BXBX NOVEL Chapter 190 Defeated
[ At Red Dragon Mafia\'s Headquarters… ]
The Red Dragons were busy preparing for the face-to-face meet-up with the Sawada Clan tomorrow. The two factions decided to hold their negotiation in EDSJ Five Star Hotel.
The Dragon Lord would come personally to meet the Sawada Clan Leader, Hiroshi. This was a great opportunity for them. Forming an alliance with Sawada Clan would be advantageous, especially now that the Dragon Lord was planning to bring down the Syphiruz Mafia.
"How are they? Did they arrive safely?" The Dragon Lord was currently sitting on his chair, facing his subordinates, Spade and Agustav.
"Yes, our lord. I monitored their convoy from the airport going to EDSJ Five Star Hotel. Upon hacking several CCTVs installed on the street of Towerville City, I spotted Mr. Hiroshi. He is here." Spade informed the Dragon Lord.
The Dragon Lord smiled triumphantly. He felt like he already got the upper hand since he made the Leader of Sawada Clan come personally to meet him. He heard that Syphiruz Mafia failed several times and Mr. Hiroshi kept rejecting their invitation.
"Agustav, form a special team. A group which is composed of fifteen people. Only choose our elite and capable members who are good at finding a missing person." Dragon Lord instructed his Branch Leader, Agustav.
"Yes, my Lord, consider it done." Agustav promptly responded. He had already chosen those members. His eyes were gleaming with excitement about the future collaboration with Sawada Clan.
"Spade, you will help them using your computer skills in searching for the person whom the Sawada Clan wants to find."
"Just leave it to me. Boss…" Spade spoke enthusiastically. "I am also trying to find Phantomflake… and with the help of our spy… I confirmed that she is indeed alive. She is being held captive in one of Syphiruz\'s medical facilities!"
Dragon Lord and Agustav were both stunned upon hearing the news from Spade. All these years, they thought that the famous assassin, Phantomflake, died during the attack of the Syphiruz Mafia, annihilating the whole assassin guild!
"Black Rose and Phantomflake… we both need them. They will be additional assets to our organization. A great weapon against the Syphiruz..."
"Furthermore… If we become allies of the Sawada Clan, then it will not take long before we can defeat the Syphiruz Mafia. I can\'t wait to see them surrendering to us while begging for our mercy. It will be a beautiful sight to see." The Dragon Lord spoke with his dreamy eyes.
Agustav and Spade could only nod their heads. It would be satisfying to see the Syphiruz Mafia crumble in their hands and before their eyes. A great achievement for the Red Dragon Mafia!
"Dragon Lord, what are you planning to do with Phantomflake?" Agustav asked him with utmost curiosity in his eyes.
"An enemy\'s enemy is our friend… so I will give you another command to form another team that will rescue Phantomflake. We have to get her out of the Syphiruz Headquarters. Her skills are very useful to us."
"I will summon Jack. I will assign this task to him." The Dragon Lord added. Targeting Nathan Sparks was no longer his priority. He would hold Jake\'s mission for now. He had to find and rescue Phantomflake first!
"Got it, our Lord!" Agustav politely said.
The Dragon Lord averted his gaze back to Spade. "Syphiruz owned several medical facilities. Find out which facility they were hiding Phantomflake."
"I\'m already working on it, Boss!" Spade liked to call him Boss, instead of Dragon Lord. Dragon Lord didn\'t mind it at all and besides, he was used to hearing him as he called him Boss.
"Good. Tell Jack to prioritize this mission." The Dragon Lord waved his hand to dismiss them. Spade and Agustav didn\'t stay long inside his office. When the two left, the Dragon Lord was put in deep thought.
\'Phantomflake… once I rescue you and use you against the Syphiruz… I will be the one to eliminate you. I will kill you.\' The Dragon Lord thought to himself, clenching his fists. Complicated emotions could be seen in his eyes.
Meanwhile, the person whom they were looking for was currently playing video games inside their VIP suite. Even though they could find her body, Phantomflake\'s soul was still in Abigail\'s body.
Abigail kept looking at the door since Nathan hadn\'t returned yet. She had the urge to follow him. When she could no longer take it, Abigail stood up to leave the room. However, before she could make another step, the door was pushed open and Nathan emerged from it.
"Nate!" Abigail almost ran in his direction. She was glad that Nathan was back. She felt so bored playing with AIs.
Nathan traced his steps towards her. "I\'m gonna take a quick bath first." Nathan concealed his smile as he could tell that Abigail was so eager to have a duel with him by just looking at her expression.
Abigail just bobbed her head before returning to her seat. She played one more round against the AIs as she waited for Nathan to finish showering.
Fifteen minutes later, Nathan joined her. He was looking so fresh in his pajamas. That was the only time Abigail had realized that Nathan and she would be sharing one room tonight.
\'Damn! How are we going to sleep? Don\'t tell me we will be using one bed?\' Abigail wondered to herself, her eyes darting her gaze back and forth between Nathan and the bed.
As if Nathan had read her mind, he said, "The loser will be going to sleep on the sofa and the winner will take the bed."
Abigail just blinked her eyes as she processed his words. \'Damn! I thought he was a gentleman a while ago. Now, I take my words back. Just you wait, Nathan Sparks! I\'m going to defeat you!\'
"Fine! Bring it on!" Abigail confidently said, challenging Nathan. He smirked at her before turning his computer on. Both of them had separate devices to use during the duel.
**Two Hours Later…**
Abigail stomped her feet as she walked towards the sofa. She had a dark expression on her face. She was defeated by Nathan over and over again.
\'Damn! I want to beat Nathan! He didn\'t show mercy. How could he play like that? Such a dirty player!\' Abigail lamented in her mind. She had never imagined that she would lose against Nathan.
\'Argh! I thought SizzlingAugust was the only person who could utterly defeat me. How come Nathan can play like a pro?!\'
Abigail regretted having a duel with him. Now, she had to sleep on the sofa and she owed him a wish. If this was only a real fist-to-fist combat, she would definitely win.
Nathan was just secretly observing Abigail as she threw a fit on the sofa. She felt frustrated and she hated to accept defeat. After a while, Abigail drifted off to sleep, getting tired of thinking how she could defeat him next time.
Nathan, who was comfortably lying on the soft bed, got up and approached Abigail. He just waited for her to fall asleep. Nathan stood beside her, his eyes fixed on Abigail\'s face.
"Who are you? Why do I keep seeing Monica in you? How can you play just like her?" Nathan felt very confused. He couldn\'t be mistaken. He was already familiar with the way Monica played her character. While playing with Abigail a while ago, Nathan was reminded of his first encounter with Monica as Shining Star.
