24. Yuhanes
At night, hidden seashore, close to the country's boundary.
A big ship stranded on the shore, with the infamous black flag with two shotguns crossed within a bloody skull image. This ship was Brenna's strongest battleship as she named it as Bloody Mary.
After waiting almost half an hour, the thick bushes nearby shakes together a group of men emerged one by one, following their leader, Dragon.
" Tsk, as punctual as ever, Dragon." Brenna, a typical blonde woman with deep blue eyes and pointed nose. She wore a tight leather top and bottom, showing off her belly piercing and skull and rose tattoo. Unlike the pirates in the movie, Brenna used black cloth as the cap tied on her head.
Both sides of her waist strapped with a loose belt and holsters to hold two modified guns.
With a grunt, Dragon made a gesture to let his men boarding the ship following Brenna's female subordinate. " Don't forget our agreement." Dragon warned. Brenna guffawed, not bothering the man's grumpy attitude.
The two knows each other long enough to understand each other personalities. They hardly ever see each other in the past, yet secretly contacting to exchange some news and trades.
Walking side by side, the two talking without lowering their tone. " So, you killed that snake, Basaltic?"
Brenna once heard about this old leader of Dragon Snake Gang, Basaltic from Dragon. The man's deeds and reputation far worst than Dragon himself, yet he could be the legend in their circle that the only one getting hold both the sea and the land power on his own. " I'm the right heir to the gang, yet he transfer the power to his dumb son. Hah, like hell I'll just sit and wait."
After overthrow Basaltic, he killed that man's dumb son and took over the gang in less two months. He killed all Basaltic men, including the spies within the gang and completely intergrate his secret group into one. However, this victory didn't stay longer when a group of Zeus's men launched a surprise attack, caught him off guard.
" Basaltic sea powerhouse still out there, looking for you. Although he was not as infamous as you in the past, do not underestimate his strong leadership and insight in looking for talents to work for him. Also, don't forget about his still missing wife, Yuhanes. She's not that simple as you thought."
While talking about Yuhanes, she felt the scar on her back aching and hurting. In the past, there were two more women she counted as her enemies and rivals. One is Yuhanes, another one was Viper, one of Zeus's greatest female assassin soldier.
Dragon scoffed. " What a weak woman like her can do? Just because she knows some three legged kung fu, you already treated her as not simple? Don't make me laugh!" Dragon laughed. The two stepped inside the ship cabin and Brenna shouted to sail.
" Dragon, don't underestimate women capabilities in holding power. You, as the example. When you're in desperate, the only person you can relay on now is me, the weak woman in your eyes. Yuhanes also the same. Nobody knows about this, including Basaltic. Yuhanes actually is the leader of Black Lily, that infamous assassin group that took women as their greatest killing machines."
Brenna took a seat close to the round window, following by Dragon sitting on the opposite side of the table. She pointed with a hand gun towards Dragon, while winking at him in teasing manner. " And, you, my dear Dragon already on the wanted list of Black Lily with bounty 5 billion dollars."
" What?!" Dragon's face twisted in a hideous shape. His face darkened in vengeance.
Brenna shrugged, pushing a brown paper towards him." You can see it by yourself."
On the top of the brown paper was a big red alphabet: WANTED, including his clear picture and the bounty money under. The last sentences under it was a glaring darker shades of red; Dead or alive.
" So, I'm taking you in and helping already a declaration of war with Black Lily. So, you should be prepared for being haunted down by Black Lilies, including the other killers that tempted with this delicious hush money."
Brenna guffawed while slapping her blonde hair to the back. " Oh, one more. This wanted list already spreading almost a month now, I think."
Dragon took a deep breath, barely able to hold back his raging temper from lashing out towards the woman. He grits his teeth, hissing his offer one by one, no longer care about the loses. " Five more bottles, you're in this ship with me. I can offer you with a map to the hidden underwater tomb that I got by accident in the past."
Brenna's eyes flashed with greed after hearing his offer, including the map." Are you sure about the map?"
" Authentic enough for you to adds more ships for your women." Dragon took out a bamboo tube and throws it at her. This is his last bargain chip to let Brenna be his ally.
Brenna catch it and quickly open it to take a look. After looking almost 15 minutes, her laughter broke out from the room. " Perfect! I takes this deal."
" Good!" The two made a handshake and quickly seal their deal of protection and grand wealth.
" Help me gets some chicks for my men."
" No problem~" Brenna purring like a cat in heat. She leans forward, using her pointed index finger to trace Dragon's stubble chin. " Say, Dragon. Wanna be my mate tonight?"
Dragon, a bisexual man agreed, " Your room." Its hard to reject this attractive western woman that totally his type. He caught her finger, and took a teasing bite. Brenna giggled, purring lustfully.
**********
At another side of the sea, another battleship landed on the shore. A group of women in black with mask imprinted a white lily on it stood silently at each sides of the ship, guarding it. Their leader, with a red lily mask on her side seated on the chair, sipping tea elegantly and in tranquility. Her black eyes staring at the streaming mist blankly, with a hint of melancholy.
A female with a pink lily imprint mask comes closer with a brown folder in her hands. " Leader, the information we got from that man arrived. Here."
Yuhanes, the sole leader of Black Lily put down the cup. She took the file without looking inside. " Any news about that thing?"
" Yes. We got an insider info that Dragon got a hold of a box of it. However, how many of it was still remains unknown."
" Also, we got a news about a group of people arrived at uninhibited island near the country Z's sea border. This group of people was from that man, Zeus."
" They released another form of bounty for Dragon. The reason still unknown. However, I'm not sure about this rumors. They said, Zeus started this head hunting over Dragon because of... killing his child."
Yuhanes stunned. Child? Zeus have a child? " Is this the truth?"
" Still a rumour." The pink lily mask lady shakes her head.
Yuhanes remembered that Zeus had long leave the pugilistic world because of injury. They still remember that night how Zeus's group of men was slaughtered by a mysterious organization. The next day, their organization, Black Flag Group announced Zeus retirement. There was also a rumour about one of the elite female members of Black Flag also fallen in that slaughter. ' Was it her?'
