100 Days to Seduce the Devil

Day Fifteen…

~~*****~~

[ Country F: Private Warehouse… ]

Axel had been busy for the past twenty-four hours. He and his men were still trying to track and investigate the person who attacked Nathan. They found no leads as of now.

The mysterious attacker didn't leave any trace. It was so hard to know his identity. Nathan also failed to see his face.

But they were still checking every CCTV recording of the Royal Night Club that night. Nathan could identify his body frame and clothes.

However, because of last night's incident, Axel received another important task from Nathan. He and his men had to deal with Abigail's assailant and make him confess who was the mastermind.

Inside this private warehouse, the hired man who targeted Abigail was being tortured by Nathan's men headed by Axel. The guy was only wearing his boxers as three-fourths of his body was dipped in ice cold water inside a large drum.

Nathan made this special request as he remembered that Abigail wanted to freeze this guy last night in the bathtub.

The guy already received several beatings from Nathan's men before his sore body was put inside the drum filled with ice-cold water. The man was gritting his teeth and his body was trembling from the chill.

He felt like his body and nerves were going numb. The guy thought that he was about to die from hypothermia.

"H-Help… I-I'm… c-cold," He barely managed to say those words as he was trembling from too much exposure to the cold temperature.

"I-I… d-don't… wanna… d-die," he stuttered with his hoarse voice.

Axel wore his gloves and held the guy by his hair, tugging it tightly. "Are you willing to talk now and confess?"

"Y-Yes! Y-Yesss… I'll talk now!"

Axel glanced at his watch. It only took them five minutes to make this guy confess. He was now willing to talk.

'He is not a professional assassin.' Axel thought to himself.

"Sigh. You made the wrong move by targeting the woman who would become the future wife of our young master." Axel mumbled, referring to Ethan.

He thought the reason Nathan asked them to deal with this was because Abigail was an important person to their young master, Ethan. They didn't give other meaning to Nathan's behavior.

Axel motioned the other men to get him out of the water. The guy couldn't talk straight if his body would remain soak inside that drum filled with cold water.

As Axel watched his subordinates in taking the mab out of the drum and making him sit on the steel chair, his phone suddenly rang. He was surprised to see Nathan calling him through a video call.

Axel immediately pressed the answer button. Nathan's face came into his view. Their Supreme Leader looked like he had just woken up. His eyes were swollen and he had dark circles under his eyes, an indicator that he didn't have a good sleep.

How could he sleep if Abigail teased him like that? Abigail occupied his mind, that's why he was not able to sleep just thinking about her declaration– 'I will make you fall in love with me in 85 Days!'.

"Master…"

"How is the situation there?" Nathan asked Axel, rubbing his temples. He got a headache from the lack of sleep.

"The man is willing to talk now." Axel focused the camera on the guy who was trembling in his steel chair.

"Okay. Start the interrogation. I will watch," Nathan sternly said. He wanted to know who was the person who wanted to hurt Abigail.

Axel just nodded his head and averted his gaze back to the culprit. He picked up a sharp dagger to intimidate the man further. He played it with his hand as he began to question the man.

"Who sent you?" Axel directly asked the most important question.

The guy raised his trembling head to meet Axel's eyes and he responded. "It's a person from Country M. Jun Shen!"

Nathan frowned as he heard that familiar name. Later on, he remembered that Jun Shen was the former CEO of Shen Tian Company. Aiden already mentioned his name to him and his relationship with Abigail Scarlet.

'That pervert… fat bald old man,' Nathan thought to himself as he clenched his jaw. That man was the one who offered an indecent proposal to Abigail. He wanted her to become his mistress and in exchange… he would pamper her with money and resources.

He had the motive to hurt Abigail as he had a deep grudge toward her. She ruined his reputation and he was kicked out of the Shen Tian Company. His wife also divorced him.

"Are you telling the truth? If we find out that you are lying, I will definitely kill you and bury this dagger in your heart!" Axel threatened him, pointing the tip of his dagger on the man's chest.

"I'm not lying! You can even check my transaction. The money came from an account named Jun Shen!" The guy insisted. He didn't want to die. He was so desperate.

He gave Axel his online bank account to show the transaction money he got for this job.

"How much did he pay him?" Nathan asked Axel who was checking the man's online bank account.

"One Hundred Thousand Dollars, Master," Axel replied.

Nathan's eyebrow twitched and he pursed his lips. His face darkened as he didn't like what he had just heard.

'Only one hundred thousand dollars? Is that the worth of Abigail's life for them? How ridiculous?!' Nathan was getting furious once again for an unknown reason.

"Axel! Call Joker! Tell him to capture Jun Shen as soon as possible! He has to bring that man to me. Is that clear?" Nathan gave his new command.

"Yes, Master! I will inform him right away!" Axel promptly responded!

"What am I gonna do with this guy, Master?" Axel asked Nathan before he hung up.

"Just sent him to our underground prison cell in Country M. I'm not yet done with him," Nathan said meaningfully.

"No! NO! I thought you were going to let me go once I confess!" The guy felt alarmed, his whole being panicked as Nathan's cold angry voice sent shivers down his spine.

He continued begging but his plea just fell on deaf ears. No one would listen to him. Nathan's decision was firm.

Surprisingly, Nathan wouldn't let this slide even though this had nothing to do with him. He was supposed to let the police handle this case… but he exchanged his mind… because of a certain woman– Abigail Scarlett.

When the interrogation was done, Nathan searched for Abigail. When he woke up late, Abigail was no longer in his room. He just found out that Abigail already checked into another room.

Nathan immediately proceeded to her room to check on her. A few minutes later, Nathan was now standing outside Abigail's room. He rang the doorbell and waited for Abigail.

When she opened the door, Nathan's grumpy expression greeted her sight.

"Why did you leave without telling me? You didn't even bring your assigned bodyguards!" Nathan scolded her right away, surprising Abigail.

"Eh, I didn't tell you because I didn't want to disturb your sleep. Why are you getting mad at me? Do you prefer that I stay in your room and watch you while you sleep?"

Nathan was speechless and he couldn't refute that.

After a while, Abigail flashed her playful smile as she tiptoed, tugging Nathan's collar. "Ahem… Perhaps… Do you want me to take advantage of you while you are asleep?" Abigail bit her lower lip as she eyed him seductively.

Nathan: "..."
