Day Twenty Eight...
~~*****~~
The DNA Test matched.
Nathan was taken aback for a moment. This only meant that Abigail was related to the Yan Family. She came from a wealthy family.
"Whose DNA sample was this?" Nathan asked Joker.
Chantha, Violet, and Stephen looked at Nathan and Joker, darting their gazes back and forth between the two men.
"Alyssa Yan... the late sister of Madam Priyanshi Patel. They kept Lady Alyssa's blood sample and cells. I was able to steal some samples," Joker informed them.
"So... Abigail Scarlett is the missing daughter of Alyssa Yan," Nathan mumbled. He started to speculate in his mind that Abigail's assassination attempt might be related to this revelation. Maybe, someone wanted to hide or bury her existence.
The Yan Family Patriarch only had two daughters, Priyanshi and Alyssa. Since Priyanshi was married to the Patel Family, Old Master Yan was thinking of making Alyssa's missing daughter, the heiress of the Yan Family Business. He wanted to give her the 80% of his inheritance.
Nathan was slowly connecting the dots. He suspected that someone wanted to stop Old Master Yan from finding his missing granddaughter. If the Yan Patriarch couldn't find Alyssa's daughter, his wealth would be divided among his siblings, including Priyanshi. One of them might be after the inheritance.
"Yes, Supreme Leader!" Joker promptly responded.
Chantha gasped in surprise while Violet and Stephen had baffled looks on their faces. The Yan Family belonged to the wealthiest and most influential families in Country M. Who would have thought that Abigail was part of that family?
"What are you planning to do now, Nate? Will you inform Madam Priyanshi about this? Abigail doesn't even know about this." Stephen wondered what Nathan would do after discovering this shocking truth.
"Oh my Gosh! Abigail is not an ordinary woman! She is an heiress!" Chantha blurted out exasperatedly.
Violet could only nod her head. She hadn't expected this as well.
Nathan took his time, contemplating what he should do. He had several things to consider regarding this situation. They didn't know who wanted Abigail dead. Was it really her relatives? As of now, he couldn't compromise her safety.
"I will keep this a secret for now. Don't tell anyone about this. No one should know about Abigail's identity. We need to find out first who tried to kill her. There is a possibility that a jealous and greedy relative might be behind the assassination attempt which was disguised as a suicide." Nathan finally made up his decision.
Chantha: "Okay, Master!
Joker: "Yes, Supreme Leader."
Violet: "Got it, sir!"
Stephen just bobbed his head in agreement.
"Now, let's talk about another thing." Nathan changed the topic. He didn't want his comrades to think that he was getting more involved with Abigail's matter. "We will commence another mission... taking back Phantomflake. I finally got the exact address of the Red Dragon Mafia's Sanitarium. We can make a move now."
[ Cliste: An old friend of yours... ]
Abigail's hand reflexively typed those words and sent them to Nathan. Part of her wanted to reveal that she was his old friend... the mentee whom he trained to be a hacker. She was his playing buddy.
Meanwhile, Nathan ignored her words saying she was his old friend. He was thinking that maybe she was referring to Ethan, not him. As far as he could remember, he didn't have any interaction with this person.
[ SizzlingAugust: the Address you sent... How did you know that I was searching for it? ]
Nathan was dying to ask her this question. He just verified it. The address truly exists. He contacted some people in Country J and someone confirmed that members of the Red Dragon Mafia could be seen in that area.
[ Cliste: Because I just know. By the way, can I ask you something? ]
Abigail had another reason for communicating with Nathan. She wanted to know what happened in the past. Why did Nathan suddenly disappear and stop communicating with her? He didn't even say goodbye. She thought they were real friends but she felt like she was abandoned by him. She was truly hurt.
[ SizzlingAugust08: Go on! ]
[ Cliste: Do you know Shining_Star? ]
Nathan's eyes widened at the mention of that account. It was Monica's account. Who was this person? Was this person related to Monica? How come he couldn't remember her account?
[ SizzlingAugust08: Yes. I know her. Why? What is your relationship with her? Are you her friend? ]
[ Cliste: Yes, she is my friend. And she had been looking for you. Why did you suddenly stop talking to her? ]
Abigail was not able to control her curiosity. Though she couldn't tell him that she was Shining_Star, Abigail would like to hear the reason why Nathan cut their ties and disappeared for a long time.
[ SizzlingAugust08: You are lying. You are not her friend. Why are you pretending that you know her? ]
A cold glint flashed through Nathan's eyes. He was wondering why Cliste was bringing the past up. He already explained everything to Shining_Star the reason why he stopped talking to her.
[ Cliste: Why do you think I'm lying? Are you not interested to know where she is right now? ]
Abigail just wanted to know if Nathan could still remember her or if he cared about her. Was he interested to know about her current whereabouts? Surprisingly, Abigail received a different reaction from Nathan.
[ SizzlingAugust08: Don't ever use her name! Stop fooling around... Shining_Star is dead! She is gone! ]
Abigail was at a loss for words when she read Nathan's message. 'What did he say? Don't tell me... he is thinking that I am dead?! But why?!!'
[ Cliste: You Fool! She is not dead yet! ]
