100 Days to Seduce the Devil

Chapter 811  Asking Her Blessings

Day Eighty-Five…

~~*****~~

[ At Syphiruz Mafia Headquarters… ]

Axel brought Butler Li to their headquarters to detain him. Nathan couldn't let him go since he was still worried about Vincen's scheme. It was best for them to be more cautious. Detaining Butler Li was beneficial in keeping him in check.

Violet, Chantha, and Joker were gathered inside the office. They were still talking about the mission to find Axel when one subordinate barged into the room, alerting the three branch leaders.

"Branch Leaders!!! Good news! Boss Axel came back! He is back!"

The moment Chantha heard the words, she hastily stood up and grabbed the man's shoulder.

"Are you serious? Where is he? Tell me!" She shook his body as she demanded answers.

Violet tapped her sister's shoulder. "Hey, Calm down."

"He is walking toward our prison cell, bringing someone," The subordinate informed her.

Chantha didn't wait any further as she dashed out of the office. She just stopped when she caught a glimpse of the man she had been missing for days.

"Axel!" She called upon his name with so much longing.

Axel, who was escorting Butler Li in the hallway, suddenly halted on his step when he heard Chantha's voice. He turned around only to see his beloved woman running to him.

Axel let go of Butler Li as he caught Chantha in his arms when she threw herself into him. Chantha gave him a rib-crashing embrace.

His heart was pounding in his chest as he felt her warmth. He felt guilty for worrying her. Before he knew it, Chantha's body trembled as she began to sob.

"Shhhh! Please, don't cry. I'm sorry." Axel apologized as she rubbed her back.

Chantha began hitting his chest. "I was worried sick. I thought something bad happened to you. I… I can't lose you. I don't want to lose you!"

Axel just kept hugging her. "I'm sorry, Chantha. Our Supreme Leader gave me a special mission. Because of that, I needed to deceive our fellow colleagues, including you. I had to capture the mole." He explained to her.

Chantha was taken aback when she heard that. She pushed him away, breaking the hug. Then she asked him. "Does it mean… our Supreme Leader knew that you were safe?"

Axel smiled sheepishly as he nodded his head. "Yes. Our Boss knew about my whereabouts."

Chantha began hitting his chest once again. "I hate you! I hate you! You should have told me about it! Don't you trust me?" She was upset. "Did you doubt my loyalty to our Supreme Leader?"

Axel tried to capture Chantha's hands as he engulfed her in another embrace. "Of course not! I don't doubt your loyalty. I know you are not the traitor. I'm just following an order. Please forgive me."

Chantha finally calmed down as she wiped her tears using the back of her palm. Axel also caressed her cheeks. Then Chantha finally noticed Butler Li's presence. He was standing behind them silently.

"Butler Li? What is he doing here?" Chantha asked Axel.

"He is the traitor," Axel responded with a sad tone.

Chantha's eyes widened in surprise when she heard that. "Is it for real?"

Axel nodded to confirm it. "Oh no! This can't be." Chantha looked at Butler Li with disbelief. "How can you do this, Butler Li?"

Butler Li chose to remain silent. He had already said enough. He didn't care if Nathan's subordinates would hate him or blame him for what he did. He just fulfilled his role as Vincent's Uncle. He was Vincent's only blood relative left.

Soon, Violet and Joker joined them.

"Bro! You are alive!" Joker wrapped his arm around Axel's shoulders. He was so happy to see him. "What happened to you?"

"I'll tell you everything later. For now, I have to send Butler Li to our prison cell." Axel didn't waste his time as he escorted Butler Li. Chantha also followed them to the prison cell.

When they secured Butler Li inside the prison cell, Axel and his comrades proceeded to the conference room to talk about what happened to him. Why did he go missing?

At the conference room…

"What? You weren't kidnapped?! It was part of your plan to deceive us and catch the traitor?" Violet slammed her hands on the surface of the table. "So… is everyone here clear? No mole? No traitor?!"

Axel smiled at them. "Yes. We've proven your loyalty to our Supreme Leader."

"Yes. I've learned my lesson! I won't ever betray the team ever again!" Joker butted in as he swore to them with conviction.

Chantha and Violet gave Joker a teasing smile. "You are afraid to defy our Supreme Leader now. Haha!"

"Of course! Boss Nathan is the best leader! I owe him my life. It was my mistake to betray him. I regret it." Joker put on a pitiful look.

Axel just chuckled, patting Joker's back.

"So, Butler Li is the traitor. How did our Boss accept this?" Chantha sounded worried about Nathan.

Axel fell silent for a moment, sadness evident in his eyes. "Of course, he was hurt. He has been deceived by Butler Li for more than two decades. Butler Li was like a family to him. But Butler Li has no choice. He sided with his nephew, Vincent… the leader of King Stallion Mafia."

"I'm glad he didn't poison Nathan and Chairman Xu." Violet heaved a sigh of relief.

"According to Butler Li, he didn't want to kill anyone," Axel replied. "However, because of him… Nathan's woman suffered a lot at the hands of Vincent and Monica. That is something Nathan can't let it slide. Phantomflake's misery started when Butler Li helped Vincent steal Nathan's identity. They used Phantomflake to enter Nathan's life."

Everyone fell silent at Axel's remarks. "Sigh! Vincent is winning! Jane is now marrying him. It's all over the news! How is our Boss doing?" Chantha asked Axel worriedly.

"He is coping up. Don't worry. Our Supreme Leader is strong. He will not give up." Axel believed in Nathan's capability. "Everything will be fine. I trust Phantomflake's judgment. She is not the type of person who will let her enemy win."

Chantha, Violet, and Joker nodded in agreement. They could still remember when Phantomflake defiantly faced their Supreme Leader. Instead of surrendering to him, she bravely stabbed her heart in front of Nathan.

"Sigh. They've been through a lot. I just hope they will get a happy ending… being together." Chantha expressed her concern for Nathan and Jane.

"Hey, Axel… did you find out? Who is young master Ethan's biological mother? Is it Helena or Monica?" Violet brought up another topic.

Everyone gazed at Axel expectantly, anticipating his reply.

"We are still investigating this. But Butler Li already confirmed that Monica was not Ethan's biological mother."

"Oh my gosh! I knew it! Young master Ethan is very different from Monica. I can't see any resemblance between the two." Chantha snapped her fingers.

"So true. I agree with you." Violet also supported her sister's last remarks.

"Truth will come to light! We will uncover it!" Joker blurted out.

As they continued the conversation, Axel suddenly grabbed Chantha's hand in front of their comrades.

"Alright. Let's change the topic. Allow me to announce something." Axel turned to Violet, Chantha's twin sister.

"Because of the hectic schedule and the complicated things that have been happening lately, I failed to inform you about my relationship with Chantha. Violet… I hope you will give us your blessings. I want to marry your sister."

Violet: "..."

Joker: "..."Nôv(el)B\\jnn
