A satisfied smile appeared from the corners of Rex's lips when he saw Xander angry. He couldn't hide it, and he was not going to either.
"Why are you surprised? Of course, we keep GPS Tracker on each other's cellphones. My sister can find me whenever she wants. And vice versa..."
Scarlett was utterly speechless. She suddenly wanted to punch Rex in the head!
'Damn! Since when did we exchange GPS trackers!? This stupid Rex started talking nonsense!' She vented her anger in her heart. Just before she wanted to scold Rex, the man spoke again.
"Oh, don't tell me, you don't!?" Rex pauses while covering his mouth with his hand, feigning surprise. Still, his eyes clearly show his satisfaction with teaching Xander. He continued, "Oh no!! My sister won't let you do that. Damn!!"
"Stop it, Rex Morrison!!" She roared, startling everyone. Rex tightly closed his lips, but his eyes radiated triumph. That irritated Scarlett even more.
Scarlett looks back at Xander, smiling, then takes his hand. As their eyes meet, she says, "Don't listen to him, Xander! He's just trying to provoke you..."
She still can't believe Rex's plan turned out to irritate Xander. Gosh! Why did he suddenly turn like a child?
"Babe, don't worry. I will not get provoked. Not by a man-child like him!" Xander smiles and strokes her back lovingly.
"Before coming here, I sent him my GPS coordinates because he said he was on this island accompanying his grandfather for the reunion with Grandpa Riley..." She lied. Scarlett did send her position, but not to Rex. She sent her GPS coordinates to Seven. Unfortunately for Scarlett, there is no way for her to tell Xander about Seven. Not without upsetting Rex and the Guild, and might put Seven in a problematic situation.
Scarlett looked into Xander's eyes, trying to figure out if he believed what she said. It was really uncomfortable having to lie, but she couldn't risk the existence of their organization, could she!?
"Thank you for telling me that, babe. I fully understand and trust you!" Xander said with great concern.
Rex, who witnessed their PDA, felt like vomiting when he saw Xander deliberately provoking his emotions. Before Rex could say another word, he heard Xander continue his sentence, "Baby, where's the man you're chasing?"
Scarlett was stunned.
She looked back at Rex, silently asking him to help explain the situation. This time, her gaze was filled with a clear menace code! As she said through her eye; I'll never want to see you again if you continue provoking Xander!
A mischievous smile appeared on Rex's lips before he looked at Xander and said, "That bad guy and his buddies are dead! When I got here, they almost killed my little sister. So, I have no other choice but to exterminate them. You know I would do anything to protect her, right?"
Scarlett, "..."
"Ex-friend..." Rex shook his head slowly before continuing, "...save your gratitude. The people I killed must have something to do with what happened in the Ocean Group's resort. So, don't worry, before I end their life, I have all the evidence and proof that they are related to the mastermind of this case!"
Xander was quite surprised to hear Rex's words, but his heart was distressed thinking about Scarlett, who almost died here. This girl, why doesn't she value her own life?
pαndα,noνɐ1,сoМ He took a deep breath to express his worries. He needs to talk to his wife later about these kinds of incidents.
"Do you know who the mastermind is?" Xander asked with a curious gaze looking at Scarlett.
"Xander, this..." Scarlett was reluctant to tell him, as she knew that the family was close to the Xander family. Don't let the two families become enemies because of her.
Before Scarlett could continue explaining, she heard Rex chime in, "If I heard it right, his family name is Harris. Who are they? How dare they mess with my little sister?" This time Rex was really annoyed.
Instantly Xander's face darkened, the light in his eyes flickering like hellfire dancing in his eyes.
"Is that true?" Xander asked Scarlett slowly and calmly, but his tone was icy.
She took a deep breath before saying, "Hmm, they ordered these gangsters to tarnish Ocean Group's reputation by killing one of the resort's guests. I don't know what their motives are, but it's obvious they want to attack me. Xander, I don't understand why they would do that to me?" She said innocently. But in her heart, Scarlett already suspected all of this must be Ella Harris' idea.
Another long sigh came from Xander. His anger towards the Harris Family made his chest feel like it would burst.
Xander then hugged her. He felt terrible because of him; this girl was affected and almost lost her life. "Don't worry! I'll take care of them!"
If Rex didn't show up, Xander didn't know what would happen to his wife. He looked at Rex with an apologetic gaze.
"Rex..." Xander's tone sounded sincere, "...sorry and thank you!" Even though he hated Rex so much, he couldn't ignore that Rex had cared for Scarlett since she was a teenager.
He heard from Tyler that Rex cared for Scarlett. Like she was his little sister — although he didn't fully believe it because the look in Rex's eyes on Scarlett was ultimately the opposite, like seeing his lover.
Rex was pleased to hear that this proud man like Xander was willing to say sorry to him. He knows it is one of a few words in Xander's list of taboo things.
He secretly laughed happily in his heart before saying, "You don't need to thank me, man! Scarlett is my little sister. It's also my job to protect her. But now, there's a problem!"
"What is the problem?" Xander asked worriedly.
"How do we deal with this situation here? There are more than a dozen corpses over there. You know my status, right? It will be troublesome to get involved in a case like this, in this country..." Rex deliberately looks helpless in front of Xander.
Xander flinched. No wonder Scarlett can't handle this gangster alone. Even though she is an expert in martial arts, it turns out that she has many opponents.
"Don't worry. I'll take care of everything. You can go back now." Xander could see several men standing near the warehouse entrance. He was sure they were all Rex's people.
Rex said nothing to Xander but looked at Scarlett, "Tomorrow, come to my villa. Grandpa wants to see you!"
"Okay. But, which villa do you live in?" Scarlett never knew Morrison owned property on the island.
"Someone will pick you up!" He said, leaving with Nine and the others who pretended not to know her.
