Chapter 145 - meet the devil

"Damn fool." Seraphina leaned her back against the Yue Family entrance. Letting out a heavy sigh, she hangs her head low.

She knew that her move just now or rather, everything she does and says to Liam would always lead to her deeper lies. But, bluntly saying she loves him as well with sincerity -- Liam would definitely detect her lies. After all, there's a huge difference with like and love.

The kiss might be as cruel as her lies. However, if she wanted to keep fabricating her feeling towards him; she had to do it with full deception -- not a single suspicion to rose. Seraphina already set her mind to continue her plans for the safety of Sebastian Yue.

Selfish? She could be more than greedy for the sake of her grandfather. Yet, as far as she drags Liam to her predicament, her screaming inner voice always interjects. Even so, he already became her scapegoat instead of Sebastian Yue.

"I'm crazy…" Seraphina murmurs in mockery. How can she hesitate now that everything was placed in order? When Seraphina heard the vehicle's engine accelerating, she waited until silence envelops the Yue Family Mansion, again.

Peeking outside, Liam's car was gone. Hence, she immediately rushed towards her own car and started to rev it up without delay.

She knew 'that' man's antics; he is surely waiting for his death coming. After all, he purposely parades his presence to her, meaning, she needs to face him. Or else, everyone inside the hotel -- all her staff and other guest presents would die there and then.

"I'll let you experience death at it's finest." Seraphina's wavering conscience was set aside as her mind focus on that certain man.

----

In no time, with Seraphina's fast and insane driving skills, she reached the hotel where she held her banquet. It was still packed with her employees who're seemingly having fun just themselves.

"Now, where are you hiding?" Seraphina scans the building with her viperous gaze. After a brief moment, she smirks as if she finally got the answer before leisurely taking strides to the upper level of the luxurious hotel.

Alas, Wren's voice called her out.

"Miss Yue? You're still here?" Wren warily spoke. When she turned her head to see him, Wren instantly sobers up seeing her menacing gaze.

"Bo-boss? What's going on?" Wren kept his tone low as he inquires solemnly?

"Get those businessmen and my staff out of here. Ask Mike to secure the place's safety." Seraphina neither explained but ordered him instead. Seeing that she was about to leave, Wren tries to stop her.

"Boss, who is it?" Referring to the person she was about to meet, Wren felt troubled. Alas, she only gave him a quick glance before starting to move forward.

"Bo--boss! you'll come back, okay?" He was about to stop her for the last time but instead, the words left his mouth sounded like he was cheering for her.

'Boss, you'll be fine right?' Wren subconsciously asked.

'If it were before, I'll surely be fine but now, I don't know either.' as if Seraphina guess his thoughts, she answered telepathically.

*Ting*

The sound of the elevator door as it opens was akin to the gates of hell. Reaching the top floor, the hallway only leads to a certain door.

Just as expected, there is no inhabitant in sight. The foreboding atmosphere can choke a normal being to his death, yet, Seraphina was unfazed as her expression became more and more emotionless -- as if the danger that's lurking around the corner was nothing to her.

"Who would have thought that you show yourself earlier than expected." Seraphina murmurs as a treacherous glint flash across her eyes.

'This is will be a long a_s_s night.' she thought inwardly as she stretched her neck in a circular motion before heading to meet the devil itself.

"AHH!" a man screamed at the top of his lungs as the bullet penetrated his legs. The devoid of emotion Alexander Han stared down at the man he shot, he spoke.

"Whether you talk or not, I already guess who you work for." when the man heard his words, though the pain on his legs is unbearable, he could not help but shudder in terror. He only receives an order to scare the woman by aiming at the prince-looking man. Alas, just when he has done his job, some unknown men fawned on him and knock him out.

The moment he regained his consciousness, they beat him mercilessly. If he was in his normal state, he could easily fight back. However, he was drugged -- weakening his body.

"Tch! You won't get away with this!" The man lashed out with all the remaining strength he had. Yet, Alexander Han was unfazed. Though he never killed for the last month, albeit in his knowledge, this man attempts to harm Seraphina; which is his bottom line. Thus, he would dirty his hands if it's necessary.

"I don't have to get away because -- I'm coming for your boss myself."

*BANG! BANG! BANG*

With that consecutive deafening gunshots, the man collapsed to the ground receiving the raining bullets. Thomas Yang bulged his eyes seeing how aggressive his boss was. In the past months serving Alexander Han, he never did the killing part.

He would usually watch his men beating up their target but leaves when it's time to end that person's life. Alas, tonight, just because this man attempted to harm Seraphina -- Alexander Han picked the gun himself!

'Young Master…'
