Chapter 50 - oh, its you

"Dammit! Are you tryna kill me?!" Riggs quirky voice was heard behind the wall.

"Oh. It's you." hearing the quirky voice of her precious confidant, Seraphina acknowledge his presence. Slowly revealing himself — Riggs' eyes widen at the sight of her. The majority of her body and face was covered with blood, if he had not heard her voice seconds ago, he would not recognize her.

But what shocked him more was the sight of the few people being held —dead and alive. The two crying man pleading for their lives, two who are obviously dead and a woman meekly howling at her gruesome situation —one can tell that she can die any minute.

"Right, can you hand over the bucket of coke over there?" still disoriented as he is, Seraphina commands him as if she was just asking for tea to hand over to her.

'How can this happen? She is indeed a troublemaking princess but this is too extreme to process. Is this all her doing? How can this vulnerable looking lady do this?'

Series of questions float in his mind one after another. It was utterly mind-blowing. Though he works for her for a 'long' period of time now, all he knew was she was a whiny cry-baby. There was a time that she accidentally cuts her finger picking up a broken glass. Her reaction was too extreme he almost quit his job. She started to w_h_i_n_e day and night about how hurt she was, causing Sebastian Yue to accompany her for two days with their family doctor and a nurse as if she was dying.

Those days only proved how spoiled she was. That time, he was convinced that it's her nature that even though she has amnesia she acts 'normal', or that's what the information he gathered from the Yue's family servants —that she is indeed quite a lady even before her accident. But all the picture of this lady's childish bratty images in his mind slowly cracked, until it completely shattered hearing her monotone behest.

"I wish Rex is here to witness this stupid face you're making." with the look of disdain, Seraphina uttered. Without delay, Riggs grab the pistol slipped in his pants waistband then aimed at her.

"Who are you?!" he turned serious hearing her uttering Rex name. Knowing that only a few people know his confidant's real identity and he is the only one who has the audacity to use his name as his nickname.

"You are the nth person to ask who I am and you are the only person I am willing to answer. It's me, the most adorable and the biggest daddy of all time. Surprise?" not a change on her tone, Seraphina drop another mind-boggling fact.

"You think I'll buy that? You're not in any way near Big Daddy." Riggs scoffs still pointing the gun at her.

"Err. That's the whole point of disguising isn't?" She explained in a matter of factly tone.

"That's impo--"

"Seriously, are we doing this now? Do you want me to say how Rex humiliated you one time at --" Her tone sounds bored as if there is not a gun aiming at her but was abruptly interrupted by Riggs.

"Alright!" Riggs manner of speech changes a complete 180 degree as if half-heartedly acknowledging Seraphina as Big Daddy.

"or my 500 million." the doubt that was lingering unto him completely vanished hearing the last words she uttered. Indeed, Big Daddy lends him 500 million dollars cash which he burned by gambling and spent doing fun stuff. No one knows that until he realized the money was almost gone and asked for financial donations to his confidants giving them the knowledge that Big Daddy lends him a huge sum of money.

"Bi- Big Daddy? Is not dead?" one of the men who wet his pants muffled in disbelief. Rumors about the infamous Luciano aka Big Daddy's disappearance circulated in the underground society — that he is dead given to how many crime organization he offended, adding to the fire that his men dispersed a year ago.

"I was."

"He is alive and kicking, this building is the witness." Sounding proud, Riggs announced as he assured that only this building will be the witness of this revelation.

"BOSS~!" finally acknowledging Seraphina — that he is no doubt Luciano. Only Luciano will be this crazy to step into an enemies territory and dominate it single-handedly. Almost jumping from joy, he skipped towards Seraphina but before he could pounce on her, she steps back.

"Get that bucket of coke and shove them all to him, he's the chemist."

"Yes, sir! How about that one?" getting his balance back, as if an obedient little soldier, he saluted then turned his head to the other guy asking what she wanted to do to him.

"Ah, Shoot him. We still have a lot of work to do; ship their bodies and make bombs."

*BANG!*

Not a millisecond delay, Riggs shoot the man down not giving the man a chance to plead then spoke,

"Eh? Boss, you didn't know? This place has a self destruct." the weight of Riggs information hurts more than the sound of his colleagues being shot dead. The man whom Seraphina called the chemist has a more disbelief look on his face.

"Ho—how did…"

"Ah, that? I went all over the place looking for a princess and saw that but here I found the king, queen instead." correcting himself, his shameless brow-nosing started, his sparkling eyes landed on the bloody Seraphina as he got the bucket of drugs underneath the desk. Stopping in front of the chemist, a large sly grin formed on his face.

"Have a taste of your own medicine, Mr. Chemist." grabbing his jaw, he forcefully opened the chemist's mouth then shoved a handful of slightly opened pack of cocaine.

"This… we are almost there." Elder Meng confirmed. It has been a while since they journeyed their way to that factory.

*scrush scrush*

"Sir, we found dead bodies." A voice came through from the walkie talkie elder Hong was holding.

"We've found at least 20 dead bodies and counting, armed but no sign of the girl." the man finished his report.

"Report immediately if you found her." elder Hong reminded.

Following elder Meng's who leads the group, they finally saw the glimpse of the huge factory. It's size beat down all surviving small companies in the city. One could tell that in the next few years, this crime group will invade this whole island. There was a pang of guilt and pain in elder Hong's eyes, same as elder Meng. If they hadn't seen it, they wouldn't know that those powerful group expanded their base this big these fleeting years.

They walked cautiously nearing the glades, as they exited the woods the huge factory was seen few kilometers away from them. It is not just a factory but it looks more like a newly established base camp.

Before they could finish their train of thoughts about the revelation of the mob's territory,

*BOOOOOOM*

A blast explosion robbed their sense of hearing as it was so powerful. The explosion continues one after another making them retreat feeling the burning heat wave from kilometers away.
