Dear Immortal Tyrant-Chapter 382 Not The Issue

When Lina went to Milo's apartment, she rang the doorbell enough to startle the downstairs neighbor. He was definitely not sleeping. Lina realized what an obsessive girlfriend she appeared to be. Holding back a sigh at his absence, Lina went downstairs.

"I'm Milo Yang's younger sister," Lina promptly told the front desk, pulling out her identification card.

The clerk glanced at it in time to see the name, but not the ID number. Lina always made sure to place a finger directly over the digits. Better safe than sorry.

"Unfortunately, Miss Yang, we're not allowed to disclose anything about our guest even if you present us with a family registry. Our security is something that we value in our clients."

Lina was more impressed than irritated. She glanced at the man and down to his name tag.

"What if I told you he has sociopathic tendencies and it's best for me to keep track of him?" Lina offered, leaning against the desk with a charming smile.

"Then he is the police's problem, not ours."

"You deserve a raise," Lina said to the man.

Lina reached into her pocket and slid a one hundred bill across the counter. The man didn't even budge.

"Bribery is illegal, ma'am."

Lina took out four more bills.

"I'd have to call the police, Miss Yang."

Lina took out six more. The man simply stared at her. She nodded her head in approval.

"I'm jotting your name down for a raise." Lina took back her money, but he quickly grabbed it and shoved it into his pockets.

Link blinked. "You—"

"Consider it a bonus, Miss Yang."

Lina's lips twitched at his cheekiness. She liked this man. But when Lina turned around, she nearly screamed bloody murder. Sebastian was standing right outside the lobby window, breathing down a fog. He narrowed his gaze obsessively.

Lina thought she saw a ghost. She warily walked outside.

"Where is my Boss, Madam?" Sebastian instantly asked. "The meeting with Claymore Conglomerate starts in less than five minutes!"

"Isn't she in the city with her husband and children?" Lina attempted. "Tell her she needs to take a break."

"You—"

"Take them on a guided tour of Ritan meanwhile I try to locate your Boss." Lina patted him on the shoulders and casually walked off. She didn't know how to explain to him that his crazy Boss ran down the traffic lane to kiss her.

Lina also couldn't imagine where Kaden was right now. Locked up for jaywalking? Near a lampost somewhere panting? Lina couldn't wrap her mind around it. Instead, she hailed down a taxi, despite knowing how dangerous it was.

"Let me drive you, Madam," Sebastian persisted, grabbing onto the doors just as she nearly slammed it shut.

"You have less than five minutes to apologize to Claymore's Chairwoman and take her on a guided tour in the city. I can get back safely. What's the worst that can happen? I die?" Lina deadpanned.

Well, Lina could get kidnapped and tortured repeatedly. It was the worst treatment anymore, much less, an immortal, can ever go through. Being trapped and tortured for al lof eternity, now that was one way to beg for death.

"But I—"

"I'll be fine. Your Boss probably has a tracker on me. We all know he does." Lina pried his fingers off of the door.

Suddenly, Sebastian turned to the driver doors and yanked it open, startling the man. "We have people following you at all times. That crazy woman right there," he shot a finger at her. "Is armed with a gun and not afraid to shoot."

Then, Sebastian curtly straightened up his suit and cleared his throat. "She's trigger-happy, so I'd drive quickly. Who knows when she'd take her rage out on you?" 𝒇𝗿𝙚ℯ𝑤ℯ𝑏𝒏𝑜ѵe𝙡.c𝐨ｍ

With that said, Sebastian promptly walked across the on-going traffic to pick up his car. His leisure stroll immediately broke into a quick run when he saw his car being ticketed.

"Hey—"

Lina closed the door. So much for Sebastian appearing cool.

"We can take it from here."

Lina was surprised by the armed guards outside the gate. They refused entrance to the man and stood outside promptly. When she paid for the taxi and watched him drive off, a car was speeding towards them. She glanced at the opened electric gates in time to see a chauffeur had come to collect her.

"This is surprising. He's revamped the security," Lina realized.

Nonetheless, Lina allowed herself to enter. They drove up the winding hill leading to the DeHaven manor. Soon enough, she spotted the front of the house. All of the servants were lined up in two neat columns. But that wasn't the issue. She got out of the car immediately.

"Welcome home—"

"WHERE IS MY SISTER?!" Milo roared, grabbing Kaden by the collar.

Milo wanted to punch the aloof expression off of Kaden's face. Kaden didn't even stagger back at the force of Milo's body. Kaden remained rooted to the ground, with a sharp arch of his brows. Kaden was everything that people aspired to be. Cold and calculated, Kaden never revealed the thoughts in his mind.

"I swear, if I have to—"

"I just gave your apartment clerk a raise," Lina nonchalantly said.

Milo's head snapped towards her. A split second of clarity occurred. Then, he roughly swung his arm.

"Milo!" Lina gasped, dashing up, but it was too late.

Kaden could've dodged. He was immortal, for god's sake. But he took the punch, allowing himself to stagger back. Then, he touched the spot, his mouth filled with iron. He tasted blood and spat it out.

"What were you thinking?" Lina scolded, grabbing her younger brother's knuckles.

"I—"

"You weren't thinking!" Lina hissed, yanking it to her line of sight. She let out a groan when she saw the split skin.

"That man is made of pure muscle and stone, I'm surprised you didn't dislocate your fingers. Can you still bend it?" Lina worriedly asked whilst tenderly blowing on his cuts.

"That's not the issue—"

"Come inside, let big sister bandage it up for you." Lina tugged him through the front door. She could feel a frosty presence behind her and a vicious pair of eyes glowering at her.

"You too, my sulking husband," Lina called over her shoulders.

Kaden was the injured one, but Milo was the patient? What universe did either man wake up in?
