Chapter 251 - yes ma'am!

Seraphina who was witnessing the whole scene unfold before her eyes can't help but twitch. 'Good thing I ate my lunch.' she thought as her eyes landed on Tuna's slimy saliva that drips from Max's face.

Turning her attention back to the phone as she had enough of the disgusting ways of the fatty, Seraphina subtly smiles reading the short message that she just received albeit, she didn't respond in return and slid back her phone on the back pocket of her jeans.

"That's enough."

"Hehe, black cat, what can you say?" Tuna giddily inquired referring to his mental torture towards Max who's evidently disgusted by his act.

"Lame. That can only affect ordinary people." Seraphina commented in a matter of factly tone. Indeed, for someone like Max who already experienced a lot of dark occurrences, this mundane mental torture isn't enough to affect Max -- it will only annoy him in the least.

The smug grin on Tuna's greasy lips slowly dissipated hearing the poor evaluation of Seraphina. Though his torture seems lame, alas, with this kind of torture, men and women would really give in -- that's proven and tested.

"Do you know him? That's Max by the way -- the right-hand man of the celestial triad." Seraphina trivially uttered as if it wasn't a piece of big news to her. Alas, unlike her and Tito's unfazed reaction, Tuna and the other soldico's present were stunned silly hearing Max backing.

They expected that he was probably an idiot bastard that happened to offend the underbosses of Luciano's, hence, they are teaching him a lesson or probably trying to recruit him with his performance two nights ago. Regardless, the news of Max being a lieutenant in the Triad is rather a shocking news.

Surely, if he has that kind of position, not to mention, in Dragon's family -- then, did they just been caught up in the war between two influential families in the underworld? Given that Tuna was under Luciano's organization, alas, he can be considered a kid compared to the parent organization and this kind of predicament -- he can't still handle it on his own. He will surely be a cannon fodder, definitely.

"Oh, Tuna boy, don't overthink too much -- that would be unhealthy," Seraphina advises as if she guessed what was Tuna thinking. After all, it would be unnatural if Tuna didn't felt frightened if he knew that he was about to face a powerful enemy.

Indeed, this is what Seraphina was planning. She wanted for this hard-headed underling of hers to know the difference of their power. To someone like Tuna who thinks too highly of himself since he now called the shots in the central city, and was probably thinking of growing his influence by currying more favor from other outsource organization -- that can actually threaten her position as a Don.

Moreover, Seraphina can't let a rat inside her organization hence, she has to make them have their own dilemma to cling on her and take refuge on her power. Knowing the vengeful nature of the people in the underworld, they will surely take revenge on her and all the participant.

Of course, they will start on the easiest target which is Tuna since it's impossible to touch Seraphina at the moment. Seraphina brightly smiled to the foolish expression plastered across Tuna's face as she knew he realizes the trap she led him in.

"You know that in the underworld, your unbending loyalty is either your ticket to live and die but most likely to live... So, clear your head now, will you stay as a loyal dog or a walking corpse?"

Tuna's lower lips slightly tremble as a lump was stuck on his throat. Of course, Seraphina won't summon him without any reason and she was probably well-aware of him breaking Luciano's rules. Hence, he quickly pondered the pros and cons of what he should answer.

"I -- I surrender!" Tuna immediately kowtowed to Seraphina's direction. Probably because of anxiousness, his body felt lighter and made him kowtow in an instant. Seraphina smiled in satisfaction seeing that Tuna was wiser than he looks like.

"Good. We'll talk about your punishment next time. By the way, how was Victor Wang?" Seraphina turned her attention to Mike who was keeping his mouth tightly shut on the corner of the room. Sensing that Seraphina's menacing gaze was on him, he clears his throat before relaying his report.

"Hungry gays are feasting on him -- for the past week."

"That's more like it -- Funny isn't Max? Do you perhaps know Victor Wang?" Unmoving from her position, Seraphina crossed her arms as she innocently looks at Max slimy face. Meekly smiling, she resumed,

"Well, you see, I don't have any grudge towards the man... it just so happens that it's my way of saying thanks to that little artist of his. Thanks to her -- I didn't exert much effort to meet my good fella Tuna. Do you get my point? Be good to me and I don't mind messing with one or two of your enemy but mess with me... I'll mess with you too. Easy as one two three. Tuna are you listening?"

"Yes, ma'am!" Tuna who was still kowtowing and as if on cue immediately affirmed.

"huh, I did what I have to do. You will understand it if that happens to your boss Luciano." Max scoffs in ridiculed not a bit frightened by Seraphina's words. Indeed, he was just doing his own purpose in securing their organization since Dragon had turned soft towards her and was willing to forgive her despite that she raised her gun to his master.

"I know, that is why I'll spare your life. alas --" Seraphina stops midway her sentence as she straightens her stance and started taking small strides towards Max. When she was in front of him, Seraphina didn't utter a word as a paramount kick landed on Max -- making him crash to the hard, dusty concrete floor.
