Chapter 377 - 377: Uncle And Auntie (1/2)

Numerous questions stormed inside Gabriel and Li Yifei's minds. The internal battle had left them little space to worry about the situation they're currently in—being a huge help in dealing with the uncomfortable silence inside the car.

Somehow, it also managed to distract them from the two esteemed Demons' heavy presence.

Although the car's AC unit was blasting warm air, Gabriel and Li Yifei's hairs on the back of their necks still rose as if an apparition just went past them.

But with all of these questions, there's one that reigns rampantly among the rest that predominated even the question if they're about to be slaughtered to have their innards harvested and sold in the black market.

And that is what are these two esteemed Demons' relationship?

You must be taking them for a fool if you thought they'll believe that their relationship was as simple as between boss and subordinate.

Gabriel highly doubts it. His last assignment from Qilin was to infiltrate the White Bird Headquarters and find out what's Silver Dragon's real relationship with White Bird is.

From what he gathered, Silver Dragon is an enigma that appeared out of nowhere and suddenly became White Bird's newest Elder. Not much is known about him, but what people do know is that he seem to be closer to the lady boss than White Crow—White Bird's right hand.

Immediately after his appearance in the Underworld, Demons attempted to connect him with people who are closest to his characteristics.

So far, it was in vain as there are no such individuals who fitted his description.

It also seems far-fetched if he was a new Demon. Though no one has yet to witness his capabilities, they could already tell he's a monster just by being an Elder.

Furthermore, White Bird wouldn't simply promote anyone as an Elder.

”Do your families know you two have entered the criminal society?” The unexpected question from Silver Dragon hauled the two out of the depths of their minds.

”Uh, mine doesn't...” Gabriel slowly replied after registering that he was talking to them.

”Me too.” Li Yifei said. ”Frankly, I wouldn't be here if they did. They're too overprotective...especially elder brother.”

She muttered the last words so quietly that it almost felt like a soft breeze passing. For Lillie and Ethan, however, it was perfectly audible.

”Exactly how old were you two started affiliating yourselves with the Underworld?” This time, it was White Bird who questioned them.

What's this? Haven't they ended the Q&A session at the headquarters? It's kinda odd.

Nonetheless, there's no longer anything to lose nor hide if they replied.

”Uhh, it was a long time ago, but I think I was thirteen-ish, nearing fourteen. Just after jiejie taught me sharpshooting.”

Lillie was seconds away from smacking her only brother over the head.

This brat, ah. Taking advantage of what he taught her for the wrong purpose.

”And Thrill Seeker?” Lillie looked at her barely-a.d.u.l.t sister-in-law from the rear-view mirror.

”Surprisingly, not too far behind him.” Li Yifei said with a thoughtful expression. ”I was caught between a gang war when I was thirteen. Thankfully, I know a few moves on how to protect myself.”

The adrenaline that coursed through her veins was addictive that she can't help but crave for more. Her boring life as the sheltered young miss of the Li family livens up after that. Eagerness bursted like vibrant colored inks dropping on dull water.

”I hope you two don't mind, but we need to make a quick detour first.” But before the two could say something, Ethan was already swerving the car inside a dark forest.

Gabriel and Li Yifei mentally cursed and exchanged glances.

Is this what they think it is? Please tell them this isn't where they'll die!

”Relax, we're just going to change,” Lillie reassured.

”Change?” Li Yifei echoed. ”Change what, exactly?”

”Our clothes and the car.” She said truthfully.

”Eh? Why?”
