Chapter Seventeen
Just then, her phone rang and she picked up as soon as she saw who the caller was.
"Hello, sir," she spoke. Everyone knew who it was and imdiately, all walking stopped.
"I received an anonymous letter today. Why would anyone send a picture of you entering a plaza?" Imdiately those words were out, she straightened her back. It was where she had t Aht. The crazy bastard. He sent those to him.
"Talk." He demanded but she remained silent. She didn't know how much information he had received. If she said anything, it would rather implicate her.
"Are you seeing anyone I need to know?" He asked and she almost let out a loud sigh. Aht picked the lowest among all the things he could blackmail her of. This was his warning.
Good thing. The bad news was, that Aht was her match. He knew how to play gas. She wasn't expecting anything less since she was equally as cruel as he was if not more than he was.
"I needed to check sothing out. I heard the President was having a eting with the P.C.D Force. I wanted to be sure they weren't going to sell us out. However, it was the wrong address. I left imdiately after I noticed." She told him.
Ever since she ca face to face with her enemy, she found out she could lie too. She indeed knew the President of the country was eting the private Force he ford to eliminate the bad people. Most Mafias including herself had signed a bond with them. It was purely business. To help the country with money and to deploy n when the country needed n to fight for them. In return, they go about their business without any interruptions.
But of late, child trafficking and other uncalled-for violence were increasing and they believed so Mafia groups were in charge of the operation. She needed to be sure they weren't counting her people to be part of that vile operation.
Her adoptive father knew about this. She had already sent him her report. Just that, she needed to associate that with the picture he had received. To draw his attention to the fact that she was busily doing everything she could to make him proud.
"But why would anyone send this to ?" It seed her lie didn't work. What has gotten to him and asking questions off late? He usually ignored things regarding her.
Had he started doubting her? This was all Aht's fault. If he were to tell him she had unregistered n and gave him proof, her adoptive father was likely to believe him.
"Not so sure. We can have our tech guys look into it." She tried brushing it off as if to tell him she had far more important things to do.
"The tech guys?" Mr. Marco asked, not satisfied.
"They could hack into their systems and figure out what happened when I entered the Plaza or after I entered. Maybe soone is sending us a warning." She again answered as if she weren't interested.
That must've done it. Everyone knew she didn't care about danger. If anyone was sending her a warning, she never cared. She'd do it all over again until she got what she wanted.
However, she only hoped her father was cliche enough not to question why anyone would send a warning through a picture.
And she hoped that Aht hadn't sent anything more than a picture and the Plaza didn't have any evidence left of her eting him there.
However, if she had gotten the wrong address that day, he could've gotten the sa wrong address too. The problem was, why wasn't just the two of them?
'Stop screwing things up for !' she almost wanted to yell but only spoke to herself as her father was still on the line.
He had hung up even before she knew it. No goodbyes were said to her. Even though this could be her last operation.
Asli pushed open the heavy doors of her nightclub's secret door, "Blood Moon." The pulsating music and dim lighting enveloped her. She scanned the room, her gaze locking on the unwanted visitors.
They'd been harassing her staff for days, trying to strong-arm her into selling the club.
Her eyes narrowed. She thought she had made it clear to them that Blood Moon was off the market.
She signaled one of her n. He walked closer to the boss and imdiately, all his n stood up in defense.
Sixteen n. She counted.
