Chapter 279 The Dragon Lord Was Defeated
Day Thirty One…
~~*****~~
[ Country J: At Red Dragon Mafia's Headquarters… ]
Crash!
Smash!
The Dragon Lord's office was quite a mess. The Dragon Lord broke several things inside as soon as he learned that Phantomflake disappeared from St. Benedict Memorial Hospital. He suspected that Nathan and the Syphiruz Mafia were the ones who took her away.
'Damn it! No wonder Nathan Sparks didn't show up during the exchange. He was doing another mission. He came for Phantomflake!' the Dragon Lord finally figured out the reason for Nathan's absence during the negotiation.
Slam!
Thud!
The Dragon Lord smashed his table and kicked his chair at that realization. Nathan had outsmarted him. He couldn't accept it. He lost to Nathan once again!
"How could that be possible? How did he know that Phantomflake was transferred to St. Benedict?!"
The Dragon Lord couldn't believe that Nathan found the location as soon as possible. He made a mistake. He became so confident that Nathan wouldn't be able to find Phantomflake. Abigail was only transferred to St. Benedict Memorial Hospital for a day. How come Nathan was able to trace the location?
''SizzlingAugust08… the greatest hacker… was he the one who found the location?" The Dragon Lord had no idea that Nathan was SizzlingAugust08. And his conjecture was wrong. A magical creature (Bam-Bam) was the one who helped Abigail and Nathan in tracking Phantomflake's location.
"Damn it!" He cursed under his breath. He punched the table over and over again.
It did not take long before Jack and Agustav entered the room. They had something to discuss with their leader but they knew that they were in the wrong timing since the office was in a chaotic state and the Dragon Lord was still furious about what happened.
"Dragon Lord… everyone is waiting for your command." Agustav mustered his courage up to speak to their moody leader. "What are we going to do to the other members of the Syphiruz Mafia?" The Red Dragon Mafia still had prisoners. Only Stephen and Violet were able to escape during their encounter with the Syphiruz Mafia.
"Kill. Them. All." The Dragon Lord commanded with his authority.
"Consider it done, my lord," Agustav promptly responded. He immediately left the room to execute the Dragon Lord's order.
When Agustav was gone, Jack gained the opportunity to discuss an important matter with the Dragon Lord.
"Dragon Lord… I have something important to tell you…"
The Dragon Lord tossed a puzzled look at Jack. Seeing his bruises made him more enraged. Jack was badly beaten up and Spade was still in the hospital, recuperating from his gunshot wounds. He hasn't regained consciousness yet.
"What is it?" he plainly said.
"My Lord… there is a traitor among us. Spade told me something before he lost consciousness. He told me that the man who fired the first gunshot came from our team, not from the Syphiruz Mafia. And the target was me. Not Spade. He just protected me."
The Dragon Lord was stunned for a moment when he heard that. Jack would never lie about this so he could tell that he was telling the truth. Furthermore, there was no reason for him to lie about this incident.
"A traitor from our team?" A deep crease formed on the Dragon Lord's forehead as he questioned Jack.
Jack bobbed his head to confirm it. "Yes, my lord."
"Does it mean… the members of the Syphiruz Mafia didn't break the rule of our negotiation. The first gunshot came from our team… Who dares defy my orders?" The Dragon Lord gnashed his teeth while clenching his fists. Someone from his team violated the rules. And it resulted in their comrades getting injured. Both parties, (Syphiruz, and Red Dragon) had casualties during the shootout. It started because of a traitor from their group.
"Fuck! You have to find out who is the traitor among us. I will never forgive him. They must be kicked out and punished!" the Dragon Lord's cold voice reverberated inside his office.
"I understand, my Lord. Just leave it to me. Spade was hurt because of me. The least I can do is to find the culprit who shot him. I will punish the traitor by myself." Jack said with conviction.
"By the way, how are you feeling? Just take it easy and rest until you recover." The Dragon Lord didn't hide his concern for his loyal subordinate. He was worried for both Jack and Spade.
But he was glad that they were no longer in the hands of the Syphiruz Mafia. He knew that Nathan could be ruthless. If he didn't capture Stephen and Violet, Nathan would have killed Jack already. Nathan even reclaimed Phantomflake.
"I'm just fine, my Lord. Don't worry. This is nothing compared to the wounds I received when I was tortured by another organization. The King Stallions. I can manage." Jack reassured the Dragon Lord. Deep inside, he felt so touched since their leader showed concern for both Spade and him.
"Okay. I will leave this task to you. I have to go back to Country M to continue my plan." A chilly glint flickered in his eyes. The battle between Nathan and the Dragon Lord was not yet done. This was the only start. He would never give up until he brought Nathan down.
"What are you planning this time, my Lord?" Jack was a little bit worried. Country M was the Syphiruz Mafia's turf. The Dragon Lord should be more careful.
"I will try to target Nathan's weakness. His son and his woman… I have to get close to them without Nathan's knowledge. His son is heavily guarded so I will start with his woman… Abigail Scarlett." A sly smile appeared on his face as he thought about the actress. He already made a preparation. During the Star Gala, he would join the party and create a 'chance encounter' with her.
"My Lord… be careful. That woman is very strange. She is not a typical actress. She was the one who chased after me at the airport. She is very observant. Her eyes were like hawks. She can easily see through you." Jack warned his leader.
"She seems interesting. I like it. Let's see how good she is."
