100 Days to Seduce the Devil

Day Seventy-Seven…

~~*****~~

[ At the Banquet Hall… ]

Hanabi secretly approached Mr. Hiroshi. Jane had already texted her about the situation. She needed to leave the headquarters together with Nathan behind Mr. Hiroshi's back.

"Godfather, I want to inform you that Jane and Tatsumi left together." When in front of the whole clan, Hanabi was obliged to call Mr. Hiroshi 'Godfather', instead of 'Uncle'.

"Huh? What happened to her meeting with the Dragon Lord and the King?" Mr. Hiroshi was skeptical, considering that it hadn't been long since Jane left to meet them.

"She's feeling sick so Tatsumi decided to bring her to his place. I think I should send off our visitors." Hanabi's goal was to prevent Mr. Hiroshi from finding out that Nathan showed up and what happened inside the private room. Who knows Alexander and Vincent might tell him regarding Nathan's presence.

"It's fine. I will meet them." Mr. Hiroshi stood up as he excused himself from his branch leaders.

Hanabi cursed inwardly, biting her lips. 'Damn. How can I stop him from seeing those two? I shouldn't have approached him in the first place.' She started to regret it.

"Godfather. No worries. You can just stay here. I'll talk to them on Jane's behalf." Hanabi tried her best to stop him.

"I can't ignore their presence. They might be expecting me. I'll go and meet them." Mr. Hiroshi was firm with his decision. If she continued to resist then Mr. Hiroshi might suspect something. She had no choice but to follow him.

They just got out of the banquet hall when they ran into Alexander. He immediately greeted Mr. Hiroshi, expressing his respect and politeness toward the leader of the Sawada Clan.

"Good evening, Godfather. I am pleased to see you here."

Mr. Hiroshi raised his eyebrow. "Why are you wandering around? You are not allowed here. You are supposed to stay in the private room."

"I apologize. I'm here to see your subordinate." Alexander shifted his gaze from Mr. Hiroshi to Hanabi.

Hanabi scowled at him, giving him a questioning look. 'What is he up to?'

"Why?" Mr. Hiroshi inquired curiously.

"Once I marry her, King Stallion Mafia will be yours. I will also help you in bringing down Syphiruz Mafia." Vincent added, still trying to convince Mr. Hiroshi.

Mr. Hiroshi burst into a sarcastic laugh. "You are too ambitious. Do you think I will just let my daughter marry a stranger? I can destroy the Syphiruz using my own power. Don't make me laugh, kid."

But Vincent didn't feel disheartened by Mr. Hiroshi's words. He remained composed and confident.

"If that's the case… then I must give you a more valid reason for me to marry your daughter."

The crease on Mr. Hiroshi's forehead deepened further. He wondered where this guy's confidence was coming from. He was as arrogant as Nathan Sparks. "Tell me."

"I met her six years ago. I'm the father of your daughter's child. Jane and I have a child." Vincent declared matter-of-factly. His gaze never left Mr. Hiroshi's eyes as he said that shocking revelation.

Mr. Hiroshi's jaw dropped, completely at a loss for words. How could that be possible?

"I have proof. I can bring to you your grandchild. You can confirm her identity. But on one condition, I should marry your daughter. I like her. I'll protect her with my life." Vincent was so determined to convince Mr. Hiroshi.

"A-Are you telling the truth?" Mr. Hiroshi found it so hard to believe.

Vincent nodded his head. "Just like what I said… you can confirm it once you see your grandchild. There are lots of ways to prove that she is mine and Jane's daughter."

"Have you told Jane about this? It's quite surprising that she never mentioned having a child. Did you keep them apart?" Mr. Hiroshi couldn't fully trust Vincent and had numerous doubts lingering in his mind.

"I apologize but it's a long story. I only revealed it to her a short while ago. She was taken aback."

'Is this the reason why Jane abruptly left with Tatsumi?' Mr. Hiroshi mused to himself.

"Fine! Bring that child to me! I'll find out if you are telling the truth." Mr. Hiroshi commanded him in his authoritative voice.

"Absolutely. I'll bring her to you. I'll dispatch someone to fetch her. She's currently in Country M." Vincent didn't hesitate, deeming this the opportune moment to play his trump card – Mia.

'I can't let Jane marry someone. And I don't want Nathan to win.' Vincent was hell-bent on stealing Jane away from Nathan.

"I am willing to listen to your story. I wanna know how you met my daughter." Mr. Hiroshi suddenly showed interest in Vincent. He wanted to know their story.

"Your daughter and I crossed paths in Country R. I've longed to meet Phantomflake, the renowned assassin. To make that happen, I enlisted her services to target me. She was on a mission to assassinate me when we first met. It was love at first sight for me."
