Chapter 33: Pyramid
Raine lifted an eyebrow as she was thinking. She could clearly tell what was going inside the old man’s head. It was way too easy for her to play along with his games.
She gave him her usual trademark poker smile as she casually said, "Sure. You can get him anytime you want him back, Uncle. That is... if he ever wants to go back to you. You know me, I always keep whatever catches my eyes, and this Tyrone happened to catch my very picky eyes."
She clicked her tongue and, with a pout, complained, "You’re such a bully, Uncle. Why bother to give him to me if you plan on taking him back this quick? Are you trying to play tug of war with me, huh?"
Yun did not reply to her comments but just stared at Raine. He tried to read her expression like he always used to do, but his niece was very tough to read, as he had expected. She was very playful, and Yun knew how tricky Raine could get. It was really frustrating for him on his end.
"By the way, I will leave this afternoon. I will finish the mission in country D so you won’t nag me about it every time you see me," Raine informed, changing the boring topic her uncle had started.
"That’s good. Will you bring Tyrone with you? I honestly don’t know if you can trust him enough, but I believe he will have a lot of use there with you after reading his credentials. I think he is capable and good at handling situations like our operations," Yun encouraged.
"Yeah, he’s my bodyguard now, so I intend to always keep him with me. He looks fun, so I’m definitely going to be giving you a gift showing my earnest gratitude if his presence doesn’t bore me."
Yun shook his head as his lips curled in a faint smile. He had closely watched how Raine grew up under his brother Marcus’s supervision, and yet he still couldn’t get used to how she behaved like she was a child even up to now. He was aware of a lot of things, like Raine’s real identity and her history. Things that not even Raine knew about herself because Marcus had kept everything a secret from her, and Yun intended to spill the beans once his brother failed to wake up from his sleep.
"You are aware of the current situation in country D, right?" Raine asked.
"About the mess that the Earth Clan has been creating? Well, I just recently heard about it," Yun casually replied.
