Chapter 69 - Become The Right-hand Man

Raine shrugged her shoulders, "I know, right? And it's so frustrating to me that I can't confirm whether you're a human or not. Ah, why don't you spare me being anxious and just tell me what you are?"

Tyrone chuckled, "But it's fun seeing you be curious about something so simple, so I don't have plans on telling you anything."

"You want me to remain curious, huh. Don't worry, I'll surely find out once our genius scientist doctor successfully comes up with a compound that can identify humans from mutants."

"I see. That way, you can take a break from hunting mutants. Since I'm now a part of your Moonlight Squad, how about I volunteer for you to test it with me first… that compound?" Tyrone suddenly offered, making Raine frown. 

"You're so weird. Just a while ago, you sounded like you don't want me to find out whether you're a human or mutant. And now, you are volunteering to be a test subject?" Raine grumbled. "You're thinking ahead, darling. Why don't you just focus on being my bodyguard for now?" 

"Yeah, why not? That way, I can enter the Mirage Territory, particularly the Moon Clan, right?" Tyrone suspiciously agreed. 

Raine raised her eyebrows as she replied, "Mirage Territory? Moon Clan?"

Tyrone had a smirk on his face as he boldly explained, "According to our investigation from the USA, the Moonlight Squad is connected to one of the three powerful clans in Mirage. It should be the Moon Clan's if I recall correctly," Tyrone nonchalantly stated.

With a frown, Raine murmured, "You seem too interested in those myths. Mirage is just a myth."

Tyrone didn't respond, merely sighing deeply at her denial.

"Don't get yourself worked up with those myths. What you should be focusing on is how you should please me," Raine reminded. "I hate betrayal, darling. So don't you dare betray me, or you will face the consequences of my wrath. You should leave now while I'm still being considerate. If you have any other plans beyond serving me and giving me your loyalty… Well, as I said, you already know what happens," she threateningly scoffed.

"If I run away now, your Uncle Yun will hunt me down. If I want to stay alive, it's more advisable to stick by your side," Tyrone bluntly suggested. "I'm sure no one will touch me once I become the right-hand man of the Bloody-Eyed Hunter. Touching me would be like signing your own death certificate." 

Stunned, Raine turned at him and scoffed, "Ambitious, I see…"

"Not ambitious. If I must say, I simply want to stay by your side for as long as I could," Tyrone mumbled out, avoiding her stare. He then promptly stood up before heading straight for her door, "I'm going back to my room next to you. Good night, Boss.

Raine could watch him leave the room with a frown. "How dare he play with me with those cheeky words…" She fumed for a bit before a bright idea hatched in her mind. A beautiful smile crept up on her face as she whispered, "If that's your play, then I guess I shall make you my right-hand man and see where this leads us…"

That night, Raine couldn't sleep so she went out. She frowned when she saw a suspicious person in a hoodie standing in front of Xander's room. There were flower petals falling one by one from the intruder's hand, and Raine could already tell that the person was up to no good.

For a brief second, the suspicious person bent down to seemingly check on their shoelace, even getting up as soon as their shoelaces were tied back. The person then turned in Raine's direction. At the sight of her, the mysterious person quickly ran towards the opposite direction away from her.

She inwardly cursed. That mysterious person would absolutely not run for nothing, so she quickly followed whoever that person was.

The mysterious person was relatively fast, but Raine was faster. She was about to catch that hoodied intruder too, if not for the person who suddenly grabbed her by the arm.

"Why are you running like a lunatic?" Rui asked with a frown.

Raine glared at him with raised brows before she scowled, "Oh, please, not again. Why are you roaming around like a stalker? Let go of me if you don't want to end up unconscious."

At her threat, Rui let her arm go and Raine immediately went back to her room and dialed Mia's number. Her delay made it impossible to follow the intruder anymore, so she had to at least get something out of it.

"Damn that meddler!" she cursed while waiting for Mia to answer her call.

After a few rings, Mia finally answered, "Hello-"

"Hack the system here and get me footage of the person outside Xander's room this instant," Raine instructed.

"Noted, Boss," Mia dutifully replied as she quickly worked with her hands on her keyboards. It was good timing that she was already doing other work in front of her computer. In just a few minutes, Mia had already sent Raine what she needed.

Raine quickly grabbed her iPad and opened the file Mia sent her. Her grip on her iPad tightened. She then massaged her temple with her other hand as she almost cracked her mobile phone while watching the video.

"What are you doing here, Megan?!" she hissed in annoyance. 

Megan was one of the best-trained members of the Shadow Beauties of the Moon Clan. As the cringey name suggested, they were beautiful female assassins from the Moon Clan trained to do wetwork operations for Moon Clan, or mostly known as the Yue Group to the business world.

It was her Uncle Yun's doing again. It was definitely him who sent Megan to kill Xander Yang!

Her mobile phone rang. It was Lyne.

"Boss, your Uncle will arrive there at country D come next week. He's planning a terrorist attack in the country. He's also facilitating a selected number Shadow Beauties for the task, and they plan to frame it all of their terrorist actions to the Quan Group."

Raine felt like her head would burst any minute by now. The Earth Clan was known as the Quan Group in the business world. How in the world would her Uncle Yun manage the consequences of his actions?

"How confident is he that he can pull this off without bringing the rest of the Moon Clan down with him, Lyne? Ah, can I just roast my Uncle alive?" Rain growled in irritation.

"We have another problem, Boss."

"What is it now?!" Raine exclaimed.

"Boss, the Military at country D is already aware of the existence of the Mirage.. They're currently investigating our group, calling it as part of the Mirage Triad."
