100 Days to Seduce the Devil

Chapter 266 The Patient Is His Secret Lover?

Day Thirty...

~~*****~~

[ At St. Benedict Memorial Hospital... ]

The Red Dragon Mafia and the Syphiruz Mafia were set to meet at 7:00 pm in Orion Port. They would exchange hostages. The Dragon Lord changed the time. Instead of meeting them this morning, he arranged to do the negotiation in the evening. This was favorable for them.

Since the scheduled time was changed, Nathan had to wait before implementing his plan. Little did he know, Kathleen was already following him secretly. Nathan stayed in the hospital where the Red Dragon Mafia transferred Phantomflake.

Nathan had been roaming around the hospital. The hospital was a public hospital. He could tell that this was the Dragon Lord's strategy to mislead him. If not for Cliste's intel, he wouldn't think that the Red Dragon Mafia would hide Phantomflake in this small and public hospital.

When he visited Phantomflake's ward, he observed that only two men were standing outside as guards. The Dragon Lord mobilized his men and sent them to the Orion Port, leaving only two guards in Phantomflake's ward. Only Nathan came to the hospital. He didn't bring anyone inside the hospital so that he wouldn't attract unwanted attention.

"The Dragon Lord is a cunny person as well," Nathan mumbled, smirking inwardly as he watched the two guards from afar. "However, I am wiser than him," he added.

Nathan turned around and looked for a hiding place in the hospital. He already familiarized the in and out of the hospital. He already took note of the possible escape route.

He went to the hospital cafeteria and spent his time planning for his next move. He pulled out his phone from his pocket to check Axel and Chantha. He knew that his team was also preparing to meet the enemy.

Nathan typed his message for Axel.

[ Nathan: Is everything fine on your end? ]

Axel responded right away.

[ Axel: Sir, we are all set. We are going to follow your instruction. If we can't avoid confronting them and have to fight, we will make sure to protect Dr. Zhou. ]

Nathan ordered his men to cooperate with the Red Dragon Mafia's demand. They only wanted Jack and Spade. He knew that the Red Dragon Mafia would be more cautious about possible sabotage and tricks since they couldn't trust each other. Same with the Syphiruz Mafia. Nathan already made Plan B and precautionary measures to protect his men.

The Red Dragon Mafia only saw the thirty men they mobilized. But Nathan brought fifty men to Country J. The twenty men stayed hidden from the eyes of the Red Dragon Mafia. They would serve as his secret weapon against the Red Dragon Mafia. The teams got separated. The twenty men were sent here last night. They were now in position around the vicinity of the Orion Port.

Two members of the Syphiruz Mafia were already sent to this hospital last night, infiltrating it successfully. They would help Nathan in getting Phantomflake out of the hospital.

[ Nathan: Once I finish here, I will go there myself. Tell the team. ]

Nathan wanted to boost the morale of his comrades so his presence would reassure his men that he got their back. He knew some were feeling anxious because they were in the enemy's territory. He couldn't deny the fact that Country J was the Red Dragon's turf. They had to be more careful.

[ Axel: Thanks, Sir. I will relay the message to them. ]

[ Nathan: One last thing... Make sure to watch Chantha and comfort her. I know she is having a hard time just thinking about Violet's safety. ]

Nathan seldom showed kindness and expressed his concern for his comrade. Axel was surprised since Nathan was also worried about Chantha. He was about to respond to him when he received another message from Nathan.

[ Nathan: Be good to Chantha. Don't fight, argue and provoke her. I encourage you to control yourself and be patient with her. Have a TRUCE. ]

The next message he got from Nathan made Axel choke and cough. He didn't expect that Nathan would say those words. He sounded like he was teasing Axel. He knew that the two always fought and argued.

[ Axel: Yes... Boss. ] Axel felt like his eyes were burned from embarrassment. He didn't expect that their Supreme Leader would notice and remember the bickering between Chantha and him.

Reflexively, Axel tossed a look at Chantha who was silently sitting next to him. Chantha was unusually quiet. He could tell that she was nervous and so worried about her twin sister, Violet. Chantha was always jolly and lively but today, her expression was sullen.

Axel could only sigh helplessly. He was worried about her. He was not used to seeing her acting like this. He wanted to see her bright mood. He just hoped Violet was safe, otherwise, Chantha would be affected greatly. She loved her twin sister so much.

"Stop looking gloomy. Trust me... we will save them both." Axel softly mumbled, trying to comfort her. Chantha just looked at him with a sad expression.  "If you don't trust me then just trust our Supreme Leader..."

After saying that, Axel raised his phone and brought it in front of Chantha's face, showing Nathan's message to her. He thought maybe Nathan's worries and concerns for Chantha could cheer her up. As far as he knew Nathan was Chantha's ultimate crush.

Chantha's lips immediately curled up into a smile after reading Nathan's message. She felt touched seeing Nathan's message. Just like Axel, she had never expected that Nathan would worry about her and express his concern.

'I knew it. Our Supreme Leader is the only one who can cheer her up. When I asked her to trust me... she just gave me a sad look. But when it comes to our Supreme Leader, she immediately smiles...' Axel didn't know why but he felt disappointed just thinking about this. 'Can't she rely on me?' he lamented in his mind.

"Thanks, Axel..." Chantha said in a low voice.

Axel could only bob his head. "You're welcome."

The two were engulfed in an awkward silence once again after Axel spoke up.

Meanwhile, back at the hospital, Nathan was still waiting for the exchange to happen. After contacting Axel, he stood up and left the cafeteria. He searched for the two members of the Syphiruz who were already in disguised.

After a few minutes, Nathan received a message from his subordinate. They were in the Staff Locker room. Nathan headed to their location right away. He was not aware that Kathleen had been observing him for a while now.

"What is he doing here? Is Stephen hospitalized here?" Kathleen kept walking while hiding her presence from Nathan. She kept looking around but she didn't see Stephen at all.

"I wonder why he kept passing through the same ward a while ago. And I saw two men guarding the ward. I will check who is the person admitted to that ward." With that thought in mind, Kathleen had this crazy idea to find out who was the patient in that ward.

Kathleen stole a nurse uniform and disguised herself as one of the hospital staff. Pretending to be the nurse in charge of the patient in VIP Room #245, the two bodyguards allowed Kathleen to enter the room.

Upon seeing the patient, Kathleen gasped in surprise. 'What?! The patient is a woman?! Is she related to Nathan? A secret lover perhaps?'
