Chapter 247 - Uncle Logan

"Huh, you make me like the idea of i_n_c_e_s_t." Leon complimented before the line was cut off by Seraphina.

After she spats her threats towards Leon, she halted on her tracks as she was about to leave him. She spoke without turning her head,

"Leon, I will say this again, you are rusting. While I can read you without exerting much effort, you, on the other hand, can't do the same. I expect you to be the person who knows me too well -- never trust your eyes while observing me because you will never discern what is the truth and isn't. Nevertheless, I have to thank you for reminding me of my foolish decision and idealism -- snapping my mind back to reality. I must admit that I was wrong in my part but, remember to trust me and my plans in the future. Also, you might have company when we leave, just clean up the yard afterward."

Hearing her reassuring words, Leon's lingering uneasiness dissipated as he turns his amused eyes to her retreating back, "I know that at least. Huh, you are really terrifying -- that is the person I swore my oath to." he murmurs as he straightens his stance to prepare himself for a little workout.

'Huh, what a losing gamble.' Seraphina mocked referring to the wrong moved her enemy from the shadows have done. Now that he revealed that he infiltrated the Jin Medical Hospital -- she will make sure that it will never happen again.

Alas, Seraphina's dilly-dallying for the past months wasn't gone to waste as she actually lured out that opponent to come forth. Furthermore, Dragon's appearance and his abduction skit must have made that unknown man anxious. After all, Seraphina and Dragon had a past together and the probability of reconciliation and put their disagreement on a truce should also be reconsidered.

Alas, Seraphina will never forget the people she had her eyes on as she was confident about her own capabilities. "Huh, I will make sure to end the person who caused my misery from the past and to the future." she murmurs referring to the man who harmed her in the past and the forthcoming events she had witness and experience from her first life.

'Embrace yourself because I will crush you all.' Seraphina affirmed inwardly as she steps on the pedal and increases her already speeding car.

At noon, Seraphina made an arrangement to meet a long time friend, Logan Jin. Inside a private Japanese restaurant, Seraphina sips her tea as her brows arched and her gazed was fixed on Logan Jin's stern expression. After putting down the cup of tea, Seraphina spoke,

"Well? I know you must've been informed about what happened to my Gramps… well, care to explain?" her melodies voice was calm yet it also had a touch of danger lingering on her inquiry. Yet, Logan's exquisite profile despite his age was kept in check -- not a bit intimidated by Seraphina's ominous aura.

"Child, it is a natural occurrence for a patient to experience abnormalities -- moreover, Chairman Yue's condition is rather dire, you know that. If it weren't for your Grandfather and my relationship with your father, I won't have to give you face and explain this to you myself" Logan Jin's flat and deep voice justified the emergency happened to Sebastian Yue and his own opinion about Seraphina instigation. Indeed, if it weren't for the fact that the Jin and the Yue family had close ties -- he won't even bother to explain this mundane stuff to her himself.

Just as Logan uttered his piece, he assisted himself to get up but halted midway when he heard Seraphina's next word.

"Tsk tsk. Uncle Logan… you don't have to give me face you know, I can always talk to you if I wanted to but for my father, I have to give you face." Seraphina she smirks seeing that Logan Jin went back to his seat with a confused expression plastered across his face. She continued,

"You don't believe that I lost my memories right, Uncle Logan? Well, you are right." After some time, Seraphina traced the mouth of her cup of tea as if she uttered a very trivial thing. In retrospect, though Logan Jin has been very kind to her on the surface, alas, Seraphina knew that he was just doing that because she is Konrad's daughter.

Also, Logan Jin knew a lot about of the Yue family history hence, even if the Yue and Jin family had a great relationship -- none made an arrangement for her and Liam to be childhood friends.
