100 Days to Seduce the Devil

Chapter 454 The Contract

?

Day Fifty-Three…

~~*****~~

Mr. Hiroshi left the medical facility after talking to Nathan. He requested him to take good care of Abigail. He already ordered Kazuki to start tracing the Raven. Nathan had mixed emotions when the old man left.

He wanted him to become an ally. However, the fact that Phantomflake might be Mr. Hiroshi's daughter would make things complicated for them. But he had to gamble on this. Besides, he still needed to find out if Phantomflake was telling the truth about her identity as Shining Star.

He would give her the chance to prove it. And at the same time, he would use her for his benefit. Nathan was still waiting for the result of the DNA test when he received a call from Joker. They caught the hitman who was hired by Madam Lu.

"Boss… we caught him. We are currently in his place. We already interrogated him. We found out he hadn't made a move yet. He was not the one who attacked you and Miss Abi in Caceres Hill." Joker informed Nathan.

Nathan frowned, a hint of disappointment could be seen in his eyes. "So… he is not the real culprit. We haven't found him yet." Nathan assumed that another party was involved. Perhaps, the same person who caused Abigail's accident before.

"What are we going to do with him, Boss?" Joker consulted him.

"Eliminate him," Nathan coldly said.

"Got it, Boss."

Nathan didn't care if he wasn't the one who caused their accident. He still accepted the mission of hurting Abigail. He had to eliminate him to keep Abigail safe.

After talking to Joker, Nathan proceeded to Abigail's ward. For the past few days, she didn't show any improvement at all. Nathan felt exhausted and very drained from the things happening around him.

"Abi… when are you going to wake up? I don't know what to do… I'm getting tired of all this." Nathan felt like he still had a lot of things to do… so many mysteries to solve.

He wasn't sure if he was making the right decision. Shining Star, Monica, and Phantomflake were troubling his mind. 

Nathan spent his time just watching Abigail. He couldn't afford to lose another important person in his life.

He was lost in his thought when one medical staff approached him. "Sir, the result is out."

Her voice snapped him back to the present. He stood up and took the document from the medical staff. Nathan stared at the paper for a long moment before flipping the pages.

His eyes widened in surprise when he saw the result. The DNA samples were matched. This proved that Mr. Hiroshi and Phantomflake were father and daughter. Nathan crumpled the paper in his palm. He slammed his eyes shut while taking a deep breath.

'It's confirmed. Phantomflake is the missing daughter of Mr. Hiroshi.'

After gathering his emotions, Nathan called Axel. The phone rang for a few seconds before it was answered.

"Sir? Do you need something?" Axel asked Nathan curiously.

"Are you done preparing the contract?" Nathan responded with a cold tone.

"Yes. Sir. I already drafted the contract. It is good to go." 

"Bring it to the headquarters. I'll be going there to discuss this with Phantomflake." Nathan had to do these precautionary measures. He had to hold Phantomflake by her neck so that she wouldn't betray him. She was cunning and he didn't know what was running in her mind. She might have prepared so many tricks to deceive him.

Nathan immediately left the Medical Facility to make a deal with Phantomflake.

[ At Syphiruz Mafia Headquarters… ]

Jane blinked her eyes with amusement. She was looking at the food served to her by Chantha. She hadn't eaten anything for two days now. Finally, someone gave her some food.

"Don't worry. I didn't put poison in your food. Go. Dig in. I know you are hungry." Chantha urged her to eat.

"Uncuff me so that I can eat," Jane demanded.

Chantha frowned deeply while eyeing her suspiciously.

"I'm going to eat. I am not planning to escape. I'll behave. Besides, I have no strength to fight you right now." Jane reassured her.

Chantha sighed in defeat. She had no choice but to remove her binds. She just stayed there, watching her as she ate her food. Chantha hadn't informed Jane yet that she won the bet.

Chantha could only sigh deeply, regretting her actions. 'I shouldn't have accepted the bet.' She scratched the back of her head, feeling problematic.

"Chantha, can I also take a bath after this?" Jane requested.

Chantha, on the other hand, was taken aback. "How did you know my name?"

"I heard from Axel," Jane lied.

"Huh? He talked about me. What did he say?" Chantha asked Jane expectantly.

Jane just smiled inwardly. She was aware that Chantha and Axel were like dogs and cats, always fighting and arguing. But they couldn't hide the chemistry between them. Axel protected Chantha before.

"He said you're annoying," Jane responded, letting out a soft giggle.

Chantha pouted her lips and narrowed her eyes at her. "Hmmp!"

"Annoying but CUTE." Jane emphasizes the word 'cute'. She just wanted to tease her.

Chantha's expression brightened up because of her last remarks.

"Really? When did he say that?" Chantha tried to conceal the smile threatening to show up from the corners of her mouth.

"Just ask him." Jane focused on her food.

Speaking of the devil, Axel arrived and entered the white room. Both women turned in his direction. He was holding a document as he approached the two ladies.

Axel had a serious look on his face so Chantha didn't bother him. She just silently watched him.

'Why is he here?' Chantha mused to herself.

"Our Supreme Leader is on his way," Axel declared to them.

Jane chewed the food in her mouth before she spoke up. "I can't remember what happened yesterday. But I believe your Boss got the answer he wanted to hear from me."

Axel and Chantha exchanged glances with one another. They could feel Phantomflake's overbearing confidence.

'Did she already anticipate the end result of the interrogation? She doesn't look nervous or afraid.' Axel thought to himself.

'She is so lucky to stay alive…'
