[ At Red Dragon Mafia's Hideout- Country M Branch ]

Alexander invited Vincent to his hideout. He would like to celebrate with him for what happened today. The two should rejoice in creating discord between Mr. Hiroshi and Nathan.

Vincent came alone, leaving Monica behind. Monica was still grounded for defying Vincent's order. Besides, she needed to stay in the hospital where Maximilian Carlsen was admitted.

Alexander's private room was adorned with mahogany furniture and porcelain decorators. A large window offered a stunning view of the city view at night. It did not take long before Vincent entered the room.

He exchanged a nod with Alexander who stood behind an ornate bar, ready to concoct a celebratory drink.

"Welcome to my cocoon!" Alexander said teasingly. He was in a good mood today. "Vincent, my friend, I trust you're ready for a toast to our recent success?" he raised a glass of liquor in front of him as he invited Vincent to join him.

Vincent greeted him back with a broad smile as he slowly traced his steps toward him. "Absolutely. How did it go?" Vincent was dying to hear an update from the Dragon Lord.

"Let me pour you a drink first," Alexander said, waiting for Vincent to settle down in his seat.

Alexander moved with practiced elegance, selecting various bottles of rare and exquisite liquors from his collection. He poured precise measures into empty crystal glass, placed in front of Vincent.

"Cheers to our success!" Alexander said cheerfully, raising his glass.

Vincent also raised his glass in agreement, a glint of satisfaction in his eyes as they clinked their glasses together, the tinkling sound resonating in the room.

The two of them savored the drink, the smile on their faces never left. As they took leisurely sips of the celebratory drink, they began to discuss their plans, alliances, and the updates of Alexander's meet-up with the Godfather of the Sawada Clan.

"Before we proceed to the exciting part…" Alexander paused for a moment before he continued his words. "I'm sorry for your loss. Your right-hand man suffered grave injuries. How is his condition presently?"

"He is out of danger now. But he suffered a third-degree burn on his right arm." Vincent felt sorry for Phoenix. He was like a brother to him.

"Did you find out the culprit?" Alexander asked him curiously.

"Yes. A traitor is always a traitor. It's Joker, Nathan's subordinate. I was deceived. I lower my guard." Vincent expressed his regret for trusting Joker. "I'm gonna hunt him down and make him pay."

"Chill. We are here to celebrate. Hmm. Let me tell you what happened to change your mood." Alexander wanted to console Vincent.

"Sure. Spill the beans. How did Godfather react?" Vincent's interest was piqued.

"Furious. He walked out, bringing with him my tablet. I guess he won't let this slide and get revenge against Nathan. I also hope he will sever ties with him." Alexander rejoiced, taking a sip of his liquor.

"Good. This is what I want to hear." Vincent's eyes gleamed with satisfaction. But he didn't care about the alliance. The result he truly wanted was for Mr. Hiroshi to separate Jane from Nathan.

"I'm going to set another appointment with the Sawada Clan. I will continue asking them for collaboration. Who knows they might join us in bringing Syphiruz Mafia down." Alexander assumed that the Sawada Clan would work together with them to destroy the Syphiruz Mafia.

"Cheers to that," Vincent said with a smirk.

The two clinked their glasses for another toast.

"By the way, is it true that Nathan Sparks is your half-brother? What is your next move now, King?" As part of their alliance, Alexander needed to know Vincent's next plan.

Vincent just gave him a meaningful smile and said, "I'm going to ruin the Sparks. I no longer have a brother nor father. The reason for my very existence is to make them suffer. I'll take away his woman… and his child."

Alexander didn't say another word. He just shrugged his shoulders. He didn't want to get involved in complicated family matters. He could tell that this was a personal vendetta of Vincent toward the Sparks.

"May the best man win," Vincent added before gulping the remaining liquor in his glass.

[ At Jane's Hideout… ]

Hanabi dropped by Jane's hideout, hoping to see her sister. But to her disappointment, Jane was not around. Only Cherry was present in the place.

"Hey, what's troubling you? You don't look good." Cherry immediately noticed Hanabi's troubled expression. She was in a dilemma. She wanted to share information with Jane however, Mr. Hiroshi warned her not to tell her anything.

"Cherry! This is driving me crazy!" Hanabi didn't know how long she could shut her mouth. She needed to let it all out otherwise, she wouldn't have peace of mind.

"What's wrong, girl?" Cherry asked her in puzzlement. "Can you calm down? You keep pacing back and forth." She grabbed Hanabi's shoulders, making her sit down on the couch.

Hanabi took a deep sigh. She was still contemplating what were the things she should disclose to Cherry. "Where is Sis Jane?"

"She's with Nathan. Why?" Cherry looked at her intently, assessing Hanabi's expression.

Hanabi rubbed the space in between her eyebrows when she heard that. 'Oh Gosh! I knew it. How can I separate the two if they are always together?'

"Hana, you can tell me anything. What is bothering you right now?" Cherry urged her again to speak up.

Hanabi stared at Cherry, indecisive. "Che… I received an important mission from Uncle Hiroshi. But I don't know if I'm doing this right. I'm afraid, Sis Jane will hate me for doing this."

Cherry frowned as she became more curious. "What kind of mission?"

"I need to stop her from seeing Nathan and vice versa! Jane's father is against their relationship!" Hanabi finally shared her concern with Cherry.

"Huh? Why?" Cherry was surprised to hear that. "This is so sudden."

"Sigh. Uncle Hiroshi learned the truth about Sis Jane's identity as Phantomflake and her past conflict with Nathan. He even decided to have an arranged marriage with Tatsumi!"

"Oh my God! This is indeed a big trouble!" Cherry blurted out exasperatedly.

Hanabi nodded her head frantically. "I know right? My head is already aching from thinking about this. Uncle Hiroshi warned me not to disclose this to Sis Jane. I can't defy him!"

Cherry patted Hanabi's back to comfort her. "Don't worry, Sis. You don't have to defy Uncle Hiroshi. I can tell Sis Jane about this on your behalf." Cherry stated matter-of-factly.

Hanabi: "..."

Hanabi was stupefied for a moment, trying to digest Cherry's words. "W-What do you mean?"

Cherry flashed her wide grin and replied. "Since Uncle Hiroshi ordered you not to disclose this to Sis Jane, then you don't have to. However, since I already heard this,?I will be the one to inform our sis. Problem Solved!"

"OMG, you are a genius, Cherry!" Hanabi immediately hugged Cherry as if she just found her hero.

The two ladies burst out into a peal of laughter.

"Hmm. But I wonder how Sis Jane will react once she learns about the arranged marriage between Tatsumi and her." Cherry expressed her thoughts.

"Hmm. I am more worried about Tatsumi. He will surely be heartbroken if Sis Jane refuses this marriage." Hanabi replied, grinning from ear to ear.

Cherry: "..."

"Eh? Are you sure you are worried about him? Why are you smiling?"
