Day Sixty-Seven…
~~*****~~
[ At King Stallion Mafia's Secret Hideout… ]
Phoenix, Marco, Joker, and Veronica were gathered in one room together with some members.
Marco and Joker were still recovering from their injuries. However, they made sure to attend this meeting. The King would meet them through a conference call, including the Dragon Lord and his subordinates, Jack and Spade. They wouldn't join them face-to-face but through a virtual platform.
Vincent was still wary of both Joker and Veronica. He couldn't trust them fully so as much as possible, he would keep his real identity a secret from them.
The King summoned his subordinates to plan out the strategy to attack the branches of the Syphiruz Mafia. Vincent would like to keep the mission related to Jane confidential. He didn't want Veronica and Marco to hear the story. Who knows they might accidentally mention this to Helena.
"Joker, give us details about the Syphiruz Operation abroad, especially in Country R and Country J. What are they up to?" Phoenix asked him in his dominating tone. Among them, Phoenix was the acting team leader of the whole group.
"Our operation overseas focuses on the trade of contraband, firearms, explosives, and ammunition. But Syphiruz is very careful when choosing our clients. We also invest in the production of high-powered firearms and expand our territories by acquiring small gangs and other mafia groups."
"As of now, we have made so many alliances overseas. Our latest partnership is with the Sawada Clan. This alliance strengthened the power and influence of the Syphiruz in Country J." Joker informed them. He already received an instruction from Nathan about what he should or should not share with the King Stallion Mafia.
"We need to destroy the alliance of the Syphiruz and the Sawada Clan. I'll leave this to you, Dragon Lord," Vincent finally broke his silence.
"Phoenix, dispatch our men and steal the weapons during the deal of the Syphiruz with another big organization in Country K." Vincent gave another order.
"But I want to warn you. Supreme Leader will change his strategy and I can't guarantee 100 percent success for this mission. He knew that I already joined hands with you. We should be careful when attacking them." Joker warned them. This was also part of their plan since he needed to gain the King's trust and discover his real identity.
As of this moment, the group was unaware that their hideout's location had been compromised. Syphiruz members were already familiarizing the in and out. They were also assessing the level of tightness of their security system.
"Dr. Veronica, we heard about the Truth Serum Project of the Syphiruz. Do you have a formula for this? We want to develop this serum and the organization will surely benefit from it." Vincent called Veronica's attention. She looked bored just listening to their conversation.
"Yes. I know the formula for the truth serum. We can also produce them." Veronica suggested.
"Okay. Starting today, you will be part of our medical research team. But there is another project I want to assign to you. I created a team for Project X. This project focuses on the creation of bio-weapon." Vincent declared to them.
Veronica and Joker were stunned for a moment when they heard that. Bioweapon was a risky project. It would create a massive destruction. It seemed that the King Stallion was also thinking of producing viruses and making antidotes in partnership with the Red Dragon Mafia. An organization like this was truly evil. Were they going to target even innocent civilians just for billions of profits?
'I must inform our Supreme Leader about this.' Joker thought to himself.
Their meeting lasted for two hours. After dismissing them, Vincent decided to talk to Phoenix alone, asking him about the failed mission yesterday.
"Have you found her? Did you get any clue? Phantomflake won't disappear just like that." Vincent asked Phoenix, feeling a little bit impatient.
"I'm sorry, my King. Phantomflake is not there. However I managed to get a copy of her medical information. It looked like she was brought into the facility and the doctor treated her. He said she was back in her coma state. So the Supreme Leader transferred her, bringing her abroad for her treatment." Phoenix informed him.
Vincent was shocked when he heard that Jane was back in her coma state. How did it happen?
"They moved her abroad. Did you manage to get the name of the hospital?" Vincent didn't know if this was a good thing or a bad thing. Helena wanted to kill Jane. Who would have thought that she didn't need to do it because Jane was back in a coma state.
Something pinched his heart at that thought. He could still remember how healthy she was the last time he met her. How could she have fallen ill once again?
"What should I do next, Sir? Phantomflake is not here in Country M anymore." Phoenix consulted him. This was his special mission coming from their King.
"Just let it be. As long as Helena can't see her, everything is in order. But since you are here in Country M, I want you to do another mission for me. Can you monitor that old man, Chairman Sparks? I want to know his daily routine." Vincent was referring to Old Man Xu. There was a cold glint flashing through his eyes as he mentioned Old Man Xu.
"Okay, my King. I will monitor his every movement." Phoenix promptly responded.
"I heard that the old ma planned to celebrate the 50th anniversary of his company. I would like you to get an invitation for two. I will attend this event." Vincent gave Phoenix another task. "I wonder if he will be able to recognize me. I plan to surprise him and Nathan."
"I understand. Consider it done, my King."
Vincent just ended the call. Complicated emotions could be seen in his eyes– hatred and bitterness.
"Soon, I will get my revenge. I will make them pay for everything. I will let them experience the pain of being abandoned and losing their loved ones. It's time to take Ethan away from you."
