Chapter 228 - Jack was captured

"Not him… the old man; Luciano." Seraphina continued after a long pause. Though she was known as Luciano in the underworld, there is another one before her that until now, holds a great influence in the underworld. Whether he is on her side or turned against her -- Seraphina needs to find out herself.

Leon didn't utter a word as he left Seraphina alone. A glint of malicious intent flashes across his eyes as he enters the grand mansion. No one knows what he was thinking but the aura he emits was dangerous enough to sense that he was about to unleash the beast that was on a slumber for a long time.

'Bambina… you should have known me well.'

The next day…

Seraphina slightly opened her eyes but close them again by the blinding light coming from the sun. Putting her arms to cover her eyes, she stayed in her position for a while before making a gap for her to see the clear blue sky.

Apparently, she fell asleep in the mansion's vast garden without a care in the world. Supporting herself to sit up by her hands, a duvet that was covering her fell down to her lap. Glancing at the sheet, Seraphina immediately retracted her gaze away from the white duvet as she scans the whole area.

She could still feel the drug on her but was more bearable to quell in the d_e_s_i_r_es that forcefully pushing her to the edge. Even so, Seraphina was confident that she can control herself now unlike yesterday.

"Coffee?" suddenly, a deep manly yet his tone was screaming with manliness reached her ears. Hearing the familiar voice of Rex, Seraphina didn't bother to turn her eyes on him as she peered the nothingness ahead.

"Hmm." she hummed then Rex crouched down and shoved the cup of hot coffee in front of her. Seraphina slightly raised her head to see Rex exquisite profile with the small mole under his eyes that adds to his alluring front then accepted the coffee without a word.

As soon as Seraphina took a sip, Rex unhesitantly reported the current occurrence, "Jack is now being detained in the state prison." though his words should alarm Seraphina, alas, both of them was calmer than they should be.

"I see. So, that's what happened…"

Country Y's state prison; Interrogation room

Jack was calmly sitting while his hands that were handcuff was resting on the table. The basic stripped down interrogation room only had a two-way mirror which he was sure that the authority was observing him and had a perfect stage setup to view a different angle. A table and three chairs for the interrogator and for the suspect which is him.

However, the room only had him which made Jack a little bored. Leaning his back against the seat support, Jack clasped his hands together as his languid gaze turns to the two-way mirror then smirks.

The observant on the side of the mirror gulped a little sensing a cold shrill run down their spine seeing Jack's calm yet perilous being. Earlier, the whole state prison had a morning shock as Jack walked-in and claimed that he was turning himself in.

Confirming that he was indeed one of the most wanted and was considered a threat to the whole nation; they detained him in a harsh manner. Alas, Jack didn't retaliate and just let them handcuffed him and put him down.

Since the news about him being captured, the authorities and other high officials have been notified in an instant. But, instead of being relieved, Jack's initiation of surrendering himself gave them a very uneasy feeling. After all, Jack was known as a very cunning man and won't raise the white flag just because he was bored from running from the authorities.

"Finally, I have company." Jack greeted bemused by the presence of the two well-known law body of the country.
