Chapter 295 - Execute them

[Inside the Yue family mansion]

Unbeknownst to Seraphina, the people she was expecting were playing another tag of death. Hence, not receiving any update on where the hell are they, Seraphina summoned Rex to her grandfather's study room which she currently used.

"Any update?" Not turning her head as Seraphina peered at their huge family portrait hanging on the wall behind the desk chair, Seraphina inquired sensing Rex entrance.

"None." Rex sternly informed. Since he wasn't receiving any updates from his comrades that should've arrived hours ago, he commanded Wren to look up on the matter as he cannot leave Seraphina's side for a while.

After Rex's uttered his report, the whole study area soon shrouded with stifling silence as Seraphina didn't say a word afterwards. Observing his boss, Rex tried to understand Seraphina for awhile.

For the past two months, she kept coming back and forth about what to do with Liam Jin. Sometimes, she seemed acting while at times, she seemed genuinely concerned. Though she already reassured them about this occurrence, he cannot shrug the warning about Liam Jin.

Furthermore, Seraphina and Liam were expecting to wed in two months which Rex doesn't understand and Seraphina was not saying a word of clarity.

Rex was snapped back to reality when he felt his phone vibrating inside his suit pocket. Seeing it was X, he immediately answered the call thinking it was an emergency. After all, he should be on the plane now and seeing him reaching out to them means something had happened.

"Heya Rex, we have a little problem." By the tone of X, Rex brows knitted. He did said they had a problem but why does he sound so languid about it?

Thinking about what kind of problem they were currently in, Rex was struck with a realization. The only problem that X was too fed up to care and exert his muscles.

"Venus?" Rex spoke as if he was certain yet, he still had a touch of doubt in his tone.

"Precisely. She's going on a rampage -- I'm afraid they are gathering lots of attention now." X reported before hearing his flight called out and he hanged up without short notice.

Hearing the line came to an end, Rex sighed heavily as if restraining himself from putting a hole in his comrades head. They were already instructed to arrived as silently as possible yet, they seemed to not take the orders and still go on a loose. If it was before, he might not feel this fury in him.

Alas, now is a different ball game. First, Seraphina's identity might get exposed. Second, their boss was already thinking a lot of issues hence, shouldn't they behave for once? Is it that hard to understand for them not to comply?

As if Seraphina sensed Rex disp_l_e_a_s_u_r_e, she spun the executive chair she was sitting on to see the rare and almost indiscernible fury on Rex's eyes. If she didn't know any better, Seraphina won't know what's bothering him alas, he was her right-hand man and could see through his heart.

"What is it?" Seraphina leaned closer on the edge of the desk and placed her arms while clasping her hands together -- seeking for an explanation. She was prepared for hearing the worst news seeing Rex showed his emotions. Yet, the words she received made her brows twitch.

"They arrived but… Venus was on a manhunt." Rex responded through his gritted teeth attempting to sound as normal as possible.

Seraphina: "..." blinking her eyes without a change of expression, Seraphina was too tired to be shocked about the news. After all, Venus can be a 'little' crazy at times whenever someone touched her bottom line. Alas, what baffled her is why does Rex seem to vexed about it?

"Call her, tell her I'm sending her a gift if she behaved." After scrutinizing Rex for a moment, Seraphina finally broke the awkward silence enveloping inside the whole study room. After all, she believed that X probably had done something to protect their identity and they only needed the crazy cat from going on a rampage. Hence, the only thing that can calm Venus was the name Luciano and his intentions alone.

With that said note, Rex nodded in understanding and excused himself to execute them or rather execute the plan. When he left, Seraphina shook her head in disbelief. Probably because every one of them hadn't had a biological family left, they treated each other as family.

However, this kind of relationship is quite too sweet to their standard that their cuddled equals to choking and endearments by curses. Slightly massaging her temples by the endless childish act of her subordinates, Seraphina for some reason made the corner of her lips curled upward.

"These people… really, ha," she mumbled along with a chuckle. But, soon, Seraphina was interrupted by her forming laughter when she heard her phone rang. Seeing it came from the Jin Medical Group, her heart started to race at a fast pace. Her hand slightly trembled as she reached for her ringing phone.

Answering the call without saying a word, Liam's grim voice went through. "Sera… "

After hearing Liam's next words, Seraphina lost her grip on her phone causing it to crash on the carpeted floor. He whole world gradually came into a halt and her mind malfunctioned -- couldn't process the words threw at her.

"no…"
