Chapter 385 - Won't fall for it

Jack followed the man he hypnotized from the distance to enjoy the sight of the intruders killing each other. However, the longer he followed the man's tail, they passed through dead body lying.

The time Jack saw another body lying on the ground, Jack stopped as he squatted down to check his pulse. The person shed no blood, and Jack didn't hesitate if the person was just faking it or not. After all, with the person's position lying face front, he would be at a disadvantage, regardless.

Jack checked his pulse to confirm his initial thought. After several seconds, he tossed the arm away as he has no pulse. Since the man she no blood unlike the three bodies he passed by, there was only a person who would kill a person with less blood being shed as possible: REX.

"F*ck you, Rex and Leon!! F*cking psychopaths!" He cursed through his gritted teeth. It was easy to guess that Leon also joined the party as the most gruesome bodies he saw earlier was the same pattern Leon leave in his victims.

With that said note, Jack immediately traced the trails of his hypnotized one as it would be unfair if he dies in those two's hands. His fun hasn't started yet, it seemed it ended a long time ago! How could his boss unleash those two?

Soon, Jack finally reached a part of the forest where his puppet remained standing, rooted on the ground and unmoving. His nightmare came to reality as before his human puppet, Leon and Rex were already there.

Leon sitting on two dead bodies he piled while wiping the blood in his entire hand as if he dipped it into someone else's body while Rex, on the other hand, was leaning on the tree, several steps away from Leon. By the looks of it, they were discussing something when the human puppet came.

The two were looking at the man who, although not in his conscious mind, sensed the aura surrounding the area. He knew, deep down, that one more step forward, he would die even without knowing it. 

Must he raise his gun or not? Would they kill him regardless of what he does?

"Jack, you're late." Casting Jack standing behind the man, Leon languidly uttered. Jack just frowned before he assaulted the immobilized in front of him. After a chop of his hand, the man was instantly knocked down. 

"What's the meaning of this?" Jack raised his head and altered his gaze from Leon to Rex. He wasn't pleased about this whole circus his boss was playing at. He couldn't able to toy with the last person whom he assumed the last one alive. After all, they needed to know where they came from and who's their boss.

"The meaning is what you think — I don't know." Leon just shrugged his shoulders before he placed both his palms on the person's back he used as a couch and leaned back.

"Leon, drop it." Suddenly, Rex spoke. "Or else, you'll have to stay longer with Mariel." The wind howled in a harsh manner. Few leaves left the branch they clung on as it floated in the air. The aroma of blood stained the air as the atmosphere gradually turned eerie.

Jack was lost why the vibe between Leon and Rex grew heavier every passing second. "What are you talking about?" Knitting his brows, Jack inquired as he slid his hand inside his pocket to get himself a cigarette.

"Luciano." Rex cast Jack a side glance as he uttered that single name. He didn't need to explain further as Jack has his own head to figure out their whole discussion.

His response was immediately analyzed inside Jack's head. Just like what Rex expected. he got the gist of it. Based on Leon's personality and Rex, Leon was urging Rex to hunt Luciano without the boss's permission. However, Rex only heeded Seraphina's words like a holy gospel.

With their current plan about a heist, Seraphina would surely want their presence or just Leon behaving. After all, the only one who was not taking part in that particular mission was Leon and Rex. If only Rex wasn't injured, he would surely have his own role, but not Leon.

Leon, Seraphina only uses him for an assassination mission. He liked those gore, life and death mission. Aside from those, he would usually keep him on the side, which he didn't mind as he wasn't interested in those kinds of tasks. They were not enough to entice or even give him the slightest interest.

Regardless of his lack of participation, Leon was still second to Seraphina — both him and Rex. Although none of them cared about ranks or anything of the sort, deep down, they would often listen to these two's commands whenever the big boss was not around or out of reach.

"Bambina, I won't fall for it." Just then, Leon chuckled as he murmured, enough for the two to hear through their keen ears. "Jack, drag them inside and tell Tito to burn or bury the body." Surprisingly enough, Leon didn't pursue his own plan as he commanded Jack.

With that said note, Leon slowly stood from his human cushion and cooly walked away, towards their temporary headquarters. His action and words surprised Jack as it was very unlikely of him to stop if he has a plan in his mind. 

Meanwhile, Rex watched Leon's retreating back. Nothing changed in his stoic front, but a glint flashed across his eyes. For some reason, he didn't believe that Leon was completely throwing the matter away. He knew him very well. He surely has his own plan.

Rex already guessed what Seraphina has in her mind. She wouldn't let them be while recovering if she truly wanted them to recover that soon. Well, to be exact, she didn't want Leon to recover that soon. Hence, knowing that the only person who could stop him was him, she casually let them exercise.

"I'll inform Tito about the location of each body. I'm going back in, my wound opened up." Without turning to the displeased Jack, Rex muttered before he began taking strides back to their headquarters. 

"I shouldn't take part in this next time." Jack grumbled as he watched Rex retreat while holding on his abdomen. "X! You there?! Help me!" Jack shouted, knowing X must be watching and hearing him from the bugs he planted around. After all, his current standpoint had entered X's monitoring vicinity and he would surely see and hear him.

But to no avail, he received no response which left him to do the cleanup while waiting for Tito to arrive.
