100 Days to Seduce the Devil

Day Seventy-Nine…

[ At Country M: Sparks Mansion… ]

"Dad! I can't trace Grandpa's location. His mobile phone is either switched off or the kidnappers discarded it." Ethan approached his father while holding his laptop. They've tried all means to locate him using CCTV cameras on the street and the Radar. As of now, they hadn't spotted Old Man Xu and the kidnappers.

Nathan maintained his calm expression to comfort his son. He stroked his head and said, "Don't worry, son. I'll find him no matter what. Go and eat your breakfast first. Leave this to me."

Ethan felt like crying. He was just talking to his grandfather yesterday, laughing together and discussing his baby sis and Nathan's wedding with Jane. Who would have thought it would be his last phone conversation with his grandfather before he went missing?

"Dad? Do you think my grandpa is safe?" Ethan couldn't help but feel scared for Old Man Xu's safety.

"Of course. Let's just wait, son. He was kidnapped so the culprits will call for negotiation. If it's about money, we can give them everything just to secure your grandpa's safety."

"But why is it… no one has called us yet?" Ethan had been also waiting for the culprits to call the Sparks Mansion. But no one contacted them.

This time Nathan fell silent. He was also wondering why the culprits were silent. If they would make a call now, Nathan would be able to trace their location.

'The culprits appear to be meticulous. Are they aware of my hacking skills?' Nathan pondered to himself.

"Sir!" Axel entered the room with urgency. He also returned to Country M together with Chantha after hearing what happened to Old Man Xu.

"Chairman Xu dropped by our medical facility before the abduction," Axel reported.

Nathan frowned when he heard that. "Why did he go there? He seldom visits our medical facility."

"Grandpa is trying to find out the truth… about my real mother. He went there to submit our DNA samples…" Ethan was the one who answered Nathan's question.

Axel: *Silence*

"He submitted samples for a DNA test? You also doubt your mother's identity…" Nathan asked him again.

Little Ethan bobbed his head. "Yes. Grandpa and I believe that the evil woman might not be my biological mother," he replied matter-of-factly.

"We are supposed to get the result today… but Grandpa has gone missing…" Ethan was saddened by that thought.

Nathan held Ethan's shoulders. "I'll ask someone to retrieve the result and deliver it here. We will read the result together."

After saying that, Nathan turned to Axel. "Who is in the facility right now?"

"Chantha is there," Axel responded.

"Okay. Tell her to get the result," Nathan commanded.

Axel nodded and excused himself for a moment as he contacted Chantha. A few minutes later, Axel returned with a deep frown on his forehead.

"Sir… According to Chantha… the samples submitted by Chairman Xu… went missing. Someone took it from the laboratory even before they conducted the DNA test."

The father and son duo were taken aback by that news. Displeasure could be seen on their faces.

"It looks like… we still have another traitor on our sides. Who else knew about this DNA test?" Nathan asked Ethan.

"Grandpa's assistant! We are the only people who knew about this, Dad! Grandpa's assistant also disappeared with him. Do you think… he is a traitor?"

A chilly glint flashed through Nathan's eyes as he clenched. There was no way to confirm it at the moment since Old Man Xu's assistant had gone missing with him.

If he was a traitor, then probably he was also the one who shared information about their current location with the enemies. But why? Old Man Xu's assistant had been working for him for twenty years now. Why would he betray Old Man Xu and the Sparks?

"Ethan, please go to your room first." Nathan requested. There were things he must discuss with Axel alone.

Seeing Nathan's serious expression, Ethan obeyed his father. He would also do what he could to help his father in searching for his grandpa. With that, Ethan headed to his playroom. He aimed to work with his robotic friends.

"What are we going to do now, Sir?" Axel asked Nathan expectantly when Ethan left the room.

"Call Joker. Tell him to investigate the background of my father's assistant. Dig more information about him. ASAP."

"Okay, Sir."

"Furthermore, let Chantha investigate all the people who were present in the medical facility yesterday. We need to catch that traitor as soon as possible. We need to cleanse our organization." Nathan declared with conviction.

"Dispatch Spider and Violet. I want them to closely monitor the movement of the King Stallion Mafia. They are our prime suspects." Nathan continued giving Axel some instructions. Time was of the essence.

"Sir… may I speak my mind… once again?" Axel asked permission first before sharing his thoughts.

"Tell me. What's on your mind, Axel?"

"About the disappearance of the DNA samples… Sir… I think the enemy is preventing us from knowing the truth. They wanted to hide something. This incident just increased the suspicion… or shall I say… the possibility that Monica might not be Young Master Ethan's biological mother."

"Yeah… I think so. My father and I were both thinking… they used a stand-in the night I slept with her." Nathan also had this speculation in mind.

"Sigh. Who is Young Master Ethan's real mother?"

Both men fell into silence, thinking so hard. It did not take long before Axel's phone rang. Chantha was calling him.

"Answer it," Nathan simply said.

Axel pressed the answer button and waited for Chantha to say something.

"Axel, is our Supreme Leader with you? Please put the phone in loudspeaker mode. I just found something…" Chantha said with urgency.

"Okay. You are on a loudspeaker now. Our Supreme Leader and I are together. Speak now."

Both Nathan and Axel put their attention on Chantha.

"Supreme Leader, after reviewing the dashcam of Chairman Xu's car, we found out that he went to a certain hospital twice. It appears that he visited Maximilian Carlsen."

"Maximilian Carlsen?" Nathan was skeptical as to why his father visited Maximilian.

"Yes! The same day Chairman Xu's abduction, Maximilian Carlsen died in the hospital."

"Do you think there might be connections between the two incidents?" Chantha asked.

Nathan: "..."

Axel: "..."

"Axel… go and investigate Maximilian's death," Nathan commanded after his long silence.
