Day Seventy-Six...

~~*****~~

[ At Hiroshi's Villa... ]

Mr. Hiroshi felt relieved when Jane obediently followed Kazuki. But Kazuki informed him that Jane went to see Nathan to say goodbye. "Are you done packing some stuff for our travel tomorrow?" Mr. Hiroshi asked his daughter, assessing her. Jane was smiling at him tenderly so he assumed that Nathan didn't say a thing to her.

"Pa, I don't have to pack. Besides, we will go back here the day after tomorrow, am I right?" Jane sat beside her father.

Mr. Hiroshi just smiled faintly, hesitant to say yes. If only she would agree, then he would like her to stay in Country J, preventing her from seeing Nathan frequently. 'I wonder if she can learn to love Tatsumi... giving him a chance. He is a good man. A very devoted man.' Mr. Hiroshi pondered to himself.

"By the way, Pa... I have something to confess." Jane took his hand as she cast a meaningful look at him.

"Sure, what is it, my dear?" Mr. Hiroshi stared at him intently, bracing himself for what she was about to say. "Pa... the truth is... I have another identity... a secret identity." Jane confessed to him. Despite knowing that her father was already aware of her role as a professional assassin, she felt compelled to directly disclose it to prevent any potential misconceptions. However, she made the conscious decision to omit any mention of Nathan and the Syphiruz Mafia.

"Pa... the truth is... I have another identity... a secret identity." Jane confessed to him. Despite knowing that her father was already aware of her role as a professional assassin, she felt compelled to directly disclose it to prevent any potential misconceptions. However, she made the conscious decision to omit any mention of Nathan and the Syphiruz Mafia.

"Pa... I'm a professional assassin. Phantomflake is my alias." She disclosed.

Mr. Hiroshi was caught off guard by her sudden confession. Though he was waiting for this moment, he hadn't expected her to divulge her secret to him today.

He frowned in suspicion. He wondered if meeting Nathan triggered her to reveal her secret identity.

"I know you are shocked upon hearing this. Do you hold any resentment toward who I used to be?" Jane asked softly.

"Of course not!" Mr. Hiroshi promptly responded, holding her shoulders. "You are my daughter. I will never hate you. You have to blame me for what happened in the past, not yourself."

Mr. Hiroshi was at a loss for words as he watched Jane in amusement and disbelief.

"Is this part of your revenge?" He finally found his voice to speak up.

Jane just smiled playfully as she nodded her head.

The old man was rendered speechless once again.

However, little did he know, Jane had just indirectly told him that she couldn't afford to be separated from Nathan in the next twenty-four days. This was the ultimatum given by Bam-Bam.

In doing so, she created the impression that her revenge was aimed at Nathan. However, her true motive was entirely different – to win over Nathan's affections, stealing his heart away and imprisoning him with her love.

Internally, Mr. Hiroshi began to hesitate. Doubts started to emerge about his decision to keep them apart. He questioned whether his actions were hindering Jane's plan for revenge against Nathan.

What a clever woman! She just made her father waver from his prior resolve.

"Pa, one last thing! Can you arrange a meeting with the leader of the Red Dragon Mafia and their ally, the King Stallion Mafia? I will represent our clan to attend this meeting. I plan on negotiating with them." Jane grabbed this opportunity to maximize the influence of their clan to build a connection with those two mafia organizations who were trying to bring Syphiruz Mafia down.

"Okay, dear. I can arrange that. Where do you want to meet them? In Country J or here?" Mr. Hiroshi consulted her.

"We can do that in Country J." Jane chose the foreign country because she was worried that Nathan would be upset once he found out she met those two leaders. She would like also to test whether Vincent would show up in person or he would just send his representative.

'I'm trying to lure my real target.' Jane thought to herself.

"Consider it done, my princess." Mr. Hiroshi reassured her.

"Pa, thanks again for accepting me and my dark sides wholeheartedly. I am a bit tired today. I'll just go to my room and rest. Can you warn everyone not to disturb me?" Jane yawned, pretending to be sleepy. She just moved to her next plan– Sneaking out of the house to meet Nathan.

"Sure. I'll make sure no one will disrupt your beauty rest, my princess. Go upstairs now."

"Thanks, Pa! You are the best!" She said cheerfully, trying to conceal her excitement. 'Yes. I'm going on an official date with Nathan!'
