Day Fifty-Five…
~~*****~~
[ At Star Corp Building… ]
Richard was having a meeting with Alexander. Abigail's current condition was hidden from the public, so Richard and others didn't know that she was still in a coma. Abigail's manager and Santra didn't hear any news regarding her.
Alexander asked for another meeting for this movie project so that he could interact with Abigail. But to his disappointment, Abigail didn't show up.
"Where's Abigail? She is the female lead of this movie. She should attend this meeting!" Alexander was upset.
Ana and Santra could only exchange glances with one another. They tried contacting Abigail and Nathan. However, they were still waiting for someone to answer them.
"We've heard that she got into an accident together with Nathan. But we don't have an update about her current condition," Richard calmly responded to Alexander.
"Where is she admitted?" Alexander asked them. He was thinking of visiting her.
"We can only ask Mr. Sparks. But for now, Miss Abi can't attend our meeting. Rest assured Mr. Alexander, her manager, and her assistant will relay our agreement here to Abigail."
Alexander was still unhappy. He wasn't able to meet Abigail. "I'll just let my assistant handle this. I have to go now."
Alexander didn't wait for them to respond. He immediately left the conference room, heading to the parking area. Jack was already waiting for him inside the car.
Jack noticed the dark expression of his Boss. It seemed that something didn't go as he planned.
"Boss, are you okay? Did you argue with someone?" Jack asked him, simply stealing a glance at his boss through the front view mirror. Alexander settled down in the back passenger seat, leaning his back while closing his eyes.
"Let's leave. My target is not here," Alexander mumbled.
Jack just bobbed his head before starting the car. "Boss, Spade completely recovered. He wants to follow us here. Will you give him permission to travel?"
At the mention of Spade's name, Alexander opened his eyes. "Yes. Summon him. I need him here." Alexander was thinking of tracking Abigail's location to find out her whereabouts. It seemed that Nathan was hiding her from everyone.
"Okay. Boss. I'll talk to him later." Jack shifted his attention back to the road.
They were traversing through the busy street of Towerville City when Alexander's phone rang. An unknown number was calling him. Alexander frowned when he saw the unregistered number. He hesitated for a moment before answering the phone call.
"Greetings, Dragon Lord!" A robotic voice could be heard from the other line. Someone was using a voice-changing app.
"Who are you?" Alexander asked the person in annoyance.
"I want to offer you an alliance. Let's bring the Syphiruz Mafia down… along with the Sawada Clan."
"I've heard that the Sawada Clan attacked the Red Dragon Mafia." The mysterious man spoke again.
Alexander narrowed his eyes as he pursed his lips. How could he trust this stranger if he couldn't even speak to him using his real voice?
"I can deal with the Syphiruz Mafia. I don't need a stranger's offer. Furthermore, you are not sincere in offering me an alliance. If you truly want it, then show your face to me. Don't hide." Alexander challenged him.
The mysterious stranger let out a soft chuckle. "Okay. I understand. Let's meet. I'll send you the address."
"But wait… how did you get my phone number?" Alexander was surprised. He never gave his phone number to outsiders.
"I have my ways. I'm more skillful than your underling, Spade." He boasted his skills.
"Tsk. You're so arrogant." Alexander didn't hide his displeasure.
Another robotic laughter was heard from the other line.
"By the way, I will give you some information related to the Sawada Clan's operation. If you agree to become my ally after our meet-up, you can attack one of their branches as part of your revenge."
Alexander was contemplating whether to go against the Sawada Clan or not. He hadn't given up yet to gain Mr. Hiroshi's favor. Furthermore, he wasn't sure if this mysterious person was powerful enough to fight the Syphiruz Mafia and the Sawada Clan.
"Let me think about it. I'll decide after our meeting. I have to see if you are qualified to become my ally!" Alexander gave his answer.
"Hmm, You need me and I need you. With our combined forces, we can defeat those two. I am a little bit worried since the leader of the Sawada Clan has close interaction with the Leader of the Syphiruz. We have to stop those two from forming an alliance. We should attack them and weaken their operation before they can form an alliance." The mysterious stranger suggested.
"I can't see any weakness of the Sawada Clan. I don't want to fight them. Instead, I would like to get their support." Alexander expressed his thoughts.
"It's easy. Just eliminate the godfather. Without him, we can conquer the Sawada Clan. I've received important intel from my spy. The leader of the Sawada Clan is here in Country M. The security is not tight. We can easily assassinate him."
Alexander was amazed because this stranger was a cunning man. He knew how to strike at the right time.
"Fine. Let's meet first and discuss this further." Alexander was being slowly swayed by the stranger's words.
"Sure. Don't worry. I know his whereabouts. We can easily tail him and plan the assassination strategy efficiently. No room for mistakes." The mysterious stranger was confident.
Meanwhile, clueless about the scheme against him, Mr. Hiroshi was overjoyed because he found his two daughters. His mind didn't want to think of something else. His attention was only focused on Jane and Abigail.
Mr. Hiroshi and Jane were talking inside Abigail's ward. Jane came to the facility so early. Mr. Hiroshi also showed up five minutes after Jane entered the room.
"Pa… there is someone I want you to meet. This guy is very important to Abigail…" Jane wanted to introduce Dave to Mr. Hiroshi.
"A guy? Are you referring to Nathan?" Mr. Hiroshi asked in confusion.
Jane shook her head. "No, Pa. It's not Nathan. Before him, there was a guy who took care of Abigail in the orphanage. They were close friends… and childhood sweethearts. Abigail's first love."
"First love? But Abigail has a boyfriend now. It's Nathan." Mr. Hiroshi said, confused.
Jane sighed deeply. She realized that this was something she had to fix as well. Their father believed that Nathan and Abigail were a couple. But little did he know, she was the one who made Nathan fall in love, not her sister.
'My head is going to burst. How can I fix this? I don't want my father to think that I'm going to steal Nathan from my sister. I have to win Nathan's heart. To do that, I have to replace Abigail…'
"Pa… Nathan and Abi… they were not a real couple. They were just pretending. The guy we are going to meet today is the real boyfriend of my sister, Abi."
"Who told you that?" A cold voice of Nathan was heard from the back.
Jane's body stiffened instantly. She didn't expect that Nathan would suddenly show up and overheard their conversation. When she turned around, Jane met Nathan's angry look. He was staring at her with his bloodshot eyes.
