"Miss, if you don't mind me asking, does Silver Dragon know your real identity?" Elliot asked when he and Lillie left the HQ and came back to WPE.

But before that, they first stopped at the hidden, underground garage—that was miles away from the HQ—where they switch from White Bird's limo into Lillie Bai's car. ​​

"En." She replied, curtly. Elliot didn't say anything, focusing his attention to the road instead.

He knew that Lillie does not trust anyone easily. Upsetting it may sound but he knew he's one of them and he respected her judgements.

He too, does not trust anyone...excluding her, of course. He owe his life to her. He willingly offered it and let her use it to her heart's content.

He knew from the start that he was no where near her level, their gap is much like a lowly commoner to an Emperor. His feelings may never be heard but he's contented just by standing behind her...even to the day someone will sweep her off her feet and put a diamond ring on her slender finger, he'll be willing to stand and watch her by the sidelines.

If that day comes when she will marry 'that' man, he swear to show no mercy if he dares to hurt her. A servant he may be but, he's not called the most ruthless man in the Underworld for nothing.

A lowly commoner may enter the palace and be a lowly concubine until she climbs the ranks by using tricks, eliminating the consorts as well as the Empress until that lowly concubine will stand high among everyone as the nation's mother. [1]

Ethan, now known by not only the White Bird Organization but the whole Underworld as Silver Dragon, had left the HQ using the big bike he used when he was a teen and became an Underworld gangster.

First day of his comeback to the Underworld, Ethan had faced some unique characters that he found all within White Bird's vicinity. Thousand Face Succubi did not spare him from her flirtatious and lecherous hands. Good thing his wife already left, afraid that she'll misunderstand.

Fortunately, Enyo helped him out by slapping her hands away, saying she should show some respect to their Boss' left-hand man. As for Red Raven, he was glaring at him all throughout. Ethan also met the twins, Killer Jack and Jill, the are the youngest in the group but they act more mature than the 27 year old hacker, Red Raven.

Silent Death...has been silent.

If Ethan had to rank everyone based on their personality, from good to worst, he'd say that Silent Death was was the number one, because he's quiet and loyal to Lillie but not that close unlike a certain someone. Second is the ever so strict Enyo, third is Red Raven, believe it or not. Fourth is Thousand Face Succubi, because he hated being touched by others, expect for Lillie. Lastly, the certain someone, White Crow or simply known as Elliot. You ask why?

You just read it.

'Vrrrr...vrrrr...'

Ethan felt his phone vibrate from his pocket. Parking his bike at the side of the deserted road, he glanced at the caller's name before answering it without hesitation.

"Yes?"

[Where are you?]

"I'm going to visit some old friends."

[I see.]

"Are you perhaps...worried about me?" Even without looking at him face-to-face, Lillie can certainly tell that he's smirking.

[I simply needed to know your whereabouts, incase you plan on revoking, which will be a horrible idea.]

"Fear not, my dear. Even if the sun replaced the moon, my loyalty belongs to you alone." He consoled.

[Words aren't proof for your promises.]

"Then you just have to wait and see for yourself. But, be warned, I take my promises 'really' seriously." Especially if it's you.
