Chapter 92 A Glimpse Of Nathan's Past
Day Seven…
~~*****~~
Old Man Xu couldn't believe that someone was using his son's hacker ID. Was it just a coincidence that they had the same username?
"How did you know that it was Nathan's username? As far as I know, my son already deleted his hacker account." Old Man Xu asked them.
"Former Master Nathan didn't delete his account, Chairman Xu. We are familiar with this username as this was his signature which he used after creating us." GingerAllieAnne explained to Old Man Xu.
Old Man Xu was taken aback when he heard that. He thought Nathan deleted his account thirteen years ago. But it seemed like he was still using it from time to time.
Was it because of Monica? Did his son want to reminisce about their pasts together? Old Man Xu heard that the relationship between Monica and Nathan started as virtual chatmates.
When Nathan was still studying in college, being a hacker was his pastime. He was only sixteen at that time. If he was correct, Monica was in her early teens as well– 13 years old. They had been friends for more than a year before they lost communications.
Eight years later, the two were reunited through a chance encounter with Veronica, Monica's elder sister. And that was the start of their blooming love. They dated for several months. Then they got into a one-night stand, causing Monica to disappear. They got separated and lost communication once again for almost three years.
When she returned to Nathan's life, she already had a two-year-old son whom she introduced as Nathan's son. It was Ethan.
Nathan didn't doubt Monica's words when she said that Ethan was her son. But to be sure, Old Man Xu was the one who urged them to conduct a paternity test. And viola! Their DNA matched 99.9999%.
Nathan had forgiven her for running away. It turned out, Monica got scared when she found out from her sister, Veronica, that Nathan was a leader of a mafia organization.
The two were already planning to get married but another tragedy happened, breaking the two apart. Monica was assassinated by Phantomflake in front of Nathan on the night he was going to propose to her.
That was when the deep-rooted enmity between Nathan and Phantomflake had started. Nathan resented Phantomflake for what she had done, taking away his beloved woman. A deep grudge forced Nathan to become the ruthless devil who annihilated the entire guild of assassins. And the rest was history.
But everyone knew that Nathan's grudge couldn't be settled as long as Phantomflake would remain in her coma state, or worse, she might die without Nathan getting his revenge.
"Grandpa? Grandpa?" Ethan's voice snapped Old Man Xu out of his deep thought. His mind wandered off somewhere as he recalled the past, that's why Grandpa Xu hadn't heard Ethan right away.
Ethan had to call his attention many times as he tugged his grandpa's sleeve.
"I'm sorry, grandson. What were you saying?" Old Man Xu asked Ethan to repeat his words. He was not paying attention to him a while ago.
"Grandpa, I said that Dad allowed me to use his account last time. This username exists. Just like GingerAllieAnne is saying, Dad didn't delete his account."
Old Man Xu could only bob his head. He understood now. But the real question was… who the hell was the hacker pretending to be SizzlingAugust08 as well?
"Grandson," Old Man Xu held his grandson's shoulder. "Didn't you tell anyone about your father's account? You haven't disclosed it to anyone, have you?"
Feeling a little bit confused, Ethan shook his head frantically, eyeing his grandpa with his innocent eyes. "I didn't," he softly responded, raising his right hand as if he was making a promise.
Old Man Xu heaved a deep sigh. "Alright. Let's forget about this. I will just discuss this with your father once he comes back."
"Let's go downstairs now, grandson." Old Man Xu extended his right hand to Ethan. The boy smiled before clinging to his grandfather's hand.
Old Man Xu didn't want to dwell on this, otherwise, he would have a headache. Letting Nathan deal with this and sort this thing out was the best choice.
Besides, the Syphiruz Mafia already belonged to Nathan. He didn't want to get stressed by the organization's concern. Nathan could already handle it by himself.
*****
Meanwhile, Nathan already left the Syphiruz Headquarters. He was done giving them the instruction. The game plan for tomorrow's masquerade ball was already set. As much as possible, Syphiruz and Red Dragon shouldn't stand out or catch anyone's attention during the party.
The invitation had been given to both parties. The two groups would disguise themselves as ordinary guests. Through this, Red Dragon and Syphiruz would get attention from the underground world. This was a secret meeting between the two powerful mafia organizations.
Nathan wasn't certain if the Dragon Lord would also attend the Masquerade Ball personally. But as for Nathan, he would go there for two reasons: First, to monitor the discussion between his mafia and the opposing faction secretly. Second, he would fulfill Abigail's request.
And now, he was on his way to meet Aiden to relay his decision to him and at the same time, he needed to talk to him about the woman whom the Red Dragon Mafia was chasing after last night.
Axel drove him to Aiden's Private Villa. Aiden was already expecting Nathan to arrive. They had a short talk a while ago before Nathan left the headquarters.
Twenty minutes later, Nathan's car arrived at the entrance gate of Aiden's Villa. The security recognized Nathan so the gate automatically opened up for them to enter.
Nathan raised his eyebrow when he stepped out of the car. Surprisingly, no Aiden appeared at the front door to welcome him. Whenever he would visit his villa, Aiden would be the first one to greet him, pulling him inside the house.
"Boss, Ahem… I think Master Aiden is busy entertaining a beautiful maiden." Axel mumbled with a teasing smile on his face. He also noticed that Aiden didn't come out to welcome them personally.
