Release That Succubus

Chapter 115 115 During The Wedding IX

It hadn't been long since Bruce and his family had regained their lost status in the city and all this had happened because of Zach. Bruce didn't' want Zach to leave because they might have to go back to living their previous lives if Zach decided to abandon them.

When Bruce didn't have anything else to retort with, Zach decided to ask the question which was the reason that Zach had come seeking Bruce right after the meeting.

"Will you come with me if I ask you to? Of course, I am talking about the whole Luther family. Will the Luther family be willing to follow me out of the city?"

Bruce was stunned since he had never even considered this possibility. Ever since he had opened his eyes, he had been a resident of the Elizabeth city and now that he had become considerably influential in the city, Zach had asked him to leave with him all of the sudden.

Bruce couldn't tell Zach that he didn't want to leave this newfound sense of power and superiority he felt every time some family leader tried to flatter him. Instead he thought of the repercussions this decision of Zach would bring on the Luther family.

Among the two choices available to him, one involved leaving the city which would cause him the loss of this new business network he had established through various contracts and business deals with the families. On the other hand, if Zach moved away on his own, there was no guarantee that Bruce would be able to maintain the same lifestyle anymore. The fact that everything he had currently was due to Zach and his ideas made Bruce feel slightly empty but that didn't stop him from reaching the conclusion that the Luther family needed to follow Zach if they wanted to flourish in the future.

"The Luther family will follow you till the end." Bruce's determination touched Zach but he wasn't going to say anything out loud.

Smirking at Bruce, Zach said, "No need to be that serious. We are only moving, not going to war."

Zach immediately fished out a communication transceiver that he had unlocked sometime back. It allowed him to make use of the satellites of the world to contact anyone else just like a mobile phone but without being hampered by the lack of mobile signals.

"Where are you at the moment?" Zach asked as if he was in a hurry. At the same time he moved towards a more discreet corner of the room where not a single soul could overhear a word he was saying.

The one he had reached out to was none other than Diana who had refused to attend the wedding ceremony of the person she loved. Diana could not overcome her unhappiness no matter how hard she tried to be happy for Zach. She had wanted to be his first wife and now due to her procrastination, someone else had taken the lead. Therefore she had been hanging out at the shooting range trying to take out her frustrations at the trainees and the shooting targets. She had already shot several magazines worth of ammo corresponding to various weapons lined up on the table in front of her. The poor targets in front of her all had giant holes in the area that made up the bulls' eye. Her precise shooting capability could be judged from the fact that despite the anger clouding her nerves, there wasn't a single bullet that had hit outside the smallest circle on the target.

Her satellite phone had rung while she was busy shooting with her pistol; the same one that Zach had gifted to her in the past. She took off her noise cancelling headphones and put the gun down on the table after taking out the magazine.

The moment she picked up the communication device she had received from Zach, she was bombarded with Zach's question as if his tail had been set on fire by someone else.

"I am at the shooting range. I would have felt stuffy at the wedding ceremony. I don't like such events." Diana thought that Zach was angry with her for not attending his wedding ceremony which was why she tried to give out several explanations in a row that might be believable and would allow her to keep the real reason to herself.

"I don't care about that. Listen to me carefully."

Diana was dumbstruck with sadness at his words. She felt that Zach had been too straight forward. Even though he didn't care, she did. She had been holding in her love for him but Zach told her that he didn't even care whether she was with him on his special occasion or not. He was practically dousing her hopes with cold water.

But before Diana could give voice to her objections, Zach began to talk again. He had assumed Diana's silence to be a go-ahead to continue with what he was about to tell her.

Zach narrated the whole incident that had taken place in the Luther family mansion moments ago in as concise a manner as possible so that Diana would be able to understand the grave nature of the task he was about to assign her without wasting any of the precious time that he could use to complete several other tasks that still needed to be taken care of.

"I get it now. What do you want me to do then?" Diana soon forgot about the useless things she had filled her head with earlier and changed into her Special Forces soldier mode. If Zach could have seen her at this moment, he would have been quite satisfied. She looked completely like those devoted soldiers from the movies asking for their superior officer's orders.

"First of all, I want you to order everyone in the Luther family to pack their belongings and be ready to leave the city at an hour's notice. Secondly, I want you to gather all the technicians and tell them to check all the trucks for any abnormalities since the trucks might be needed for long distance travel. At most within five hours, I want all the Luther family to leave the city using the same trucks in the form of a scattered convoy that would converge after exiting the city so as to not alert anyone who might be monitoring the Luther family. I am sure that the Prince's men would be doing exactly that."

Diana committed these instructions to memory as she asked Zach, "Is that all?" as she moved her mouth closer to the satellite phone.

"No, that's not all. There is one other thing. After arranging everything, you are going to lead a team of twenty of the most capable Special Forces members to the mansion where my wedding ceremony is taking place. Your target is to extract me, your brother and Luna escape safely so that we can join the exodus of the Luther family as well. Make sure that your operation is as discreet as possible since there will be eyes everywhere in the mansion. Use force where necessary but avoid hurting innocents."

"I understand; I will be there soon after I take care of all the things. You can leave everything to me without any worry. I will be sure to carry out those orders as effectively as possible." Diana was determined to show her worth to Zach so that he would look her way as well instead of giving all his time to Luna and his new bride.

As soon as the call cut off, Diana put down the satellite phone on the table since it was troublesome to carry it around due to its size. She picked up her pistol and holstered it after shifting the magazine in the magazine slot once again.

She rang a bell by the side of the shooting range that Zach often used to get the attention of every one of the trainees in the field who were busy practicing their individual weak points or their team synchronization.

Before long all the trainees left whatever they were doing and ran towards Diana with the fastest speed they could muster. They had been called to assemble by their superior so they had to fulfill the order to the best of their capabilities.

"Listen up carefully, from this moment onwards none of you is a trainee any longer. Training is over. It is time for you all to put everything you have learned into practice. We have orders from above to carry out an extraction mission. But unlike before it is not going to be a simulation or a practice. This is a going to be a real test of your abilities but only twenty people amongst you will be going with me this time." Diana took out a piece of paper from her pocket on which she had written the names of the people who would take part in the extraction mission assigned to her.

"I will call out the names of those who will be coming with me. As soon as I call out your name, step out to the side and make a separate group." Diana then began calling the names out loud with a solemn look on her face and the men began to fall out with every name she called.

At the end, there were twenty of the people with the best skills standing in front of her while the others were wondering why their names had not been called. They wanted to take part as well since all of them had been training for these kinds of moments.
