Chapter 715 Jane's Plan to Strike Back
Day Seventy-Six...
At this moment, Jane was left in the dark. She didn't know what was going on between Mr. Hiroshi and Nathan. Meanwhile, Hanabi could no longer bear to keep the secret from Jane. She learned that Mr. Hiroshi and Jane would fly to Country J tomorrow.
Grabbing the chance that Mr. Hiroshi was not around, Hanabi told Jane to drop by her hideout since Cherry had something to discuss with her. Jane started to become suspicious. Both Hanabi and her father were acting strange and secretive today. 2
Before visiting Veronica, Jane proceeded to her hideout where Cherry was waiting.
"Sis! You are finally here. I've been looking for you since yesterday!" Cherry welcomed Jane with a warm hug.
"What's wrong? Are we in trouble?" Jane inquired, her expression becoming serious.
Cherry pulled her toward the sofa. "Sit down first. You have to listen to me carefully. But sis, you have to promise me that you will keep your cool?"The primary upload of this chapter happened on N0v3l--B1n.
"Please, just tell me. I can't stand this suspense. I sense that everyone is keeping something from me," Jane sighed heavily. Mr. Hiroshi's unusual behavior and Hanabi's meaningful glances had fueled her suspicion.
Cherry grabbed her shoulders and locked her eyes with hers. "Brace yourself, Sis."
Jane just nodded her head.
"Your father had already found out your other identity as Phantomflake. He also discovered the past conflict between you and Nathan. It seems that Nathan has been put on Mr. Hiroshi's bad side. He is against your relationship with Nathan. Your father hates him so much that he wants to separate the two of you." Cherry dropped the bomb.
Jane was stunned for a moment, digesting her words. After a while, the crease on her forehead deepened. "Who told my father?"
"The Dragon Lord. He met your father yesterday and revealed those things. They are trying to stir a conflict between your father and Nathan to destroy the alliance." Cherry was saddened about this. Jane's expression turned grim, her eyes set ablaze. "How dare they use my father against Nathan?! I won't let them win. I'll talk to my father myself. I'll fix this." Jane's voice was filled with conviction.
Cherry bit her lower lip. She hadn't told her the other big issue here. "Sis... there's another concern. Your father has arranged for you to marry Tatsumi," she revealed, the words hanging heavily in the air. 3
Upon hearing this unexpected revelation, Jane's eyes widened in disbelief and shock. Her jaw dropped slightly, and her brows furrowed as she processed the startling information. A mix of emotions flooded her - surprise, confusion, and a hint of indignation at the prospect of an arranged marriage, especially with someone she hadn't chosen herself.
'Damn! My father's decision will be the death of me! Jane thought to herself, rubbing her temples. She suddenly felt a headache.
"Furthermore, Sis... Mr. Hiroshi ordered Hanabi not to tell you about this, that's why I am speaking on her behalf. Please protect her from the wrath of your father."
Jane looked at Cherry helplessly. Now, she understood why Hanabi behaved like that in the house. She appeared to be troubled by something. She wanted to talk to her but she couldn't reveal the truth because she was bound by her father's command.
"What are you going to do now, Sis? Your father will forbid you from seeing Nathan. Can you endure that?" Cherry asked her worriedly. She already accepted the fact that Jane chose Nathan among the other men.
Jane couldn't hide her frustration when confronted by that
question. It looked like she would be having a hard time because of this issue.
"Hmm. They want to ruin my relationship with Nathan using my father. I won't let them. No one can stop me from seeing Nathan, not even my father," Jane stubbornly stated.
Cherry just let out a soft giggle. Hanabi and she had already expected this kind of reaction from her. No one could tell Jane what to do. She would choose to do what was best for her.
"No matter what, I'll support you, Sis." Cherry expressed her desire to assist Jane whenever she needed her.
"I'll focus first on the people responsible for creating this conflict. Let's give them the taste of their own medicine. Now, we should strike back. Destroy the alliance between the Red Dragon Mafia and the King Stallion Mafia. I'll give this task to you and Hanabi." Jane laid out her initial plan and strategy.
"Oh, right. Hanabi and I will be meeting the Dragon Lord today," Cherry said excitedly, snapping her fingers.
"Good. Give him a good show. I wonder how he will react once he learns that Monica is alive. She played him as well." Jane sneered at that thought.The primary upload of this chapter happened on N0v3l--B1n.
"Got it, Sis. How about you? What will you do next? I heard you are leaving tomorrow together with your father."
"Yes. I am going to Country J to meet the members of the Sawada Clan. But today, I'll have to deal with Monica's sister, Veronica. Axel and Tatsumi succeeded in their mission. I'm going to teach her one last lesson." Jane said menacingly.
"Aw. I want to tag along and watch how you will punish her. However, I have to accompany Hanabi in meeting the Dragon Lord. Can you record it, Sis? So that I can watch it." Cherry mischievously requested. 3
"Sure. I'll keep you updated," Jane agreed.
"Oh, By the way, sis... Have you heard about what happened to the hideout of the King Stallion Mafia here in our country? The bombing incident? They have so many casualties." Cherry came across the news from the underground world related to the King Stallion Mafia's hideout bombing incident.
Jane didn't hear about it. "When did it happen?"
"I think... it's yesterday morning," Cherry replied.
Jane was taken aback for a moment. She suspected that it was Nathan's doing. 'Don't tell me... Nathan did it for me? I told him about the King Stallion Mafia: Jane appreciated his gesture. She felt like Nathan was showing her how much he cared about her. 4
'Gosh. I have to reward him for this! Jane's lips curled up into a gentle smile. Her heart fluttered because of Nathan's considerate actions.
