Chapter 184 - What a f*ck up world

Just as Captain Long nodded vigorously, the sound of rattling guns deafened their ears as bullets filled the air. Seraphina instantly, without mercy pulled the trigger which caused a splash of blood and flesh on her delicate small face before forcefully pulling Captain Long's dead body as her shield.

Other new forces came into Dragon's rescue as they only aimed at the enemy in sight. Of course, the people who ambushed them fight for their lives as they hid on their own cars and fired back.

Soon, another van rushed towards to where Dragon was kept. Seeing that their reinforcement came in the nick of time, Max heaved a sigh of relief. His concern about Seraphina was set aside as he rigidly unbuckled his seatbelt.

Once the enemies were pushed back, Max immediately left the car and opened the backseat door. People from the black van immediately pulled a stretcher and assisted Dragon's injured body, cautiously albeit swift.

For the short amount of minutes, the surviving enemies retreated like a bolt of lightning alas, some of Dragon's men won't let them off easily. It was as if they won't let anyone live as they tailed them. On the other hand, Dragon was successfully transferred to his private ambulance before it fled off leaving Seraphina -- as if her very existence was forgotten.

Seraphina tossed Captain Long's fallen body before she exhaustedly leaned her back against the car's side lower bumper as she let out a heavy sigh. Sitting on the muddy ground, Seraphina was neither displeased nor irked. Instead, she was relieved that Dragon's men arrived right on time.

Though Seraphina was confident that she can beat the whole group single-handedly, however, it might take her some time. Hence, the chances of Dragon's survival would lessen.

After some time, Seraphina heard a pair of footsteps approaching -- it was Dragon's shadow, Ezt. Seraphina arc her brows seeing an unfamiliar face approach her, alas, even though she could sense that Ezt has a formidable aura, it doesn't bear any threat towards her.

"Cigarette?" Seraphina lifelessly demanded as she looks away from the figure standing few feet away from her. Ezt wordlessly took slow strides before pulling a thin sculptured cigarette case. He then hands over a stick of cigarette and a plasma lighter.

Seraphina glanced at his hand that contains the very thing she needed now. Without a word, Seraphina snatched the items from his hand and leisurely lit a cigarette that she clips in between her plump pink lips.

Taking a long drag, she leaned her head on the car's bumper and looks at the starless night sky. The smoke particles could be seen drifting in the air until it completely vanished. Ezt didn't utter a word as he retracted his gaze from his master's woman and silently walks away.

At the same time, Seraphina smirks as she let out ridiculing light chuckles. Her laughs were akin to a person who's on a brink of crossing the thin line that separates sanity and madness.

Placing her arms on her bended knees, Seraphina bowed her head low -- still letting out her indistinct chuckles. Soon, her shoulders began to slightly tremble along with her laughs. From Eztli's perspective, she was just losing herself for a moment, but no one can see the tears that flow uncontrollably from her eyes.

"What a f*ck up world. Ha, ha," Seraphina murmurs in ridiculed.

'How can I forget that..' Seraphina continued inwardly.

Seraphina laughs and cries at the same time. What seems laughable for her is that she never realized that her feelings towards Dragon has reached the extreme and she would willingly take great danger just for his sake. Moreover, just the fact that she didn't know her boyfriend deeply sends red signals on her mind.

Even so, her feelings towards Dragon was too intense that Seraphina won't even take extra precautions despite the current incident. However, she still can't blame Dragon. Whatever secrets he was hiding, she won't probe any further.

Seraphina tilts her head back on the starless gloomy night sky. "What right do I have?" she murmurs, slowly placing the incident that just occured at the back of her mind -- making sure it was deeply buried and would soon be forgotten.
