Chapter 708 Stop Them From Seeing Each Other
Day Seventy-Five...
~~*****~~
"With all due respect, Master... may I know the reason why you are doing this?" Hanabi needed to hear the reason because she was torn between Mr. Hiroshi's command and Jane's decision.
Kazuki took a deep breath, a look of disappointment evident on his face. Meanwhile, Mr. Hiroshi clenched his fists before he shared the information with Hanabi.
"Hanabi, I hope you can keep this because I want to protect my daughter. And as long as she doesn't want to share her secret, I will not force her. I am going to wait until she is ready to tell me everything..." Mr. Hiroshi started, glancing at Hanabi meaningfully.
Hanabi, on the other hand, could feel the heavy tension inside the study room. It has been so long since the last time she saw their clan leader looking so serious and angry like this.
"Jane is also known as Phantomflake. She was raised to become an assassin." Mr. Hiroshi revealed Jane's other identity. But to their surprise, Hanabi didn't even flinch when she heard this. She just blinked her eyes as she bit her lower lip.
'Oh Damn! They found out Sis Jane's Identity.' Hanabi thought to herself.
Meanwhile, Kazuki watched Hanabi suspiciously. "Are you not surprised? Don't tell me... you already know this?"
Mr. Hiroshi's eyebrows furrowed in a deep frown. He gave Hanabi a questioning look.
"Yes... Sis Jane told me the truth about her other identity. Tatsumi is also aware of this," Hanabi confessed to the two old men. She couldn't lie to them especially now that this seemed to be a serious matter.
"How about you, Uncle Kazuki... Master...? How did you learn the truth?" Hanabi threw the question back to them.
"It's the Dragon Lord of the Red Dragon Mafia. He is the one who revealed the truth. Furthermore, he also informed us about the conflict between the Phantom Assassin Guild and the Syphiruz Mafia. Your Sis Jane... our Lady Jane suffered a lot because of Nathan Sparks and his organization. Now, do you understand why our Clan Leader decided to do this?" Kazuki spoke spontaneously. He couldn't stop himself from releasing all this information at once.
Hanabi was at a loss for words. However, there was no hint of surprise in her expression. She already knew the story between Jane and Nathan.
"Ahmm... Master, permission to talk," Kazuki raised his hand.
Mr. Hiroshi just nodded his head as his go signal.
"What do you plan to do with the Red Dragon Mafia? Will you consider forming an alliance with the Dragon Lord?" Kazuki asked him curiously. He needed to know his plan. Kazuki received a message from the Dragon Lord. He was sending their two comrades back.
"Red Dragon Mafia?" Mr. Hiroshi paused for a moment, rubbing his chin. "I must admit that he won today. He managed to stir a conflict between Nathan and me. I know their goal. They deliberately revealed this truth to me so that I would break the alliance with the Syphiruz because he wanted me to acknowledge the Red Dragon Mafia."
"I won't let him use me as a tool. I won't form any alliance with them. He dares use my daughter to provoke me. Whoever uses my daughters for their own benefits will never be my ally."
Kazuki and Hanabi were both satisfied when they heard that from their Clan Leader. Mr. Hiroshi had a point. The Red Dragon Mafia took advantage of Jane's situation to instigate discord between the Sawada Clan and the Syphiruz Mafia.
The motive was crystal clear– an orchestrated attempt to provoke animosity, heighten tensions, and create chaos within the clan and its ally. Their enemies had exploited Jane's vulnerable situation, utilizing it as a catalyst for their own nefarious agenda.
"Master! I'll support you on that!" Hanabi blurted out cheerfully.
"Me too!" Kazuki also expressed his support.
"Alright. We still have a lot of things to do. For my one last command... listen to me carefully." Mr. Hiroshi had additional command for both of them.
"What is it, Master?" Both of them spoke in unison.
"Don't let Nathan Spark get near Jane for now. I don't want to see him together with my daughter. Stop them from seeing each other. Understand?"
"Copy, Master!" Kazuki responded.
Hanabi just nodded her head in response. 'Oh my. I don't think this will be an easy task. I can stop Nathan but how can I stop my Sis Jane from seeing Nathan? Am I courting death?'
