100 Days to Seduce the Devil-Chapter 271 Their Paths Crossed Again
Day Thirty…
~~*****~~
Agustav and his team were caught off guard when the backup of Syphiruz showed up. They wondered when they arrived. No one spotted them. They thought the Syphiruz only brought thirty men. Who would have thought that an advance party was sent and was hiding in that area with them?
The most shocking thing they had witnessed was that a person with a mask made a grand entrance. The real Supreme Leader made his presence known to everyone. His appearance boosted the morale of the Syphiruz. They got more excited to fight alongside their Supreme Leader.
And just like that, the Syphiruz was able to turn the table around, making the situation in their favor. The advance party secretly eliminated the snipers and gained control of the situation. Agustav and his team had no choice but to retreat before it resulted in more casualties on their sides.
"Retreat! Retreat! We already accomplished our mission of getting Jack and Spade back!" Agustav ordered his underlings.
The forces of Syphiruz couldn't be underestimated. They were skilled and talented, and most of them were sharpshooters. As the members forced the Red Dragon to retreat, Nathan alighted from the car and approached the van where Stephen, Axel, Chantha, and Violet were hiding.
"Is everything alright?" Nathan asked them worriedly.
"Supreme Leader! Axel got shot! We need to bring him to the nearest hospital!" Chantha was the first one who informed Nathan about the situation. f𝓇𝘦𝒆𝘄𝑒𝗯𝑛𝗼ѵ𝙚l.𝒄𝘰𝓶
Nathan's expression darkened when he heard that. He searched for Stephen and saw his bruises. He felt the guilt deep inside his heart. His best friend got beaten up because of him.
"Let's go now." Nathan extended his right hand, assisting Stephen as they transferred to his car. Axel was feeling weak. Chantha, Stephen, and Axel moved to Nathan's car in the backseat. Violet accompanied Nathan in the front.
"Supreme Leader, we can leave now. We will be escorting you. We got your back!" the members of the Syphiruz assembled to take cover for Nathan and others.
Nathan just bobbed his head before starting the car. They had to leave the place now. Violet and Stephen were back. But they had to rush Axel to the nearest hospital.
"Nate, why did you come here? You should have stayed in Country M." Stephen didn't know if he should feel grateful or scold his best friend. This was their enemy's territory so he thought it would be best for Nathan not to show up personally.
"I came here because you failed your mission. You promised that you would get her back but you failed." Nathan blatantly said, making Stephen guilty.
"I'm sorry…" Stephen apologized right away.
"Supreme Leader… Don't blame Dr. Zhou. He did his best. His presence here made you safe," Violet defended Stephen.
"I'm not blaming him, Violet. What I wanted to say is that… I decided to continue his mission of getting Phantomflake back." Nathan uttered nonchalantly. He was blaming no one.
Violet bit her lower lip. She was not supposed to talk back to Nathan but she did it because of Stephen.
"I'm sorry, Master. I misunderstood you." Violet apologized.
While they were busy talking, Chantha's attention was focused on Axel. She was tapping his face, reminding him to stay awake. Stephen and Chantha were still pressing his wounds.
"How is it? Did you get her?" Stephen asked his best friend expectantly. He was eager to know if Phantomflake was safe.
"Yes." Nathan simply said.
That single word was enough for Stephen to feel relieved. He was glad to hear this piece of good news. Phantomflake was back in their hands.
"She can't escape from me. I will not allow this to happen twice. No one can steal her from me," Nathan added with conviction in his voice.
"Where is she? Who is watching over her right now?" Stephen didn't hide his concern for Phantomflake. Violet could only listen to their conversation quietly.
"I left her at the nearest hospital here along with someone…" Nathan rubbed his temples as he remembered Kathleen. She was not part of the operation. She was excluded from his plan. But that woman suddenly appeared from out of nowhere.
"Wait?! Nearest hospital? There were injured men from the Red Dragon Mafia. What if they also brought them to the nearest hospital here?" Violet raised her concern as she realized this situation.
Chantha and Stephen exchanged glances with one another and bobbed their heads in agreement with Violet's last remarks.
What would they do if they happened to meet the members of the Red Dragon Mafia in the same hospital? pan(da-n0vel.c)om
Realizing this possibility, Nathan stepped on the pedal and sped off. Though he was confident that no one could take Phantomflake from that hospital, he wanted to make sure that the Red Dragon Mafia couldn't get near her.
While driving, Nathan called his two members guarding Phantomflake in the hospital.
"Bring her now to the airport. The private doctor and nurses are waiting in the private plane."
"Noted, Supreme Leader. But what are we going to do to the other woman?" The man was referring to Kathleen. fre𝙚𝓌𝒆𝚋noѵel.c𝚘m
"Just tell her to stay in the lobby. Stephen and I are coming." Nathan used Stephen to make Kathleen stay in that hospital. He couldn't let her come and watch Phantomflake.
"Got it, Boss."
When Nathan hung up, Stephen asked him about the person whom he was talking about from the other line.
"Who is the other woman?"
"Kathleen… Aiden's cousin." Nathan replied.
Stephen: "..."
'What is she doing here? Why is she with Phantomflake?'
"Aiden's fault," Nathan mumbled as if he was able to read Stephen's mind through his expression
Stephen sighed helplessly. 'I knew it! Aiden will always create trouble for both Nathan and me.'
Meanwhile, at the hospital, the two men began to move.
"Hey, where are you going? We've just arrived here. Why are you taking her out once again?" Kathleen blocked the two men.
"Our Boss' order."
"You can't leave. Where is Nathan? I have to talk to him!" Kathleen insisted on stopping them.
"He is on his way now together with Stephen. He said that you should stay here and wait for them. And as for us, we need to transfer this patient."
At the mention of Stephen's name, Kathleen's expression changed. "Stephen? They are coming here?!"
"Yes. They are. So wait for them in the Lobby."
Without saying another word, Kathleen quickly turned around, going to the hospital lobby. The two men just exchanged glances with one another. They couldn't believe that the stubborn woman finally listened to them.
She truly cared so much about Stephen. She could forget other things and would always prioritize Stephen.
Kathleen was rushing to the elevator when she suddenly bumped into someone.
"Ouch!" Kathleen complained when she hit her face on someone's sturdy body. She almost fell but the man caught her hips.
When she looked up, she met a familiar pair of eyes.
"You?" Kathleen mumbled in disbelief. "What are you doing here?"
The shock on her face was replaced by worries and concerns when she noticed Jack's appearance. He was covered with bruises and his clothes had bloodstains.
"What happened to you?" Kathleen asked him.
But instead of answering her, Jack suddenly grabbed her, pulling her closer to him. He hugged Kathleen tightly.
