Day Seventy-Five…
[ At Cai Hotel's Roof Deck… ]
A lavish table was set for a luxurious meal, complete with fine linens, elegant silverware, and a breathtaking view of the city skyline. The Dragon Lord wanted to impress the Godfather, preparing a feast fit for a king.
It did not take long before the entrance door was pushed open. The Godfather arrived, his presence commanding respect and authority. He was escorted by several men in black, headed by Kazuki.
Mr. Hiroshi surveyed the setup with a discerning eye. 'I'm impressed. He still had time to prepare this.'
Alexander stood up, greeting Mr. Hiroshi politely, a faint smile touching his lips as he gestured toward the array of delicacies adorning the table. "Thank you for accepting my invitation, Godfather."
Mr. Hiroshi just nodded before taking his seat, opposite Alexander. Since Alexander was alone, he motioned for the bodyguards to wait for them outside. Only Kazuki remained, accompanying the two.
"So what do you have for me? If you dare involve my daughter in this power struggle, I will not hesitate to destroy you." Mr. Hiroshi confronted Alexander directly. His tone held a threat. If Alexander was just an ordinary person then he would be intimidated by Mr. Hiroshi's superiority.
"Before anything else, I would come clean first. To show you my sincerity. I'm returning your two comrades." After saying that, Alexander grabbed his tablet, showing Mr. Hiroshi the photo of two members of the Sawada Clan whom they held captive.
"Ahuh! So you were the one who tried to assassinate our leader!" Kazuki reacted exasperatedly, slamming the table. He had been searching for these two missing comrades for the past few weeks.
Alexander didn't deny it. Instead, he justified his actions. "The Sawada Clan attacked my headquarters. I lost several men. I just tried to get my revenge."
"Brace yourself, Godfather. The truth you will know might shake you." Alexander grabbed his glass of wine, taking a sip before he continued revealing the truth.
"Let me start by telling you the hidden identity of your daughter, Jane. Do you know that Jane is Phantomflake, the legendary assassin? The leader of Phantom Assassin Guild." Alexander dropped the first bomb.
Kazuki and Mr. Hiroshi sat in stunned silence, contemplating whether to believe Alexander's words or not.
"Do you have proof? Are you trying to deceive us?" Kazuki was the one who broke the silence, seeking for evidence.
Without further ado, Alexander gave his tablet to Mr. Hiroshi. All the evidence they've gathered was there– photos, videos, medical records, news articles, and other necessary documents.
Mr. Hiroshi and Kazuki were silent as they scanned and read the pieces of evidence, proving Jane was Phantomflake. Alexander gave them enough time to absorb what they were seeing. He let them process the information he provided them.
Mr Hiroshi's usually composed demeanor faltered, his eyes widening in disbelief as he felt a rush of conflicting emotions. The revelation struck him like a thunderbolt, shattering his preconceptions about Jane's identity. His hands trembled slightly as he struggled to process the revelation, his thoughts racing, trying to reconcile the image of Jane, the woman he knew, with the revelation of her secret life as Phantomflake.
But that was not yet the most shocking truth. Among the pieces of evidence, they saw Nathan and his organization. It was said that the Syphiruz Mafia was the one who annihilated and destroyed the Phantom Assassin Guild.
"As you can see… you must now understand that you trusted the wrong person, Godfather. The man whom you thought became the bridge to reunite you with your missing daughter was the same man who hurt her and harmed her." Alexander was adding fuel to the fire.
Mr. Hiroshi's mind grappled with disbelief, denial, and a sense of betrayal, his heart sinking with the weight of the revelation. Nathan Sparks whom he thought could protect his daughter was the same person who made her suffer. It was an unimaginable revelation that shook the foundation of his understanding and trust.
"Jane ended up in a coma for two years. She just woke up recently. Nathan wanted revenge because Jane assassinated his beloved woman, Monica, the mother of his child." Alexander enlightened him further about the conflict between Nathan and Phantomflake.
Mr. Hiroshi could tell that Alexander was telling the truth. There was a medical record of Jane when she was still in a coma. When Phoenix infiltrated the Syphiruz Medical facility, they managed to steal Jane's medical records as well as video recordings of her being in a coma. She was being monitored 24/7 even in her sickbed.
The room seemed to echo with the weight of their stunned silence. Kazuki glanced at Mr. Hiroshi, seeing the turmoil and disbelief etched on his face, mirroring his own sentiments. He could see the anger building up in his master's facial expression. His face darkened in fury as his hand gripped the tablet tightly.
"M-Master…" He called him with his anxious voice. He felt like his master was ready to kill someone right now.
Meanwhile, Alexnder rejoiced, concealing the triumphant smile. He was satisfied to see Mr. Hiroshi's reaction today.
