Chapter 382 - Not possible (1/2)
Yang clicked his tongue. ”Then that confirms it, it must be that creepy guy.”
Even if Yang says that she has no memory of him whatsoever. Still, he looks so serious so it must be something bad. ”Could you tell me about him?”
….
A deep sigh crossed sigh escaped her lips when Chauncey Long finished explaining things. It seems like she will have to rethink he original plans. She thought this from the start but whenever Chauncey explains anything, the mood turns sour in an instance. Maybe because of how serious he is or the negative words he attaches to the end.
Jack the ripper imitator is somebody they knew? Yang had left the library to fetch some old albums from the house to jog her memory. Setsura slumped on the couch by the window.
Whenever she wants to investigate anything it ends up like this. Her thoughts broke off when Chauncey placed a drink on the table.
”I am surprised that Yang is cooperating.”
Her sweat fell when she heard those words. ”I have been meaning to ask, but that incident aside do you two just not get along?”
Setsura noticed it a while back but she did not say anything due to the current situation. She had so many things on her mind then. But since she returned to the future, it is becoming more obvious to her.
She won't lose anything by asking, so she might as well ask.
”How much do you know about the town?”
”The town?” Setsura repeated.
”To be exact our families.”
Ah.. ”To be honest, I only heard a little bit when I first came here. I know that you, Akito and Victor all come from prominent families.”
”To be exact all three of us come from mafia families.”
Setsura blinked when she heard those words. Sure she suspected something like this with Akito. But wait, huh? ”Victor…?”
Chauncey looked away for a moment and she noticed a strange expression appear on his face. ”When you spend time with Victor, do you not notice anything strange about him?”
”Something strange?” Setsura asked.
”Like uh..” Chauncey coughed. ”Lets just say that he isnt as nice of a guy as you make him out to be.”
Huh, is that all?
”Well even I noticed that.”
”No uh…”
Setsura sighed. ”I realized it when he first took me to practice shooting. I would catch a cold expression in his gaze. Ah this person has been severely hurt and scarred by an incident in the past too. The three no four of you have all gone through something painful. An irreversible past.”
Moreover Victor smiles a lot. This was one of the things she noticed when they first met. A long time ago somebody advised her that men who smile a lot are the ones hiding something. She brushed it off as foolish advice before but after she met Victor she understood.
At that comment Chauncey sighed. ”Well I guess there is no need to hide things. When I say Victor isnt a good man, I dont mean his personality. He is a good person. But when it comes to how he deals with the mafia business, he is a lot more serious than most people. He is the type who would do anything for the sake of the family, even if it means sacrificing innocent people.”
At the cost of innocent lives…?
Chauncey continued. ”Victor is my cousin as you know, so he is part of the LOng fraction.”
