Chapter 187 - To Abduct

Raine went out of the meeting room and let the rest watch the rest of the trial if they wanted to. Walking around, she stumbled into the sight of Boris and Aire playing chess in the living room.

"The trial ended?" Boris asked when he saw her.

Raine shook her head as she sat beside Aire.

"I guess it's boring then," he added, noting Raine's distraught expression.

It wasn't that it was boring, but she just couldn't stomach hearing the gruesome deeds Yun had committed. She knew very well that some of them were her father's fault, like the eradication of King Arthur, his family, and his followers.

Lazing around, she quietly watched Aire and Boris play for some time. A few minutes later, Lyne appeared from the corner and told her, "The meeting with Yun's lawyer is already set, Boss."

Raine nodded as she stood up and signaled Lyne to follow her into her bedroom so that the two of them could talk more discreetly.

"Boss, aren't we going to tell Levi and Mia about Tyrone being a mutant?" Lyne questioned.

Raine let out a long sigh, "Let's spare them from having additional baggage over their shoulders, Lyne. I don't want them to end up like you. You're always worrying too much even when I clearly say that I can handle everything."

She didn't bother telling Lyne the truth about Tyrone's real identity. After all, she was planning on erasing all their memories before her father woke up anyway. It was the better option to make sure that they would be safe and sound in the future. She would also have to erase their memories regarding their involvement in Xander's case.

"It doesn't help that you can't, Boss…"

"What was that?"

"Nothing," Lyne blinked as if she hadn't whispered out her opinions or anything. 

Dismissing what she just heard as a trick of the wind, Raine simply gave Lyne a reassuring smile as she teased, "Well, I think you need to focus more on your own problem, Lyne. Aside from work, that is. 

Lyne only had a pout, immediately getting what her Boss meant with those teasing grins. 

"I see that you haven't put Boris's bracelet back on. Levi said that it's already safe for him to use," Raine pondered.

Lyne had an awkward smile. She didn't want her Boss to know that she had made a deal with Boris. She wanted to keep it a secret from her, knowing how their Boss would rightfully react. In short, she simply didn't want to trouble their Boss who already had enough important things to do on her plate.

"I think it's no longer needed. Boris seems harmless now, and much more dedicated in helping us out," she answered with a strained smile.

"Hmm, alright. I'll trust your decision on this," Raine nodded before looking at her wristwatch. "I suppose I'll have to get ready. The trial's about to end soon."

Hours passed, and Raine and Lyne proceeded to make their way to the meeting place that they had agreed upon to meet Yun's lawyer.

"Do you think he could be trusted?" Lyne inquired. 

There was a wide smile on Raine's face as she meaningfully mumbled, "He's Liam Sy, the best amongst the best. His vaunted skills are the reason why Uncle did everything just to get the man to represent him. But little did he know that behind a man's weakness is always a woman. He might not have lost all his cases all these years, but that was until his opponent became his wife."

Lyne nodded in understanding. The Boss was honestly playing Prince's Yun like a damn fiddle right now. Everything was well planned, and their Boss had everything dancing to the pull of her strings. The Mirage Trial was like a play being directed by their Boss, and none knew about it except her, Levi, and Mia.

The two were already in the car when Mia suddenly called.

"Boss, we have a problem," she reported. "It's the bug on Rui's phone. Yera has to fly out of the island to do a very important surgery. It might open an opportunity for Prince Yun."

Raine cursed and hissed, "Why would she do surgery in these crucial moments?!"

"The person she's going to operate on is Dr. Rui's fiance."

Raine's shoulders dropped. Yera was the best brain surgeon in the world, so it was understandable that she would volunteer to do the surgery for a close friend.

"When's the schedule?" Raine asked to the other line.

"Boss… It's on the same day as the second trial…" Mia almost whispered.

Raine clenched her jaw. It was an unforeseen event that could jeopardize everything they had planned for. She mumbled out in annoyance. "This isn't good…"

Mulling on their options, Raine's face lit up with the sudden brilliant idea that came to her head. She looked at Lyne and instructed, "Mobilize the squad. I want everyone in Country D that day to surround Yang Globals Hospital."

*****

Meanwhile, the trial had finally ended. All of the evidence presented was in favor of Xander's team, and Yun was getting mad and talking shi*t inside his car.

"This is not good! I need Xander's wife before the second trial! Contact Long! I want him to handle the operation in abducting Yera by any means necessary!" Yun barked out. "I don't care if there's bloodshed everywhere, so long as that bitch will be in my custody by the end of the day!" he screamed inside the car, his face bright red with fury.

Beside the man, Tyrone felt his vibrate. Quietly looking at the message, it was Raine, informing him that Yera was about to fly to Country D. Receiving such a message only meant one thing, and that was he should relay this information to Yun.

"Boss, Raine asked me to go to Country D," Tyrone informed. 

Yun turned to him and hissed, "Any idea why she would want you there?"

"She received a tip that Xander's wife will be returning to Yang Globals to do a very important and crucial surgery…"

Yun creased his forehead, but a smirk quickly replaced the hesitation on his face as he inquired, "And when is that?"

"In two days, the same day as the second trial…" Tyrone relayed.

"Good work, Tyrone. Who would have thought that you could be this reliable? I wonder what that b*tch is up to though…" 

"She wants to abduct Miss Yera and strike a deal with Xander Yang without shedding blood. She wishes to get the full power of becoming the ruler of the Moon Clan with Xander's full consent so that she would look good in everyone's eyes by the end of it, especially with the Mirage Council." Tyrone reasoned with a heaping dose of bullshit, and Yun seemed to eagerly buy it with his nodding.

"Sneaky bi*tch as always!" Yun scorned with gritted teeth. He could not wait to wipe Raine's existence once he became the ruler of Moon Clan.

Tyrone was honestly confused on why Raine would want Yun to know about these sensitive details, but he trusted her and her plans.. His shoulders dropped, however, knowing that he only had two more days left to handle the problems on his side, which was honestly giving him a hard time.
