Chapter 180 - My Wedding To Raine

Another day has passed, and Tyrone didn't waste any single idle moment during his stay at Country V. He personally made sure that the mole inside the Moon Clan facilities wouldn't have a problem in completing her mission for Xander. The Mirage Trial would commence soon, and they had to make sure that Xander held any scrap of solid evidence he could find to prove Yun's wrongdoings.

That night, Tyrone subtly followed the mole's movement with Mia's guidance who had access to all the camera footage.

"I think she's on the move based on her body movements," Mia informed Tyrone from her end. "She's been checking the cameras every once in a while."

"Alright. I understand," Tyrone affirmed as he quickly moved closer to the mole's location, making sure to keep enough distance away from her so as to not be suspicious.

"She's currently in Zone Two. Oh… I knew she's now wearing a control maintenance uniform…And she's still good," Mia commented with a wide grin as she watched the mole. The known intruder managed to freeze the cameras, but Mia could still easily unfreeze the cameras if she wanted to. Still, she simply turned her attention to the other cameras and continued watching her move along the system.

The mole vaguely scanned her surroundings, spotting all the hidden cameras near Zone Two. Disguised in a control maintenance uniform, she used the ID she duplicated from one of the staff members to navigate the area. Every movement was precise. She eyed the timer on her watch as she quickly pulled out some of the electrical wires in the control area and connected them to the device that Zach had provided.

Waiting patiently, she sighed as she let the tab reach a hundred percent. She then looked at the wristwatch and took note of her current time window. Thirteen minutes left before the next shift arrives. She was calm and composed as she waited, watching the CCTV footage on her phone for any sort of unwanted attention. Switching feeds, she paled upon seeing someone approaching the Arc Two door.

"Fu*k!" she cursed, seeing the tab at around ninety percent. Nervously, she counted the steps and estimated the amount of time that the man could reach the door. At least a few more minutes. She still had time.

"Faster!" the mole grumbled, immediately disconnecting the device as soon as it reached a hundred percent.

Stashing the tab, she then immediately stepped out from Zone Two and walked back towards her designated area.

"Stop!" 

The mole flinched as she heard the inevitable stern voice. Her heart almost skipped a beat as she stopped right then and there.

"What are you doing here?" the man asked. Based on his uniform, he was one of the security detail stationed on the floor.

The mole was sweating as she quickly thought of a good alibi. She inhaled slowly, turning around when she heard another man speak. 

"What's going on?" 

Shane gulped. The man who had suddenly appeared was Tyrone, Raine's right-hand man. She had recently known about it from her family that the Princess had appointed a right-hand man. As part of her job, she needed to know about any updates on her objectives, especially on the royal family before starting to work back at the Moon Clan facilities.

"I saw this unauthorized person in the area, Sir," the man dutifully reported. He was about to look at the mole more closely, but Tyrone stopped him. 

"You can leave. I asked for her to be here."

Obediently, the man nodded and immediately left. 

After the man had left, Shane looked at Tyrone, utterly relieved. However, she now wondered why he helped her in the first place.

"Go. The next time someone sees you again in an unauthorized area, you will die," Tyrone warned. Without him around, one wrong move on her part would mean her swift demise.

Heeding his advice, Shane nodded and quickly left the area with a relieved sigh. If her family found out how dangerous the work that she was doing…

Another loud exhale came out of her mouth as she entered the restroom where she changed out of her disguise and disposed of them. It was the one place that was safe from the rotating surveillance outside.

As she safely got back out, she still felt conflicted on why Tyrone was there just at the right time… It honestly felt as if he had let her off very easily.

"Did she secure what she needed?" Tyrone asked Mia through their comms.

"Yes. She managed to get all the files they needed," Mia reported. "I think that alone would be enough for them…" 

"Good work, Mia. I'll be leaving the territory to attend to some business, then," Tyrone nodded. "Just call me if there's something important."

Ending the call, he let out a long deep sigh as he walked out of the facility. Looking at them now, there were still a lot of things that he needed to fix from his side.

He was about to enter the elevator when he heard a cough from behind him. Turning around, Janus met his inquisitive eyes.

"You're back. Is Raine with you?" Janus asked with a frown. He really did not like the man that he could not hide his annoyance around his presence. He was back but it seemed that Raine was not with him or else she would already check her father on him.

"No. She's doing something important right now so she's still not around," Tyrone coldly replied. He could sense that Janus was irritated seeing him around but then again the feeling was very mutual.

"I see," the doctor neutrally responded. "Can you tell me when she's coming back?" The elevator doors opened. Tyrone entered, with Janus following behind him.

"I'm not sure. There's no definite date, but she asked me to check on her father's condition every once in a while during my stay here so I will head to the King's quarter and check on him," Tyrone responded as he pressed the button to the floor that King Marcus was on. Of course, Raine did not ask him that but he only wanted to check on Marcus' condition. 

Marcus was in a coma for a long time, more than centuries but his appearance even became younger. His gut was telling him that Janus performed an experiment on the King using samples from mutants but then he would not be able to prove his hunch from Raine. They would only find out the truth once King Marcus woke up and he showed evidence of being not a human.

Janus didn't bother with a comment. There was a charged tension between the two men. In his mind, Janus was busy physically comparing himself to Tyrone.

'He's more lean than me… But aside from that, I'm sure I'm way better!' Janus tried to cheer himself up despite knowing how deep inside he was really threatened by the man standing beside him. Maybe it was because he was beside Raine more often than him? As a man, he could feel that Tyrone liked Raine just the way Tyrone looked at Raine and Janus did not like it, knowing Tyrone had more advantage than him just by merely being close to Raine due to their work.

But then Janus inwardly consoled himself by recalling King Marcus' promise that he would have him as Raine's husband the moment he woke up from his recovery. He firmly held onto the king's words.

Arriving on the floor, they entered the king's room in silence. Tyrone looked closely at the capsule and murmured, "So he will be waking up soon?"

"Yeah. Just a few weeks more, and he's back as new." Janus plainly answered.

"Something seems weird. Did you somehow use any samples from a mutant?" Tyrone directly and casually asked. Janus felt a lump on his throat but he quickly composed himself and answered, "I don't think you're in a position to question the procedure of the king's recovery, and either I'm obliged to answer you."

There was a moment of silence that Janus broke shortly.

"I can't wait for the king to wake up and fulfill his promise. He promised my wedding to Raine will follow as soon as he wakes up…" Janus straightforwardly stated.

Tyrone turned at Janus with a dim expression as he grunted, "Is Raine aware of this?"

Janus met his stare with a proud smile, "She'll soon know once the King wakes up. Raine will never disobey her father, whom she loves more than her own life… And no one in our clan is more fit to marry the princess other than myself."

Tyrone had a wry smile as he challenged, "Are you sure about that?"

Janus frowned at the other man's provoking tone.

"Raine is mine. Try stealing her from me if you can…" Tyrone firmly goaded before turning around to leave the room, leaving the other man totally flabbergasted with what he just said.
