Chapter 394 - 392: J's Tough Sacrifice

After hearing the man, President Williams reluctantly left the room.

He then removed the cloak over his head revealing the face of an innocent looking man whom at first glance you'd think he could not kill a mosquito with his hands.

This room had no cameras therefore, he was confident that no one could see his face and could detect his presence just in case.

He then shoved his hand over his pocket and grabbed something.

It was a photograph. It's uncertain of who was actually in the photo whether it was Eunji or Anastasia.

Then he grabbed a packet of cigarette from the other side of hid pocket and lit it up with the lighter.

After some time, he pressed the tip of the cigarette on the photograph burning it in the process. After he had his smoke, he then grabbed his phone and called someone else's phone number.

"Sir Su Ying, I have finally met President Williams."

The distorted voice in the other line answered, "Good! Make sure to prepare everyone of my return."

A devilish smile flashed on his lips as he spoke, "Don't worry Sir, I already did. I have also seen her, Sir. She's more beautiful in person."

"Hades, don't be fooled by her appearance. Though that's only a clone she's more dangerous than you think." He reminded him.

"I understand, Sir! I'll keep that in mind."

"Also, when I come out from prison, I want my grandson to be on my side. I want you to convince Jie to agree on helping us."

"I understand, Sir. I'll personally look for him myself and will make sure that he will fulfill his duties as your grandson."

A laugh then echoed on the other line.

"Good! I know I can count on you, Hades."

"Sir, I owe you my life. And I have made a vow to devote myself to serve you."

"Hahahahah!"

"Hades, this is just the beginning of my comeback. I have sent you there to gather and organize everyone. Soon, I'll be the most influential man in the whole world. And no one could easily trample and mock me for being a mere assistant."

"As your subordinate, I only wish for your success, Sir!"

Meanwhile, back in the room, their conversation went on.

Eunji just shrugged her shoulder as she didn't pay much attention about the Hades guy. From his name, he seemed dangerous. However, for her, no one is more dangerous than someone who would not hesitate to betray her.

"You seemed unbothered by it."

"Why should I not? He's probably one of his pawn that I should defeat when I see him. He's not Su Ying. Therefore, he's not worthy of my attention."

However, before they could even finish their conversation, they heard hurried steps from the outside. Edric placed a finger on her lips to silence her.

They both sighed when they heard them passed by their current position.

"Alora, what's going on?"

"Let me check." Then seconds after, Alora reported, "I don't know, Eomma. Maybe, it's just routine check by the guards."

"I see."

Then, something crossed her mind and she asked Alora to call J.

***

J had decided to leave the KSA headquarters and book a flight to Italy to be with Eunji. He wanted to be there to protect her against his grandfather.

He had a bad feeling that both of the sister's lives were in danger. But then, while he was on the way to the airport, he received a call from Eunji.

"Eunji!"

"J, where are you?" Eunji's voice sounded from the other line.

"I...I'm on my way to the airport." He told her honestly.

"And where are you going?"

"To Italy."

Upon hearing this, Eunji immediately stopped him, "No! J, you have to go back."

"Go back? Why should I go back?" J's hold on the steering wheel then, he continued, "You're in danger. I have to be there for you."

J was anxious as he was very worried about her. This was the third time she had to fake her death. It won't work the next time.

"Oh no J. Believe it or not, it's better that you'll stay back. I have to remain dead in the eyes of my enemies. Your decision to leave KSA's headquarters might tick them off that something's wrong and might look into the matter."

Jin Jie remained silent as he thought things over.

Eunji sighed as she knew J was probably thinking about it.

"J, I'm sorry. I know that you're worried. Don't worry, I'll be fine. I'm not alone in this battle. I have your prayers, to win this fight, right."

"I'm sorry, Eunji. I didn't think about the consequences of my actions. Alright, I'll go back."

Eunji sighed as she didn't want J to be upset, too. But if he showed up while she was in there, his sudden appearance might only bring trouble for her and probably for Anastasia.

"Thank you, J. Don't worry, I have the other KSA agents here. And I have Alora, too. So, I'll be fine."

J had no other choice but to go back to where he came from. But little did he know, he won't be able to go back.

Five cars immediately surrounded the car when he was driving by the bridge. Having no other choice, J stopped the car and so did his pursuers.

Seconds after, men in bonnets and high caliber firearms got out from those cars. J did not turn off the engine when he stopped the car and so he stomped his foot on the accelerator.

He knew who these people were. They were bad news for him. If he's not mistaken, they were his grandfather's people. And they were after him.

There's no way he would let these people to capture him alive and would turn him into their robot and forced him to go against Eunji.

He closed his eyes as he turned the steering wheel towards the railings of the bridge. And seconds after, J's car hit the railing and fell off the bridge and dove down into the sea creating a big splash on the water below.

Everything happened so fast that they were not able to react quickly.

They ran towards the railing and they saw the car sinking on the water creating bubbles on the surface.

Just then, the leader of the team received a call, "Boss, bad news! Master Jie's car fell off the bridge."

"What?!" The person on the other line furiously scolded them.

"Save him! Or else, Sir Su would want all of your heads in exchange!"

After the call, the man called Hades. "Hades, something happened to Master Jie."

"Find ways to save him. Should you all fail, expect your heads to be delivered here in Italy!"

Hades was so serious that the man talking to him paled instantly.

Of course he knew who Hades was. He had been ruthless. And if he had been with Su Ying inside the prison all these years, then, he might be as ruthless as their biggest boss.

Meanwhile, Eunji had no idea of what had happened to Jin Jie.

He was with Nathan who was hugging her all this while.

"What are you thinking?" Eunji asked him as she reached out on his face.

"Nothing. I just miss you so much. I love you."

"I love you too, Nate. I just wish that this will be the last battle we have to face together."

"Me, too."

Unfortunately, there's Su Ying still.

"Love, I want to be with you while you're here. I don't feel comfortable without me by your side." Nathan made his wish.

"But...don't you have to stay with Mr. Alinsky?"

"He's your grandfather, love."

"But I don't recognize him as my grandfather." She honestly said. After all, this man had hurt her mother so much. And he was indirectly involved in that incident that night.

"What if, he'd come to you and ask for forgiveness?"

"I don't know. I'm no saint. He's indeed a family but is he worth it?"

Nathan smiled as he looked at her. "Okay. Take your time. No one's going to pressure you to accept him."

"Who told you that I'm being pressured? I'll be on my own pace when dealing with him. And besides, he didn't even know that I exist."

Then, she threw her arms around his nape and smiled at him, "Just go and do your part. He might get suspicious if he saw that you're not around. If I'm not mistaken, all of the people here probably knew that you're already inside the premises."

"You're right. Sir Alinsky could be easily suspicious and I did tell him that I'm here."

Before they separated, they shared another kiss.

Back in the grandstand, everyone were on their seats as they continued watching the game. The final game was the players had to face their inner-self.

They had to defeat and overcome the worst version of themselves.

"Ladies and gentlemen, we're now on the last phase of the competition. Whom do you think will lose from this game? The players seemed nervous. But will their nervousness helps them in winning this?" The game commentator announced.

"I'm very excited Partner! I never expect that this would be their first game. I have covered these conference for years and it's all physical combats. Never in this genre."

"You're right partner. I'd like to think President Williams for being this innovative."

Nathan who was walking beside Eunji who was now back on her Demi mode chuckled upon hearing this.

"Someone's trying to take credits away from you, love."

"Just let him be. Time will come that he'd be soon back to where he originally came from. And I'll make sure that he'll lose everything just like Francais and your good friend Frederick."
