Day Twenty Seven...
~~*****~~
[ At Red Dragon Mafia's Hideout in Country M... ]
Spade was trying to contact Black Rose but she already blocked him. He kept calling and messaging her through her phone number, however, Cherry was not responding.
After talking to Abigail, Cherry decided to cut ties with Spade. And Spade had no idea about it. He even disregarded Abigail's warning and continued reaching out for Black Rose. But this time, he failed.
"Why are you sulking there again?" Jack patted Spade's back. He wanted to tease him.
Spade glowered his eyes at Spade. "Don't start, Jack. I'm not in the mood."
"Ho! Ho! Our Spade sounded scary! I'm afraid!" Jack made some face, provoking him further.
Spade took his mouse and was about to throw it, aiming at Jack. However, he realized that it was his precious mouse so he put it down and just picked up his notepad, throwing it to Jack!
"Ouch! You are getting more violent now, Speedy!" Jack was calling him Speedy whenever he wanted to tease him.
"Just get out, Jack! Go to your own hideout! This is my territory!" Spade was sending his naughty friend away.
"Okay! Bye-Bye, my friend," Jack said, laughing as he left the room. He was going back to their second headquarters. He was assigned to oversee the second branch of the Red Dragon Mafia in Country M while the Dragon Lord was not around.
The Dragon Lord was preoccupied right now with the pending negotiation with the Sawada Clan. Because of that, he assigned Jack to manage and supervise their men in the second branch in the meantime.
"Thankfully, the annoying guy disappeared from my sight!" Spade stretched his arms and rubbed his nape.
Spade finally gained a peaceful environment when Jack left his territory– the Third Branch. Since Spade was not in the mood because Black Rose ghosted him, he decided to take a nap and sleep in his quarters.
*Half an hour later...*
Spade woke up at the strong alarm resounding on the laptop near his bedside table and his smartwatch. The security system he installed for the Red Dragon Mafia's hideout sensed some intruders.
Beep! Beep! Beep!
Spade sobered up and his sleepiness dissipated into thin air. He got off the bed and reached out for his laptop to check what was happening to their hideout. It did not take long when another alarm resounded in the entire hideouts. It was a Fire Alarm!
*Bringgggggg!*
*Bringgggggg!*
A loud continuous beeping alarm could be heard. It only meant that fire had broken out in a certain part of the headquarters.
Spade wanted to check the situation through his laptop when he suddenly heard several explosions followed by the sound of the gunshots.
Violet could only roll her eyes skyward. Her twin sister was acting naughty again. She was targeting this handsome man because she was easily attracted to gorgeous men.
Meanwhile, Spade raised his arms as a sign of surrender. Then he identified himself, "Y-Yes... I am S-Spade..." he stuttered from nervousness.
"Haha! I knew it! You are Spade... I have a great instinct! Hahaha!" Chantha felt so proud of herself.
Violet: "..."
'Sheesh! My Twin Sister got it right!' Violet could only shake her head helplessly.
"Stop flirting with him, Chantha. We are here to capture him." Violet warned her sister and reminded her to stay focused.
Chantha just stuck her tongue out at her Sister Violet before anchoring her arms around Spade's arms. "Cutie, you are now under arrest. Will you be my boyfriend?" Chantha said playfully, winking at him.
Spade: "..."
Spade didn't know whether to laugh or cry. The twin sisters looked alike but their attitudes were very different from each other. Chantha was the playful one while Violet was the serious type.
Before Spade could utter a word, he heard the clicking sound of the cuffs. Chantha already cuffed his hands, not allowing Spade to escape from their grasp.
Chantha leaned closer to him and whispered, "Don't worry, Handsome... I will take good care of you."
Spade didn't know why but her words sent chills down his spine. Chantha said it in a seductive way but he was aware that this woman was already thinking of so many ways on how she would torture him.
'Damn! Why do women become scarier these days?!' Spade wanted to cry just thinking about it. This week he encountered the frightening Abigail, and now, he met Soeung Twins– the scary women from the Syphiruz Mafia.
When they were about to take Spade with them, they heard an update from the other branch through the telephone. Spade's subordinate called the other branch even before Chantha and Violet showed up.
"We are also under attack by an unknown group of men!" One man spoke from the other line.
Chantha and Violet exchanged glances with one another.
"Those men are our men," Chantha said meaningfully. She was referring to their comrades, Joker and Spider.
'Damn it! We are cornered by the Syphiruz. Is this how they attacked the Phantom's Assassin Guild before? A group of tenacious assassins failed to retaliate against the Syphiruz Mafia and they died miserably.' Spade began to realize the power of the Syphiruz Mafia.
"Move now. We have to leave. Our Supreme Leader is expecting a good result soon," Violet motioned Chantha and Spade to leave. The two subordinates could only follow them as Violet cuffed their hands.
They captured other members as Nathan had another plan for them. They would destroy those two hideouts to send a warning to the Red Dragon Mafia. The war between the two Mafia Organizations was now inevitable unless the Red Dragon Mafia would comply with Nathan's demand.
He needed to get Phantomflake no matter what. If Spade was an important person to the Red Dragon Mafia, then he would try to use him for a negotiation. He just wanted Phantomflake to be back to his side.
