100 Days to Seduce the Devil

Day Seventy-Three…

~~*****~~

[ At Vincent's Villa… ]

Vincent had just finished an intimate moment with Monica. The two came out of the bathroom feeling refreshed. They put on some clothes when the butler knocked on their bedroom.

"Master, you have visitors," the butler informed them. "They are waiting downstairs… in the living room," he added.

Vincent and Monica exchanged glances with one another. They were not expecting any visitors today. 

"Who are they?" Vincent asked the butler who was standing outside the door.

"Mr. Alexander and two of your subordinates," the butler promptly responded.

A mischievous glint flashed through Monica's eyes at the mention of Alexander's name. For her, Alexander belonged to her as one of her toys. She loved playing with Alexander's emotions. She could still remember how vulnerable Alexander was when it came to her.

However, she couldn't flirt with him today because Vincent was there. She would allow the two men to talk to each other since she had something important to do.

"Go, Babe. Don't make our guests wait for too long. I'll wait here once you are done with your meeting with them." Monica gave him a peck on his cheek before pushing him toward the door.

Vincent descended the stairs to greet his unexpected visitors. Upon entering the living room, he was taken aback by the sight of Speed sitting beside Phoenix. His two subordinates stood up as soon as they saw their leader.

"Why are you here? I thought you were in Country R?" Vincent's brow furrowed with confusion as he regarded Speed. 

Meanwhile, Speed could only smile sheepishly as she greeted their leader. "My King… something came up. I had to come here to fix some issues related to our enemies."

Phoenix just scoffed at her explanation. His reaction didn't escape Speed's observant eyes, prompting her to narrow her eyes at Phoenix who had a smug smile on his face. 

On the other hand, Vincent redirected his attention from his subordinates to Alexander. "What brings you here?"

"We have an important matter to discuss," Alexander replied.

Vincent acknowledged the information with a nod, retracing his steps as he moved toward the plush couch. Taking a seat across from Alexander, he gestured for his subordinates to find seats as well. "Take a seat," Vincent commanded, a gesture that was mirrored by the others in the room. 

Once they had settled in, he leaned back in the chair, his posture a mix of attentiveness and curiosity.

"Now, tell me, what is the purpose of this unexpected meeting?" Vincent inquired, his gaze locked onto Alexander as he awaited an explanation.

Phoenix and Speed glanced at Alexander meaningfully as if they were acknowledging him as the right person to deliver the news to their leader, Vincent.

With Phoenix and Speed maintaining their silence, it fell upon Alexander to reveal the shocking truth they had uncovered earlier that day.

"The Godfather of the Sawada Clan... has two daughters. One of them is Phantomflake," Alexander disclosed, his voice steady, but his eyes betraying the gravity of the revelation.

Vincent's response was a moment of deep contemplation. He fell into silence, his mind working to process the implications of Alexander's statement.

"What did you just say?" a tumultuous mix of emotions played across Vincent's eyes as he struggled with the unexpected revelation. "Jane is the daughter of the Clan Leader of Sawada..."

Phoenix, Speed, and Alexander nodded their heads to confirm it. There was a moment of silence engulfing the living room. No one dared to speak, anticipating Vincent's reaction. They thought this shocking news would impact him the most.

However, to their surprise, Vincent's reaction was far from what they had expected. He burst into sardonic laughter, his amusement reverberating throughout the room.

"What a delightful surprise! This is indeed a piece of good news for us!" Vincent declared with an unexpected enthusiasm.

The three of them exchanged skeptical glances, their confusion evident. They struggled to comprehend Vincent's response – why would this be considered good news?

What do you mean, sir?" Speed inquired with a tinge of anxiety, her curiosity evident.

Alexander and Phoenix remained focused on Vincent, their eyes locked onto him, awaiting his explanation.

Vincent leaned forward, his voice laced with purpose as he revealed his strategy. "We now have the means to sow discord between the Sawada Clan and the Syphiruz Mafia. By utilizing Phantomflake, we can shatter their alliance."

He continued, emphasizing his point, "Recall that the Syphiruz Mafia destroyed the Phantom Assassin Guild, and Phantomflake nearly lost her life due to Nathan. If the Godfather of the Sawada Clan were to discover the truth about their past actions, his protective instincts for his daughter would surely ignite. Once he learns the full extent of Nathan's crime, he will harbor intense animosity towards Nathan and the Syphiruz Mafia."

Vincent's calculated plan was beginning to unfold, and the potential consequences of this revelation were vast and uncertain.

Speed's excitement bubbled over, and she clapped her hands in approval. "You're absolutely right, my King! What an incredible plan!"

Phoenix joined in the discussion, adding a crucial point. "This revelation will undoubtedly be a shock to the Godfather. As far as we know, the Sawada Clan and the Godfather are unaware of Jane's past as an assassin, concealed under the name of Phantomflake."

"I like your idea. This plan has the potential to dismantle the alliance between the Sawada Clan and the Syphiruz Mafia," Alexander acknowledged, his gaze thoughtful. 

"The Godfather may indeed seek retribution for his daughter's suffering. To do that, we must inform him and reveal the extent of Phantomflake's torment at the hands of the Syphiruz Mafia. I see this as a valuable opportunity to form an alliance with the Sawada Clan," Alexander added, recognizing the chance to establish a connection with the powerful organization.

Vincent expressed his agreement with a silent nod, his eyes gleamed with a profound sense of satisfaction. Deep within, he celebrated the potential not only to dismantle the alliance between the Sawada Clan and the Syphiruz Mafia but also to achieve another significant objective: to sever the connection between Jane and Nathan.

In Vincent's mind, there was no way in which Mr. Hiroshi would condone the relationship between Nathan and Jane, especially if he were to uncover the truth about the suffering Jane had endured at Nathan's hands. The prospect of this revelation, the unveiling of a deeply unsettling past, would undoubtedly be a harsh blow to their connection.

'Nathan... you shall never be with the one you love. I will go to great lengths to separate you. In this lifetime, happiness shall forever elude you,' Vincent silently vowed to himself.

"Alexander, you can start collecting proof of what the Syphiruz Mafia did to Phantomflake and her assassin guild. I will also help you document everything. We must reveal this truth to the Godfather as soon as possible!" Vincent said with urgency. He couldn't wait to see the chaos between the Sawada Clan and the Syphiruz Mafia. But he was more excited to see Mr. Hiroshi separating Jane from Nathan.

"Okay. I will mobilize my men to gather the things we need. Let's waste no time." Alexander smirked evilly as he could imagine the impending war between the Sawada Clan and the Syphiruz Mafia.
