Day Thirty...
~~*****~~
[ At St. Benedict Memorial Hospital... ]
The Red Dragon Mafia and the Syphiruz Mafia were set to meet at 7:00 pm in Orion Port. They would exchange hostages. The Dragon Lord changed the time. Instead of meeting them this morning, he arranged to do the negotiation in the evening. This was favorable for them.ReAd latest chapters at novelhall.com Only
Since the scheduled time was changed, Nathan had to wait before implementing his plan. Little did he know, Kathleen was already following him secretly. Nathan stayed in the hospital where the Red Dragon Mafia transferred Phantomflake.
Nathan had been roaming around the hospital. The hospital was a public hospital. He could tell that this was the Dragon Lord's strategy to mislead him. If not for Cliste's intel, he wouldn't think that the Red Dragon Mafia would hide Phantomflake in this small and public hospital.
When he visited Phantomflake's ward, he observed that only two men were standing outside as guards. The Dragon Lord mobilized his men and sent them to the Orion Port, leaving only two guards in Phantomflake's ward. Only Nathan came to the hospital. He didn't bring anyone inside the hospital so that he wouldn't attract unwanted attention.
"The Dragon Lord is a cunny person as well," Nathan mumbled, smirking inwardly as he watched the two guards from afar. "However, I am wiser than him," he added.
Nathan turned around and looked for a hiding place in the hospital. He already familiarized the in and out of the hospital. He already took note of the possible escape route.
He went to the hospital cafeteria and spent his time planning for his next move. He pulled out his phone from his pocket to check Axel and Chantha. He knew that his team was also preparing to meet the enemy.
Nathan typed his message for Axel.
[ Nathan: Is everything fine on your end? ]
Axel responded right away.
"Stop looking gloomy. Trust me... we will save them both." Axel softly mumbled, trying to comfort her. Chantha just looked at him with a sad expression. "If you don't trust me then just trust our Supreme Leader..."
After saying that, Axel raised his phone and brought it in front of Chantha's face, showing Nathan's message to her. He thought maybe Nathan's worries and concerns for Chantha could cheer her up. As far as he knew Nathan was Chantha's ultimate crush.
Chantha's lips immediately curled up into a smile after reading Nathan's message. She felt touched seeing Nathan's message. Just like Axel, she had never expected that Nathan would worry about her and express his concern.
'I knew it. Our Supreme Leader is the only one who can cheer her up. When I asked her to trust me... she just gave me a sad look. But when it comes to our Supreme Leader, she immediately smiles...' Axel didn't know why but he felt disappointed just thinking about this. 'Can't she rely on me?' he lamented in his mind.
"Thanks, Axel..." Chantha said in a low voice.
Axel could only bob his head. "You're welcome."
The two were engulfed in an awkward silence once again after Axel spoke up.
Meanwhile, back at the hospital, Nathan was still waiting for the exchange to happen. After contacting Axel, he stood up and left the cafeteria. He searched for the two members of the Syphiruz who were already in disguised.
After a few minutes, Nathan received a message from his subordinate. They were in the Staff Locker room. Nathan headed to their location right away. He was not aware that Kathleen had been observing him for a while now.
"What is he doing here? Is Stephen hospitalized here?" Kathleen kept walking while hiding her presence from Nathan. She kept looking around but she didn't see Stephen at all.
"I wonder why he kept passing through the same ward a while ago. And I saw two men guarding the ward. I will check who is the person admitted to that ward." With that thought in mind, Kathleen had this crazy idea to find out who was the patient in that ward.
Kathleen stole a nurse uniform and disguised herself as one of the hospital staff. Pretending to be the nurse in charge of the patient in VIP Room #245, the two bodyguards allowed Kathleen to enter the room.
Upon seeing the patient, Kathleen gasped in surprise. 'What?! The patient is a woman?! Is she related to Nathan? A secret lover perhaps?'
