"

"I want every detail about this fat bastard; who he was associated with, his hideouts, business transactions; everything for the last 2 years."

"Err... I can do that but boss—"

"bla bla bla, you busybody! Don't you know the phrase: keep your friends close and your enemies closer?"

"uhh... but why bring them closer if you can shut them forever." X mumbled

"Tch. boring... I told everyone to turn to a new leaf and live a decent life but a certain someone is challenging me and didn't follow to my orders, eh?"

"Don't worry, boss! I'll find every little detail about this bastard!" He then hung up almost immediately.

Present time:

Uno and Riggs were bewildered about the news occurred that day. They drove aimlessly around the city yet they had not encountered the incident.

Uno stared at Seraphina's room balcony. A growing suspicion was slowly spouting in his heart. He was uncertain if it was a coincidence but he could not help but have a little suspicion in his heart and a question he could not shrug off.

'Was it you?'

Although they drove the city aimlessly, after searching for her for almost an hour, they decided to widen their search range, thus, they left the east side of the city after a quick search. Regardless, it was not his job to look after Marga hence, what happened to her does not matter to him.

Meanwhile...

Inside a high-end bar at the center of the city.

The room temperature dropped 0° as the man with his magnificent facial features mood was eerily grave. His slightly thick brows furrowed as he was immersed in his thoughts.

The door slammed open revealing another man, it was none other than Jace, wearing a formal black suit, with his hair neatly brushed up and a smug grin on his lips depicting a typical Casanova, accompanied with two beautiful ladies.

He narrowed his eyes seeing his friend deep in his thoughts. Sitting on a sofa and placed both his hands on the headrest, both girls served him while being clingy at the same time. Seeing his friend still hadn't reacted, he spoke.

"After your stay overseas, I bet you get dump by a foreign girl?" He asked in a trivial tone.

Hearing the familiar voice, the man with a magnificent feature snapped back to reality.

"Tch." He scoffs.

"Ohh Ohh... I see. The international superstar Alexander Han just got dump! That's big news! So tell, me who is this brave girl?" the man asked as he fiddle his finger at one of his woman's hair.

"is being dumped by a stranger made you obsessed about me experiencing the same thing? Tch. Some barbarian broke my ride side mirror, dumbass. And your taste of women is getting worse, Jace. you two, get out." Alex replied as he glances at the two ladies snuggling at Jace.

Jace looked at the two girls with him then gave them a warm nod before they reluctantly left.

"Wow! His guts are commendable! I should meet this guy!" He said with an amused tone.

"How did he managed to break your car's side mirror anyway?" Jace asked. Alex gave him a quick glance before he picked his phone to make a call.

Examining Alexander Han expression, Jace's curiosity was tugging him. He was itching to know who was the brave one who dared challenge this hellspawn.

"Stolen?" Alexander Han asked as he listened to the other person on the line, his expression turned grim. Followed by a series of questions.

"any footage?

Hacked?"

After a few minutes, Alexander Han hung up the call with an extremely dark aura surrounding him.

"Wow, hackers are all over the place today huh?" Jace commented without giving much thought of what happened to his friend.

"What do you mean?"

"Huh? Me? About what? Hackers? Uh, yeah. There is this person who caused a ruckus and turned the city upside down. He managed to escape and left no traces where he went." Jace said in a trivial manner as if it was a piece of normal news.

"Escaped?" Finally, Alexander Han full interest was piqued.

"Yes. He drove with a Ducati Panigale V4, Police system was hacked and a virus was planted. Well, that was what I heard from my father." He continued delivering the news in a trivial manner as if it was a normal thing.

"..."

Seeing Alexander Han in a daze, Jace's brows furrowed.

"why? You know him?" he asked.

"it was him… the one who broke my Huracan."

"What?! DAMN! Man, be grateful that you're still alive!" Jace exclaimed in disbelief. He was curious about the person who broke Alex car but he never thought that it would that madman.

"He should be grateful, we'll never meet again." Alex nonchalantly answered as he pours himself a glass of wine.

"What happened to Liam?" diverting Jace attention, he asked.

"Ohh ohh. That guy! He just broke his engagement!" sounding like a proud father of the news he delivered himself, Jace smiled from ear to ear.

"He's a reasonable man."

"Ohh ohh. I don't think it's reasonable to Jin family tho."

"..."

"not curious? Well, he doesn't want to be entangled to a loveless marriage." Jace continued giving every detail to Alex even though he did not ask.

"You never stop, huh?" Alexander's voice contained disdain at Jace nonstop blabber.
