Day Fifty-Three…
~~*****~~
Axel and Chantha were both amused by Jane's confidence. There was no hint of fear and anxiousness in her eyes.
"Yes, he got so answers. But he gained more questions and mysteries to solve." Chantha responded while taking a deep breath.
"Do you plan to make things hard for our Supre Leader? As expected of the infamous assassin. Phantomflake. What else do you have on your sleeve?" Axel asked her, worried about the ntal health of their Supre Leader.
Nathan couldn't sleep lately. And he was so stressed and exhausted by the things happening around him. He was also troubled by the fact that Phantomflake was the missing daughter of Mr. Hiroshi.
Her assassin guild had been annihilated two years ago. But now, she regained the title of the Young Miss of the Sawada Clan. She would beco the heir of this powerful clan.
"Our Supre Leader has arrived," a mber of the Syphiruz Mafia declared, making the people inside the white room know about Nathan's presence.
Followed by his announcent, Nathan entered the room. He was still wearing the sa stoic expression as he faced Phantomflake.
"Supre Leader!"
Both Axel and Chantha acknowledged his presence, greeting him in unison.
Nathan just gave them a simple nod. Then he motioned for Axel to give him the docunt. Axel handed it over to him imdiately.
"Leave us," Nathan mumbled in his authoritative voice, shifting his gaze to Phamtomflake.
Chantha and Axel quickly stepped out of the room, giving Nathan and Jane so privacy to talk. Nathan made sure to switch off the CCTV caras inside that white room so that no one would hear their conversation. He only wanted to keep this discussion between them.
Jane stopped eating as she focused her full attention on Nathan. The guy didn't look good. He appeared to be tired, and haggard, dark circles could be seen under his eyes.
'He is under a lot of stress lately. I am worried about him. He hasn't completely recovered from his injury yet. I don't want him to get sick.' Jane was saddened by that thought. Her feelings were transparent in her expression.
Nathan was taken aback to see a hint of worry in her eyes as she looked at him.
'She is giving such a strange gaze once again.' Nathan couldn't get used to it.
"Do you want to finish your food first before I start discussing sothing with you?" Nathan toned down a little bit.
Jane was caught off guard by Nathan's sudden thoughtfulness.
"No. I'm fine. What do you want to discuss with ?" Jane was now all ears on him.
Nathan stared at her aningfully and responded. "I'm accepting your offer. I'll let you live for 48 days… but you will work for and you will do everything I will say. Obey all my commands."
"47 Days to be exact," Jane interrupted him.
"After that, give your word… As you said, if I still want to kill you after, you are willing to die in my own hands…"
"Yes! I'll do that. I promise. I won't escape nor harm you." Jane reassured him.
But Nathan couldn't trust her completely so he needed to threaten her.
"Yes. Don't try to sche against . One wrong move… I won't only kill you… but… I'll kill your sister first." Nathan was referring to Black Rose aka Cherry.
Jane could understand why Nathan wanted to hold Cherry as his hostage. He was aware that Black Rose was very important to her.
"I know. I understand. I won't do anything to put her in danger. I will leave her life in your care. I won't betray you." Jane mumbled with so much conviction.
"Just don't say those words. Show with your actions." Nathan coldly said.
Nathan gave the docunt to Jane. "Here. This is our contract. I won't harm you in the next 48 days. But you have to cooperate with . Do as I say."
Jane accepted the contract docunt, her eyes scanning the content and clauses of the contract. She read six important clauses stipulated in the contract.
[ 1. She will work under him for 48 days and must fulfill every task he will give her. ]
[ 2. She is not allowed to disappear from his sight and the spying eyes of the Syphiruz mbers. She will always be accompanied by a mber of Syphiruz. ]
[ 3. One mistake ans death. She must not plot any sche against him. ]
[ 4. She shouldn't seek help and assistance from other groups. Once caught, it will be an instant punishnt. ]
[ 5. After 48 Days, she is willing to die at his hands. ]
[ 6. She must never tell anyone about the torture she experienced at the hand of Syphiruz and keep her identity as Phantomflake, especially to the Sawada Clan. She shouldn't stir a conflict between the Syphiruz Mafia and the Sawada Clan. ]
After reading the contract, Jane could tell that Nathan was planning to put her under strict surveillance. Soone would be watching her twenty four seven.
But Jane frowned upon reading the last clause. Why did he ntion the Sawada Clan in the contract? She had no connection with the Sawada Clan.
"You have to sign this as proof of our agreent. No external faction is allowed to intervene with our contract." Nathan emphasized this because he was thinking about the Sawada Clan. He thought Phantomflake might ask the Sawada Clan to protect her against him.
"Wait. I'm confused about the last clause. Why did you include the Sawada Clan in the contract?" Jane asked him, puzzled.
"You will know soon. Just sign the contract. I am warning you once again. You are not allowed to confide with your subordinate about our contract. If you don't want Black Rose to die, you should keep your mouth shut and you must behave." Nathan reminded her once more.
"I know what to do. I'm not a fool. I am aware of what you are capable of doing. You can be a devil with no rcy. I will not go against you this ti. Because I want to live longer," Jane replied.
"I assure you. I will serve you and do anything you want to pay for my cri," she added.
"One more thing… I want you to stay away from my son. Avoid him as much as you can." Nathan added another rule.
Jane wasn't happy when she heard that. 'He forbids from getting closer to Ethan…'
