Chapter 181 - Knock knock

Since Dragon was losing his consciousness, he didn't witness Seraphina's action. The car was speeding to a certain destination. Though she doesn't know where they are going, she didn't care anymore. All she wants is for him to be safe and alive.

"Can't you drive a little faster?!" Seraphina shouted in distress -- feeling that their speed isn't fast enough. Dragon took two gunshots, hence, he might lose a lot more blood before reaching their destination.

However, the driver kept his silence. He was already on the max speed limit and can't go any faster. Alas, he couldn't complain because he could feel that she's speaking out of worry and anxiety. After all, she was Dragon's only woman and their future lady boss.

Numerous speeding cars took over the road, yet, there are no authorities raised the signal as if they let them passed Dragon's car unnoticed. When they are far from the city, the already several speeding cars multiplied.

Everyone excluding Seraphina noticed the overtaking cars. Surely, they are not from Dragon's organization which raised their vigilance to its peak. Dragon was injured and their top priority was to get him treated, immediately.

Seraphina, on the other hand, was too focused on taking off Dragon's suit blazer, hence, she was unaware of the occurrence on the road. The genuine leather interior seat was now smeared with his blood but she felt it was her own as her heart ached even more.

She had never been this worried to this level. The stinging pain inside her heart turns more torturous by the second.

"Ryu…" Seraphina called out but her voice cracked midway. She doesn't know why but seeing him in this kind of state, she felt helpless. So what if she was formidable and skillful? What's the use of her being the powerful Luciano if she can't even protect her loved ones?

'Pathetic' she subconsciously scoffs -- mocking herself.

Soon, the pain on her heart reaches her eyes, stinging it. For the first time in a long time, she felt like crying. Transparent liquid starts to form on the corner of her eyes. Alas, a sudden turn almost throws her and Dragon. Fortunately, years of wearing her fats made her a lot stronger, thus, she supports Dragon's body as she held on the car fixed handle.

"What the --" Just as Seraphina could curse out, another batch of battling gun reached her ears. She could see that the car's windows and the windshield cracked by the potency of the forced bullets. Fortunately, Dragon's vehicle was bulletproofed so the attacks are futile or else, she's afraid that this ambush will not only cost her life but also Dragon's.

"Madam, please don't be afraid. Our men will protect you." Max reassured her from the front seat.

Though Max was anxious, he still wants to calm Seraphina down. After all, that's the last ordered from his boss -- at least he should execute it properly.

Since Dragon didn't want to disturb their date and for them to be gone unnoticed by Seraphina, he only let a few of his men to guard them from afar.

Though they secured the whole area, however, they didn't notice the mishap near Dragon's vicinity which led to this disaster. Moreover, coincidentally, Dragon's best men weren't around which gave the enemy the perfect opening for an attack.

But the big question mark is who is behind all this? Who dares attack Dragon in broad daylight?

Soon, the firing came to a halt -- probably, they realize that their continues firing was futile. Through the unscathed part of the window, Seraphina scrutinizes the people who exited the cars. Expectedly, they are equipped with weapons which didn't surprise Seraphina at all. What bothered her is what do they want from him?

Surely, in her understanding, Dragon is a successful businessman. But because of love, she didn't dare think about the strand line between a businessman's life and the underworld. Now that she thinks about it, she realizes that she still didn't deeply know the person she loves. However, whatever the reason was, she undeniably put her trust on Dragon and is willing to hear his explanation with much deeper understanding.

But for now, he must survive -- at all cost.

The men outside were akin to a big bully as he nonchalantly knocks on the passenger window. Max's expression darkens as he tries to communicate on their men, alas, no one was answering which put him on the edge.

"Knock knock... " Though the man's voice was faint, yet it was overwhelming and vicious. It was as if he treated them like a lump of meat on his chopping board.
