BXBX NOVEL Chapter 534 He Doesn't Hate Her That Much
[ At Luiz District Hospital…]
Nathan sent Jane back to the hospital. Mr. Hiroshi was already awake when they arrived. Mr. Hiroshi requested to talk to Nathan privately. Mr. Kazuki joined them.
Jane, Abigail, and Dave went to the Billing Station to process Mr. Hiroshi\'s discharge. He didn\'t want to stay in the hospital. Besides, he already felt better. He didn\'t get any serious injuries.
"What happened there, Master? Your two bodyguards are still missing?" Kazuki asked Mr. Hiroshi.
Mr. Hiroshi sat up, fixing his position on his hospital bed. His expression turned serious. "You haven\'t seen them yet?"
"Yes. There is no sign of them in the vicinity," Kazuki responded. "Did they betray us?"
Mr. Hiroshi shook his head. "No. They didn\'t. When the explosion happened, my bodyguards saw a suspicious person. The broker didn\'t arrive. It was a trap. One guard secured my safety and one guard chased after the suspicious guy. If they betrayed us, the two should have killed me already, instead of leaving me unconscious."
"I think… the two of them were captured by our enemies." Mr. Hiroshi told them about his deduction about the situation. "You need to find them before it\'s too late."
"Okay, Master. I already dispatch our men to continue their search. I knew it. Our members won\'t betray us. Their loyalty is unmatched!" Kazuki felt relieved.
Mr. Hiroshi bobbed his head. Then he turned to Nathan. "I heard what you\'ve done. Thank you, Nate, for coming to our rescue. Sigh, I didn\'t expect that my daughter would risk her life just to save me. If something happened to her, I won\'t forgive myself."
"Lady Jane is very brave. Fearless… just like her father," Mr. Kazuki replied, commending Jane\'s action.
However, both Nathan and Mr. Hiroshi didn\'t like what she did.
"But I don\'t want her to put her life in danger. I should be the one protecting her, not the other way around." Mr. Hiroshi lamented.
"I agree with Mr. Hiroshi," Nathan butted in.
"See! Even Mr. Sparks agrees with me. Hmmph! You should have stopped her." Mr. Hiroshi reprimanded Kazuki.
Kazuki could only bow his head and apologized to him. "I\'m sorry, Master."
"Okay. Let\'s talk about something else. I summoned you here because I received a piece of important information about the Raven." Mr. Hiroshi picked up his phone and read a message from a reliable source.
"Hanabi is back," Mr. Hiroshi mumbled before showing the message to Kazuki.
Nathan frowned. Who was this Hanabi? He got curious because Kazuki\'s eyes went round at the mention of that name.
"Who is she?" Nathan asked them curiously.
"Our number one spy!" Kazuki blurted out. "What did she find out, Master?"
"The Raven… doesn\'t exist. It\'s a pseudo-org."
Nathan and Kazuki were taken aback when they heard that. No wonder they couldn\'t find anything about this organization.
"But… how could that be possible? Did she lie to me about their whereabouts?" Nathan started to doubt Jane once more. She confessed that the Raven was the one who called the hit.
"Don\'t jump to a conclusion, Nate. We have two possibilities here. First, your informant must have lied to you. And second, a powerful organization is behind this and also deceived the hitman." Mr. Hiroshi had no idea that his daughter was the informant and the hitman.
"Your enemy is powerful enough to hide their real identities. They used a pseudo-org so that you can\'t trace them. The mastermind is very crafty and cunning. He meticulously planned everything. Do you know someone who bears a strong resentment against you? Did you offend him that much?" Mr. Hiroshi glanced at him with a skeptical look in his eyes.
Nathan couldn\'t think of anyone. "I don\'t know."
"You should be careful, Nate. Who knows, he already infiltrated your organization. He must have known you personally. Only a few people know about your identity as the Supreme Leader of the Syphiruz Mafia. Yet, this person who called the hit targeted your girlfriend. He wanted you to suffer miserably by killing her on the day of your proposal." Mr. Hiroshi warned him.
"This is not a simple assassination. By the way, is the assassin still alive? You can ask him more about this. Do you want me to interrogate the assassin?" Kazuki volunteered.
Nathan didn\'t know what to say. Phantomflake was Jane. He couldn\'t tell them that, otherwise, Mr. Hiroshi would become his greatest enemy. He hurt his daughter and Mr. Hiroshi would never forgive him.
"No. I already killed the assassin," Nathan lied.
"Sigh! You should let him live until you catch the real mastermind. Tsk. Tsk. Tsk. Wrong move, Nate!" Kazuki shook his head in dismay.
Nathan could only keep quiet. He didn\'t want to say another lie.
"Is there another way to find out who is the real mastermind?" Nathan asked them expectantly.
"This will be hard. But of course, there is always a solution to your problem." Mr. Hiroshi held his shoulders, cheering him up.
After talking to Mr. Hiroshi and Kazuki, Nathan left the ward. He was walking in the hallway absentmindedly when Jane saw him.
"Nate!" She called him. "Are you going home already?"
Nathan gazed at her with conflicting thoughts in mind. "The Raven doesn\'t exist." Nathan blurted out, informing Jane.
Jane was taken aback for a moment. She clenched her fists and asked him, "Are you doubting my words? Do you think I lied to you?"
Nathan didn\'t respond right away. He just stood there while staring at her intently. "No. I believe you. The mastermind deceived you by using a pseudo-org."
Nathan walked past her after saying those words. He had a lot in mind. But Jane grabbed his hand thus stopping him from walking away.
"Nate… what if Monica is alive… will you be able to forgive me? Will your hatred disappear?" Jane asked him expectantly. Her eyes were hopeful.
A deep frown appeared on his forehead when he heard that. "What made you think that she was alive? You saw it. She died in my arms."
Jane had the urge to tell him about Vincent and Helena. But she was afraid that Nathan would never believe her. She didn\'t have concrete proof yet.
Jane let go of his hand and gazed down. "Nothing. It\'s just my wishful thinking… because I don\'t want you to hate me forever…"
Nathan was not able to utter a word. He just watched her for a few moments. \'I don\'t hate you that much anymore…\' Nathan thought to himself but he didn\'t voice it out loud.
Without saying a word, Nathan turned around to leave. Jane could only watch his retreating back. "I\'ll find her. Monica is alive out there."
With that thought in mind, Jane picked up her phone and searched for Vincent\'s phone number. \'He is the only way to find out the truth. What is his relationship with Monica? Do they have a secret affair?\'
Jane typed a message for Vincent. She needed to get close to him.
[ Hello, this is Jane. When are you going to treat me to a meal? I\'m available this week. ]
Jane was desperate to find the truth. Aside from Monica, she also had another reason for approaching Vincent. She would investigate if they had something to do with Abigail\'s accident.
