Chapter 71: I’ll Punish Him So Hard

The following day, Raine enjoyed the rest of the program prepared for the team building, including the various other side activities laid out for them. All the while, she subtly monitored Xander, making sure that he won't get himself killed throughout it all. 

"She's like his bodyguard in the shadows," Tyrone murmured as he watched Raine playing with the rest of the employees. He could also see how Raine's eyes were always trained at Xander at any given moment, sneaking in passing glances whenever she could.

Monitoring her own brand of monitoring, he sighed when Raine met his stare and intentionally winked in his direction. She was so unpredictable. She can switch between cold and hot at the drop of a hat, and he felt like he was about to go crazy because of it. Tyrone sighed as he recalled the phrase, 'There is no rose without its thorns.' He supposed that Raine was like a rose to him, a beauty with thorns.

Meanwhile, Raine smiled whenever she would meet Tyrone's gaze from a distance or would occasionally wink at him if she had the chance. As usual, the man was expressionless despite her antics. Nevertheless, she was still in the mood to tease him whenever she could just with her gaze alone.

As the activities continued, the team-building organizer, Sun, eventually prepared the group for a scavenger hunt. He wanted the team to be split into two smaller groups.

"Alright, we want each group to have the same number of men and women," Sun explained. 

He then called out the names that would comprise both groups. When all was said and done, Raine and Rui found themselves both in the same group. 

Raine rolled her eyes. He was sure that the man would try hard to read her again using his psychiatric techniques.

"Here are the lists of items you should look for," Sun cheerfully explained, handing out the lists written on small index cards. "It also has a separate list of things you have to do. The deadline is at 11:00 AM, just before lunch. By then, everyone should be back here. The first team to accomplish all the tasks wins!"

After a few more minutes of preambles, the scavenger hunt officially began. The two teams split up, scattering all around throughout the resort. The private island they were currently staying on was beautiful, with gorgeous blue waters and nature spots overflowing with greenery. As such, the impromptu tour made Raine truly enjoy the place. 

Raine glanced around, smiling as she wished that she could just sit around and relax without bothering about the things around her. Unfortunately, she knew it was impossible.

Looking at the list, one of the tasks was to give a teammate a piggyback ride for ten minutes. A smirk developing on her face, Raine suddenly hopped on to Rui's back and said, "Hurry up and let's win this game, Mr. Meddler!"

Rui, left no choice, complied with the nuisance. 

After completing the task, Raine let herself wander behind. She intentionally separated herself from the others, wanting to do some of the more difficult tasks that they needed. 

"Why are you alone?" Tyrone whispered. He was like a mushroom that suddenly appeared beside Raine as they walked into an area where the rest was not around.

"Ah, that's a good question. Why am I alone? Maybe, I intentionally did it so you can walk with me like this," Raine answered with a smile.

"What are your current plans for Xander?" Tyrone suddenly asked. He wanted to know if she would really kill Xander, or if she would actually spare the man.

Raine stopped for a while, sitting on the ground as she rested her back on the trunk of a big tree. With a wave, she signaled Tyrone to sit with her.

"Tell my uncle that I'm pissed off. Last night, I saw one of his minions wandering around Xander," Raine huffed. "I already told him that if he messed around with me, then he can do the job personally since I won't bother doing it anymore."

A beat passed, the sound of rustling leaves mixing with the ocean waves.

She turned to Tyrone and asked, "Tell me, what do you think I should do?"

"It's always best to do the right thing," Tyrone plainly answered.

Raine chuckled, "And the right thing to do is not to kill an innocent person. I guess I won't kill Xander and do the right thing…" Her eyes wandered away from him and towards the tree in front of her. "Do you think you can assist me on that as well, Tyrone Lopez? Can I really trust you to be my right-hand man?"

"I wanted to assist you in your tasks as long as I could. You can trust me," Tyrone whispered.

"Trust is a very fragile thing. I'm sure you're well aware of it, so I hope you won't break it," Raine nonchalantly spoke. "From now on, you will be my right-hand man. You will be assisting the Moon Clan Princess of the Mirage secret society," she said as she stood up back to her feet. She then quickly ran back to her team, not even waiting for Tyrone to respond.

Tyrone let out a very long and heavy sigh as he watched Raine run back to others.

'What will you do to me if I ended up breaking your trust, Princess Raine?" Tyrone whispered out with a blank expression.

Picking up her pace, Raine went back to join the others. After a few hours she felt utterly exhausted from the almost never-ending activities constantly thrown at them. As such, she went straight to her room as soon as it all ended. She hadn't seen Tyrone ever since they last talked during the scavenger hunt, making Raine wonder what he was doing at that moment.

But after a brief thought about it, she chose to let him be for now. She had just confirmed to him the existence of the Mirage a while ago. If her three musketeers ever found out about it, Raine would most likely receive a lot negative comments from them. However, those three should still know about her impulsive and reckless decision.

Fishing out her phone, she immediately did a group video call with the three and informed them that Tyrone was now her right-hand man.

"Boss, is this a prank?!" Levi asked in disbelief. She could see how the three of them all had frowns on their faces.

"Boss, are you not satisfied with how I'm assisting you?" Lyne asked with a betrayed tone.

Raine chuckled, "Dont worry, guys. Nothing will change except for the fact that Tyrone will now have more involvement in our operations. It's like he will be the one to stay with me 24/7. Lyne is still my left-hand woman."

There was dead silence at her words, so Raine added, "You three always complained about how we should add more people that we could trust to the team. I'm adding a new member since you're all jam-packed with your respective jobs. How come you're all still complaining?"

"But Boss, it's too sudden. Besides, we're not even sure yet if we can trust that Tyrone," Mia mumbled. 

Lyne composed herself. She understood that their Boss had a good reason for making such a decision out of the blue. Instead, she simply accepted the new status quo, "We got you, Boss. I'll start briefing Tyrone tonight about everything he needs to know."

Mia let out a long sigh, then murmured, "Copy, Boss."

Raine looked at Levi, who seemed to be struggling to accept Tyrone. "Levi?"

"Noted, Boss," Levi whispered, almost at a gasp.

"Thank you, guys. Let's see what Tyrone is capable of first. I'm sure he can be trusted. After all, if he ever betrays me, then I will personally kill him with my own hands," Raine spoke with a serious tone in her voice. She meant every word.

"Boss…" Levi called.

"Yes, Levi?"

"What if you fall in love with him? Can you really kill him if he betrays you?" Levi straightforwardly asked.

It was a question Raine didn't expect.. Nonetheless, she gave Levi a reassuring smile as she said, "If I can't kill him, then I'll punish him so hard that he would wish that I killed him instead."
