Day Seven…

~~*****~~

[ At Syphiruz Mafia Main Headquarters… ]

Nathan resumed the emergency meeting with his subordinates.

"So the members of the Red Dragon Mafia retreated as soon as they saw Spider, finding out that the people I sent to intervene were members of Syphiruz?" Nathan asked his subordinates who had just finished reporting last night's incident.

Axel was sitting next to Nathan, taking down notes.

"Yes, Supreme Leader. They are aware that Towerville City is our turf so they didn't act recklessly. They just quietly retreated," Spider replied.

"Didn't you ask them why they are following Engr. Wu?"

"They didn't disclose more information as it was confidential. But I think their target was not Engr. Wu, but the woman with him."

Nathan's brows knitted in a frown. He seemed like he had to talk to Aiden personally to find out what happened. Where did he meet that woman? Why are members of the Red Dragon Mafia chasing after them?

"The higher-ups of the Red Dragon Mafia already sent an apology for stepping into our turf unannounced. They are requesting us to meet face to face to further discuss and clear the misunderstanding." Joker informed Nathan.

"Summon the Soeung Twins– Chantha and Violet," Nathan ordered Axel.

[ *Author's note: Soeung can be read or pronounced as Soyung* ]

Chantha Soeung and Violet Soeung were the Branch Leaders of Syphiruz Mafia here in Towerville City. If Nathan is working in the SYP Twilight Corporation, the twins are the ones managing the Syphiruz's operations here in Towerville.

Axel immediately called the two ladies. After five minutes, the door of the meeting room slid open and two identical twins entered– one was wearing a red dress while the other one was wearing a black dress.

Both of them had tan yet flawless and smooth complexion. The two are 5 feet and 5 inches in height with slender figures. If not for their hair, anyone would have difficulty distinguishing the two as they looked very identical, even their heights, weights, and figures.

Chantha has long straight black hair while Violet has long curly black hair. If they would try to fool anyone, they could just fix their hair with the same style! In their organization, the twins were known as the masters of Deception and Seduction!

"Supreme Leader, you finally summoned us! What took you so long? You are still as gorgeous as ever! Can I give you a hug and kiss?" Chantha said seductively, walking closer to Nathan. She was supposed to touch his shoulder but Axel immediately grabbed her hand thus stopping her.

Axel knew that Chantha had no restraint when it came to their Supreme Leader. She tried to seduce Nathan many times but it didn't work.

Chantha just clicked her tongue while glaring at Axel. She removed his hand that was gripping hers. When Axel let go, Chantha just glanced at Nathan playfully before blowing a kiss.

Violet could only shake her head helplessly as she watched her twin sister trying to make another bad impression in front of their Supreme Leader. But Nathan was already used to Chantha's playful side. The best way to respond was just to IGNORE her.

Violet already pulled her twin sister to sit down next to her. Now, Joker, Spider, Violet, and Chantha were facing Axel and Nathan in that big round table.

"What's the matter?" Violet asked, darting her gaze back and forth between Spider and Joker.

"Red Dragon," Spider simply said.

Violet and Chantha nodded as they already got the overall picture of this issue.

"Are they denying that they were the ones who sabotaged our operations overseas?" Chantha asked, slamming the table with her two hands. The playful smile on her face disappeared. It was replaced by anger and annoyance.

"Sis, calm down. Watch your manners. Supreme Leader is here," Violet had to remind her to calm her down.

Chantha just sat back and folded her arms over her chest. "I'm sorry," she apologized.

Axel sighed deeply. Fortunately, Violet was there to control her twin sister.

"The Red Dragon is inviting us to have a meeting with them tomorrow night." Spider relayed the information to the twins.

"When and where?" Chantha was asking for the exact time and exact location.

"8:00 pm at the EDSJ Five Star Hotel during the Masquerade Ball Birthday Celebration of the famous foreign business entrepreneur, Emese Serflek."

"What? Are they crazy? How are we supposed to bring weapons? The security will be so tight in that hotel because of the VIP Celebrant," Chantha reacted once again.

"That's their real purpose. This is a secret meet-up between the Red Dragon Mafia and Syphiruz Mafia so they decided to do it in public. Through this, no one would try to sabotage each other." Spider explained to them.

"Supreme Leader, are you attending this meeting personally? Or do you want us to deal with them?" Violet consulted Nathan.

Usually, Nathan was not attending this kind of meeting with their opposing faction for his safety and security. He was only sending his Branch Leaders to do the negotiations. Sometimes, he would ask Axel to pretend and act as him while wearing his mask.

This was how Nathan "the Devil" had become a mysterious leader who didn't show his real face to the underground world.

Nathan was about to say something when Chantha butted in, interrupting him.

"Supreme Leader, please come with us and be my date in this Masquerade Ball! You can meet the Red Dragon and at the same time, you will enjoy my company!" Chantha said shamelessly, convincing Nathan to come.

Axel, Joker, and Spider looked daggers at her. It would be risky to do that. What if the Red Dragon was plotting something? Bringing an impostor was the best choice!

On the other hand, Nathan's brows twitched and his eyes lit up when he heard the word "Date". He was reminded of Abigail who wanted to go on a date with him.

Then Ethan's words rang in his ears. [ "If you will not say yes… then I have no choice but to let Miss Abi go with Uncle Stephen." ]

And out of the blue, Nathan spoke up, saying, "Yes. I will go."

Violet: "..."

Axel: "Eh, Boss?"

Spider: "Supreme Leader?"

Joker: "..."

Chantha: "..."
