Day Sixty-Two…
~~*****~~
[ At Red Dragon Mafia's Hideout… ]
"What are we going to do with them, Boss?" Jack was observing the two men who were blindfolded and tied down in a chair. They were the two bodyguards of Mr. Hiroshi who were captured by the Red Dragon's men.
"Just keep them alive for now. We need to extract information from them. They still have used for us," Alexander replied to Jack. "By the way, where is Spade?"
"He is in the computer room, still checking and reviewing the CCTV Footage in Luiz District Hospital."
They had just mentioned his name when Spade entered the room. "Boss!" Spade called Alexander with urgency. "Come! You have to see this!"
Spade guided Alexander and Jack to the computer room. Upon reaching the room, Spade pointed his finger at the monitor. The video was paused and the footage on the monitor screen was a woman descending from the ambulance.
"Correct me if I'm wrong, Boss… This woman… She looks like Phantomflake. She regained consciousness already?!" Spade blurted out exasperatedly.
Alexander and Jack fixed their eyes on the screen and assessed the footage. They were flabbergasted when they recognized the woman. She was indeed Phantomflake.
"Wait… Is she working with the Sawada Clan now? Or perhaps, she joined hands with the Syphiruz Mafia?" Spade asked again with disbelief.
Alexander narrowed his eyes at the monitor as he clenched his jaw. "I thought he hated her, why did he let her live?"
Jack and Spade exchanged glances with one another.
"If Phantomflake joins hands with the Syphiruz, does it mean Black Rose will join them as well?" Spade's expression became saddened. He was still hoping that Black Rose would join Red Dragon.
"Definitely!" Jack answered him. Then he turned to Alexander. "Boss, what is your plan now? Do you still want to kill her?"
"Of course, he will. She killed his first love!" Spade butted in.
Alexander's expression turned cold and dark. "I'll deal with her soon. But first, I have to inform the leader of King Stallion about Phantomflake's existence.
Alexander stepped out of the computer room and called Vincent. After a few rings, Vincent answered his call.
"Yes, Dragon Lord? Do you need anything?" Vincent's voice was heard from the other line.
"I found out who was the woman who rescued the Godfather," Alexander said in a cold tone.
"Who is she?" Vincent replied nonchalantly.
"Phantomflake! The infamous assassin. Have you heard of her name?" Alexander didn't know that Vincent was familiar with her.
Meanwhile, Vincent was taken aback for a moment at the mention of Phantomflake's name. Though he already expected that Phantomflake might be working with Nathan now, he was still surprised to know that she was the one who saved the leader of the Sawada Clan.
"I'm not familiar with her," Vincent lied, feigning ignorance. "Enlighten me."
"She's the assassin who killed Nathan's woman… Monica…" There was a hint of sadness in Alexander's eyes when he mentioned Monica's name. "I am wondering why she is involved with the Sawada Clan and the Syphiruz Mafia. Nathan loathes her so much. I am surprised that he spared her life."
"I think you are familiar with Phantom's Assassin Guild. She's the leader of that guild. The Syphiruz Mafia annihilated her guild. So why do you think she is working with him?" Alexander was skeptical about the relationship between Nathan and Jane, as well as her connection with the Sawada Clan.
"Relax, Buddy. She is just a woman. Are you afraid of her?" Vincent chuckled.
Alexander squinted his eyes at Vincent's nonchalant reaction. "You don't know her reputation! She is a dangerous woman. I want her dead!"
"Take it easy. We can still use her. You already said it… Phantomflake and Syphiruz are sworn enemies. I don't think they joined hands as allies. Maybe, they have a deal. The Supreme Leader wanted to know who called the hit. Maybe, Phantomflake is helping him to trace the mastermind." Vincent tried to calm Alexander down. He was overreacting because of Phantomflake's existence.
Vincent didn't know why but part of him didn't want to kill Phantomflake.
"So are you planning to recruit Phantomflake on your side?" Alexander questioned him.
Vincent was not able to respond right away as Helena's face popped up in his mind. 'I don't think so. Someone will get overly jealous once she sees her.'
"Just let her be. You should focus on your Plan B. Remember? Our assassination plan failed." Vincent tried to change the topic.
"Yeah. I have to pursue the godfather's daughter, Abigail Scarlett. But I think it will be hard if she's in love with another man." Alexander sighed helplessly.
"Haha! Where did your confidence go?" Vincent teased him. "Don't worry. My woman already set a plan on how you will appear in the picture. She plans to break her heart… that's when you will show up and win her affection. Is this your first time seducing a woman?"
"Of course not!" Alexander firmly said.
Vincent could only chuckle once more. "Okay. I believe you. Just think of her as your beloved woman. Treat her well and she will open up to you."
Alexander arched his eyebrow. "I didn't ask for your advice. I know what I have to do."
"Haha! Alright! Don't get so worked up. I'm just giving you a word of wisdom. Anyway, I have to go." Vincent said goodbye. He had something important to do today. He was going to meet Jane aka Phantomflake. But he needed to make some alibi so that Helena won't look for him.
Alexander was about to hang up the phone when Vincent proposed something. "Are you available today? Why don't you meet my woman? She will tell you her plan."
Vincent found someone who would make Helena occupy for today. Besides, Helena was curious about how Alexander was doing. He was certain that Helena wouldn't refuse this meet-up. Vincent would grab this opportunity to meet Jane behind Helena's back as Alexander would keep her busy.
"Okay. I'm free today. I can meet her," Alexander replied.
Vincent's lips curled up in a triumphant smile. "Okay. I'll inform her. Ciao!"
