Day Twenty Two...
~~*****~~
Nathan lost his temper towards Abigail. He realized that he was too harsh but it was too late to take his words back. His emotions just piled up and he wasn't able to control his rage.
He could only tug his hair tightly as he watched Abigail walking away from him. He stayed there for a while, gathering his emotions.
He didn't know what he would do next. He didn't have time to worry about Abigail as the Red Dragon Mafia and the Sawada Clan might be having a negotiation right now.
'How can I sabotage their negotiation? Can I stop Mr. Hiroshi from making a deal with the Red Dragon Mafia? But thinking about the image he has about me, I'm doubtful if he would listen to me or not.' Nathan massaged his temples as he felt conflicted.
When Nathan was done calming himself, he decided to go back to their VIP suite. He had to pick up some of his things before leaving the hotel.
He felt dejected thinking that Abigail already ruined his plan and he couldn't do anything about it now. All he wanted to do was to go to Syphiruz Headquarters and strategize his next move. There was no reason for him to stay there.
Meanwhile, on the 14th floor where the Dragon Lord was waiting for Mr. Hiroshi, Kazuki was already guiding their Clan Leader to meet the Dragon Lord.
"Godfather! Where did you go? Why did you leave without telling me? Who was the woman with you?" Kazuki bombarded him with so many questions. It was so unlikely of him to leave without his bodyguards and escorts!
"Don't overreact, Kazuki. I'm not a little kid. I know what I'm doing. It's not all the time I would inform you where I want to go. Besides, I am familiar with this place. I lived here for thirty years." Mr. Hiroshi said, rolling his eyes at his right-hand man.
Kazuki just kept his mouth shut. He didn't mean to offend or anger their Clan Leader. He knew his place very well. It's just that he got worried for his safety.
They never knew if their enemies were just lurking around. If they spotted Mr. Hiroshi, he was certain that someone would grab the opportunity to eliminate him.
Mr. Hiroshi received several death threats before. Even in this country, they had to be cautious and careful.
"I'm sorry, Godfather." Kazuki paused for a moment. Then he decided to change the topic as he didn't want to annoy Mr. Hiroshi further.
"Godfather, the Dragon Lord of the Red Dragon Mafia had arrived. He was waiting for you in the room next to your suite."
Mr. Hiorshi halted on his steps at the mention of the Dragon Lord and the Red Dragon Mafia. He was still thinking about the offer of Abigail.
He was analyzing the pros and cons of choosing either side. Should he choose the help from another underground world organization or should he choose the help from a businessman?
"Godfather, is there something wrong?" Kazuki asked him, snapping Mr. Hiroshi out of his deep thoughts.
"None," he shortly responded.
"Let's go. This way, Godfather." Kazuki led the path going to the room where the Dragon Lord was waiting.
Mr. Hiroshi and Kazuki were already in front of the door when Mr. Hiroshi stopped Kazuki from opening the door for him.
"Wait!"
Kazuki gazed at him with a puzzled look. "Godfather?" He didn't know why Mr. Hiroshi suddenly stopped him.
After a while, Mr. Hiroshi spoke up, giving Kazuki some instructions.
"I'm going back to my room. Tell the Dragon Lord that I'm not feeling well. I can't face him today. Let's cancel this meeting."
Kazuki: "..."
Kazuki's eyes widened in surprise. He didn't expect to hear that from their Clan Leader. Today's meet-up had already been set. Furthermore, it was Mr. Hiroshi who decided to meet the Dragon Lord in person.
He was already desperate to find his missing daughter. When the Red Dragon offered him some help to find someone for him, he didn't hesitate to go to Country M and seal the deal in person.
However, his mind changed because of his encounter with Abigail. That young lady with emerald eyes caught his attention and won his heart right away. He became fond of her in just a short moment.
Abigail also introduced him to Nathan Sparks. He seemed reliable because he even located their location in just a short period. Abigail was so proud of Nathan, informing Mr. Hiorshi about Nathan's capability to find a missing person.
Mr. Hiroshi only knew that Nathan was a CEO of a famous company here in Country M. He had no idea that this man was also the Supreme Leader of Syphiruz Mafia, another organization from the underground world.
Without waiting for Kazuki to say a word, Mr. Hiroshi turned around and headed to his room. His decision was final. He didn't want to meet the leader of the Red Dragon Mafia.
He would like to gamble on Abigail's suggestion. This time he followed his instinct. And his gut feeling told him to trust Abigail's words.
Kazuki could only sigh in defeat as he watched their Clan Leader walking towards his room. "I guess, I have to make an alibi for this. Anyway, our leader is not afraid of anyone so he doesn't care even if the Dragon Lord will be upset and get offended as Mr. Hiroshi stood him up today, canceling their prior appointment.
When Mr. Hiroshi entered his room, he dialed Nathan's number which he got from Abigail a while ago. He decided to call him and discuss something with him personally.
Nathan was in the lobby and was about to leave the hotel when he received a call from an unknown number. He frowned for a moment but he still answered the call.
"Hello?" Nathan spoke up with a cold tone.
"Mr. Sparks, it's me, Hiroshi. Are you free? Can you proceed to my room now and let's talk about something? Please bring Abigail with you!" Mr. Hiroshi spoke spontaneously without a stop.
Nathan was not able to answer right away. He was utterly astounded as he didn't expect this sudden call. Mr. Hiroshi was supposed to be talking to the Red Dragon Mafia. How come he was calling him at this moment?
