100 Days to Seduce the Devil

Day Twenty Seven…

~~*****~~

CRASH!

The Dragon Lord broke the cup of coffee in his arms after hearing the bad news. Two of their hideouts were destroyed! The Syphiruz Mafia already made a move. It was also a sneaky attack.

But the thing he couldn't accept was that the Sawada Clan also attacked their hideout. For what reason?! He was supposed to make a deal with them. But now, it seemed that the negotiation would be called off because of this incident.

"Track Spade and Jack! I think they are in danger." The Dragon Lord was worried that his loyal subordinates would suffer at the hands of those two notorious groups– Syphiruz and Sawada.

Spade was the head of his defense and security, responsible for strengthening the security system of the Red Dragon Mafia. He also had a great contribution in gathering intel and important information for the organization.

"Yes, our Lord. We are doing our best to track them."

A chilly glint flashed through his eyes. Dragon Lord has another way to know their whereabouts. 'If they can't find them, I have to confront the Syphiruz Mafia and the Sawada Clan.'

"I knew it. Nathan will not stand still. He will do anything just to get what he wants." The Dragon Lord mumbled through his gritted teeth.

The Dragon Lord hastily left the pool area, marching inside the house. He had to call the Branch Leader managing the Sanitarium in Country J. He needed to make a move before Nathan launched another attack.

"Agustav! I need you to go to Country J today. Make some preparations. Mobilize our elite men. I believe the Syphiruz will try to raid our Sanitarium. We will set a trap for them and annihilate the members who will set foot in our territory!" The Dragon Lord prepared a counterattack.

He knew Nathan. Since he was so obsessed with Phantomflake, the Dragon Lord was certain that Nathan would come personally to reclaim her and get her back.

'I will make sure to punish you, Nathan Sparks… for destroying my two headquarters. You want war… then I will give you war!'

Meanwhile, the Dragon Lord's target, Nathan, was preoccupied right now. Using his old account, Nathan was searching for the location of the Red Dragon Mafia's Sanitarium in Country J.

A tap tap of the keyboard could be heard in his office. Several tabs kept popping on his screen– a combination of numbers and letters running the program.

Nathan tried to backtrack everything. The day Phantomflake was transferred to the Sanitarium. He was searching for the recordings in the airports for both Country M and Country J.

It would take a lot of time to find their traces but Nathan wouldn't give up. He also used his influence to gather information about the Red Dragon's Sanitarium in Country J.

He knew that Country J was the turf of the Red Dragon Mafia. He couldn't launch an attack blindly. He should be more careful because it was the Enemy's territory.

Even the government was secretly supporting the Red Dragon Mafia. The government officials in Country J didn't want to offend that organization, otherwise, they would cause great chaos in that country. The Red Dragon Mafia was capable of doing that.

As Nathan was doing this, he was unaware that his enemy was already preparing for his arrival. They would set a trap in the Sanitarium. As of now, Phantomflake was now being transferred to another medical facility.

The Dragon Lord thought of hiding her in a place where Nathan wouldn't be expecting or even imagine.

Nathan was still searching and tracking the Sanitarium when he received a call from Mr. Hiroshi. Nathan picked up the call almost immediately.

"Mr. Sparks, where are you right now?" Mr. Hiroshi directly asked Nathan.

Feeling a little bit confused, Nathan answered him. "I'm in my office, Mr. Hiroshi. Why?"

"Come to this address. There is something I wanna show you." There was urgency in Mr. Hiroshi's tone.

Nathan contemplated for a moment. He was looking at his computer screen. He was not yet done looking for the Sanitarium.

"Don't make me wait!" Mr. Hiroshi spoke again as if he was able to read what was on Nathan's mind.

Nathan couldn't refuse him. Mr. Hiroshi had this kind of authority that would force someone not to defy him. Nathan could only sigh inwardly before saying, "Okay. I'm leaving my office now. Let's meet there in a while."

Nathan had no other choice but to leave. But he wouldn't stop searching for the location of the Sanitarium. He picked up his laptop and connected it to his portable wifi connection. He grabbed his coat and car keys. Upon leaving his office, he bumped into Axel at the entrance door.

"Axel, we need to go somewhere. Drive for me." Nathan ordered Axel and handed over the car keys to him.

Axel could only bob his head and followed Nathan behind. The two headed to the place. It was a private subdivision. Mr. Hiroshi just bought a house just for today. The man he captured was brought to the house by his men.

It did not take long when Nathan and Axel arrived at the subdivision. The house was located in a more secluded area of the subdivision.

Several men in black were standing outside the house, staying on guard. Upon seeing Nathan as he alighted from the car, the men in black opened the gate for them.

"Please come in…" the guard led them inside the house where Mr. Hiroshi and Kazuki were waiting for them.

Nathan and Axel were not surprised since they knew that they were members of the Sawada Clan.

"Finally, you are here," Mr. Hiroshi greeted Nathan immediately. He was grinning from ear to ear. He was staring at him meaningfully.

Nathan just maintained his calm expression as he faced Mr. Hiroshi. He wondered if Mr. Hiroshi would confront him about his white lie. He used Abigail's shooting incident to create conflict between Mr. Hiroshi and the Dragon Lord.

'Did he find out already?' Nathan assessed Mr. Hiroshi's expression. He couldn't figure out what he was thinking at this moment.

"I have a surprise for you." Mr. Hiroshi spoke again, motioning to his right-hand man, Kazuki, to guide them to the room.

Nathan and Axel met each other's gazes before following Kazuki and Mr. Hiroshi.

Kazuki pushed the door open and stepped to the side, making a way for Mr. Hiroshi, Nathan, and Axel. They saw a blindfolded guy who was being tied down in a steel chair. From the look of it, the guy had been beaten up. He had several bruises on his face and body. He was unconscious right now.

Mr. Hiroshi stepped closer  "Here is the man… the Hitman who shot you and Abigail!"

Nathan and Axel were stunned for a moment when they heard that. Did Mr. Hiroshi catch the real hitman? The Syphiruz Mafia was still investigating the incident. They didn't have a clue who sent the gunman since Nathan had so many people whom he offended before… he got so many rivals in business and in the underworld.

"What do you mean, Mr. Hiroshi?" Nathan failed to conceal his confusion. "Are you sure… he is the one?"

Mr. Hiroshi bobbed his head, confident. "Yes. He is the one. His name is Jack. He is an infamous hitman who joined the Red Dragon Mafia. Since then, he is no longer accepting missions from other organizations. He became an exclusive hitman of the Red Dragon. He was promoted to be a high-ranking member of the organization."

Nathan looked at him with amusement. Even Axel didn't expect that Mr. Hiroshi would catch Jack 'The Hitman'.

"Don't worry. I have connections. I got some intel and we've confirmed it. This guy was the one who shot Abigail." Mr. Hiroshi gave his signal to Kazuki, allowing him to present the proof that Jack was indeed the hitman who tried to shoot Nathan.

Mr. Hiroshi mobilized his special task force to catch the real culprit and the evidence led them to Jack. The Sawada Clan also had unique resources and power that could help them solve an incident and catch a culprit faster than any other organization.

Axel accepted the files. His jaw dropped upon seeing the concrete proof. "Sir… this is…" Axel handed the files over to Nathan. "The Red Dragon called the hit. You were not mistaken!"

Nathan frowned deeply. He gripped the files tightly, clutching the paper. He didn't expect that the Red Dragon Mafia was also involved in that shooting incident. There was a sudden surge of anger in his heart. The Red Dragon Mafia kept on touching his bottom line!

"So I did it… just like what I had told you in the hospital. Fulfilling my words, I caught the culprit. Now I am leaving him to you. But remember, we have a deal. You should allow Abigail to go with me once I invite her to visit my country." Mr. Hiroshi didn't waste this opportunity to get Nathan's consent. He didn't know why but he just wanted to get closer and spend more time with Abigail. His yearning for his missing daughter was growing as time went by.

Nathan fell silent for a moment. He was thinking about this deal. He couldn't say yes right away. Something was stopping him from allowing Abigail to go to another country… especially if she would be with another man. He had this wild imagination, thinking that Mr. Hiroshi wanted to become Abigail's Sugar Daddy!

"I agree. But on one condition… I have to come and accompany her."

Mr. Hiroshi: "..."

Axel: "..."
