Chapter 203 - the beginning of the end IV

"That wound is the last gift I can give you… you better kill me tonight because I'll surely come after you if I survive this night."

With her last remarks, Dragon raised his gaze to her retreating back. He didn't know which is much painful, his cracking heart or the burning pain in his abdomen. Nevertheless, Dragon musters all his last strength to go desperately after her. While his steps stagger to the turbulent path they heed no mind before, ironically, he could feel every uneven surface under his wound.

'No, Sera -- it's not what you think it is…'

Words he could not say earlier kept on repeating on his mind. Admittingly, her revelation shook him to the core. Yet, he bore no hate towards her.

Alas, Seraphina seemed to feel otherwise. Her gaze contains unforgiving hate, her pained expression was akin to a person having her heart ripped -- which Dragon felt.

Every word she spat, he could feel the growing distance between them. Every time her eyes land on him, it was more menacing than the first. Every passing second, Seraphina was like a ticking time bomb that would explode any minute.

Granting that Dragon was a clever person, alas, whenever he was with her, he was always afraid. Afraid that he might worsen their situation. Afraid that she might hate him more. Afraid that she'll completely leave him, alone, again.

Hence, he didn't know where to start his explanation. Alas, a lump on his throat trapped his words making him look like a fool -- a liar. For the first time in his life, Dragon felt pathetic and coward.

He could barely see Seraphina's ride sped away, even so, Dragon won't give up -- he can't.

"Master!" Max rushed towards him, panting. Though their vigilance was on its peak, they still obey Dragon's order to keep a distance and guard the surrounding.

Thus, when they heard an audible gunshot, they immediately rushed towards their master and Seraphina's meeting place.

Alas, when they neared their vicinity, Seraphina already hitched on her ride while their Master looks so pitiful and desperate while he struggled to walk.

Max and the other subordinates were momentarily stunned seeing their Master in this never before seen state. Regardless, they were instantly snapped back to reality when they saw that Dragon was injured. Max heedlessly rushed towards his master alas, Dragon rests his hand on his shoulder

"Master!"

"Key."

"Master, who --"

"I said key -- car key." Said Dragon. His complexion turns paler yet, it only makes him more desperate. In his mind, if he rushed now, he can still follow Seraphina.

Max gritted his teeth making his jaw tighten. He wordless hand over a certain car key towards the injured Dragon.

Dragon taps his shoulder as if telling him his thanks before he staggered to the luxurious sedan he used to get there.

As soon as Dragon scats away, Max pulled his phone as he exhaled heavily as if he came to a decision.

As an underboss, Max has the power to mobilize Dragon's best men if it regards to their Master and his safety.

Max clearly saw Seraphina was holding a gun earlier. Thus, seeing how the situation was playing, he concluded that it was Seraphina who shot his Master.

"Seraphina Yue -- silence her." Filled with resolution, Max commanded through the line. No one knew how many people received the order yet, Max ended the call immediately after he said his order without waiting for any response.

Dragon drove recklessly on his top speed. Despite that, his injury kept on bleeding and his sight starts to get blurry, he forces himself to find his beloved.

To get make himself awake, he abruptly opened the radio and max it's volume so the tempo of the bass will move his insides along with the song's rhythm.

'Must have been something,

cause you keep on calling…

telling me were done~'

"Where are you…" Dragon slightly shakes his head as his vision cloud even more.

'~But I feel so hollow

What I'm trying to say is I'm so...

Sorry

Baby, things got crazy

I know, I know, I know~'

'Here come the regrets

Here come the regrets

Here comes the

I wish I hadn't done it

I wish I hadn't said it

I wish that I could take it all back~'

When Dragon finally had a glimpse of Seraphina's ride, a sliver of hope seep on his heart. Alas, it was instantly came crashing down by the next second.

His body froze and his mind went blank witnessing her car being caught in a collision. It was as if time slowed down as he clearly saw her body flew from the impact.

Before Dragon could react, everything went black as another huge car hit his vehicle.

That night in country S, main city, a huge accident took place. Two people were reported in a dire and critical situation: one who's two months pregnant and an already injured man.

Alas, not a single tv station nor news establishment made an article about it and the world goes on.
