Chapter 360 The Identity Of The Pawn


    The sea breeze brushed long strands of hair across Serenity''s delicate face, toning down her


    oppressive aura.


    Her soothing voice had calmed down Susan as well.


    Serenity wrapped her arm around Susan''s shoulder, allowing Susan to rest her head on her


    shoulder.


    If one looked from afar, the image of two girls sticking up for each other was really touching and


    harmonious.


    "Boss, is it good for Serenity to be so close to Susan?” a confidant standing beside Joseph asked.


    He was a little worried when he saw the scene.


    A mysterious smile crossed Joseph''s face. "What’s wrong with that?"


    The confidant hesitated for a moment but then proceeded to express his concern. "Miss Serenity


    still doesn’t know her identity. What if she refuses to do it i n the future?"


    As he narrowed his eyes, the smile on Joseph''s face contorted into an evil grin. "Sometimes, as


    humans, w e can’t choose where wee from. In her case, she can only depend on us in the end.


    Once that man decides to use you as his pawn, there is no way you can escape from his control.


    She will not be an exception." 1


    While Joseph was talking, an unspeakable forlornness and sadness were flowing behind his gaze.


    While looking at Joseph''s indifferent profile, the confidant let out a soft sigh. He had been following


    Joseph for a long time, so it went without saying that h e understood the forlornness behind his


    eyes.


    That man was really powerful. Even his boss could not free himself from his control, let alone Miss


    Serenity. N o matter how close she was to the Wrights or Susan, she would still be his pawn


    when that day came.


    "But boss, why can''t we tell Miss Serenity the truth in advance? Maybe it is not as bad as you think,"


    the confidant could not help asking.


    Joseph sneered as a dark glint shed across his eyes. "Susan is not stupid. If you don''t treat her


    with sincerity, she will never treat you the same way. Serenity is still kept in the dark right now. She


    cares for Susan genuinely. Susan feels this, which is why she''s willing to let down her inner guard. If


    we let Serenity know her true identity and true mission in advance, she might not be able to hide it


    from Susan.”


    The confidant was shocked. He had not expected Joseph to have already thought so far ahead.


    When he looked at Susan and Serenity, his heart went out to the two girls.


    Undoubtedly, their friendship was unbreakable right now. The question was whether their friendship


    would be able to withstand the lies, deception, and betrayal that would soon befall them. Would they


    still be friends after Serenity''s true identity was revealed?


    He could not help sighing when he thought about it.


    Joseph threw a sidelong nce at his confidant and then said, "Rainn, I don''t want you to mention


    Serenity''s origins anymore, got it? The time is not ripe yet. I''ll forgive you this time, considering that


    you''ve been following me for a long time. However, if I ever hear you talk about something that you


    shouldn''t be talking about again, I guess you will discover the consequences."


    A chill ran down Rainn''s spine as he quickly replied," Understood, boss."


    Joseph threw another cold gaze at Serenity and Susan before turning around and walking away.


    After going through this tribtion, Joseph was certain that their rtionship would be even


    better.


    However, that was still not enough.


    He wanted them to grow even closer. He wanted them to be inseparable. Only then would he


    put his n into motion.


    ''When that timees, I would like to see what kind o f decision you will make, Serenity.


    Unfortunately, no matter what you choose in the end, your fate is already sealed so nothing will


    change. This is your destiny as a pawn.''


    The gears of the world were moving, and they were heading toward a future filled with turbulence.


    However, right now, Susan and Serenity were snuggling up against each other, using their most


    sincere feelings to warm each other up.


    Their days at sea were calm.


    15 dayster, Joseph led them to an ind full of modern facilities. When Serenity and Susan


    disembarked from the ship, they were stunned by the scene before them.


    Especially Serenity. As a daughter of the Wrights, she was very familiar with modern facilities. Thus,


    the more she looked at the ind''s defense mechanism, the more worried and scared she felt.


    ''Is Joseph really the head of a gang?''


    After all, this defensive mechanism was the highest-end mechanism she had ever seen. Most of the


    devices were owned exclusively by an overseas organization that never sold them in Canada.


    It had now urred to her that Joseph was not as simple as he seemed to be. At the very least, he


    should be a central figure of this overseas organization.


    Serenity got lost in her thoughts.

    ''Considering his identity, I suppose he did not only target Julian by abducting us.''


    Apparently, he was also targeting Lanyard, or maybe h e even wanted to destroy the Wrights.


    A bad hunch stirred in Serenity''s heart. She could feel that a huge web was being weaved. Would


    she and Susie be able to break free from this web?


    With that thought in mind, Serenity looked at Susan and made a decision. It had taken her parents''


    plenty o f effort to get Susan back to their side. If something were to happen to Susan, she was


    certain that her mother would not want to live anymore. Therefore, no matter what, she would


    protect Susan until she returned to the Wrights even if it cost her life.


    The moment Serenity made up her mind, her nervousness ebbed away and she calmed down.


    Susan could not read the thoughts in Serenity''s head. Even though she could tell that those devices


    were not ordinary, she did not think too much about them. Therefore, she was pretty calm right now.


    Joseph drove Serenity and Susan to the deepest part o f the ind.


    There was ake in the heart of the ind, and there was a small piece ofnd in the center of the


    lake. Thend was filled with buildings.


    Since thisnd was in the center of theke, they could only use a ship to get there. After half an


    hour, they finally arrived at their final destination.


    The buildings there were notrge, but they were all essential facilities. There were residential


    buildings, a hospital, and even a minischool. However, the


    building that stood out the most was a mansion.


    The mansion was where Joseph stayed.


    As they moved toward Joseph''s mansion, a lot of the residents came forward and greeted them


    warmly. Some of them even stuffed vegetables and fruit into their car.


    When a resident rushed over and handed a bunch of carrots to Joseph, Susan was startled.


    Just as she thought Joseph was going to do something to the resident, he just epted the bag of


    carrots calmly and even thanked the resident.


    Then, he asked Rainn to pay the residents afterward.


    Many residents came up to them and stuffed all sorts o f things into their hands. By the time they


    arrived at Joseph''s mansion, their car was filled with vegetables and fruit to the brim.


    The residents did not know that Susan and Serenity were Joseph’s hostages, so they had given


    them a lot o f things.


    Serenity and Susan were speechless. It seemed that Joseph was quite popr there.
