Messing With Her? Are You Crazy! novel Chapter 1606

Especially when...

Serena directed that smile at Fenris, Nicholas felt a sharp spike of jealousy.

Serena naturally sensed the sudden, dark shift in the man's aura.

She tilted her head, shooting him an amused look.

What a petty, possessive man.

She chuckled softly to herself.

She came to a sudden halt and turned back to look at Jerrick, who was following them. "Mr. Fenris."

She curved her lips. "That's enough. You don't need to walk me to my room."

Jerrick looked up, his grayish-blue eyes fixed on Serena, as if trying to guess what new scheme she had in mind.

Instead, he watched as Serena reached out and hooked her finger into Nicholas's tie.

With a slight tug of her pale fingers, she pulled the man closer.

"Today~ I belong entirely to my Patron."

The girl's voice lilted at the end, carrying a soft, almost intoxicatingly seductive tone.

It held the righteous confidence of someone who knew exactly how spoiled she was.

As the distance between them vanished, Serena tilted her face up. Her pale, brooding features looked strikingly beautiful and dangerously alluring under the ship's lights.

"My Patron~ shall we discuss your bill now?"

Nicholas cast his gaze down, the dark intensity in his eyes melting away instantly.

He looked at this audacious little arsonist and let out a low laugh.

Reaching out, he wrapped an arm around Serena's slender waist, pulling her flush against his chest.

"Of course."

The man's voice was husky, dripping with raw desire. "Ms. Panacea, I am absolutely dying... to settle our accounts."

The two clung to each other, walking away as if there was no one else in the world.

Jerrick stood frozen in place, his somber gaze tracking their retreating figures until they disappeared at the end of the corridor.

After a long moment, he finally looked away.

...

Only his eyes, reflecting the cold light of the screens, gleamed with a sinister and dangerous intensity.

The technician standing nearby was drenched in cold sweat. He kept his head bowed, his voice trembling. "My Lord Raven..."

"Asset 07's attack protocol has been forcibly severed."

"We tried to restore it, but... The Panacea's methods are too bizarre. Not only did she cut off the target recognition, but it's as if she dug out our entire Ghost Frequency Overlay."

He swallowed hard. "If we try to reinstate the command, the tech team responsible for Asset 07 will definitely trace the signal back here."

"Heh."

A low chuckle echoed from the shadows.

The sound was incredibly eerie, like a venomous snake hissing, sending shivers down their spines.

The man in the dark—The Raven—stared at the screen, watching the stunningly enigmatic woman force Asset 07 into submission.

"The Panacea..."

He spoke slowly, his voice a raspy whisper.

His eyes shone with a highly dangerous, almost fanatical interest. "This woman is definitely no ordinary black-market doctor."
