Chapter 980
Knowing that she was going to attend a gathering at night, Johanna picked a gown from the walk-in closet and
began tailoring it.
As she still needed to do her hair, she did not put on the gown so soon.
At four in the evening, Johanna and Zephyr left the castle by car. It took the car over half an hour to reach the foot
of the mountain. Dozens of minutes later, they finally arrived at a district.
The car came to a stop in front of a tattoo shop. After Zephyr came down from the car, he opened the car door for
Johanna.
Once Johanna came out, Zephyr held her waist and led her into the tattoo parlor. At the same time, the bodyguards
that came down from the other cars barricaded around the tattoo shop.
There were several people in the shop—men and women. The moment they saw Zephyr enter, they bowed politely
before him.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt"Mr. Zephyr.”
Zephyr pushed Johanna into a seat. ‘‘Tattoo her.”
Johanna knew that the Carlo family's insignia was a crow, and Zephyr had a crow on his left arm as well. However,
she did not want a disgusting tattoo like that on her skin.
“I'm allergic to anesthesia,” Johanna said, trying to make herself seem fragile. “Can I just have a tattoo sticker?”
“I have to brand what's mine.” Zephyr brushed his finger across her cheek. “If you're allergic to the anesthesia, I'll
tell them not to give you a shot.”
He then leaned closer to Johanna and said, “Why don't we do it while they tattoo you? That way, you won't feel the
pain, hm?”
Sickened, Johanna shoved the man away.
Zephyr laughed and took a seat on the couch before checking his messages on his phone.
Meanwhile, the tattoo artist pulled up Johanna's sleeve to sterilize her arm before injecting topical anesthesia into
the part of her skin where the tattoo was going to be. After that, the others came over to do Johanna's hair.
The sky outside the tattoo parlor gradually darkened.
Right then. Zephyr received a call.
After he picked it up, he walked over to glance at Johanna's arm. The image of a crow was already half-done.
Zephyr leaned over to kiss Johanna's ear before telling her, “I have something to attend to, so I'll leave first. The
bodyguards will send you to Kaiser Villa later.”
“All right.” Johanna had been hoping that he would leave since a long time ago.
Once Zephyr was gone, Johanna no longer felt suffocated. When her eyes scanned the area, she noticed two
bodyguards in the tattoo parlor.
She had no chance to run at all.
Half an hour later, a crow tattoo was tattooed onto Johanna's left arm. It was striking, and the sight of it made her
nauseous.
When Johanna stood up and grabbed the bag on her way to the dressing room, she paused in her tracks and turned
to get a pair of scissors from the tattoo artist.
The tattoo artist hesitated.
“If I wanted to kill myself, I would've done so earlier; I won't wait until now.” Johanna snorted. “There are
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmbodyguards here. Are you afraid that I'd rob you?”
After that, Johanna went into the dressing room with the pair of scissors the tattoo artist handed her.
Ten minutes later, Johanna came out after changing. Those who saw her outfit could not help but drop their jaws in
shock.
Nevertheless, Johanna ignored them. Once she put on her jewelry pieces, she walked out of the tattoo parlor and
went into the car.
Kaiser Villa was a luxury villa built in the eighteenth century. After a few changes in ownership, the villa ended up in
the hands of the Leonardo family.
The Leonardo family frequently held gatherings there, and they would invite the rich and the powerful.
It was the head of the Leonardo family, Alston Leonardo's thirty-third birthday that day. So, he had invited
numerous friends over to partake in his birthday celebration in the gilded halls.
Right then, two servers slowly opened the doors, which had been closed five minutes ago.
The Leonardos were one of the three major mafia groups in Lostaria, and since their current leader was having a
birthday celebration, those who attended were particularly courteous to show their utmost respect. Unexpectedly,
someone was late to the event.
Some people then began sneering as they turned toward the doors, wondering who was bold enough to be late.
Then, a figure ambled into the hall under the crystalline lights.
