Chapter 75: Seeing Red

[Raven]

"Not that easy, bud. You can't just order me around like some sort of an assistant," he said as he skillfully played the gun in his hand—twirling and tossing it like a plaything while he's comfortably seated on the sofa. Hindi ko na itinago ang pagtaas ng aking kilay saka siya kinunutan ng noo.

"What do you want me to do then?" I asked him, feeling how tight my grip on the seat is at the moment. My system is murky and chaotic. F*ck this because I am certainly not feeling so good.

"Incognito wanted me to clean the mess up silently but I am tired. Maybe you can do that for me." He grinned nonchalantly and it equalled the balling of my fists in anger.

"How?" I seriously looked at him, leaning on the chair to make myself feel comfortable despite the fact that such word is nonexisting at the moment. I am determined to do this. Very, tsk. I can even do worse!

"Kill him yourself. And... don't make the media know anything about his death. You can do that... Since you have your father's influence..." His grin grew more superficial.

I know father is one, noble man to be accused of but damn it! I can't drag my family here! And I can't let someone who dares go too without paying. After I woke up from that coma, I know a lot of change has come to me. I am easily irritated though I can help myself up... Or my dearest people for that matter.

It's just that, I am getting more moody than what I have been the past years. I was one, spoiled brat before Quin came, I was a jealous lover when I had her, I was a bad guy when she left and this... These uncontrollable emotions are not healthy at all.

"After all, you're so determined to have his head. You won't come to the point where in you did use every claws you have to search for me." Hinagod niya ang kan'yang baba.

"Think of this as a win-win situation. Ibibigay ko sa'yo ang kan'yang kinaroroonan, at ikaw na ang bahala sa kan'ya basta siguraduhin mo lang na ni isang kaluluwa ay walang makakaalam." I heaved a sigh as I leaned on the couch even more—if only I can press myself to it then it is better.

I am just so furious I could get my hands off to perfection and commit any possible crime. Galit ako, galit na galit dulot ng takot.

"Fine with me." I shrugged, thinking of some ways to do so without staining the reputation of my family. What I didn't expect is his response. Natawa siya. Nang nakakaloko na akala mo narinig na ang pinakabobong bagay sa mundo.

If only I could strangle him right now, tsk. Spare me and this guy because I don't have time to be goofing around now. Not at all.

"Woah, woah. Take it easy, bud. You're a damn celeb, you can't just go around killing the guy." His voice sounded amused and I raised my brow again.

"Who cares? That damn old fool will pay," I stated grimly and his lips curved into another round of amusement. Rage overpowered me for the nth time for so many reasons I don't have time to name.

"You're literally crazy, dude. You will kill someone who shot your girlfriend in a hospital?" Hindi talaga makaintindi. Paulit-ulit.

Yes, I will. Damn it. I will f*cking will even if I know how the hell is the truth. No one is above the law and if I will resort to such crime, I can see myself either behind bars or between my conscience.

After Quin was shot, I hired private investigators to find the suspect and and ensure no threats are lurking around but it lead me somewhere deeper.

Turns out that an Underground Organization under a creepy name 'Incognito' or 'Underground Society' wanted the man dead, and so they sent Cross which turned out to be this guy to finish him off. Lumapit ako hindi lamang para malaman ang pagkakakilanlan ng taong bumaril kay Quin, kun'di para makagawa ng paraan kung paano maiaayos ang gusot ng ginawa niya.
