The Satan CEO's Woman: He Unexpectedly Fell in Love with Her

Chapter 388 - 386: Trivial Questions

Nathan parked his car on a safe distance away from the stadium for the guards to not see him. Since he was told to not go out from his car, he obeyed it.

His men who were following him were on a safer distance, too. They were on standby just in case these people would attack him.

He heard someone knocking on his car and when he looked up to see who it was, he saw two men with long firearms standing outside. Not far from them were their service vehicle.

Nathan had no other choice but to roll down the window to talk to them.

"Excuse me, Sir. You're not allowed to park here."

Nathan was surprised to hear this. He was three hundred meters away from the stadium and so he thought it was clear.

And besides, seems like these guards did not know him as they failed to recognize who he was. Well, they looked so young to be a guard actually. Maybe they were still on training to be a mercenary.

So Nathan decided to ride the current and acted as an innocent civilian. "Oh really? May I know why?" He asked them.

"We are having an ongoing event inside the stadium and so we are told to clear out the area within the five hundred meter radius. And since you are here, you have to come to us."

These two were told to arrest any suspicious people inside the five hundred meter radius around the stadium.

And Nathan happened to be just on the boundary.

"Oh. I'm sorry everyone but I didn't know. Actually, I am waiting for a friend who told me to meet around this area but suddenly my car navigation messed up and so I decided to pull over to call him."

The two guards looked at each other. They were undecided whether they would believe his alibi. After all, they had observed him for five minutes in that area. And for them, it's already suspicious.

"Sir. Can we invite you inside for questioning?"

"Me? May I know why? Actually, before you approached me, I'm about to leave."

But since this guards were really determined to take him in, he had no other choice but to come with them. After all, he thought waiting outside was boring compared to checking out what was happening inside.

"Okay. Lead the way."

Showing no resistance to them, they had decided to not chain his hands but they hooked his car on to their service vehicle to make sure he won't attempt to escape.

They really didn't know his identity which was a little surprising, yeah?

When he saw the car in front of him had pulled over, he followed and pulled over behind them, too.

He really thought that no one could recognize him. However, one of the guards on the entrance did recognize him but chose to be unwelcoming to him.

"Mr. Bai. What are you doing here?" He did address him like the others who knew Nathan as well did.

"Do you know him, Senior?" They asked him in surprise.

"Idiots! Of course I know him. And you should know him, too. He's someone whose face should be remembered."

The way he described Nathan was like describing the target of a bounty mission.

"I'm glad someone finally knew me. Well, I'm here for President Williams. I want to talk to him and so I went to his office but I had forgotten that today was actually the annual conference that you mercenaries hold every year."

"That's right. But strictly, only those who have the invitation can come."

"No problem." Nathan then inserted his hand on the inside of his coat and then tossed it to the guard.

"I have it. Now, can I enter?"

Since he have the invitation, the guard had no other choice but to let him in.

But before he went in, the guard called him out, "Wait! Mr. Bai, where are your guards?"

For someone so important as him, he would not just come to this place without any guards around him, right?

"Oh! I was told not to bring my guards with me in coming here. And besides, President Williams and I had signed an agreement to cancel any assassination quest against me, right?"

This agreement also covered Eunji, Anastasia and Mr. Alinksy, too.

It should be safe for him to come and go in any of their premises given that President McWilliams had agreed and even signed it with the presence of his trusted mercenaries.

However, he could feel that President Williams would not stood up on his words and would break it. After all, he was unwilling to sign it. Nathan forced him to it.

So, it's better to be safe than sorry, right?

The senior guard finally let him go but he was accompanied by two guards who brought him inside this room instead of bringing him to the grandstand.

"Since the contest is now ongoing. No one is allowed to enter the grandstand until it's over." One of them explained.

"And you're not allowed to wander around, too. This is for your safety, Mr. Bai." The other one continued.

Nathan stayed silent because he had other plans in mind.

When they left him alone in the room, Nathan sat on the chair and looked around the room. Nathan's thoughts wandered about Eunji and her state at the moment. He was really worried that she'll get hurt. After all, he found out that Eunji escaped from the hospital a day after she woke up.

He heard from Mo Jing-sheng that Eunji was advised to stay for a couple of days more but she insisted on not going back. He understood this behavior of her because she hated hospitals. And only him could calm her.

But then he wasn't there to accompany her and so he thought that it was the reason why she decided to stay back at their apartment for her recovery.

And now, she received an information from Alora that she's attending this.

"Appa. I'm sure that Eomma will eventually know that you're here. Are you going to run away again?" Alora sounded on his in-ear monitor.

Nathan was silent as he didn't know how to answer that.

All these days, he had been watching over her on the shadows but never approached her. If they'd meet now, this would be the first time that they'd be seeing each other face to face after he left her.

Though he was the one who brought her to the Mo Hospital that night and didn't left until she regained back her consciousness, he had asked everyone to not tell her that it was him. That he was there. Instead, he asked Sam and Lee Yunha to take the credits for saving her.

He knew he had hurt her so badly when he left without a proper explanation. He was not done with his self task yet. And so unless it's done, he would still be leaving her. And who knows if he'd be able to come back after that.

He didn't want her to be worried to him. He was hoping that Eunji would have the patience to wait for him. And when that time finally came, he'd immediately apologize to her and ask for forgiveness. And hopefully if he'd ask for her hand again, she'd say 'YES'.

He came here for two reasons. He knew that Eunji would also be attending since she's one of the top ranked mercenaries across the globe.

The second one was on Mr. Alinsky's request of his attendance. He gave him a secret task which he had to do.

He really wanted to approach her and to hug her but he was stopping himself. At least not yet.

When President Williams heard that they had detained Nathan with almost no efforts, he immediately smiled and laughed while talking to his men over the phone.

Eunji on the other hand didn't feel good about it. 'Is he here?' Eunji asked herself. She was both excited and at the same time anxious to see him again.

Oblivious to her thoughts, President Williams then immediately instructed his guards to watch over him and to never let him leave the room.

Then he looked around the ten people behind him.

"If one of you could kill Nathaniel Bai, Mr. Alinsky and that woman Anastasia, name your price and I'll give it to you."

"Really, President? Anything?" The person sitting on the third rank asked him.

"Yes. Anything!"

"What if I'm going to ask you your position, are you willing to give it?" Eunji who was sitting on her seat asked him.

President Williams was caught speechless by her question.

"Right? What about that, President?" The first ranked mercenary asked him, too.

"No! Anything aside from that. In order to be President, and election should happen."

"Okay. What about in exchange of your life?" She asked him again.

Everyone looked at her with curious gazes. After all, she's so clever to ask those questions from him.

"Well, Demi. Do you have any issues with me?"

Of course she had issues with him. He after all he wanted to kill the two people she deeply cared.

"With you? Not at all." She told him with her innocent disguise.

"But why do I feel the opposites of it?"

"Tell me President. Have you done anything behind my back that might anger me? My questions were purely 'what ifs'. After all, we really don't know if none of us in the room wanted your position as the President."

Eunji raised her argument so President Williams would become paranoid. Eunji knew what his weakness was. And that was his love for his current position. And he's willing to do anything to keep himself on power.

And she inwardly smirked when she saw his change of behavior almost instantly.

'Got you!' Eunji said to herself.

But then her thoughts drifted to Nathan. If these nine people would really want to take this bounty quest, then he was in deep danger. She was deeply worried.

She had to warn him.

"You can ask any monetary amount! Yes! Any monetary amount will do!"

Eunji then raised a brow and asked him, "What if I want your entire wealth President Williams?"

"--_--" Everyone were rendered speechless when they heard this.

"That's nonsense!"

"President, if you want me to stop raising this nonsense type of questions. I think it's best that you set a certain amount. After all, no one would want to desire anything less. Your position, your life, and your wealth. Those are the important things for you. And it'll be understandable if one of us would want to take those from you."

Eunji then got up from her seat and tapped the imaginary crease on her clothes.

"Anyways. Just to make things clear to everyone, I have no intentions to participate on it. Now, if you'll excuse me. I still have to check on the next game."

When she finally went out of the room, Eunji immediately summoned Alora.

"Alora, do you know where they had detained your Appa?"

"Yes, Eomma!"

"Good! Now, lead me to him."

"But Eomma. I think we have a problem. Appa's room is heavily guarded."

"Do you think that I care? I just want to see him. I miss him so much! Now bring me to him or you'll be grounded for a month."
