Chapter 182 - Find The Truth Behind Her Past

After about five minutes, Tyrone finally drove towards his destination after ensuring that no one was still following him. The favorite hang-out place of his dear nephew was about an hour away from the Capital City and was located on a mountain just beyond the outskirts of the city. 

After stopping his car in an old ruined building at a hill, he ignored the signage of 'Caution: Wildlife Area' as he made another call. 

"I'm here…" he snorted with a hint of annoyance as soon as his call was answered. 

From the other line, there was a brief chuckle from the man before he spoke, "What are you waiting for? I already reinstated your authority for access inside, you hopeless love dog!"

Tyrone irritatedly drove his car to the entrance spot, where he was scanned before descending down underneath the ground on a massive elevator. It was an underground hide-out of his nephew. His 'safe heaven,' as he called this creepy place. The brute removed his access at the place after their last fight.

Exiting his car, Tyrone saw him waiting for him by the entrance of his cave with a glass of red drink in his hand.

"Gross…" he mumbled with a twitch on his face. 

His nephew simply chuckled at his disdain, "What? Do you prefer watching me sucking and drinking directly into someone's skin? So… what do you want, huh?"

Tyrone ignored him and directly entered the cave's entrance. Inside, the cave was equipped and made with modern technologies running along its walls. His nephew was very good with technologies, he must say. He was the brain of Umbra Security Agency, the Chairman. 

"Aren't you living comfortably while Kiran is working his as*s off?!" Tyrone scoffed as he walked directly to the bar and got himself a drink.

"Hah! And what about you?! Ah, I guess you too are working your as*s off in being a lover boy for the enemy?!" his nephew mocked. Like Tyrone expected, his nephew still could not accept how things turned out. And he perfectly understood him yet… there were things so beyond his control, like, falling in love.

Tyrone's face darkened as he mumbled, "Things just happened unexpectedly."

There was a loud scoff, "Ah, but didn't I warn you right from the start? Yet you still insisted on having it your way with the so-called saying of 'keep your enemies closer?" His nephew shook his head with a shrug. "So what are you going to do now, huh?! How could we even convince the entire society not to pursue this war that we arranged against the Moon Clan? Because I'm pretty sure you're here to convince me not to proceed, right? Damn! This is why you shouldn't have a beating heart!!!"

"She's my mate and I won't let her go no matter what," Tyrone growled. "I'm willing to do everything… sacrifice anything for her," he helplessly stated, his aggression fading before taking a drink of the whiskey in his glass.

There was another sarcastic laugh as Tyrone's nephew mumbled wryly, "You sound so hopelessly in love… Your mate? I'm sure you recognize her scent right from the start knowing her identity, yet you still accepted the offer to work with her and be close with her. What a way to torture yourself, my dear Uncle! You're hopeless that you're ruining years of actual planning just because of a woman! And the worst part is that she's Marcus's daughter."

"She's not his real daughter… She's not of Marcus's blood, so I want to save her," Tyrone declared. "Although, it'll be hard considering the strong bond she has with Marcus as her father."

"What do you mean?" his nephew asked.

"You have to help me search for what really happened when Raine was born and how she ended up in Marcus's custody. Something doesn't sit right with me since Raine had a twin… And that twin came from an indigenous isolated island somehow. You're the only one who could help me find the truth behind her past. Please…" Tyrone begged.

There was a frustrated sigh from his nephew as he spoke, "It's so unlike you to beg like this… Look, I'll do what I can and help you in this, but this won't mean that I'm agreeing with us not attacking the Moon Clan. We both lost everything dear to us because of Marcus. And he and all his followers must die. We must claim back what is rightfully ours."

Tyrone heaved a long sigh and whispered, "Let me try talking with Marcus first once he wakes up."

"Once he wakes up?! Seriously? Do you want to wait for him to wake up when we can just let him sleep forever! Do you hear yourself now?! Dammit! I won't hear any more words from you regarding this matter. I want Marcus dead, and no one would stop me, not even you!"

Tyrone did not say a word knowing it would be a waste of time only.

"I will just call you once I find anything about your precious so-called mate…"

"Raine is different from Marcus and I'm sure you know that, so treat her with respect. Even it was just a simple mentioning of her name!" Tyrone scolded with a frown.

There was another sigh before Tyrone's nephew spoke, "You said it yourself… She has a strong bond with Marcus as a father. And like I said… I won't back down to whoever block my way in killing Marcus."

"No one is stopping you from killing Marcus, but if you dare touch a single strand on Raine's hair…" Tyrone, with a heavy heart, murmured.

"Damn you and your stupid heart! Fine! I will kill Marcus without touching a single strand on your mate's hair!" Tyrone's nephew scoffed annoyingly, making Tyrone laugh.

Tyrone walked towards him and patted the man's shoulder, "That's right. Be good, okay? I'm still your Uncle after all."

The annoyed nephew only rolled his eyes and scoffed, "And I'm still older than you!"
