Chapter 26 - If It’s Him

The next morning, Raine got ready to go to work with Lyne. She was excited to go to the office, knowing that her Uncle Yun was definitely going to give her her long-awaited surprise today.

As usual, Levi prepared breakfast for them.

"Hopefully, Stella will be able to join us soon," Raine commented. She finished her breakfast, stood up, and signaled Lyne.

Levi stood as well but Raine said, "Levi, you should stay here with Mia. Lyne will drive me to the office. Also I will have a new bodyguard from today.

"But Boss," Levi protested because ever since he started working, he was with her wherever she went.

"Mia needs you here, Levi. Stella can be a handful and we can't get any help from people we don't trust. Stay here, alright?" Raine instructed with a smile and Levi could do nothing but say, "Yes, Boss. I understand," and sigh.

Raine and Lyne soon left the hide-out.

Raine took her tablet and double-checked the files regarding Stella and the research on the Voyager's Watch. She had heard about it from her father when she was young as it was one of the things he wanted in his possession. To put it simply, her father was also searching for that watch.

"Boss, do you think Stella knows where the watch is?" Lyne asked as she drove the car.

"Hmm, probably. That watch… It's honestly troublesome. Just remember not to ask her about it as it's the cause for the death of her only family. It is also the reason she became a werewolf against her will. Let's just focus on finding those mutants responsible for the murders. This is really alarming… Those monsters are attacking in broad daylight without any sense of consequences. Someone is undoubtedly behind this…"

"Could it be the new werewolf King of Convel Society?" Lyne asked. Raine frowned as she thought about it. She had heard about the sudden uprise of that werewolf king, Theodulf… He was a ruthless supreme alpha but now rules the civilized werewolves of the underworld. He replaced Decan, who was one of the mortal enemies of her father. Decan was the one responsible for her father's vegetative state.

Decan… She will bring him down soon… But before that, she had to honor her father's last request before he fell unconscious. He wanted her to wait for him to wake up before she made a move against Decan.

"We need to investigate further and not jump to conclusions this early, Lyne," Raine commented.

She did not know why but her heart would thump whenever she heard about the so-called new werewolf king, Theodulf.

"That Theodulf gained the throne by fighting and defeating Decan. I bet Decan is still sulking about it," Lyne commented with a grin.

"He was already too old so new werewolves would eventually challenge him to the throne. What bothers me is that we weren't able to get any details about Theodulf except for the description of his personality?"

"Ever since he became the king, Mia started having a hard time hacking into their system," Lyne almost whispered. Mia was honestly glad that Raine didn't bring up or ask about Convel Society because she still couldn't hijack their system like she used to.

Raine's eyebrows arched as she mumbled, "Is that so? Hmm… I guess the only way to know more about Theodulf is to actually meet him. Then all I have to do is sit back and wait till father wakes up before attacking them."

Raine took a deep breath before resting her head on the headrest of the car. There were many things for her to do, not to mention her mission at Yang Global Hospital in Country D. As soon as Tyrone becomes her bodyguard, she will have to fly to Country D to finish her pending job there. She had to fix that problem before her father woke up.

After some time, the car stopped and Lyne announced, "We are here, Boss."

Raine slowly opened her eyes as a very cunning smile carved on her face. Her eyes darted to the car before theirs and she could immediately recognize the owner. She saw her Uncle Yun step out of the car but what made her lips smile was the man who opened the door for her uncle.

"What a lovely day it is to have seen such a handsome man so early in the morning," she whispered as she got out of her car. She had particularly chosen to wear a sexy formal outfit that showed a fair amount of skin that perfectly fit her body like a glove, emphasizing her curves. The white v-neck shirt exposed a fair bit of her cleavage, not to mention the black pencil skirt which hugged her lower body.

"Good morning, Raine," Yun greeted her with a smile and he waited for her so that they could enter the building together.

"Good morning, uncle," Raine said, smiling back at her uncle, who was obviously in a good mood and she knew the reason why. So Raine gave him the satisfaction by giving Tyrone a look from head to toe.

"You have a new man around?" Raine commented, her eyes staring at Tyrone as if she was a predator ready to attack her prey.

Yun noticed her gaze and his smile widened. It looked like he made a wise decision hiring Tyrone. His stubborn niece was obviously smitten by him.

"Yeah, he's new," Yun answered. He looked at Tyrone and said, "Introduce yourself Tyrone."

Tyrone quietly sighed and looked at Raine as he politely said, "Good morning Ma'am. I am Tyrone Lopez."

"We meet again… How interesting," Raine commented.

"You two have met already?" Yun naively asked.

Raine winked at her uncle and said, "Yeah, we have. Uncle, I've taken a liking to him.. How about you send him to me? I will only accept a bodyguard from you if it's him."
