Day Forty-Six…
~~*****~~
[ At Syphiruz Medical Facility… ]
~ 6:30 am ~
Ethan and Nathan never left Abigail's side. They were watching over her until she woke up. She had been unconscious for fifteen hours now. The doctors were still trying to find out the cause of this. Her test results were all normal. They couldn't see any complications at all. They reexamined her over and over again. They were waiting for her third results to come out.
"Dad, what's wrong with Miss Abi? Why is it she isn't waking up?" Little Ethan asked his father with his innocent eyes. Worries and concerns were evident on his face. His little hands were holding Abigail's hand.
Nathan stood next to his son, his eyes fixed on Abigail. He wasn't showing it but deep inside, he was worried sick about Abigail. This scenario already happened twice. He couldn't understand why Abigail kept on fainting and losing consciousness.
'Is this the aftereffect of her accident?' Nathan clenched his fist, his expression becoming chilly. Until now, they hadn't found concrete evidence related to Abigail's attempted murder. The culprit was just around them.
"Don't worry, son. She will wake up soon. Let's wait for her examination results. The doctor is still diagnosing her current condition." Nathan tried to console his son.
Little Ethan pouted his lips and put on a pitiful look in his eyes. He bobbed his head and said, "Dad, is she going to be fine?"
"Of course, she is. She is a strong lady." Nathan reassured him, gently stroking his head.
"Son, just stay here and watch over Miss Abi. I will just call someone…" Nathan grabbed his phone and exited the ward. He immediately called his right-hand man, Axel.
"Axel, mobilize our men. I need to solve a case asap. Find the culprit of Abigail's attempted murder case. I will give a big reward to those who can catch the culprit!" Nathan spoke up with authority. Thinking that Abigail's mysterious health condition had something to do with the aftereffect of her accident, Nathan became so determined to catch the culprit. He wanted to punish the person who pushed her from the 13th-floor balcony of the Centerville Hotel.
"Okay, Supreme Leader, I will summon our Branch Leaders and relay this mission to them." He didn't ask any questions as he could sense that Nathan was not in a mood.
Nathan's voice was so cold. He could already imagine his dark and frightening expression. Axel was reminded of what happened two years ago. Nathan had the same tone when he ordered to attack the hideout of the Phantom Assassin Guild two years ago.
"Tell them to find the culprit in three days!" Nathan added through his gritted teeth, his voice filled with conviction.
"Yes, sir!" Axel immediately obeyed Nathan's command. He could feel the sense of urgency in Nathan's voice.
[ Ten minutes later… at Syphiruz Mafia Headquarters ]
Axel called an emergency meeting, summoning the branch leaders present in the country. Chantha, Violet, Spider, and Joker immediately proceeded to the Syphiruz Headquarters. Other branch leaders attended the meeting through the virtual platform.
"What happened, Axel? Where is our Supreme Leader? Why did you call this emergency meeting with Red Alert Signal?" Violet asked him in puzzlement. It was so sudden that they received this summon from the right-hand man of their Supreme Leader. This only meant something big happened and they needed to take action.
"Let's all settle down first. I will tell you the reason for this emergency meeting. Our Supreme Leader wants me to relay an important message to everyone." Axel said as his eyes roamed around the meeting room, checking today's attendees. The Branch Leaders who couldn't make it today were also there with their 3D hologram. The Syphiruz Mafia was using the technologies created by the SYP Twilight Corp.
On the other hand, Chantha leaned closer to Axel and whispered, "Hey, Axel. Is it true? Our Supreme Leader is dating Abigail Scarlett? Are they in love… for real?" Chantha was more curious about their Supreme Leader's personal relationship than the agenda of this meeting. She heard the news and watch the press conference. She couldn't believe that their Supreme Leader declared and revealed his relationship with Abigail to the whole nation.
Meanwhile, Axel turned in her direction, narrowing his eyes on her. "This is not the time to gossip," Axel reprimanded her.
Chantha just chewed on her lower lip and moved away from Axel. He was very serious today. "I hate you!" she murmured.
Axel still managed to hear her last remarks. He could only sigh helplessly.
"Our Supreme Leader gave us an urgent mission which we have to finish in three days. If we fail to deliver a result, we will suffer a consequence. But if we succeed, we will be greatly rewarded. So I hope everyone will do their best to accomplish this important task." Axel informed them, not beating around the bush.
The Branch Leaders were now all eyes and all ears on him. There was a gleam of excitement in their eyes. What kind of mission awaits them? They didn't care if they had to accomplish this in three days. What they were looking forward to was receiving a great reward after accomplishing the mission.
"What is the mission?" Spider asked. He could no longer hold his curiosity. He was dying to know what they needed to do. He benefited a lot during his last mission so he was certain that their Supreme Leader would give them a big reward for this mission alone.
"Remember the suicide attempt of the actress named Abigail Scarlett?"
Some reacted while others didn't. Some heard the news but some were not updated with the entertainment news so they had to research Abigail's name on the internet to know what happened.
"The incident is an attempted murder, not a suicide. Our Supreme Leader wants us to catch the culprit and find the mastermind in just three days!" Axel declared to them.
Chantha and Violet exchanged glances with one another. It seemed that Chantha's question had been answered indirectly. "Sister! See… it's true! Our Supreme Leader and Abigail are indeed dating for real!"
Violet could only bob her head in disbelief. Who would have thought that their Supreme Leader would finally open his heart again to another woman? They thought he hadn't moved on yet and was still in love with Monica. He didn't show interest in other women. So it was unexpected to hear that he and Abigail were now officially a couple.
"Let's move now. Our Supreme Leader wants to see the result as soon as possible!"
*****
As the Syphiruz Mafia was busy solving Abigail's case, Phantomflake's soul showed up in front of her real body. Before, there was an invisible barrier that was blocking her from going near her body. But now, Phantomflake could now stand next to her body. The invisible barrier already disappeared.
Déjà vu!
The winged magical creature, Bam-Bam, reappeared before her eyes. They were both looking into each other's eyes.
"Bam-Bam! Where have you been?! Why did you just show up? I've been looking for you for the past few days!"
"Master, congratulations, you are close to accomplishing your mission!"
