Day Ninety-Six…
Vincent was satisfied upon hearing Jane's response. She agreed to his proposal right away. Ethan, Nathan, and Mia were her weaknesses. She was willing to do anything for them.
"I'm glad you made the right choice. You will never regret this, Jane," Vincent said aningfully.
Jane could only sigh in defeat. Her body was still paralyzed because of the neuromuscular blocking drug he injected into her.
"I still have my conditions. Before we leave… allow to call Nathan for one last ti. I want to say goodbye to him and Ethan."
Jane still had a way to escape this. Since Vincent murdered her comrades, there was no need to stay longer in this tiline. She only needed to hear Nathan's confession to complete her mission.
After that, she would rely on Bam-Bam's promise. Her soul would be sent back to the present ti. Then Nathan, Ethan, and Jane would finally wake up from their coma state.
"Fine. I will give you ti to talk to him. But not now. He has a way to locate our current location," Vincent replied, gently caressing Jane's cheek.
Jane pursed her lips, displeased with the way Vincent was touching her against her will.
Knock! Knock!
Jane and Vincent were interrupted by the sudden knock on the door.
"Sir! It's . Phoenix. There is sothing urgent I need to report. May I enter?"
Vincent narrowed his eyes upon hearing his words. It sounded urgent.
"Co in!" Vincent responded. "What's going on?"
"Sir, it's impossible to leave the city by land. The Sawada Clan and the Syphiruz Mafia have surrounded the city. They block all routes with their checkpoints. They are all searching for Miss Jane." Phoenix delivered an update on the situation around the city.
Jane felt sohow relieved the mont she heard that. She knew that Nathan and her father would do everything just to find her.
'Don't worry, Nate. I'll make sure that we can go back to our present tiline. Just hang on a little. Everything will be fine soon.' Jane swore to herself.
"You don't have to freak out. Everything is under my control. Just call Marco and inform him of our current situation. He knows what to do," Vincent said, instructing Phoenix on what he should do.
Marco was one of his capable n. He had been assigned the task of rescuing Monica, and he had succeeded. Now, his task was to get him out of the city with Jane.
"Tell him to make a move in three hours. We have to leave this city as soon as possible before Nathan tracks our hideout."
"Okay, Sir. I got it!" Phoenix imdiately left to call Marco.
When Phoenix left, Vincent brought her attention back to Jane. "In three hours, the effect of the drug will completely disappear so I have to inject you with another drug. I can't lower my guard. I know you are capable of breaking free. You have to endure this for a while, Jane."
"Do I have a choice? Suit yourself as long as you will keep your word. I need to talk to Nathan and Ethan. Don't break your promise, Vincent." Jane wanted to make sure that Vincent wouldn't change his mind.
"Of course. I won't break my promise to you, Jane. Just be obedient to . Understand?" Vincent looked at her with a hint of warning in his gaze.
"I will not do anything that will endanger Ethan and Nathan. Don't touch them. That's our deal!" Jane reminded Vincent.
"I know. You are truly afraid of them getting hurt. You are even willing to obey . I envy my brother. You can humble yourself for him." Vincent smiled bitterly. He was jealous of Nathan.
"It's because I love him. I can sacrifice for him. That's what you called love, Vincent. Unlike you, you only know how to make people suffer… even your loved ones. You are selfish and greedy. You will destroy everything just to get what you want." Jane didn't feel the need to filter her words.
Vincent fell silent upon hearing her words. It was a bit harsh.
"Is that what you think of , Jane?" he asked, gazing down and clenching his fists. "All this ti… Nathan gets everything—a father's protection, his wealth, a complete family… including your love. Why can't I have those as well? I'm always left with nothing. Is it wrong for to seek my own happiness?"
Jane hissed at him. "So do you think stealing from Nathan can give you genuine happiness? No, Vincent. You are so wrong. You can have … my body. But not my heart. I will only love Nathan."
Jane's words were like sharp daggers piercing his heart. He couldn't deny them. But what could he do? He had already crossed the line… there was no turning back now.
"No matter what you say, Jane. You can't change my mind now. As long as I have you and I have Mia, that is enough for … to be happy," Vincent said aningfully. After saying that, he turned to leave. He didn't want to argue with Jane anymore.
anwhile, Nathan and Mr. Hiroshi were having a eting with their branch leaders. The room was engulfed with heavy tension. The two leaders were both in a foul mood, worrying about Jane's safety.
"Have you found them?" Nathan asked his n. "Did you get any clue about their current location?"
"We've deployed our mbers all over the city. However, until now, Vincent and his n have not been spotted in our search areas." Violet reported to Nathan.
"Sa with our team, Supre Leader. Forgive us," Spider apologized.
This situation was driving Nathan into madness. He wanted to find Jane too. But his n were all giving him a negative answer.
"The mbers of the Sawada Clan are also patrolling the areas. We might hear so updates from them soon," Tatsumi inford everyone.
"What will we do if Vincent has already left the city?" Mr. Kazuki voiced his concern. If that were the case, they would need to expand the search area. The worst-case scenario was Vincent and Jane leaving the country without their knowledge.
That question put additional pressure on the team.
"We will find them no matter what! I must find my daughter as soon as possible!" Mr. Hiroshi declared to them with so much conviction.
They were still in the middle of this important eting when a small figure entered the room without knocking,
"Gentlen." That tiny voice coming from the door drew everyone's attention.
"Ethan? What are you doing here?" Both Mr. Hiroshi and Nathan were surprised to see the young boy barging into the eting room.
"Dad! Grandpa… I know where to find my Mommy!" Ethan declared to them with certainty. His innocent eyes were staring at his father intently.
Everyone fell silent. How could the young master possibly find his missing mother? Nathan had used all his skills and resources to search for her, but he was still having a hard ti locating her location.
Without further ado, Nathan approached his son. He crouched down, grabbing the young boy's shoulders.
"Are you sure about this son?"
Ethan bobbed his head vigorously in response.
"Where can we find your mother?" Nathan asked him expectantly.
Ethan turned to the magical creature flying next to him. He was the only one who could see Bam-Bam. This magical creature inford him about Jane's current location.
"We can find them at this address, Dad!" Ethan showed him the location of Vincent's hideout.
