Chapter 393 - 391: Xu Ying's Crony
"Shhh! It's me." Nathan's voice came from behind her and so she turned around to look at him while taking off her mask.
"I know. You're out?" Her question made Nathan to smile proudly to himself and he said in reply, "I did tell you, didn't I? I have a few tricks up my sleeves, too. That man thought he could outsmart me. Well, no. But of course I know you did something, too. Tell me about it?" Nathan said while holding onto her waist.
Eunji then wrapped her arms around his nape and with a coquettish grin she said, "Hmmm. Of course I don't want the father of my children to suffer that long or else our children back home won't forgive me."
Nathan was amused by her reply and she added, "I kind of hack your computer. Or shall I say, I kind of asked Alora to hack your computer and then picked some important files that you have in there and then made that legit looking website and I hacked the server and his device to display that website I have made."
Nathan already had those files ready to be published should something happen to him there.
"Surely, what you have done really angered him." He commented but at the same time proud of her.
"He can stay mad all he want. He dared to post a bounty quest against you? I'll make sure to make him suffer after this is over."
"Sure! However, I'd like to handle him myself. At the same time, he had courted death with Sir Alinsky. He is already bound to be doomed." Nathan's face then inched closer to hers and Eunji closed her eyes in anticipation.
However, to her disappointment, Nathan didn't kiss her but instead uttered his sorry again. And so, Eunji pushed his shoulder gently as she shot him a glare.
"Stop apologizing will you? We're no strangers to each other. You and I are not perfect and so we are always bound to commit those mistakes that makes the both of us to suffer. The only request I have now is to minimize those mistakes. It hurts and I hate it!"
He also hated how it hurts them both, too. And so, he nodded his head in agreement.
They're only both humans, not gods. It's up to them on how to handle the situation and how to look things in a different light and how to compensate the person being wronged by admitting the mistake being done.
These two were so lucky that they already had that deep connection that even the worst possible misunderstanding failed to ruin them completely.
Nathan was lucky to find the right woman who's willing to understand and not jumped into making any judgments about his character almost immediately.
Eunji on the other hand was lucky to have him. A man who always proves to her that she's his one and only beloved. A man who would willingly support her in her every decision even if he could no longer understand the reason for doing so.
"I can't guarantee that I'll stay after this though. And so, I have to apologize for it in advance, love."
Eunji's face suddenly changed after hearing this. Her reaction made Nathan to be tensed. However, it softened again a minute after and she smiled at him, "I understand. However, I hope you would tell me where you're going though. As your ahm...as the mother of our children, I don't want them to lose their father so early."
Eunji suddenly felt guilty and upset after realizing that she no longer have any legal claims to Nathan aside from being the mother of his children. And this saddened her honestly. Thus, she vowed that after this, she'll fix her title in his life.
"Don't worry, love. I already knew about that." 'And as the father of our children, I won't let you be in danger.' He continued the rest inside his head.
"I love you, Eunji. You know that, right?"
"Yes. And I love you, too. I felt like dying without you beside me, honestly."
"Oh my! Then can I kiss you again?"
"Geez! Just shut up and kiss me!" Eunji was annoyed and Nathan chuckled in response as he claimed her lips.
They kissed passionately and with need to have each other at that moment. Eunji frowned in between the kiss when she felt he suddenly slowed down.
"What's wrong?" She asked him with a frown.
"We better stop before this will escalate and I'll lose my self-control."
Eunji's injuries kept flashing in his memory and it worried him. Eunji understood this kind of look in his eyes and so she sighed deeply.
"If you're worried about my injuries, then, don't be. I've been treating them pretty good since I ditched their suggestion of recovering in the hospital."
But then, before she continued what she was trying to say, Alora interrupted her causing her to be annoyed.
Alora did apologize to her, "I'm sorry Eomma but this is an emergency."
"Spill."
"Uncle J called your phone. However, since you're very busy, so I answered it."
"You better make sure that is very important, Alora or I swear I'll put your program in hibernation mode." She threatened her AI. After all, Alora came in a wrong time.
"No! Please Eomma! Have mercy on me. I didn't mean to interrupt you and Appa's loving time. He told me that his grandfather's men called him again. He told me that his grandfather's camp was up to something. He was so sure of it."
And when things concerned, Eunji, Alora would surely make sure that this won't hurt Eunji.
"So, I looked into the current situation in the International Prison. And I have found out that there was a jail break incident a couple of days ago."
"What?!" Eunji was shocked by the news.
How come she didn't learn about this when it happened?
"The independent body who had been managing the prison had been trying to hide this from the stakeholders to avoid a huge wave backlash on them."
However, they failed because just recently, someone spotted Hades near the boarder of France and Italy, Mont Blanc.
"Hades?" She uttered which caused Nathan to hear the name, too.
"Hades? Isn't he the notorious serial killer who had been captured twelve years ago?"
"What about him?" Eunji asked both him and Alora.
"You don't know who Hades is?"
"Is he that remarkable for me to know him?"
Both Alora and Nathan internally face-palmed themselves after hearing her.
"Eomma? He's like the god of serial killing. He's very dangerous that the governments from developed countries had joined forces just to capture him."
"Oh, interesting!" Yet, she still could not remember a thing or two about him. Maybe Anastasia knew him. She'd try to ask her about this Hades guy then.
From the genuine sparkle in her eyes, Nathan was sure she was telling the truth.
"Back when I was training in the military, our instructors have always warned us to be wary of many kinds of criminals, first are the terrorists of course. Second are the mafias. Third, the mercenaries and lastly those insane criminals who never follow the rules when committing crime. And Hades belongs to the third category."
He tried explaining to her.
"Okay? Then tell me about him? Why should I be worried of him?"
"Do you know who is the prison beside him while he's stuck inside?"
"Damn it, Alora! I have no time for suspense!" Eunji starter to get annoyed.
"I'm sorry, Eomma! I'll tell. I'll tell you now. The prisoner beside his cell is none other than J's grandfather, Xu Ying."
Well, this indeed was very fishy.
"It's a shame that it's very dangerous for me to go and hack into their system, I have only found this bits of information from reliable sources.
"It's fine. That information helps a lot."
Eunji understood what Alora was trying to tell her.
Alora could if this AI would want to do it. She had rebuilt its system to make it stronger from any cyber attacks. However, Eunji had placed a limiter to place some boundaries on Alora. After all, an AI out of control would be a disaster just like in those sci-fi movies.
She felt bad for it honestly but it's for the greater good even for Alora itself.
Eunji was left with no choice but to take the matters in her hands.
She then looked at Nathan who had become silent after hearing Hades' name and so she asked himz "A penny for your thoughts?"
"Nothing wife. It's just that Hades is a very dangerous man. He's a total psycho."
However, what he said caused Eunji to chuckle, "If he's indeed dangerous, then I'm more than looking forward to meet him and maybe exchange some pointers? I don't know why but I think being surrounded with many mercenaries like me is far more dangerous than facing a mad killer, what do you think?"
"..."
"Still, you have to be careful, Eomma. After all, there's a greater chance that Xu Ying helped him in escaping and sent him here after you."
Seriously, she's still not done with his cronies and now, he's sending another one. Xu Ying. He's really too much.
"Alora!"
"Yes, Eomma?"
"Give me every information about Xu Ying."
"But! Did you not know everything about him already, Eomma?" Alora threw the question.
"I felt that something's missing. So I want you to look deeper. As for Hades, don't worry about him, he's just a fly in the wall."
Just as he said that, the person whom President Williams was talking to at the moment inside the VIP lounge, sneezed. The person was wearing a black cloak to hide himself from everyone.
"Are you, okay?"
President Williams asked cautiously. After all, this person was the messenger sent by his backer. And so he was his VIP.
"Don't worry. I am fine." A male voice came out from the person.
"Good! I hope the games we prepared for this conference didn't bore you."
"En! You may leave now. I want to be alone!"
