100 Days to Seduce the Devil



Day Sixty-Nine…

~~*****~~

Sparks' Elite guards managed to apprehend three members of the King Stallion Mafia. However, they failed to stop Phoenix from taking away Jane. To make matters worse, the perpetrators also managed to kidnap their young master, Ethan. How were they going to face Nathan now and the Chairman? They just lost the most precious person, Ethan Sparks.

"Sir. I'm sorry. We failed to secure the young master," Mr. Ah, the head of the security team, informed Nathan through the phone call.

Nathan was on his way to follow the vehicle. His son was smart enough to send him a signal, tracking their current location. However, Nathan didn't know whether he should feel glad or not. He told Ethan to hide and keep himself safe. But the young boy disobeyed him, putting himself in this predicament.

"Take them to Axel. He knows how to handle them. Do not involve the police," Nathan commanded firmly. He had already briefed Axel on the situation and was en route to Zhou's Hospital to retrieve the captured King Stallion Mafia members.

Nathan immediately ended the call. He was utterly disappointed with the Sparks Family guards. Now, he would let the Syphiruz member handle this situation. He already asked Violet to mobilize their people. He needed backup. He also sent them Ethan's current location. The car was moving south. In just a few minutes, the car would be leaving Towerville City.

Nathan pressed down on the accelerator, increasing his speed. He needed to catch up to the vehicle that was carrying Jane and Ethan.

"I should have stayed in the hospital with them," Nathan muttered, regret reflecting in his eyes as he tightened his grip on the steering wheel. His heart pounded with anxiety, a deep-seated worry gnawing at him, as he feared for their safety.

Nathan couldn't help but blame himself. it appeared that he consistently fell short in safeguarding those dearest to him. 'Why can't I even protect them? Why?' He struggled with his inner feelings.

Meanwhile, the transport vehicle carrying Jane and Ethan continued to travel down the road. Two men were watching them inside while Phoenix was sitting in the front passenger seat. He contacted Vincent, informing him about the successful mission.

"My King, we secured Phantomflake. We are on our way to the medical facility."

"How is she?" Vincent asked him. He was glad to hear that Phoenix succeeded in his mission.

"She's unconscious, and she seems to be in a fragile state due to her illness. There's an oxygen mask attached to her mouth," Phoenix observed. Recognizing Phantomflake's vulnerability, he chose not to handcuff her.

"The young boy also shared with us that she's been unconscious for seven days," Phoenix added. Little did he know, Ethan deliberately revealed that information to make Phoenix and his subordinate lower their guard.

Vincent frowned upon hearing this. "Young boy? Who is this young boy?" he inquired, his confusion evident.

Phoenix bit his lower lip and ran a hand across his face. He hadn't yet disclosed to Vincent that he had captured and brought Nathan's son along with them. It had been a reluctant decision, especially after the boy had mentioned that Nathan and his men were in pursuit. It was unexpected that the child had willingly come with them.

"It's Nathan's son. He was there…inside the room when we took Phantomflake. I had no choice but to capture him." Phoenix didn't know how Vincent would react after hearing this.

"What on earth were you thinking?! You should have knocked him down and left him there. Why did you have to bring him with you?!" Vincent's voice rose with anger as he reprimanded Phoenix over the phone. This was not the right time to get Ethan Sparks. He had a different plan for him.

Phoenix couldn't utter a word. He could feel Vincent's anger and disappointment.

"Did he see your face?" Vincent asked him again, trying to control his rage.

"No! Sir! We are wearing masks!" Phoenix promptly responded, reassuring Vincent.

"Send him back now!" Vincent firmly said. He knew the consequence of touching Ethan. Nathan wouldn't stop until he could find them. Kidnapping Ethan was never included in his plan. This was a stupid move.

"Understood, my King. However, we don't have an extra vehicle available. The Alpha Team was apprehended while covering our escape earlier," Phoenix replied anxiously. He was worried Vincent would punish him for this.

"Phoenix!" Vincent's anger was palpable as he addressed his right-hand man. "Do I need to spell out the step-by-step procedure for you on how to safely return him?" he snarled at him. "You ensure he falls into a deep sleep, hail a taxi, and take him straight to the Sparks residence!" Vincent's frustration was fueled by Ethan's unwelcome involvement in tonight's incident. He knew that returning the child unharmed was for the best.

Phoenix bobbed his head frantically as if Vincent could see him. "Okay, Sir. I'll do as you say."

"Stop the car for a moment," Phoenix turned to the driver. Hearing his command, the driver stepped on the brake, halting the vehicle.

Meanwhile, Ethan wondered why the vehicle stopped. Did they reach their destination already? Bam-Bam was also there, accompanying Ethan. 

"Ethan, my master won't be happy once she learns what you did tonight," Bam-Bam continued to lecture him. But Ethan just ignored him. He couldn't talk back to Bam-Bam since there were other people present inside.

Bam-Bam found sighed helplessly, his fingers idly scratching his head. He understood the gravity of the situation. Jane would be furious if anything unfortunate happened to Ethan. Glancing at the time, a spark of idea suddenly ignited within him.

'When the clock strikes midnight, it's a brand new day,' he mused. 'That's when I can awaken Jane. She'll have the ability and strength to confront these assailants, safeguard Ethan, and make their escape.'

Bam-Bam meticulously calculated the passing minutes and seconds in his mind. At precisely the right moment, he snapped his fingers, conjuring a mystical light that enveloped Jane's form. Only Ethan bore witness to this enchanting spectacle, his young heart brimming with anticipation. He had been patiently awaiting this moment, firmly believing in Jane's ability to awaken and fight these men.

It did not take long before Jane opened her eyes. She met Ethan's gaze, giving her a signal.
