Chapter 869 The Last Mission: Father and Daughter
Day Ninety-One…
Nathan rubbed the space between his eyebrows. He was still confused by the sudden visit of the members of the Sawada Clan. It looked like they were looking for trouble. "I can't let them mess with us. Stand your ground. If you have to fight them then don't back down. I'll go there." Nathan gave his command to Spider.
The Sawada Clan was so bold enough to threaten them in their own territory. Nathan wouldn't let this slide.
He hung up the call and went to grab his car keys. He ran into Jane and Ethan in the hallway. The two just finished eating their breakfast and were about to prepare their stuff for their beach outing.
"I can't go with you. There is an emergency I have to deal with," Nathan informed them.
Jane and Ethan exchanged glances with one another.
"What emergency, Dad? Can't someone else deal with it? Why do you have to go personally?" Ethan put on a pitiful look as he grabbed his father's hand. He wanted Nathan to join them.
"This is supposed to be our family outing, Dad," he added. Nôv(el)B\\jnn
Nathan took a deep sigh. "It's a matter of life and death for my subordinates. I can't leave them."
Jane blinked several times, trying to figure out what he meant by those words.
"Ethan, go and pack our stuff. I'm gonna talk to your father." Jane sent away Ethan first before confronting Nathan. She could somehow guess that this matter was related to the Syphiruz Mafia.
"You can't convince me to stay. I still need to go," Nathan said, walking past Jane as he headed to his room. He was in a hurry. But Jane continued to follow him.
"I'm not going to stop you, Nate. I'm here to know what is happening. What is this all about? Is the Syphiruz Mafia in trouble?" Jane asked him curiously.
"Yes. Unexpected visitors from a powerful clan suddenly showed up. And they are causing trouble in our headquarters right now." Nathan simply said, grabbing his car keys from his bedside table.
Meanwhile, Jane's eyes lit up when she heard Nathan's statement.
"Wait!" Jane held Nathan's elbow thus stopping him from stepping out of the room. "Are you referring to the Sawada Clan?" Nathan frowned. "How do you know them?"
Jane grinned broadly and replied, "I know them very well. Ethan and I are coming with you. I can help you deal with your problem today." She winked at Nathan while smiling meaningfully. She pulled his hand as she called for their son.
"Ethan, change of plan! We will go to the beach some other time. We need to accompany your father first."
"Okay, Mommy. I'm coming! Let's go."
Nathan yanked Jane's hand tightly, making her stop.
"What do you think you are doing? I can't put you and my son in danger. You have to stay here at home." Nathan was against the idea of bringing Jane and Ethan with him since a bloody fight might happen between the Syphiruz Mafia and the Sawada Clan.
"Trust me, Nate. I got this." Jane leaned closer and whispered, "I was the one who contacted the Sawada Clan. So don't worry. An unnecessary fight won't happen."
Nathan looked at her suspiciously. He didn't expect that Jane was the person behind this.
"What are you up to?" Nathan sounded displeased. He thought Jane was deliberately trying to create a conflict between the Syphiruz and the Sawada Clan.
"Stop asking. I'll explain everything later. We have no time!" Jane pulled Nathan toward the garage area. Ethan was following them behind. The three of them entered the car. Nathan didn't argue with Jane further. He decided to trust her.
Twenty minutes later, at Syphiruz Mafia's Headquarters…
A group of armed men were standing outside the gate of the Syphiruz Mafia. The members of the Syphiruz locked the entrance gate to prevent unwanted visitors from coming in.
Tatsumi was the one talking to Spider.
"How long are you going to make us wait? Are you messing with us?! Where the hell is your leader?! Did you deceive us about finding our Clan Leader's daughter?!" Tatsumi was losing his patience. He kept kicking the metal gate. Spider was watching them from the Gate tower. He was speaking to them using a speaker.
"You are mistaken! Our leader didn't send any message to your clan. Someone is setting us up, deliberately stirring a conflict between our organization." Spider tried to convince Tatsumi to believe him.
"We are going to use explosives to open this gate! How dare you treat us like this? We traveled from another country just to confirm the truth!" Tatsumi continued threatening them.
But this time Hanabi already stepped forward, holding a grenade.
Tatsumi's eyes widened when he saw her. He already knew what Hanabi was planning to do.
"Hey! Hey! Are you going to throw that thing to the gate now?"
Hanabi arched her eyebrow. "Of course. No more negotiation. I'm tired of waiting. Our Clan Leader is not in the mood as well."
Hanabi was about to throw the grenade when suddenly they heard the approaching car from behind. They also heard the honking sound. Everyone looked in the direction of the vehicle.
"Our Supreme Leader is here!" Spider blurted out. He felt relieved after recognizing Nathan's car.
After a few seconds, Nathan stepped out of the car with his domineering aura. His sharp eyes scanned the surroundings, observing the men who were now pointing their guns at him.
"Stay in the–" Nathan hadn't finished his words when Jane suddenly pushed the car door open and alighted from the car in a hurry.
Jane smiled at the first person who met her gaze. It was Mr. Hiroshi.
"Father!" She called out. Then without further ado, she ran in Mr. Hiroshi's direction.
"Jane, No!" Nathan wanted to stop her.
Mr. Hiroshi's men thought Jane was going to attack their clan leader so they didn't hesitate to pull the trigger and fired at her.
Bang! Bang!
Nathan's heart raced when he heard the gunshots, his eyes still following Jane. He was not able to react when she suddenly ran toward Mr. Hiroshi.
Fortunately, Jane managed to dodge the bullets using her reflexes and agility. She was unharmed upon reaching Mr. Hiroshi.
To everyone's surprise, Jane hugged the old man tightly and said, "Dad, it's me, Jane. Your missing daughter!"
Everyone fell silent when they heard Jane's last remarks. Even Mr. Hiroshi stood frozen in his spot, his mind still trying to absorb what was happening right now.
"A-Are you… really my daughter?" Mr. Hiroshi asked Jane in his trembling voice. He had been waiting for this moment. And he just hoped that this was not false information. He was dying to find his missing daughter.
Jane nodded as she tightened her grip on Mr. Hiroshi's body.
"Yes, Papa. It's me. Your daughter. I have so many ways to prove it to you. And I'm not alone. I have a little sister."
"My Mom… gave birth to another baby girl…"
Mr. Hiroshi could feel a connection to this woman. He broke the hug so that he could see her face. His heart skipped a beat when he saw her strong resemblance to his late wife.
"My daughter, Jane… my princess," Mr. Hiroshi mumbled, cupping her face. "I've finally found you."
Nathan, Tatsumi, Hanabi, and Mr. Kazuki didn't know how they would react as they watched this heartwarming reunion between the two.
'Is this for real? This beautiful woman is our Clan Leader's missing daughter?'
