Chapter 711 Capturing Veronica

Day Seventy-Six…

~~*****~~

[ At Country R… ]

Axel and Tatsumi had been working together for the past few days in order to track Veronica's location. They used their influence and connection in Country R to find her and at the same time, they maintained a low profile, avoiding the King Stallion Mafia's Radar. Country R was King Stallion Mafia's main turf so they had to be cautious with their actions.

"Hey Buddy, what did your Boss tell you? What is your plan if you catch Veronica first?" Tatsumi asked Axel as they continued their surveillance in the town center where Veronica was last seen by their informants. They were drinking coffee in a cafe.

Axel rubbed his chin, recalling Nathan's command. "Hmm. Nothing in particular. He just told me to bring her back to Country M. How about you? What are you going to do? What did Phantomflake ask you to do?"

"My lady told me to deal with her properly. But an easy death is not an option. I have an idea. Do you want to join hands with me and implement my great plan?" Tatsumi nudged Axel's shoulders, grinning from ear to ear.

Axel looked at him in amusement. "Let me hear it first so that I can decide."

Tatsumi leaned closer to Axel and whispered what his great plan was. Axel could only bob his head in agreement before giving him a high five.

The two men patiently waited for Veronica to show up. According to their sources, the Cafe Onse was her favorite hang-out place in the afternoon. She might be living in this area, near the Cafe Onse.

Ring! Ring!

"Oh Damn! My old man is calling me!" Tatsumi gasped in surprise upon seeing his father's name. He was about to ignore the phone call when he received a message from his messenger. It turned out his father already anticipated that he would try to ignore the call.

[ Answer your phone or else you will regret it in your entire life! ] - Fr. Terror Dad

Tatsumi's eyes widened, sensing the urgency of his father's threat. Without further ado, he excused himself for a moment to answer the call.

"Keep your eyes open, Axel. I'm just going to talk to my terror old man!"

Axel just let out a soft chuckle as he watched Tatsumi stepping out of the Cafe. He looked for a quiet place for a phone call conversation.

"Dad! What's wrong? Is there an emergency again? I told you I'm here in Country R because of my lady's order." Tatsumi spoke spontaneously without waiting for his father to speak up from the other line.

"You naughty child! Don't blame me if our Master changes his mind about marrying you off to Lady Jane. Go back here now! He is going to announce your engagement to the whole clan!"

"Eh? Dad? What did you just say? I'm marrying Lady Jane? For real?!" Tatsumi was shocked beyond belief.

"Dad, don't prank me! Is it true? Godfather wants me to marry my lady?" he asked Kazuki once more for affirmation. "Dad. I promise. I'll beat you up if you dare lie to me, giving me false hope!" He added, afraid that his father was using this as an alibi to make him return to Country M.

Meanwhile, Kazuki rolled his eyes skyward. His son was overreacting and filled with distrust. He wouldn't dare make a joke like this. "I'm serious, Tatsumi! If you can't return to Country R by tomorrow, then I will arrange your flight directly to Country J. Just go straight there and wait for us!" Kazuki instructed his son about what he should do. "Take note. This is urgent. Make a move before ?lan Leader changes his mind." He warned him over and over again.

"Understood, Boss! I'm going to finish my mission today and fly back to Country J! This is a matter of life and death for me!" For the first time, Tatsumi obediently listened and followed his father's instructions.

"Alright. Take care, son."

The father and son ended their conversation briefly. Tatsumi hurriedly returned to their position. He approached Axel and said dramatically, "Axel! We must catch Veronica today. My future depends on this mission! I can't face my future wife without accomplishing this!"

Axel raised his eyebrow when he heard that. "Future wife?"

"Yes! My one and only Lady Jane!" Tatsumi proudly said.

Axel didn't know how he would react when Jane's name was mentioned. 'Eh, he doesn't know about Jane and Nathan? There is no way Miss Jane will marry him.'

"Hey, stop looking at me like that. We should scan the area and search for Veronica!" Tatsumi grabbed his hand and pulled Axel up from his seat.

They were about to leave their table when Veronica finally showed up. She stepped inside the Cafe, not noticing Axel and Tatsumi's presence. The two were both wearing a cap and a mask.

"Bingo! The bitch shows up!" Tatsumi almost jumped in joy.

"Shhhh. Keep your cool! She might notice us." Axel immediately pressed his hand against Tatsumi's mouth.

Tatsumi gave him an apologetic look and a peace sign. "Okay. I'll behave now." Tatsumi mumbled when Axel removed his hand.

"Great! Let's stick to the shadows and follow her movement without raising any suspicion. Let's separate. I'll walk out first." Axel suggested, putting his earpiece.

Tatsumi just bobbed his head, his eyes still fixed on Veronica's figure. She was done buying her coffee. Fortunately, she didn't stay in the Cafe for so long. When she left, Tatsumi and Axel tailed her cautiously.

A few minutes later, Veronica stopped in a two-story building. It served as her apartment and at the same time, her private laboratory. She was doing her experiment there as she worked on Vincent's Bio-weapon Project. She only visited the main facility during weekends. She preferred to work at home.

"This is our chance! It seems that no one is guarding her. After surveying the area, I can only see CCTV cameras in the vicinity." Tatsumi informed Axel through their communication device.

"Alright, I'll go first. You stay on lookout," Axel volunteered to lead the way in sneaking. Plus, Tatsumi was still in the process of recovering from his gunshot injury.

"Okay, Buddy! Be careful. She might inject you with some poisons." Tatsumi reminded him.

Axel nodded as he cautiously approached the backyard gate of Veronica's apartment in this broad daylight of bustling afternoon.

As he reached the gate, Axel's gaze flickered to the security cameras positioned overhead. With a swift motion, he pulled a small device from his pocket and expertly manipulated it, causing a momentary disruption in the cameras' feeds, rendering them temporarily ineffective.

'Thanks to SYP Twilight Corp Technology,' Axel thought to himself as he disabled the CCTV camera temporarily using the device made by Nathan's company.

He moved and expertly climbed the gate, infiltrating Veronica's apartment while evading the watchful eyes of the people passing by on the street.

Tatsumi gave him a thumbs-up when he successfully entered Veronica's backyard. Soon, Axel reached for the doorknob, unlocking it carefully. He swiftly slipped through the door. Once in, he moved stealthily along the corridor, his senses on high alert.

Axel moved with calculated speed, his movements silent and purposeful. It did not take long before he located Veronica in her kitchen, completely unaware of his presence. Taking advantage of the situation, he swiftly apprehended her by grabbing her from behind and covering her mouth and nose with a cloth soaked in a sleeping agent.

"Tatsumi. Mission Accomplished!" He informed Tatsumi when Veronica fell unconscious in his arms.
