"Oh, so this is the man who made you cry this morning?" Mr. Hiroshi said out of the blue.

Abigail: "..."

Nathan: "..."

Mr. Hiroshi let out another chuckle. Nathan could only watch him in amusement. He didn't expect that this was the Leader of the Sawada Clan. He was laughing naturally as if he was not the brutal and ruthless leader of the Sawada Clan.

And what did he just say? Nathan made Abigail cry. Those sentences made Nathan glance at Abigail, giving her a questioning look.

"Why did you cry?" Nathan asked her worriedly. He had no idea why Abigail would cry because of him.

"N-No… I–"

Abigail was about to deny it but Mr. Hiroshi butted in once more, cutting her off.

"She cried because you are still thinking of your ex!"

Abigail's jaw dropped, her eyes going round and her cheeks turning red in embarrassment. She couldn't look straight into Nathan's eyes. What if he would think that Abigail was badmouthing him?

Meanwhile, Nathan remained speechless. He didn't know what to say as he was caught off guard by Mr. Hiroshi's words.

"Young man, please be kind to her and don't take her for granted. You will just appreciate her presence if she is gone. Don't let that happen, otherwise, you will regret it…" Mr. Hiroshi gave Nathan sudden meaningful advice. Even Abigail was at a loss for words after hearing it.

"If you couldn't get over your ex then let this young woman go. She can meet someone who will love her wholeheartedly. Don't hurt her feelings by making her feel that you are still thinking of your ex." Mr. Hiroshi began lecturing Nathan for Abigail's sake.

Abigail could only tug Mr. Hiroshi's hand, signaling him to stop talking. She could already feel the sharp gaze coming from Nathan. But Mr. Hiroshi didn't stop as he spoke again.

"Young man, don't get mad at her. She was upset with you, that's why she left the hotel without telling you. She wanted to see the beach so I brought her here to cheer her up and lighten her mood." Mr. Hiroshi kept on defending Abigail. He glanced at her, giving her a reassuring smile.

Nathan slammed his eyes shut and took a deep breath trying to calm his emotions. He didn't know what nonsense Abigail tattled on Mr. Hiroshi about him. Thanks to her, he looked like a bad man in Mr. Hiroshi's eyes. How could he convince him to make a deal with him if Mr. Hiroshi was disappointed in him already?

'Abigail Scarlett… what have you done?' Nathan clenched his fists but he tried to look gentle in front of Mr. Hiroshi and Abigail.

With a fake smile on his face, Nathan defended himself. "Mr. Hiroshi, I'm not mad. I'm just worried about her. And about our misunderstanding… Abigail and I will work it out together." Nathan averted his gaze back to Abigail, giving her a meaningful glance.

Abigail could only look down as she bit her lower lip. 'Damn. The devil is mad… I can feel it.'

"Good! Nice to meet you, Mr. Nathan Sparks." Mr. Hiroshi changed his tone. He sounded friendly now.

"Likewise, Mr. Hiroshi," Nathan mumbled, extending his right hand to Mr. Hiroshi.

"Do you plan on staying here or do you want me to give you a ride going back to the hotel?" Nathan consulted the old man. He didn't want to stay longer there. Who knows if the members of the Sawada Clan would suddenly arrive. He had to hide Abigail whom they thought kidnapped Mr. Hiroshi.

Fortunately, Ethan and his robotics friends worked so fast in finding Abigail's location. He also informed Axel and Chantha about their location. They needed escorts just in case an encounter with Sawada Clan would happen.

,m "Sigh. I promise to tour him around the city. Why don't you accompany us and become our driver?" Abigail shamelessly said. She just wanted Mr. Hiroshi and Nathan to bond together so that Nathan could gain Mr. Hiroshi's trust.

However, Nathan took it differently. He thought Abigail was making fun of him and trying to take advantage of the situation. He couldn't argue with her nor scold her in front of Mr. Hiroshi.

"Hmm, sure. I like that idea. Since Mr. Sparks is already here, we can no longer avoid him. He can become our driver. Riding a cab would be a hassle!" Mr. Hiroshi played along with Abigail's suggestion.

Nathan clenched his teeth. 'Abigail… just you wait. Once we are back to our hotel room, I will teach you a lesson.'

"Sure… where do you want to go?" Nathan asked them.

"Resto… Food! I'm hungry!" Abigail blurted out while rubbing her stomach. She hadn't eaten breakfast yet.

"You should have eaten breakfast first before you left the hotel," Nathan nagged at her, grabbing her hand. He pulled her towards the car.

Mr. Hiroshi just chuckled watching the two. He followed them behind.

Chantha's team and Axel's team also arrived at the beachfront of Caspian's coastline. They saw Nathan's car and received an order to follow them behind as guards.

Mr. Hiroshi left the hotel without informing his men. Now, the members of Sawada Clan were looking for him in the entire city. Nathan didn't want Sawada Clan to mistake them as someone who kidnapped Mr. Hiroshi.

After ten minutes, Nathan stopped the car at a famous restaurant near the outskirts of Towerville City. The three of them entered the restaurant, maintaining a low profile.

It was a seafood restaurant so Abigail immediately ordered her favorite dish– Calamares, Garlic Buttered Shrimp, and Grilled Tuna Belly. Mr. Hiroshi chose Seafood soup and pasta. Nathan just left them to order more food.

While eating, Mr. Hiroshi began interviewing Nathan. He wanted to know him more. He was assessing if this guy could be trusted and if he could seek his help in finding his missing daughter. After that, he would decide whether he would choose to cooperate with the Red Dragon Mafia or Nathan Sparks.

Nathan had no idea that Abigail already helped him regarding his concern with Mr. Hiroshi.

"Mr. Sparks, what is your work? Perhaps are you an agent? An investigator?"

"Cough! Cough!" Abigail choked when she heard that. Nathan was no agent nor investigator. He is a leader of a notorious Mafia Organization!

"No. I'm the CEO of SYP Twilight Corporation." Nathan plainly responded.

"Are you good at finding people?" Mr. Hiroshi asked him.

"Yes," Nathan didn't hesitate to answer that question.

"Can I test you? Can I bring Abigail with me and hide her?" Mr. Hiroshi blurted out with a straight face.

"Cough! Cough!" Abigail choked on her food once more. Then she raised her head, stealing a glance at Nathan. Abigail gasped when she saw him already looking at her. She could only bite her lips.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Hiroshi. I can't do that."

'Nathan will not waste his time looking for me. I am just a nobody for him.' Abigail gazed down, staring at the food on her plate. 'Can't he just pretend that he cares for me?'

"Abigail is not going anywhere. I can't let you hide her from me. She should stick by my side… always." Nathan added, staring at Abigail intently.

Abigail: "..."
