Chapter 249 - As expected from Max

After some time, Logan Jin finally went out from his silence and sternly murmurs. "If you insist on holding on with Liam -- then, marry him."

Seraphina though slightly taken aback by how fast Logan changes his mind, she still successfully kept her unfazed front. Raising her brows along with the side of her lips, Seraphina's interest was slightly piqued. "oh? did I heard uncle correctly?"

"Sera, I warned you to let Liam alone not for his sake but to you as well. Seeing you that you wanted to drag the whole Jin family to your own mess -- then, be a Jin... if you have what it takes."

Seraphina unclasped her hands as she taps her index finger on the table-- pondering and kernelizing the meaning behind Logan Jin. Alas, even to Seraphina, his intention can only vaguely be understood. Is he bluffing or is he serious? Questions like that circled around Seraphina's head for a brief time.

"well, I always intend to marry Liam for my own benefit. So, why not, father-in-law?" still, Seraphina took on the challenged as she has to see for herself and understood what lies behind the Jin family that she hadn't noticed yet. Moreover, it will be easier for her to be a part of a powerful family that can either protect her illegal deeds or exposes her. Nonetheless, she has to keep these Jin's in a close watch. After all, her grandfather is under their care and divorce can happen any time.

"Sera... don't tell me in the future that I didn't warn you." Logan Jin uttered as he earnestly stares at her deceiving and harmless front before retracting his eyes. Logan then sighed heavily and wordlessly took his leave. This time, Seraphina permitted Logan Jin to leave without a word as she contemplated about his last words.

'Liam... Liam,'

Though Seraphina doesn't want to question Liam despite Rex and Wren's objection towards him, alas, this time, Logan's words successfully planted a little sprout of suspicion towards his son. Whether it was his agenda so that Seraphina should leave Liam alone or he was dead serious -- Seraphina was curious.

'Liam, I don't care what mystery lies behind your kind gestures but, don't make me your enemy -- not you.'

As selfish and self-centered as she can be, Seraphina decided to give Liam the benefit of the doubt. After all, Liam is a very important individual in her life. Hence, she buried the suspicion that was planted to her deep inside her heart -- without the need of nourishing it.

Taking off her matte black helmet, Seraphina's face was revealed with her unruly and wavy lilac hair cascading to her shoulders up to her back. Shaking her head to organize her messy hair, she placed the helmet on the motorbike's handle before heading inside the seemingly peaceful house.

Entering the dusty with an old furnishing of the living area, Seraphina was welcomed with a few unfamiliar faces inside who immediately stood from where they are and respectfully bowed their heads in respect towards Seraphina.

Though Seraphina didn't personally know these people, she was certain that they are Tuna's men and they might have probably regarded her as an important person. Hence, without bothering about their presence, Seraphina went straight ahead to the house bas_e_m_e_nt.

As she neared the bas_e_m_e_nt, Seraphina could hear Max's loud cursing and mockery which made her lips curled upward. 'as expected from Max.' then, she continued her steps following the voice of Max.

Soon, Seraphina reached her destination albeit, Max shouts also subsided. Without even seeing it, she could guess that the people on the watch has probably reached their limits and probably sang him a lullaby for a much peaceful surrounding.

Pushing the door open, Seraphina immediately caught the very noticeable huge figure of Tito on the side. He was wearing a dirtied white tank top that barely survives without being ripped by Tito's unbelievable built. Nonetheless, he seems more intimidating displaying his natural muscles with his cuts and scars that he inflicted with countless of battle he experience -- in short, he looks exactly a terrifying warrior.

On the other side of the corner, a fat and was akin to a pig that was clothed with human skin was munching a slice of pizza while leisurely sitting on an ancient looking couch. Despite the old, dusty smell adding the redolent fragrance of fresh and dried blood permeating inside the bas_e_m_e_nt-- the fatty has surprisingly had the appetite to eat like it was his last meal.

Seeing his disgusting way of eating, Seraphina's lips twitch in dismay. Not because Tuna was eating but the way he was eating like a real pig. Aside from the two significant individuals inside the room, there are still approximately another five people excluding Max who's now sound asleep while being tied in a metal chair. She quickly cast them a glance and only Mike's profile was familiar to her.

Seeing her arrival, Tito who was leaning on the corner of the room quickly salutes to her direction. While Tuna, on the other hand, halted to his attempts to bite the pizza -- leaving his mouth wide open while the pizza was already on the entrance of his mouth.

"Yo," Tito greeted as his hands lowered after the salute.

"Please Tuna boy, you may look like a pig but try not to act one -- at least not on my watch." Seraphina immediately sassed as she can't help but feel bothered by the sound of Tuna's munching earlier. She then cast a glance on Tito before raising her brows as a response to his greeting before altering it back to Max.
