Chapter 215 Nine
Scarlett’s face darkened as Troy told the mastermind’s name. She didn’t expect that they would attack her through her family company.
After she got what she wanted, she had to kill Troy and the bald uncle. She couldn’t let them live because they had already seen her eliminating all their gang members.
After she confirmed that no one else was in the building, she left.
“Bitch!! You wait… I’m not going to take you lightly this time.” Scarlett muttered while walking out of the building.
She took out her cell phone to call Seven, but she felt someone approaching from behind before she could dial the number.
With one quick movement, she turned around while aiming her gun warily at the sound of footsteps she heard.
“You are so slow!” Scarlett was taken aback when she heard a familiar voice from the darkness, “… I’ve been here for a long time, and only now are you aware!?”
Scarlett “…”
She lowered her gun and ignored Rex, who was walking towards her while teasing her with his overbearing smile.
“Your action inside made me realize that you are getting slower and softer with your enemies! Remember, no words ‘Slow’ and ‘Sloppy’ exist in our dictionary!” His voice was gentle, but somehow Scarlett heard it like a threat.
She opened her mouth but failed to say a word to refute his sentence.
“…never wear that mask again! You are an assassin. What if your juniors saw what you did earlier? They will think you got your code name because you are my little sister!” He said while gently patting the hair on top of her head.
Scarlett was stunned! She had not heard Rex talk to her seriously in years. He only acted like this when he started training her as a member of The Fox.
She slowly looked up to see his face and was startled when their eyes met.
‘Damn! He doesn’t like scolding me because of my abilities. However, he was angry because of something. Why?’ She frowned.
Just before Scarlett wanted to ask him, she saw Rex turn his eyes far away near the gate.
Scarlett followed his line of sight. There was nothing at the gate, only darkness. However, it wasn’t long before she could hear cars moving and two black vans pulling into the yard.
“Brother, what made you suddenly appear on this island with all your goons?” Scarlett was surprised to see Rex bringing so many people to this island.
Does he intend to open their branch in this place!?
Rex shook his head. Then he answered without looking at her, “This is one of your flaws! You weren’t aware of the underground moves. You had been lacking for too long that you didn’t know your enemy was now approaching!”
Scarlett’s brows knit at Rex’s last sentence. Her eyes stared at Rex, who was now walking toward the car.
“My enemy is approaching!?” She muttered, trying to remember who her biggest enemy was that could make Rex come here with so many people.
She saw Rex talking to several men who had just exited the car. And when her eyes caught a familiar figure lazily getting out of the car, a look of surprise flashed across her eyes.
“N-NINE!” She muttered in a whisper.
If Rex took Nine with him, they faced someone not to be trifled with. Because Nine can kill mobs.
His actual identity is a famous surgeon at one of the prestigious hospitals in Seattle.
But among them, Nine is known as Crazy Doc because he has a strange hobby of concocting poison. And he has created the most potent poison on this earth, and no one knows the antidotes but him. His target would die or suffer the most horrible pain whenever they touched or ingested the medium where Nine had latched with his poison. Not only poisons, but he also makes a virus that can kill many people in an instant.
Nine’s physique was thin, and his face looked harmless — looking like a friendly neighbor’s doctor — but he was more terrifying among the twelve core members of the Foxes. No one dared mess with him, or they would lose their lives without knowing it.
‘Gosh!! Does Rex intend to overthrow this country? Has he gone mad to bring this crazy doc here!?’
“Hello, Three!” Scarlett gasped when she saw Nine already standing in front of her. Seeing his rare smile could numb her mind, “We haven’t seen each other in a year, huh! And you grew taller than before!”
pαndα`noν?1–сoМ Scarlett, “…”
How could she grow taller when she was already in her twenties? Is this man really a doctor?
An awkward smile appeared on Scarlett’s face. She never felt comfortable whenever talking to Nine. Nine’s aura was eerily too strong for those who knew his particular skill. For them, he has an intense charm of a grim reaper.
“Uh, Brother Nine. Nice to meet you too, and I was surprised to see you come out of your lab.” .𝒐𝙧𝒈
“Ah, that’s because Two asked me to come here for vacation. I heard this island is beautiful, with many white sandy beaches… And it’s quite warm from Seattle!”
Scarlett was speechless. Gosh! Rex clearly tricked this man.
“Hahaha, Brother Nine, there is the best beach on this island. But is it warmer here than in Seattle? Of course not. It’s colder from your place.”
“Is that so?” Nine smiled as he rubbed his nape.
“Hmm…”
“Damn!! Looks like he tricked me!”
Scarlett rolls her eyes, feeling sorry for this man.
Nine took a deep breath before continuing, “…That guy, he just wants me to accompany him on vacation with his grandfather.” He shook his head and looked at Rex, who was approaching them.
“Huh!? Grandpa Morrison is here too?”
Scarlett was surprised to hear that, but only momentarily because she remembered the Grandpa Riley reunion. The old man had an impromptu reunion with Grandpa Morrison as well!? No wonder he was willing to postpone a meeting with her father.
“What are you talking about?” Rex stood in front of Scarlett and Nine.
“There isn’t anything!” Nine said and excused himself. He entered the warehouse with the others.
After Nine left them, Rex saw Scarlett still glaring at him.
“What’s with your look?” Rex ruffled her hair. “Stop pouting!! Now, you have the biggest problem. How do you explain all of this to your good-for-nothing husband!?”
Rex’s words were like thunder in Scarlett’s ears.
‘X-Xander…’
