Chapter 100 - A Monster

The next day, Yun cursed early in the morning since Raine was still unreachable. So instead, he called Tyrone.

"How come her mobile phone was off?!" Yun hissed from another line.

"She's still in mourning. She just sent her two men away and we just came back to her private residence. You can always come here and see her in person instead," Tyrone informed.

Another curse came out of Yun's mouth before he annoyingly ended the call. He was having a breakfast meeting in one of the capital city's best hotels at country D with some of his business associates when he received a report that his men could no longer find an opportunity to accomplish the mission inside the hospital because of the air-tight security.

He excused himself, "Gentlemen, my assistant here will take over to discuss the rest of the meeting. I  have an emergency, unfortunately …"

"Bunch of idiots! Go and bring me to Raine this instant!" he hissed to his driver as soon as he was inside the car. 

He had been watching the CCTV footage they had from his assassin's camera, whom he had sent to finish Xander Yang off. Those familiar movements, he couldn't be wrong. Only Raine could move like that. The flexibility, the skillful attacks… 'This was definitely Raine.' 

However, Tyrone had informed him that Raine had already left the hospital with him last night. Raine had a perfect alibi that he would definitely not buy. He would confront that sly little devil fox himself.

He reached the private residence where Raine was staying. As he expected, the security was so tight that even he had to wait long before he could enter. He frowned upon seeing Raine doing her exercise in one of her private working areas. 

"Why do I have a feeling that you're stabbing me in the back?" Yun directly hissed as he sat on a chair, watching Raine sweating profusely as she walked towards him.

"Uncle… Are you accusing me? How can I stab a pillar like you?" Raine jested as she grabbed a towel to wipe herself clean. She joined her uncle on the bench chair." Surely I'll die if I do that.'' 

Yun ignored her words as he continued, "I will handle Xander this time since you're being slow. Or rather, you're stalling in killing him. So don't interrupt me this time!!!"

Raine's face became serious as she calmly stated, "Uncle… You're messing things up. I told you I'll handle the man myself, but you chose to plan very lousy attacks on him every time, putting the name of our whole clan in jeopardy. I even lost two of my best men!"

Raine tried her best to control her emotions. She remained calm in front of her uncle as she added, "I know everything that you're doing behind my father's back. Because of your lousy plans, I won't be surprised if Xander and his people will find out the truth soon. I'm also sure father won't be pleased if he comes to know of your failures and your bringing of the Mirage, particularly our Moon clan, to be connected with these stupidities…"

"You!!!" 

Yun abruptly stood up and was about to swing his cane on Raine when Tyrone defended Raine with his body. "You insolent girl!!! You're sharpening your horns, thinking you're the heir that would soon succeed your father. But let me tell you one thing… You are just a thing that's still useful simply because my brother will surely throw you out after he's done with using you, bi*tch!!! And I will throw you out as soon as my brother can no longer come back!" Yun shouted in rage. Raine could see the old man's face reddening with veins bulging on his forehead.

"Shh… Stay low…" Tyrone whispered to Raine when he noticed how her body trembled and her knuckles turned white.

Raine had a mocking smirk on her face as she remarked, "Uncle… Careful with your heart and blood pressure. Remember, you're not getting any younger and your project for immortality is always a failure. So if you don't wanna end up like father, I suggest you keep your cool."

Raine then looked at Tyrone's back and added, "Geez. Look at what you did. Tyrone's bleeding…"

She then gave her uncle a sharp stare as she continued, "I hope I'll no longer receive any disturbances like this again, because I will focus on rescuing some of our important people you had assigned to do another lousy job… Some of whom ended up getting caught by the military, mind you. I can't believe you gave them orders then just abandoned them just that. If I were you, I'd just stay quiet and let me clean all the messes you created." 

Raine stood up and gave her uncle one last glance. "Tsk… Tsk... " she mockingly clicked her tongue before leaving.

"Tyrone, she's getting out of hand!" Yun exclaimed with a burning glare aimed at Raine's back. 

That woman was getting on his nerves ever since she was born. She was always a pain in the ass! Always sticking her nose in his business ever since his brother fell in a coma!

"You know how she's been like ever since. Please don't take her words to heart. Her concern is just that the Moon Clan won't get involved in any scandal. Military intelligence has already found out that the mark of the cyclone your people used is a fake one. So right now, they have the Moon and Sun clans as suspects… instead of the Earth Clan, which you're trying to frame this all to," Tyrone explained.

Yun deeply sighed and looked at Tyrone, "Just make sure you keep her in her place, Tyrone. How come you cannot babysit her well enough?! You useless bastard! I need her to stay put. Can you at least do that simple thing?!"

Tyrone clasped his fist as Yun left him. He let out a long disoriented sigh.. Babysit her? Raine was like an unleashed monster that nobody could babysit unless they're a monster themselves.
