Day Seventy-Three...
~~*****~~
[ At Jane's Hideout... ]
Cherry continued chatting with Spade. At first, the two talked about programs, malware, and other computer-related topics. But later on, she began to gather information from him through their casual conversation. Cherry was still pretending to be Sizzling August.
[ Sizzling August: You've mentioned that you are a member of the Red Dragon Mafia. I heard about the rivalry between the Red Dragon Mafia and the Syphiruz Mafia. Can you enlighten me about it? ]
Cherry and Hanabi were both looking at the monitor screen, awaiting Spade's response.
It did not take long before Spade's message popped up on her screen.
[ Spade: You won't believe me. But this rivalry started just because of one woman. ]
"One woman," Hanabi mumbled, furrowing her eyebrows. She couldn't believe that the root cause of the war between those two powerful organizations was because of a woman. "Is she a Helen of Troy?" She couldn't help but commented.
Cherry could only giggle while shrugging her shoulders. "Let's find out more."
She began typing her next message.
[ Sizzling August: A woman? What do you mean by that? Who is this woman? I'm intrigued. ]
"Do you think he's telling the truth?" Hanabi couldn't help but doubt Spade's words.
Cherry let out a soft giggle, giving Hanabi's shoulder a reassuring pat. "Don't worry. We'll find out if he's lying or not. For now, let's keep questioning him. He seems cooperative and is willing to answer any questions I throw at him."
Hanabi sighed, her patience intact. "Okay, I'll be patient. I trust your approach."
"By the way, where's Tatsumi?" Cherry scanned their surroundings but couldn't spot their companion.
At the mention of Tatsumi, Hanabi's expression darkened. "He followed Sis Jane. I bet he's pestering her right now. If it weren't for the mission, I'd have dragged him back here."
"Let's keep asking Spade about his leader. I would like to convince him to stop fighting the Syphiruz. Furthermore, I heard that the Red Dragon Mafia is trying to get alliance with our Clan since they are originally from Country J. We have the same territory." Hanabi urged Cherry to gather more information about the Dragon Lord.
Unknown to Hanabi, she already met him in person. Hanabi would be surprised once she found out that the guy she handcuffed in the hospital before was the Dragon Lord.
"Okay. I got it." Cherry was happy to comply with Hanabi's request.
[ Sizzling August: Spade, do you mind setting me up a date with your leader? My friend wants to meet him in person. ]
[ Spade: Who is your friend? Is your friend a woman or a man? ]
[ Sizzling August: A hot alluring woman ]
Hanabi facepalmed when she saw the exchanges of conversation between Cherry and Spade.
[ Spade: Sure. I'll ask my Boss. But can I also request something from you? ]
[ Sizzling August: Sure. What is it? Tell me. ]
[ Spade: You told me that you recruited Black Rose in your team. Can you also set me a date with her? ]
Cherry: "..."
Hanabi chuckled when she read Spade's last message. "It looks like this boy is infatuated with you. Tsk, tsk, tsk. He is clueless that he is being deceived by his crush. He is currently talking to you, and he isn't aware. I pity him." This time, Hanabi began teasing Cherry.
"How does he look? Is he handsome? Is he your type?" Hanabi asked Cherry once more, playfully nudging her shoulder.
"Hey, Hanabi, you are getting even at me, huh!" Cherry pinched Hanabi's waist. Too bad, Hanabi couldn't feel any pain at all because of her disorder.
"Who is more handsome... Spade or Aiden? Who is your type?" Hanabi teased her further. She heard from Jane that Aiden Wu was also trying to court Cherry. "Whoah! Why are you blushing?"
"No. I'm not." Cherry promptly responded.
