Chapter 361 - Riggs is harsh? Man, you're too kind.

Upon hearing their ambiguous statement, Mariel Min was baffled. Who is the person they were talking about? He knew that these people he had encounter has more members, alas, just hearing the bad reputation of the man they were referring to, Mariel Min gulped a mouthful of saliva.

"That person, is he that harsh?"

"Harsh? That's too kind to say such good words to describe him." Jack scoffed because to him, even the devils would need purification after being with Riggs even for a whole day. 

Jack must admit that he adapted his slightly edgy persona from Riggs who mastered and refined the craft of insulting others. Hence, he does not deserve the title 'foul-mouthed'.

"Man, if I were you, better stay away from his vicinity because you'll snap and your world with darken -- leaving with only violence and urge to kill." Tito shook his head as he found himself a spot to sit on. The only person who wasn't ticked off by Riggs was Leon as he was the most apathetic being among them. But to them, Riggs would give no mercy, especially if he's not in a good mood albeit he's always on his period.

"Tuna, get up there and stay to the corner like a behaved pig." Jack thrust his chin forward as he unintentionally took a glance at the noticeable obese beside Mariel Min.

"Ye -- yes, boss!" That very instant, Tuna bounced on the corner side of the room. Even though Jack affronted him, Tuna could only be the 'yes man' person. After all, he knew Jack the trickster. It just didn't crossed him that Jack was also working under Seraphina which heightened his fright towards the woman. 

Tito, Venus and now Jack -- who's more big names working under Seraphina? Tuna subconsciously took a quick glance towards the two patients on their respective beds and they don't seem familiar which slightly relieved Tuna.

'Big boss probably had those three infamous people in her team -- she can't recruit even more formidable felons can she?' Tuna thought inwardly as he habitually assumed things on his own.

Seeing that Tuna behaved on the side without chairs of anything for him to rest, Mariel Min heed him no mind as he was afraid that if he offered him a seat, he will only break it.

Mariel Min then decided to resumed his regular check up on the two of his patients. Glancing at Leon, it was a miracle that his injuries wasn't as dire as it seems to be. Probably because his attacker which is Rex made sure to avoid inflicting any vital parts and only intended to knock him out. But still, to pull that kind of trick, ones must have a precise calculation of their strength and a good angle. Hence, Mariel Min saw Rex in a new light when the results came out.

"You're doing good. Just refrain from moving unnecessarily to avoid reopening your wounds and to fasten your recovery." After checking both of his patient's vitals, Mariel Min announced in satisfaction. He was a doctor after all and seeing that his patients were doing good, it gave him a great relief. Moreover, they were now his allies hence, he'll sincerely do his best to give them everything that he could do.

"When do you think they could get a clean bill of health?" Jack inquired as he turned his head towards Mariel Min's direction.

"A month or two if things went smoothly." Mariel Min smiled as he looked at Jack's languidly figure.

"So your official oath-taking would be delayed in a month or two, I see." Leon murmured as he slowly closed his eyes.

His words sent ripples of question mark on Mariel Min's head as he couldn't comprehend what his patient meant by that.

'Official oath-taking? They have that kind of tradition? But, what kind of ceremony is that? Like a welcome party or something?' He thought inwardly with a confounded countenance on the surface.

"Lame, I'd gladly be the one to host it." Jack unenergetically commented and turned his gaze to the simple greenery outside through the mirror.

"A party?" 

"Yeah, you can say that." 

Jack's last complex reply bothered Mariel Min. For some reason, his instinct tells him that the party he was referring to wasn't the one he was expecting. However, giving the benefit of the doubt, Mariel Min shrug the matter off as he goes to analyze the medical reports and respond to his emails since he was on leave from his real job.

'Well, it will be in a month or two so, nevermind.'

"CEO Alexander Han!"

"David Ong," Alexander Han had a dazzling smile on his face as he returned the respect the said man was giving him.

"I know I'm late but congratulations on taking over on the Han Corporation." David Ong congratulated with a large grin on his face.

"Hehe, thank you." Alexander Han, still having that business smile of his is yet, it didn't downgraded his dashing looks exchanged more pleasantries with David Ong. 

Both men sat across each other and soon, tea and morning appetizers were served.

"It's been a long time, CEO Han that you visited out Regal Casino?" David Ong inquired as Alexander Han was a regular client who would always hang out on their VIP bars and clubs. He could even say that their relationship between each other few was rather pleasant as they never disagree with other opinions.

"I was busy… cleaning up our company." Upon hearing that David Ong started this kind of conversation, including his beloved Casino, Alexander Han chose such double meaning sentence to entice David Ong to his trap.

"Oh, understandable. It must have been truly tough dealing with the clean up."

"Tough? I wouldn't say that but rather… entertaining." Raising his gaze, a malicious glint flashed across Alexander Han's eyes which wasn't overlooked by David Ong.
