Tyrone had co back earlier than expected. Raine didn’t ask him where he had been, seeing as she was aware that Tyrone was also using the Umbra Security Agency in getting vital information that could help her in Xander’s case.
However, she was still surprised when Tyrone suddenly pulled her out of the house.
"Let’s go back to the mansion. Your uncle’s about to go haywire soon, and I believe you don’t want to miss it," Tyrone inford. Hearing about the potential source of entertainnt, Raine let him drag her inside the car.
"Care to give a briefing?" Raine asked with a lifted brow as she settled into her seat.
"I received a tip that Xander and Yera’s island wedding ceremony will go on a live telecast in about thirty minutes..." Tyrone inford. The couple had been missing for a few days now. Up until a few minutes ago, it would seem, Raine’s team was still trying to locate the couple.
She wasn’t too worried. She was aware that Xander had managed to trick her uncle into thinking that they were still staying inside their ho that was the Yang Mansion.
They finally arrived at the Yue Ancestral mansion, and Raine was anticipating an excellent show, to which her uncle didn’t disappoint when the ti ca.
Yun clenched his jaw as he watched the scene playing on the screen before him.
"Get Dalgon now!" he shouted, his veins almost popping out from under his neck. "How dare that bastard outwit !"
He was furious, cursing hard at the man who was smiling ear to ear on the screen in front of him as he exchanged vows with the woman beside him.
He couldn’t believe that Xander Yang even had the nerve to trick them. He was sure his bitchy niece was laughing at him right now! He had thought that Xander already went back inside his mansion, but it turned out that they had been played all this ti!
A few monts later, Dalgon arrived and stood in front of him. The TV remote imdiately flew right into his face.
"They’re doing a live telecast of their wedding! How co none of you were able to find out anything about all this!? Go search for him now!. Search every single place with a beach! Prioritize screening all the people close to that bastard, along with all the properties of his closest friends and relatives!" Yun shouted, his anger reverberating throughout the living room.
He was surrounded by a bunch of idiots. He didn’t see this coming. Xander was out in the open! It was pretty much an open invitation to kill him! The clock was ticking, and again, they were wasting so much ti.
Raine watched as her uncle stomped in his madness from the first floor.
"Tsk... He’s too old already. I wonder why he’s still as healthy as a bull? Usually, those with bad anger managent issues like that often end up having a stroke. Or perhaps, it’s my uncle’s vitamins that are giving him more lives to live?"
"Bad weeds don’t die so easily," Tyrone whispered beside her, also watching the scene unfold.
Raine chuckled, "So are you saying that I too will live longer?"
"Probably because bad people live longer," Tyrone straightforwardly answered.
Raine smirked at that, "We’ll see then how long I’ll last..."
"Don’t worry... No matter what happens, I’ll always be by your side," Tyrone murmured.
Raine flinched, quickly changing the topic by saying, "You see what’s wrong with him, Tyrone? He only instructed his n to look for the bastard’s side, completely ignoring to dig up on his wife’s side more. I bet they’ll select a less suspicious place to hide. He should have instructed them to look into Yera’s side of the family more," she chuckled. "Perhaps it’s a sign of aging. His brain and tactics are becoming rusty as he gets older. Not that I’m complaining. I know it’s an advantage for ."
"I’ve already found out where they are. I’m just checking out all the options on how to quietly penetrate the place," Tyrone murmured.
"Good. That’s why I’m not kicking you out just yet. You’re quite useful to . Always rember that if you ever beco useless, you’ll no longer have a purpose... Not that I even have to stress that out to you, right? I don’t like keeping useless things around, and the sa applies to the people around . I kind of see people as re things," Raine muttered before turning her head to give him a flash of her cunning smile.
Tyrone hated those kinds of smiles from her. He let out a long deep sigh as he watched Raine leave.
"Yes, I perfectly understand. I can’t stay by your side if I beco useless..." Tyrone whispered, sadness welling up in his eyes. No matter what happens, he should strive to stay useful to her at all tis. He was well aware of that fact.
Tyrone turned around and looked at Yun. His wrath was raining like fire all on over his n. He knew, sooner or later, that Yun would eventually find their wanted location, if only because Dalgon had the capacity to do so despite not being as smart and quick as Tyrone was.
As he knew it, the couple was at Pluria Island; Ryu Ken’s private island. It was a very well guarded place, and it wouldn’t be easy even to penetrate the security of that island. He had an idea on how to make it possible, but it would be too dangerous to consider it. It was so bad an idea that it could be regarded as pure suicide. He needed to think of sothing better for Raine to enter the island safely.
anwhile, Yun would soon think of so ways for Xander to co out from his hiding place should he ever beco more desperate. If not for Raine, who often slapped the possible dire consequences in his face, he would have already made a bold move like hurting people close to Xander and Yera to make them co out from wherever they were hiding.
Raine eventually went back inside her room. She sat on the couch, restlessly leaning back as she placed her head on the headrest. She stared unblinkingly at the ceiling, falling into deep thought.
She cocked her neck, staring at Xander’s photo on her board. Her father was going to wake up soon. She had decided to spare and help Xander out, but...
She raised her arms and watched her hands move above her. Her hands were stained with blood. No matter how many tis she washed them, the blood will always remain in her eyes in all of their different colors. The sll of blood had haunted her since the day her mind ingrained it into her psyche. She always wondered if she could ever escape the sll of it. If her mind would ever forget the sight of the blood...
Frustration crept into her heart once more. A few more seconds passed, and she picked a knife and threw it at the offending object. The weapon landed exactly where she had aid it, piercing straight through the target photo.
"Should I continue saving your life? Or should I just kill you?" she mumbled with a heavy sigh. If Xander wasn’t capable of solving the puzzle in ti...
"Should I wait for a bit more?" Raine mused as she threw another knife on the board. Her father was about to wake up soon. And if by then, Xander was still unable to knock her uncle down, well...
Then, his blood would be hers to spill...
