...White Bird?"There is no doubt that those red eyes...
No one, as in no one, has those frightening red eyes except for White Bird, the notorious boss of the White Bird Organization.
So that"s why she reacted so ruthlessly on those tugs back in j.a.pan. She knew that the pseudo gangster is not really the Boss of Black Tiger, that"s why she taught him a lesson. He should be thankful that White Bird is being benevolent or else, she"ll definitely kill him and whomever has a connection with him.
It"s the greatest taboo or crime, pretending to be the boss of one of the Legendary Leaders on the Underworld.
"How?" He muttered to himself in disbelief, his eyes cannot turn itself away from hers. He does not know whether to laugh or cry.
Too similar.
The two of them are like a gem cut in perfect half. Is this some kind of joke that the G.o.d/G.o.ddess of love made? Or is he/she just being biased towards them? If he/she was, he"s not complaining.
Lillie Bai and the White Bird from the Underworld. Is it just a coincidence that their company held the same name?
Hong Long and White Phoenix. Pfff...he can"t believe that the two of them are a match [1] even in the Human Realm. [2]
"Aren"t you upset to meet your past enemy?" Lillie raised her eyebrows when she saw Ethan"s relaxed expression. His eyes doesn"t seem to glint in menace but...humor?
"On the contrary, it just proves that heaven does want us together." He said with a devilish grin. Ignoring his flirtatious words, Lillie felt like the heavy weight on her shoulders has been lifted.
The original Red Dragon Organization was older than her White Bird. Even though her organization was young, the power it held was equal to Red Dragon. Because of this, they are called the Underworld"s Emperor and Empress. The two organizations aren"t really enemies, more like frenemies.
Their subordinates would sometimes brawl or fight to see who"s better. Safe to say, White Bird has won the most.
"Since you"ve left the Underworld for good, then this matter will no longer be discussed." Lillie closed her eyes for a few seconds before opening them again. Her eyes changed back into ice-cold blue.
"Wait.." Ethan sensed something was wrong. Certainly, Lillie will not simply expose his other ident.i.ty just because she wanted to...or maybe she did but, the tone she used was something he cannot ignore.
Did something happened back there?
Lillie shook her head. If Ethan left, then she"ll respect his decision, she will not let him come back. "It is no longer your concern. Just continue doing your work here." Lillie ended the conversation. She thought it was a mistake exposing him like this but, it has to be done.
With the evidence that She Gu is not the real Red Dragon, even his strongest back up, Azure Tortoise, won"t aide him. He"ll be the Underworld"s criminal for stealing Red Dragon"s throne and for pretending to be him for years. The Underworld Reapers won"t keep him alive for long.
Regardless this crucial information, Lillie needed proof that She Gu is not the real Red Dragon. Unfortunately, Ethan did not reveal his real self. Non of them did. The Underworld knew them only as their alter ego, which were masked individuals. Even their age is a mystery, that is why She Gu didn"t had a hard time stealing Ethan"s ident.i.ty as Red Dragon.
The files she stole that stated Red Dragon"s real boss is not a strong evidence. She need someone who knew the real Red Dragon.
And who else know someone better if not themselves?
Unfortunately, Ethan is not that someone unless...
"I did said that I won"t come back but, when did I promise not to?" Ethan grinned. He still could not believe that his wife is actually closer to him before. When reminiscing his past, he suddenly winced when he remembered something. Knowing White Bird"s real ident.i.ty, he began to regret the things he"ve said and done before. Like...
"Who"s this little pips-quick? White Bird? Pfff! Are you kidding me?"
And...
"Already fighting with the big boys? You"re not done drinking your mother"s milk yet!"
Also...
"Look at that scrawny body of yours, I bet you can"t even touch my finger nail."
After he said those things to her, oh boy. He was completely annihilated.
Ethan prayed to all the G.o.ds and deities he know to not let Lillie remember all those nonsense he said back then. He was young and arrogant, okay!
"En, don"t worry, this scrawny body of mine can handle everything."
She remembered!
Ethan wanted to cry and hug her legs. Who"s scrawny! My wife, your body is a freaking cherry on top! The perfect body that pale in comparison even to the G.o.ddess of beauty!
Please don"t torment your husband like this!
"Also, I stopped drinking my mother"s milk when I was three."
