Day Sixty…

[ At Country M… ]
Veronica was upset with Marco for what happened to Nathan. But she kept finding herself, meeting this guy. She was in her drunken state when she knocked on his apartment's door.
A few seconds later, Marco opened the door, only to be surprised by Veronica's presence. Veronica didn't wait for him to say a word. She just barged into his house, stepping inside.
Marco could only watch her and follow her from behind. She slumped her body on the soft couch, lying there comfortably as she removed her shoes.
"What are you doing here in that kind of state?" Marco asked her, crossing his hands over his chest.
Veronica just let out a soft giggle as she glanced at him. "I came here because I need someone to talk to. I guess you are available, am I right?" She patted the space next to her, inviting Marco to sit down.
The two were clueless that Chantha was closely monitoring Veronica at this moment. Nathan gave his order to investigate Veronica. She might have involvement in Abigail's accident at Caceres Hills. Through Axel, he organized a team that would focus on this case.
Meanwhile, Marco couldn't say no to this woman. He was head over heels in love with her. "Why did you get drunk?" he asked her worriedly.
"Of course, it's because of Nathan! That woman woke up! And he brought her with him abroad for a vacation trip! I don't know what Nathan had seen on her. She is just a mere actress!" Veronica started venting out her frustrations.
Marco could only roll his eyes. He had heard this many times. Veronica often comes to him to complain about Nathan. She even wondered why Nathan chose Monica over her.
"Look at me? What's wrong with me? Do I look ugly?" Veronica grabbed Marco's shoulder, turning him around to face her.
"No. You're beautiful," Marco promptly responded to appease her.
"Then why? Why can't he notice me? Why can't he appreciate me? He just keeps on hurting my feelings!"
Veronica began pounding his chest using both fists. "You should have killed her. But you failed over and over again. Can't you do your work right this time?"
Marco's eyebrows twitched in a fleeting frown. "Just forget about him. He will never like you. If you want, I will make him pay for hurting your feelings."
Veronica stopped punching him and gazed up. She burst out into a sarcastic laugh. "You can't defeat him. He is more powerful than you think. You are just a small ant facing a big mountain."
Marco was offended a little bit because of her comparison. "He might be powerful… but he is still dumb when it comes to women," Marco said meaningfully.
"He let himself be deceived by one woman," he added.
"Huh? What are you talking about?" Veronica asked him, confused.
"Nothing." Marco shrugged his shoulders.
"Why don't you join a different organization? Don't stay loyal to Nathan. He just took you for granted." Marco suggested.
Veronica just raised her eyebrow. Though she was drunk, she could still grasp his words.
"Are you an idiot?" She spat back at him. "No one can match Nathan and his gang!"
"You never know. There is someone more powerful than him. A much cunning man." Marco smirked at her.
"Hahaha!" Veronica let out another chuckle. "Your joke is funny. Can you name one?"
"The Red Dragon Mafia," Marco replied. "You know a lot about Syphiruz Mafia. You can be an asset to Nathan's enemy if you will join them." Marco was convincing Veronica to switch sides. "It's not yet too late for you to change sides."
"No. The Red Dragon Mafia was easily defeated by the Syphiruz. You didn't do your research, Marco." Veronica pushed him away as she stood up. Staggering with her footings, Veronica found her way to the kitchen to grab some water.
Marco could only sigh helplessly as he followed the woman to support her.
"I know another powerful organization…" Marco said, opening the refrigerator for her.
"Oh, really. What org?" She asked him, leaning on the refrigerator as she drank her water.
"Have you heard of the org… King Stallion?" Marco looked at her intently, anticipating her reaction.
Veronica just lifted her eyebrow. She wasn't familiar with the King Stallion. "No. I won't join anyone." her decision was firm.
"Why don't you try meeting the leader of the King Stallion? You can ask him some favors in exchange for your loyalty." Marco continued convincing her.
Veronica didn't say a word. She just ignored his suggestion and went back to the living room.
"Don't close your door for this opportunity, Nica. I'll give you this number. If you change your mind, you can contact this anytime." Marco handed over a calling card.
Veronica accepted the calling card. Then she grabbed Marco by his collar, pulling him closer to her. "Stop talking nonsense. Just pleasure me today. I need to forget about Nathan. Make me happy," Veronica whispered in his ear sensually, her hand touching his pants.
With that provocation, Marco gave in right away. He cupped her face and sealed her lips with a hungry kiss. He liked her when she was drunk. She was the one initiating the moves. And they would end up having sex.
Veronica's appearance today was at the right timing. His cunning big boss wanted to recruit more people on his side as he prepared for an all-out war against the Syphiruz.
The next thing they could hear inside the apartment was the sound of moans and groans of two people having a passionate moment in the living room.
Meanwhile, Chantha began sending an update and report to Axel. They were constantly communicating at this moment. She was waiting inside her car which was parked just a few meters away from Marco's apartment.
She already took pictures of Veronica and Marco by his front door. "Axel, I'm sending a picture of a guy. Check his identity for me."
"Okay. Just send it."
Chantha immediately sent Marco's photo to Axel. It only took ten minutes for Axel to identify the man.
"Did you get the result already?" Chantha asked him, feeling a little bit bored. She was drinking her coffee as she continued to wait for Veronica to come out of Marco's apartment.
"This guy… is not an ordinary guy. He is a former assassin!" Axel informed her.
"Cough! Cough!" Chantha choked on her coffee when she heard that. She didn't expect that Veronica had a connection with an assassin.
"Wait! Don't tell me Veronica hired this man to hurt Abigail because of jealousy?" Chantha mumbled exasperatedly. She thought Veronica was bold enough to challenge their Supreme Leader. How could she hurt the woman their Supreme Leader liked?
"We are not yet certain about that. It's just a presumption. No evidence yet. That's why you are there to investigate and dig for more information. Just be careful. He is a former assassin. He could fight well," Axel reminded her.
Chantha giggled and said, "Hey, are you worried about me?" She decided to tease the man over the phone. "You should have come with me. I feel bored doing this alone."
"I think I should break into the house and find out what they are talking about right now," Chantha thought of a naughty idea.
"NO! Don't do that! That is a reckless move!" Axel immediately objected.
"Haha! You know me, Ax. I love doing reckless things!" Chantha taunted him further.
"Damn it! For goodness's sake Chantha, listen to me!" Axel began cursing from the other line. If he knew that Chantha would create trouble, he should have tagged along to control her.
"Relax, Ax. I know what I am doing. I'm also a professional," Chantha said confidently. "And he is also retired," she added.
"Chantha, Stop–" Chantha hang up the phone, not allowing Axel to continue his words. She got bored. She had been waiting there for almost an hour. Secret surveillance was not her forte. She was impatient. But Axel had no choice but to let her do this since Violet, Joker, and Spider were doing another mission.
"Damn! That woman! I should stop her before Veronica and this guy learns about this surveillance." Axel immediately grabbed his car keys. "I'll make sure to punish her for insubordination!" he lamented to himself.
Meanwhile, Chantha stepped out of her car. She surveyed the areas first before making a move. She made sure to check the position of the CCTV cameras in the vicinity.
'Hmm. What secret are you hiding, Doc Veronica?' Chantha discreetly approached the apartment, avoiding the CCTV cameras. She proceeded to the backdoor. It was locked.
'Let me try the window,' Chantha slowly and quietly approached the window. She picked up her small knife, trying the unlock the window. She was in that position when someone appeared from behind.
"Who are you? What are you doing?" A cold voice was heard. Chantha stopped when she felt a pointy object aimed at her waist.
'Shit! I got caught!'
