SEDUCING THE DEVIL - Season 2 Episode 85

Day Twenty-One…

~~*****~~

Nathan concealed the faint smile on his face when he saw Violet and Spider. His expression turned into a serious one.

“So?” Nathan asked them. He was waiting for his two subordinates to speak up. He could see that the two were surprised about something.

“Supreme Leader, we have something to report,” Violet was the first one who found her voice.

Spider was still in a daze, processing what he had seen. Their Supreme Leader just smiled a while ago just thinking about something. It had been so long since the last time he saw Nathan smiling like that.

“What is it?” Nathan shifted his gaze back to Violet.

“Cough! Cough!” Violet cleared her throat to snap Spider back to the present. She also nudged his shoulder, motioning him to continue the report.

Spider took a deep breath before telling him an important piece of news. “Sawada Clan returned to the country. The leader was invited by the Red Dragon Mafia. It looks like the Red Dragon is trying to form an alliance with other powerful factions!”

The Syphiruz Mafia had been trying to form an alliance with Sawada Clan in the past, but the clan leader refused to see them. If the Sawada clan decided to collaborate with the Red Dragon Mafia, their combined forces would bring imbalance in the underground world, making the Red Dragon stronger than before.

“Master, the Red Dragon is also making a move. Do you think they are targeting us? Are they planning to bring us down?” Spider asked Nathan’s opinion about this.

However, Nathan didn’t look worried at all. He still believed in the power of Syphiruz Mafia. No one could intimidate him. But he was aware that Sawada Clan was also a powerful organization that lay low for a long time. It would be a great loss if he couldn’t form an alliance with them.

“You don’t have to worry about it. They can’t defeat us even if they will combine forces with the Sawada Clan.” Nathan reassured him.

“What did Red Dragon promise the Clan Leader for him to convince them to meet Red Dragon Mafia?” Nathan asked Violet and Spider, wondering if the spy got more information about this.

As much as he knew, the Sawada Clan Leader was so hard to please. He wouldn’t agree to any meet-ups even though Syphiruz Mafia already offered them high prices and advanced technologies.

“Supreme Leader… According to our Spy… the Dragon Lord promised the Sawada Clan Leader to find a person. I guess this person is very important to the Sawada Clan.” Violet replied.

Nathan fell silent for a moment. This was something he missed. So the Sawada Clan leader didn’t care about money, technologies, or forces… he was looking for someone… someone important to him, perhaps, his family member or a friend? That someone might also be his mortal enemy.

Nathan immediately stood up, grabbing his coat, mask, and car keys. “Do you have information where I can see the members of Sawada Clan?”

Spider and Violet exchanged glances with one another. They could hear the urgency in his voice. It looked like Nathan was planning to meet them on the spot.

“Supreme Leader, are you going to meet them in person? Can’t you wait for Axel? He is your representative. Sawada Clan is dangerous. You will put yourself in danger if you meet them personally.” Spider was worried about Nathan’s safety.

Sawada Clan was known for having the best fighters. They were also good at fighting with swords. But they had members who were also sharpshooters.

“I made a mistake for not finding this out sooner. Sawada Clan is looking for someone. And that someone will be the key to form an alliance with them. I can’t accept defeat. They have rejected us so many times. This time I want to prove to them that they need us.” Nathan shared his sentiments with Violet and Spider.

The two could understand Nathan. Even Violet and Spider couldn’t accept that Sawada Clan took them for granted. It was an insult to Syphiruz Mafia. But because the former Supreme Leader, Cedric “Xu” Sparks also known as Old Man Xu was looking up and had great respect for the leader of the Sawada Clan, the Syphiruz Mafia didn’t dare pick a fight with them.

“Supreme Leader, I heard from our spy that representatives of Sawada Clan booked several rooms in EDSJ Five Star Hotel. They were staying there for the meantime. But they are VIP clients so the hotel is heavily guarded. No one is allowed to enter the floor where they are checked in.” Spider informed Nathan as he checked the message of their spy.

Nathan stayed silent for a moment. Then his eyes gleamed as soon as he remembered someone– Madam Priyanshi Patel, the owner of the hotel! He knew her personally as his business partner before. He would try to use his connection with her to meet the members of Sawada Clan.

“I know someone who can help me with this,” Nathan said, picking up his phone.

“Okay, Master. I will summon our elite fighters to escort you to the hotel. We are coming with you,” Spider said, getting ready to call their subordinates.

But Nathan waved his hand, stopping Spider. “No need to bring escorts. I will go there as the CEO of SYP Twilight Corp, not as Supreme Leader of Syphiruz. Bringing escorts will only catch attention.”

“But we can’t let you go there alone. Remember, we didn’t know the person who stabbed you. He might be lurking around, following you.” Violet disagreed with Nathan’s idea.

“You have nothing to worry about. I’m not going there alone. I’ll bring someone with me,” Nathan said meaningfully, fighting a smile.

“Who?” Violet and Spider asked him in unison.

Nathan was silent for a moment then he smirked at them as he said, “My special bodyguard.”

​ Violet: ‘Special Bodyguard??!’

Spider: ‘Who is that?’

Violet and Spider had a puzzled look on their faces, wondering whom he was referring to. After a while, Nathan said goodbye to them. Instead of going to the EDSJ Five Star Hotel, Nathan headed home.

Upon entering the mansion, he saw Abigail on the balcony, watching something on her phone.

“Abi, come with me,” Nathan spoke up without even saying hi to her.

Abigail: “???”
