Chapter 281 - Alcina And Phantoms

Outside the Bar!

As the man ran out of the bar, Alcina ran behind him as she was a few inches away from catching him, a car appeared before her since it was a busy road. She jumped on the car swiftly and then jumped on the other. A kid watching the scene standing by the road saw Alcina jumping over the cars and shouted, "Superwoman!" 

As the man turned into a tight street, Alcina kept following him. He wasn't able to escape her. 

Suddenly, the man stopped on the street before he was blocked, he turned back to find another path to escape but found Alcina blocking him. 

"Queen" 

The young man was not sure why Queen looked bored.

Alcina stepped ahead and caught him by his collar."Did you forget who your teacher is?"

The young man looked into her eyes, hatred, and disgust burning in his, and said, "You are not my teacher anymore. You betrayed the organization. You were not supposed to leave it ever. Anyone who you call a teacher must deserve the title as well. And Queen, you don't deserve your title anymore." 

Alcina was a tiny bit surprised to see the kid she took as her disciple staring at her without shrinking in fear. Seemed like they forgot what it meant to be tormented by the Queen of Serpents. Don't you worry she will remind him soon. 

The young boy merely reached near Alcina's nose since she was a tall woman. So as frail as she looked, she caught him by his collar in the air and then threw him at the concrete wall. 

As the young man stood up to fight, she grabbed his collar again and knocked his head again at the cement wall. "I forgot to teach you that 'a teacher for a day is a teacher for life'."

"You can't manipulate me, Queen. I was foolish back then to have trusted you in the past. Now I'm no longer a kid but a man. I know what to learn and what not!" The kid was not one to back down. What a coincidence! Neither was Alcina. 

Seeing that the kid was not giving up, Alcina planned to play with him a little longer. Although she knew quite well why he was here. Since they had happened to come across one another, she would definitely leave a welcome gift for his boss. 

Leaning against the wall, she rummaged out a cigarette from her pocket and held it between her lips. She checked his pocket and took out a lighter. 

"Since you do not consider me your teacher, you have no right to keep it," Alcina said as she lit the cigarette. 

"So where were we?" Alcina said once she was done with the cigarette.

"You're a betrayer and a disgrace to the organization!" 

"Ah, isn't that what the organization is talking about me these days?" Alcina asked him, almost amused."That I used to manipulate those dimwits? Dimwits sitting at posts like them, thinking they are ruling the world for its betterment if it's not manipulation what it is? I might have stroked their manly ego, but manipulation? That's not an area this Queen is skilled with." This Queen only knew mind control. Of course, she didn't add it. 

"You still have a chance, Queen. They will take you back if you come with me," the young man said proudly. 

Alcina was now really amused. Take me back? Woah. Did they even deserve her? Phantoms really knew how to amuse her again and again. 

"Little worm, tell this teacher of yours, did you tell them what I look like?" Alcina asked him with raised brows. 

The young man gulped while looking at Alcina's poisonous green eyes. What could he say? Queen of Serpents was also called a Queen of disguises. No one knew what she exactly looked like. Not even the organization's top officials. Except for this young man. He has once seen Alcina in her full glory and as bewitching as she was, he wasn't able to forget her face. 

If Prince Amaris learned that the Queen of Serpent wasn't a middle-aged woman but a young woman and an extremely beautiful one, he would have made her his. Who didn't know about Amaris's obsession with extraordinary beauties? Who in the organization didn't know to what extent he was crazy for another extraordinary beauty --Xin Zhenyi? If not for the head of the organization, Amaris would have wreaked havoc when a scandal arose a few days before -- Xin Zhenyi was getting married to a nobody.

Coming to Alcina, this little worm couldn't define what Alcina looked like in actuality when Prince Amaris asked him. It was as if his voice couldn't come out of his throat whenever he was trying to define Alcina. It was bizarre as it was true. 

The young man shook his head in answer. Yes, he couldn't reveal her real identity as Alcina already knew. 

Alcina, who was still leaning her tall body against the wall, laughed. "Tell me, little worn. That good for nothing prince sent you to the lion's lair to kill the man who's engaged to Xin Zhenyi according to the rumors?" 

She laughed even louder. And then, her expressions turned grim and she punched her ex-disciple, who didn't leave with a fight but only he could win against the teacher. 

"This is Lord Fucking Tang's sanctuary and you came here without protection. Let's forget another fact that you are sent here with your little army to drag me back, for a second," She said and punched his face. "You greedy little thing, someone threw a bait and you came out." Another punch. "Now you will die at the hand of Tang soldiers." 

"You betrayer!" He kicked Alcina. Of course, she was a little injured. She had taught him well. Still, the pathetic thing failed pathetically. "Prince Amaris made you the Queen of Serpent. You betrayed him by leaving the organization. What right do you have to reprimand me?"
