Before Nathan entered the hideout, Axel made sure to secure the spots of their snipers. They couldn't afford to lower their guard. Axel was cautious in taking action against the Phantom Assassin Guild.
Besides, Phantomflake was a formidable foe. She had the ability to take down several men alone. How much more if they prepared a trap to ambush Nathan and his men?
"Have you secured the area?" Axel asked his subordinates through their communication device.
"Yes, sir. We are in position. You and our Supreme Leader can now enter the hideout with ease." a sniper reassured Axel.
Axel turned to Nathan, giving him a go signal. Nathan didn't waste his time as he entered the mansion with a cold aura emanating from him.
Still holding the gun, his eyes swept the surroundings. Then his gaze locked on the figure who stepped out of the room. It was Phantomflake. She stopped on her track as she stood at the top of the staircase of the second floor.
The atmosphere was filled with heavy tension as soon as Jane showed up. However, her demeanor was a bit different from what they expected.
Members of the Syphiruz Mafia pointed their guns at Jane, observing her thoroughly. As they watched her, they couldn't deny the fact that Phantomflake possessed a bewitching beauty.
Her posture exuded elegance that could mesmerize anyone. They couldn't sense her usual chilly and frightening aura as a deadly assassin. There was no trace of fear in her eyes even though she was surrounded by enemies, several weapons pointing at her.
What surprised them the most was the moment Jane's lips tugged upward into a charming smile, her eyes fixed on Nathan's face covered with a mask.
Even Nathan was drawn into her emerald eyes. He couldn't look away.
'Why is she smiling? Is she mocking me?'
Their staring moment was interrupted when Axel suddenly spoke up.
"Phantomflake, you are now surrounded by our men. Surrender now! Drop your weapons." Axel moved forward, shielding Nathan using his body.
Everyone was focused on Jane, anticipating what she would do next. They stayed alert since they were expecting a counterattack from her and her guild members.
But to their surprise, Jane raised her hands as a sign of her surrendering. She even removed her daggers and dropped her gun on the floor in front of everyone.
'He is here. Nate is alive here. Thank you, Bam-Bam.' Jane's eyes suddenly became teary as she couldn't control her emotions.
Nathan's death was still fresh in her memory. She thought she would never see him again. So this moment was like a dream. A dream she never wanted to end.
Her steps became faster as she approached Nathan. Thinking she was going to attack, Axel prepared himself to protect Nathan.
"Axel, Move!" Jane commanded him with her authoritative voice. She was annoyed since Axel tried to block her.
Axel was caught off guard when Jane casually called his name as if she had known him for so long.
'Eh? How did she know my name? Did she investigate us, doing background checks on every prominent member of the Syphiruz Mafia?'
Meeting Jane's cold warning glare, Axel instinctively moved to the side. He was also surprised as to why he obeyed Jane. His body just moved on its own accord.
Realizing his mistake, Axel reached out to hold Jane's shoulder. However, before he could touch her, Jane swiftly moved, closing the gap between Nathan and her.
And in just a blink of an eye, Jane tiptoed, cupping his face as she pressed her lips against Nathan's lips. Jane just shamelessly stole a kiss from Nathan in front of his subordinates!
Axel: "..."
Members of the Syphiruz: "..."
Everyone was flabbergasted when they witnessed this scene. The deadly assassin dared to kiss their Supreme Leader! What a bold move from Phantomflake?!!
Nathan also got frozen in his spot when Jane took the initiative to kiss him. He was supposed to push her away but Jane held his face firmly, not letting him go.
Then suddenly, he saw her tears streaming down her cheeks as she kissed him passionately, her lips gently brushing his.
"Oh my God! Am I really seeing this?" Black Rose rubbed her eyes in disbelief.
"Sis Phantomflake is kissing the handsome devil?!" She blurted out once more.
"Is this her secret move?! Is she feeding him poison using her mouth?!"
