Chapter 37: Sweet Torture
"I know, right? He’s too handsome to be a monster. Ah, it would be a waste to kill someone with such a handsome face," Raine answered with a playful smile.
"Are you really going to kill him?" Tyrone frowned.
"What if he’s not a monster but just a good mutant? Won’t you spare him?" she questioned, still staring at the man’s photo on the screen of the iPad. "The mission is to eliminate him. I’m sure my uncle Yun wanted you to witness that happening and report the matter to him, so here’s what I’m planning to do. You see, nothing matters in Xander’s case... His blood alone, whether he’s a mutant or not, is the reason why he needs to die," Raine said with a sigh. She moved on the bed and sat with her legs crossed together, facing Tyrone.
"You look so surprised and concerned when you saw his photo. Do you somehow know this man?" she asked, keenly staring at him.
There was a pregnant pause from Tyrone. He wasn’t able to even give her a reply as the pilot suddenly spoke and interrupted them from the speaker. He had informed them that the plane was about to take off, as well as their arrival time to country D.
Raine quietly looked at Tyrone, still waiting for his answer.
"No, I don’t know him at all. But I can’t help but somewhat pity him right now. The blood in his veins would be the reason why he needs to die... That’s just tragic. I didn’t think that Mirage would be this cruel, even for someone who wasn’t even confirmed to be a mythical creature," Tyrone said with a blank expression.
Raine sniggered, "Mirage?"
"I’m working for the Umbra Security Agency... The Bloody-Eyed Hunter and her squad were strongly believed to be a part of Mirage. And now, you have a mission to kill someone who’s not even confirmed to be a monster, and for what reason? I guess the Clans of Mirage are really into some deep shi*t if they’re clashing together like this."
