Chapter 48: The Rightful Heir (2)
Countless smug faces filled my vision. I rubbed my shoulder which hit the table’s edge after the bastard threw me. I’ve been trying to remember what his name was, but I couldn’t seem to.
In my memory, I just always called him father’s mad dog. Why do gangsters prefer floral shirts under their coats anyway? As if those bright prints would improve their reputation or deceive people.

I glared at him. He flinched for a second, but he soon glared back at me, clearly asking for a fight.
"He’s a fierce one," another commented.
I glanced around. There are too many of them. Half of them stood by the door already, blocking my way. Boxes were littered around, and a few bottles of beer and cigarette butts on tables. I was wondering if they all were awakened as well when suddenly, hands grabbed my waist and began searching my body.
"Where did you put them?"
I slapped his hands away. "What are you looking for?"
"I’m checking something." Diego looked at me suspiciously. "Now that I think about it, there are only two funeral rooms in use. I heard the other person was a dead Seeker. So, a few NSA employees were there."
I met his eyes boring into mine, digging through my soul. I’m glad I threw my wallet and phone away.
"Are you one of them?"
