Chapter 328 - Love, don't be jealous

Riggs dragged Loki inside the seemingly normal resthouse while Jack languidly followed suit after he flicked his cigarette and stepped on it.

"What happened to them?" Wren questioned as he helped Rex to get up. Seeing that both Leon and Rex were a bloody mess, he was somewhat bewildered on what triggered Rex to do such a thing.

"The usual… he pulled him back." Tito briefly explicates which Wren instantly understood.

As stated, Leon was the most dangerous among them. Not because of his insane and unremorseful killing but when he gets so worked up, he also lose his conscious mind. Moreover, the scene when Dragon stole a kiss from Seraphina might have an added impact to trigger Leon.

Hence, the most capable person aside from Seraphina to get Leon back to his right mind would be Rex. After all, Rex wasn't as careless as Riggs and as skewed as Jack.

"So that's why," Wren mumbled before he began taking strides inside the premises followed by Tito that was carrying Leon.

Ace, on the other hand, felt lost, once again. He watched as his comrades get inside the premises as if nothing happened. For Pete's sake, they almost died back in there and what did they get in return? 

Just one man. Moreover, why everyone was complete? Except for Venus, everyone was present -- right in Seraphina's place! Just what was going on?

Shaking his head sideways, Ace was certain that he'll get his answer soon. Hence, he didn't idle on the outside anymore as he was the only one left.

-----

Riggs, on the other hand, was already having a bottle of beer together with Jack. While Tito, Rex, Leon, and Wren was out of sight which he was sure that they were tending to the two injured people.

Looking around, he couldn't find even Seraphina's shadow which made Ace brows creased.

"So, did I won the bet or what?" Riggs tilted his head towards Jack's direction; completely ignoring Venus standing curvy figure at the center.

"Uh, mime boy won," Jack uttered in a matter-of-factly tone. He added, "just that 'smooch smooch' proves that."

Hearing his statement, Riggs cast him a disdainful look as if he was insulting Jack's lineage inwardly. However, before he could even react, Venus lashed out.

"Smooch who?! Did that… what did that scoundrel do to my hubby?" She pointed her red manicured nails in front of Jack and her expression tells him that if he said the wrong words, she'll poke his eye.

"Ey, did you just call her hubby? Though I'm still surprised that you knew that fact even before that person over there." Riggs commented after nearly choking on the acidic liquor he was drinking.

"Venus is here as well. What's going on and why are you here… all of you?" Ace who couldn't contain his curiosity inside burst out.

Just then, Alexander Han together with X and Wren came arrived at the living area which shocked Ace to the core. He wouldn't be surprised if it's only X but Alexander Han? What was he doing here?

"Oh my god… where is my dear?" Venus aggressively inquired seeing the two entered the living area.

"They're under." Alexander Han muttered solemnly. It was evident that he's mood was as sullen as Venus as he headed to the kitchen and grab a couple of bottles of beer.

"You! I can't believe you left her with that person!" Venus grumbled before starting to go where X and Alex came from. Alas, before she could go even further, X blocked her by stretching his arms.

"Don't. We were told not to disturb them." X reminded solemnly.

"WHAT. THE. F*UCK. IS. GOING. ON?!" Ace who was about to lose his mind by the uncertainties yelled that could reach the next town with how loud he spat his query.

"Oh dear, I appreciate you want me all by yourself." Dragon grinned widely as he took strides and stop in front of the chair where Seraphina was sitting.

Placing down both his palm on the armrest of the chair, his gaze met her black and dangerous pair of eyes. 

"If you're that thirsty, then ask someone else to be your outlet." As usual, Seraphina coldly replied; unbothered with the majestic front of Dragon that was inches away from her face.

"Love, don't be jealous. I already know my wrongs… are you still unwilling to forgive me?" Still, Dragon didn't back down as he closes the gap between them. He added in the most provocative way possible,

"Tell me first, why do you want to kill me?"
