Chapter 794 Top Priority Mission
Day Eighty-Three...
~~*****~~
Nathan's office was silent, filled with a tense, foreboding atmosphere. Stripped of his CEO position, Nathan no longer occupied the space. Instead, Vincent stood by the large glass window, looking out over the city.
His face was twisted in anger and frustration. He had just learned about Nathan marrying Jane. It only meant that Jane already accepted Nathan's marriage proposal. 'Does Mr. Hiroshi know about this? Has he approved it? How about the engagement between Jane and Tatsumi?' Vincent was still confused. He hadn't confirmed it yet. But by observing Nathan's earlier, he could tell that he was not bluffing. The news had put him in a foul mood, and his mind was racing with thoughts of revenge. He turned abruptly and pressed a button on his desk, summoning his right-hand man, Phoenix. Vincent also kicked out Axel so his right-hand man stayed by his side.
'He thinks I will let him do what he wants. No way. He can't just have her. He has another thing coming.' Vincent murmured to himself.
A few seconds later, Phoenix entered the room swiftly, sensing the dark aur surrounding his big boss. "You called for me, Boss?"
"Yes, Phoenix. It's time we send a message to Nathan and his precious Syphiruz Mafia. I want them to feel the heat from all sides. Mobilize our men. Target their operations worldwide. Leave no stone unturned. We should keep him busy!" Vincent commanded in his stern cold voice.
Phoenix nodded and asked for specific objective. "Understood, Boss. What's the primary goal?" Vincent smirked slyly and replied, "Chaos, Phoenix! I want chaos. Hit their routes, their arms shipments, and their financial businesses. Destroy their headquarters and main facilities.Target their branch leaders. Kidnap them. Make sure Nathan is too busy putting out fires to think about his wedding."
Phoenix nodded again and left the room, quickly dialing his phone to relay the orders. Vincent sat down on his executive chair, opening his phone only to reveal a photo of Jane. His expression softened for a moment before hardening once more.
"You should have been mine, Jane. I won't let him take you away. You, Mia and I should be a happy family. I can give you anything. A complete family."
Vincent was aiming for something he couldn't have— Jane's love. Her heart only belonged to Nathan.
Three hours later...
The surprise attack of King Stallion Mafia had started, showing a series of rapid, high-intensity scenes of Vincent's men executing his orders around the globe.
Syphiruz Mafia Medical Facility - Country R
Vincent's men stormed a Syphiruz drug lab, setting fire to the building as workers fled in panic.
"Understood sir. How about the SYP Twilight Corp? Are you letting Vincent have this company? Chairman Xu will be heartbroken once he wakes up and learns about this." Axel asked Nathan.
"Don't worry about it. The company will not disappear. I'm just letting my half brother borrow it for a while. Axel, there is an important task I want you to do for me. This is our priority." Nathan became more serious.
"What is it, Boss?" Axel asked with intrigue.
"The spy. Vincent's mole. We need to catch him. Someone close to us is doing the work for him. The SYP Twilight Corp's system can't be hacked by an outsider. There is a traitor among us. Catching him is our top priority." Nathan gave his command.
Axel nodded. "Copy, Boss. Leave this task to me. I will do everything to catch the traitor."
Nathan was about to hang up the call when Axel spoke again.
"Boss..."
"Hmm?"
"What if Joker is the traitor? He betrayed us once. He can do it again." Axel expressed his suspicion.
But Nathan had already cleared Joker's name from the list of traitors. "No. It can't be him. I can guarantee it. Joker is not stupid to do the same mistake. I gave him another chance and he proved his worth and loyalty to me. The traitor is not Joker."
Axel fell silent for a moment. This only meant that maybe one of their comrades could be a traitor. Then Chantha's face popped up in his mind. 'What should I do if it turns out that Chantha is the traitor? Can I punish her?' Axel pondered to himself.
He was supposed to tell Nathan about the good news. He already proposed to Chantha and she accepted it. But things got chaotic again. He didn't get the chance to share this news to their comrades. And now, one of them might be a traitor.
"How about me, Boss. Do you trust me? Aren't you suspecting me?" Axel asked Nathan out of the blue.
There was a moment of silence on the other line before Nathan gave his response.
"If I don't trust you, Axel, do you think I will still give you this important task? You are like my brother, Axel. I know... you will never betray me." Nathan declared with confidence.
Axel was grateful when he heard that yet his heart still felt heavy. He could feel the gravity of this mission. It was hard to accept that one of their comrades was betraying them again.
"Thank you, Boss for your trust. I will do my best to catch this traitor. I will clear the names of my fellow comrades." Axel said with conviction.
