"By the way, where's Luciano?"
After that stifling momentary silence, Riggs' voice was finally heard.
"Wren said 'boss' woman' but he left critical words in between. What he means is the boss, Luciano is a woman." Riggs stated in a serious note.
Since earlier, when the news about Seraphina's abduction reached him, Riggs didn't utter a word as the dark aura he emits was getting deadly by the second. If anyone who knew well about Seraphina's current dilemma -- it would be Riggs.
Ultimately, he was always with her and Seraphina discloses some important details to him such as who is her enemy. Hence, the first person who comes into Riggs' mind when he first heard the news is Dragon.
Thus, he couldn't help but conclude a lot of scenarios on how the man kidnapped her that easily. After all, Seraphina has the brawn.
"Oh, so, that's how she really looks like behind those fats." The first one who snapped from the shock was Leon who had a complex grin on his lips.
"Bloody hell…" X staggered on the line in awe. Though the news was too sudden and unbelievably ridiculous, alas, if Wren and Riggs were absolute about it then it means she already proved her that she wathe real deal.
On the other hand, Rex managed to keep his silence as if he didn't hear the news. No one knows what was going to his mind but, regardless, that mission immediately raised its importance to another degree.

[3 hours later]
Dragon finally arrived to an unknown deserted island. With Seraphina on his hand, he entered a grand mansion with only a few people in sight.
He was unbothered by the greetings of the few people that were present as he headed straight away to an enormous room.
Laying her delicate body on the bed, Dragon stares at Seraphina's flushed and drench with sweat profile. Surely, the drug that was on her system was much stronger than he thought.
"Wife, you are so careless. You should have known that you were being poison in just a sip." He shakes his head in frustration before leaving her.
After a minute or two, Dragon came back with a bowl of water, towel and clothes for her. Without a word, he wipes her face and neck. He then took off her black blazer jacket. Since Seraphina didn't have the chance to change to a much flexible outfit, the business attire gave her a suffocating feeling.
"Sera… I am very, very angry." Dragon murmurs while unbuttoning her business polo sleeves.
"Because of you, my child died -- our child died." His hand slightly tremble as if he was restraining himself to lose control and might probably hurt her out of the suppressed anger he kept all these years.
After some time, Dragon manages to calm himself and proceeded to unbutton her top -- undressing her with only her u_n_d_e_r_g_a_r_m_e_n_ts intact.
Dragon then wipes her burning and sweating body with great constraint, afraid that he might take her then and there. He then continue to proceed to remove her slacks and did the same process.
After cleaning Seraphina, Dragon gently clothed her with an oversized shirt of his to give her comfort.
"I know I don't deserve you but, I am selfish. So, stop digging your own grave by hanging with the people you don't truly know." Dragon's eyes soften with a touch of guilt and pain. No one, even Seraphina can comprehend his words but his voice was genuinely worried -- concerned about her well-being.
Whether Seraphina hates her to death or people see him as the main antagonist alas, Dragon could not care less -- because, for him, everything he does was for her own good.
But, Seraphina kept on placing and treating her pawns in a wrong way that might backfire on her someday.
Though Dragon was well aware that Seraphina loathe him, but, what baffles him is her ways of doing her plans. After all, Seraphina has a great mind and she should have known of who should and who shouldn't trust.
After some time, the people who greeted him earlier came knocking on the door which Dragon gave permission to enter.
"Master --"
"Just get her treated." Dragon interferes with the foreign man's dialogue as he gestured him to start treating Seraphina's poisoned body.
