100 Days to Seduce the Devil

~~*****~~

To gain King Stallion Mafia\'s trust, Joker divulged information about the security system of Syphiruz\'s Medical Facility. It looked like they planned on infiltrating the facility. Was it because of Phantomflake or the truth serum they invented?

\'I need to contact Supreme Leader asap,\' Joker thought to himself. 

He could feel that members of the King Stallion Mafia didn\'t trust him yet. He could see a hint of distrust in Phoenix\'s eyes when he gazed at him. He was probably under observation. 

"The King recruited me not because he trusts me, but because he wants to use me against the Syphiruz," Joker murmured to himself.

He looked at his surroundings. He wondered if there was a hidden camera inside his ward. Joker took a deep sigh. Fortunately, Nathan gave him a device wherein he could send a message to him without getting caught by the members of King Stallion.

It was a small communication device installed on his watch. \'It\'s hard to talk if there are guards watching me. Ahuh! I\'m glad I recorded our conversation. I will just send this to Supreme Leader.\' Joker smiled inwardly.

He grabbed his watch that was placed on the table. Fortunately, Phoenix didn\'t confiscate his watch. It was an old watch so they didn\'t suspect anything. Joker just pressed something and the recorded conversation was sent to Nathan\'s phone.

Meanwhile, Nathan was still in the Syphiruz Headquarters together with Aiden and Axel. Axel and Nathan were discussing their strategy while Aiden listened to them. He was amazed whenever he heard about some operations related to Syphiruz. How wondered how powerful this mafia group was as compared to others.

"Supreme Leader, Are we going to give away some of our operations just to convince the King Stallion Mafia that Joker already changed sides? How about our members? Their safety will be compromised." Axel expressed his concern.

"Don\'t worry. I will not let them die. We will use our prisoners to work for us. Furthermore, we don\'t know what the King Stallion Mafia wants from us. Let\'s wait. If they will start a war, we will retaliate and fight them." Nathan reassured Axel.

"They are already here in Country M. For what reason?" Aiden butted in.

"I\'ll look into it," Axel volunteered.

"No. Don\'t do anything reckless. Just let Joker do his job. Just focus on other things, Axel," Nathan assumed that King Stallion Mafia was powerful just like Syphiruz Mafia.

"What are you going to do with Doc Veronica and Marco? We already know their hideouts." Axel consulted Nathan again.

"Just send someone to monitor their every move. We can\'t touch them now, or else, Joker\'s mission will be compromised. They might suspect him if we barge into their territory." Nathan was very cautious with his moves. He wanted to ensure that King Stallion Mafia would never know that he was after them.

They were still talking when Nathan\'s phone beeped. It was the message coming from Joker. Nathan glanced at Axel and Aiden before checking Joker\'s message. It was a voice recording.

"What is it?" Aiden asked him, his eyes beaming with curiosity.

Axel also stared at him expectantly.

Nathan pressed the play button as they listened to the conversation. A few minutes later, Aiden gasped in surprise. 

"OMG! King Stallion Mafia is after Phantomflake as well! How many organizations has she offended?" Aiden reacted exasperatedly.

Axel just stayed silent when he noticed Nathan\'s grim expression. For some unknown reason, Nathan was emanating a chilly aura. \'Is our Supreme Leader mad? But why?\'

Nathan knew that King Stallion was somehow connected to Jane. He even suspected that the leader might be the father of Jane\'s child.

\'The King is looking for Jane. Why?\' Nathan was put in deep thought. 

There was a moment of silence. Aiden shut his mouth because Nathan was very quiet. Aiden tapped Axel\'s shoulder, urging him to say something.

"Sir. What are we going to do? They asked Joker about the security system of our Medical Facility. They are planning to infiltrate our facility." Axel spoke up again, breaking the silence.

"We have to move our important equipment and serums. Let them infiltrate our medical facility. I want to catch the mouse." Nathan wanted to know why King Stallion was looking for Jane. Were they going to hurt her?

\'I think letting her stay in Zhou\'s hospital is a good choice. In the meantime, I can\'t move her back to the facility.\' 

With those thoughts in mind, Nathan decided to transform one of their secret hideouts and become their new medical facility.

"Axel, please facilitate this. We will transfer some of our items but we will do it discreetly. Our facility might be under their surveillance already. And one more thing…" Nathan paused for a moment. He typed a message for Stephen, telling him to admit Jane to their hospital.

"Send our elite men to Zhou\'s Hospital. Tell them to protect Phabtomflake. Don\'t let outsiders enter her private ward." Nathan emphasized his last words.

Aiden and Axel were surprised. They didn\'t expect Nathan to be so protective of Jane aka Phantomflake.

"Yey! You finally listen to me!" Axel blurted out cheerfully. At least, Nathan started to care about Jane\'s safety. He even asked Axel to dispatch their elite men who would protect her.

Nathan chose to ignore Aiden\'s words. "You should go back to your office now, Aiden Wu. You don\'t have business here anymore."

Aiden pouted his lips. "Ahuh! Since you are done with my company, you are ditching me."

Nathan just rubbed his temples. "I have so many things to do. I don\'t need a spectator now. Go back to your world, Aiden. This is not a playground for you. Okay?"

"Fine. I\'m leaving." Aiden stomped his feet as he stepped out of Nathan\'s office. But seconds later, he went back.

"Ahem, Nate. I don\'t have a car. Remember?" Aiden smiled sheepishly.

Nathan just sighed helplessly before turning to Axel. "Axel, can you please drop him to his office?"

"Okay, Sir!" Axel motioned for Aiden to follow him as they said goodbye to Nathan.

When Nathan was finally alone in his office, he leaned his back on his chair and closed his eyes. He felt uneasy because another mafia group was after Jane. He couldn\'t figure out their motives.

"Why? Why do you want to know Jane\'s whereabouts? Are you going to rekindle your relationship with her… and reunite with her?" Nathan mumbled, thinking about the leader of the King Stallion.

[ At Marco\'s Hideout… ]

An unexpected visitor arrived. Veronica was displeased to see her.

"What are you doing here?" Veronica frowned as she was welcomed by Helena\'s charming smile. She was standing on the doorstep. Helena\'s presence alone was enough to piss her off.

"Hello, Sis!" Helena provoked her further as she called her \'Sis\'.

"I\'m not your sister. Don\'t call me that." 

Helena was greeted by Veronica\'s unwelcoming aura. But Helena maintained her cheerful mood. She even giggled at her last remarks.

"I\'m close to Monica, your sister. I heard a lot of things about you."

Veronica\'s eyes widened when Monica\'s name was mentioned.

"Do you know my sister?" Veronica asked her with disbelief.

Helena let out another soft giggle. "Invite me in first. Let\'s talk about her inside."

Eager to hear her story, Veronica stepped to the side, letting Helena in. Marco was sleeping in his bedroom so they could talk without worrying about Marco overhearing their conversation.

When the two ladies settled down, Veronica assessed Helena. No wonder she could see Monica in her. So this woman knew her sister and they were even close.

\'Is she related to King Stallion Mafia? How did she know that I was here? And what is the reason she dropped by?\' Veronica mused to herself.

"Will you not offer me some coffee or drinks?" Helena asked her with a teasing smile on her face.

"I\'m new here. We don\'t have any supplies," Veronica coldly responded. "Now talk! How did you know my sister?"

"Have you forgotten? Your sister studied in Country R. My family is from there. We went to the same school. We are friends… best friends!" 

Veronica eyed her suspiciously. "Then why didn\'t you mention it the first time we met?"

"Because you are angry and jealous of me. I know you liked Nathan Sparks a lot. But don\'t worry, there will be no more engagement between us. Now, can we become friends now?" Helena enjoyed messing and playing with Veronica. This woman was truly clueless about Monica.

\'Friends my ass! I don\'t want to. I hate your arrogance,\' Veronica thought to herself.

"Are you related to the person who brought us into this house?" Veronica simply asked her, wondering if Helena would admit that she was connected to King Stallion Mafia.

"Yes, I am. So you have to thank me as well for saving you and getting you out of the Syphiruz Mafia\'s headquarters."

Veronica was stunned when she heard that. \'Does she also know that Nathan is the leader of the Syphiruz Mafia? Damn! Who is she?!\'
