The Traps of the Black Swan (Book 2)

298

Lisa checked out the man. He didn't look like a man from a group of thugs or trained. His actions and reflexes meant he wasn't used to fighting. At most, the man looked like a paparazzi or a naive man who was doing a job for money.

Lisa felt a poke on his arm, then slender cold fingers wrapped around his wrist and moved his hand back and forth. Then she smiled awkwardly.

'Why do men rely on physical violence?' Ruby Jane thought.

Being beaten black and blue three years ago, violence hardly comes to her dictionary, unless she had no choice. She knew well how it feels to be in unbearable pain.

Lisa heard her murmur, "I won't offend you." Compared to that man, her arms looked so slim. Breaking her arms or dislocating them would be so easy. The thought gave her goosebumps.

Lisa: "..." His hand itched to pull her ear.

Roach reached them and bowed. He breathed out his long-held breath and then apologized, "I am sorry, President Manoban, Young Madam, for reaching late." He was glad the man was just nobody instead of an assassin.

Ruby Jane and Lisa understood that Roach got to know about the man a little late, hence he came to the village, and traced them till he got the jeep parked. They weren't angry at him.

Roach straightened his back when Lisa hummed in acceptance. Roach glanced at the noisily crying man. He mercilessly kicked the man from his boot, "Shut up." He snarled at the crying man.

Ruby Jane: "..."

'Why do men like shouting?' She thought.

The crying man shut his lips staring at the burly tall man. His face twisted, body shrunk in pain but he didn't dare to make a noise.

Roach held out the couple's belongings towards them, "I will handle it from here. Please enjoy your day, President Manoban, Young Madam." He also meant, there is nobody else following them. They could be worry-free.

Lisa collected them and turned to Ruby Jane. He didn't get to speak. She sat down and poked the man's forearm with the sharp end of the stick and made him twiddle on the ground due to pain.

"If I didn't allow you to see my shirtless husband, then you aren't allowed to touch him. He is only mine to touch." She poked him harder, making him cry.

Lisa: "..."

Roach jerked aside to avoid his eyes falling on Lisa even if the latter speaks with him.

Lisa: "..."

Lisa threw her shrug and t-shirt on his shoulder, wore the bag on the single shoulder, and scooped his wife from the ground before her dialogues could continue.

He could already imagine all the men, lowering their heads to speak with him, afraid of offending Ruby Jane. Uff... His wife was a unique creation.

"Lili, let me down. Lili..." Ruby Jane was wriggling in his arms.

"Ahh..." She heard the man shriek out. Ruby Jane slightly jerked in Lisa's arms.

Lisa was unfazed. He walked while Ruby Jane wrapped her arms around his neck and looked at Roach and the man. Roach had placed the dislocated joints without following the pretreatment routine.

'How brutal!' She could only pity the man for accepting the job against them.

But who sent him?

If Seungri was the one who sent that man, then this was the perfect opportunity for Seungri to kidnap or kill them. So she was pretty sure it wasn't Seungri.
