Chapter 871 The Last Mission: A Threat
Day Ninety-One…
Mr. Hiroshi requested Kazuki to play with Ethan so that he could talk to Nathan alone. The two men were left alone in Nathan's office.
"My grandson is already three years old. Why didn't you marry my daughter yet? What is the real status between the two of you?" Mr. Hiroshi started interrogating Nathan.
"Do you even have a plan to settle down with her?" he added, his tone was as cold as a winter snow. He was worried about Jane because of Nathan's reputation. He was known to be a ruthless man. A devil. He didn't know why his daughter chose this dangerous man. He didn't want her daughter to suffer the same fate as her mother.
Mr. Hiroshi was still blaming himself for the death of Jane's mother.
"We got separated for three years. We have just reunited not long ago. So we are still in the process of getting to know each other," Nathan replied truthfully.
Mr. Hiroshi stared at Nathan intently. "If I were to choose, I don't want her to be associated with a dangerous man like you. I am afraid that her life will get ruined… just like how I ruined her mother's life."
"I want my daughter to live a peaceful life with her loved ones. I prefer to marry her off with an ordinary guy. Not a guy from a mafia organization." Mr. Hiroshi was very vocal about his opinions.
Nathan subconsciously clenched his fists. He felt like Mr. Hiroshi indirectly told him he didn't deserve Jane. He wasn't the one for his daughter. Despite the frustration he was feeling right now, Nathan knew that he should keep his cool. He shouldn't act disrespectfully in front of this old man. After all, this man was Jane's biological father.
"She chose to be with me. You can't force her to be with someone else."
Mr. Hiroshi arched his eyebrow, displeased by Nathan's last remarks.
"What can you do for my daughter? Are you willing to sacrifice things for her happiness? Can you protect her at all costs?" Mr. Hiroshi reflected on his shortcomings. No matter how powerful his organization was, he still failed to protect Jane's mother. He was afraid that Nathan would make the same mistake as he did.
He was just testing Nathan. He wanted to know what Nathan could do for her daughter. After that, he would decide whether to support their relationship or not.
"I'm not good at protecting people. But one thing I can assure you… I will bring hell to the people who will try to hurt her. And as long as she is with me… no one can harm her because she is the mother of my child." Nathan said those words with conviction.
'And I'm in the process of hunting them down…' he added in his thoughts while looking at Mr. Hiroshi meaningfully.
"As long as she chooses me, I'm not letting any guy marry her. My son doesn't need a stepfather," He boldly declared.
Mr. Hiroshi chuckled as soon as he heard that. "Are you threatened by Tatsumi?"
Nathan gritted his teeth and clenched his fists. "Jane doesn't need him. I can kill him anytime."
Mr. Hiroshi's chuckle bubbled up in the room. He could see a hint of jealousy in Nathan's eyes.
"Calm down, son. I won't give you a reason to kill my godson. Tatsumi is like my son. But I will still respect my daughter's decision. If she truly likes you then I won't intervene. But if you make her cry, I swear, I'll destroy you." Mr. Hiroshi gave him a warning.
"If I make her cry, my son will kill me first," Nathan sighed, thinking about Ethan. His son was very protective of Jane.
Mr. Hiroshi chuckled once more because of his last remarks. Indeed, Little Ethan was the number one protector of Jane.
"I guess my grandson will beat me when it comes to that." Mr. Hiroshi tapped Nathan's shoulder.
He was glad that Nathan didn't make any false promises. He could feel his sincerity.
"I will accept you as my son-in-law." Mr. Hiroshi gave his blessings to Nathan. Nathan was taken aback for a moment.
"For your information, I'm not in a hurry to marry my daughter off. For me, she is still my little princess."
'Sigh. Should I feel glad or not? Why do I feel like this old man doesn't want me to marry Jane yet.' Nathan shook his head helplessly.
Meanwhile, at the airport, Monica and Vincent had arrived. They were walking through the arrival gate when Vincent received a call from Phoenix, his right-hand man.
"Boss, we have a problem! Three of our branches had been attacked simultaneously! We suffered many casualties. And we've lost three transactions today!"
A cold glint flashed through Vincent's eyes when he heard the piece of bad news.
"Who did this?" He asked him in his stern voice.
"According to the survivors… the attackers are members of the Syphiruz Mafia!"
There was a moment of silence. Vincent gripped his phone tightly while clenching his jaw. He didn't expect that the Syphiruz Mafia would launch a surprise attack. 'Why did Nathan do this? As far as I know, our organizations haven't had direct encounters yet. Why did he suddenly attack our branches?!' Vincent was puzzled by this incident. 'Don't tell me Jane revealed something to him?'
"Babe, what's wrong?" Monica's voice interrupted Vincent's train of thought. "What happened?"
"Nathan made a move. He attacked my three branches." Vincent replied through his gritted teeth.
Monica was also surprised upon hearing that. "Is he aware that you are the real enemy? What if Phantomflake has something to do with this?"
Monica also suspected that Jane revealed something to Nathan.
"I'm not certain." Complicated emotions were evident on his face.
"What should we do now, Babe? Do you want to return and settle this problem?" Monica asked him expectantly. Deep inside, she didn't want Vincent to stay in this country. As much as possible, she wanted to prevent him from meeting Jane, otherwise, she was afraid Vincent would be stolen from her once again.
"No." Vincent firmly said. Then he talked to Phoenix from the other line. "Gather our men. You should follow us here. I will get my revenge. We will have to strike them in this country."
"Got it, Boss."
Monica pursed her lips. She didn't have a choice. She needed to eliminate Jane as soon as possible.
'Hmm. I should deal with Abigail first. She is Phantomflake's sister. Haha. In this life, I will make her loved ones suffer as well.'
Monica already mobilized her men. She was planning to do something to Abigail today, her first gift to Phantomflake.
'I shall deliver her sister to her… with a broken spirit. Haha. I will make Abigail blame her.' Monica smirked evilly at those thoughts. She couldn't wait to see Jane's reaction when she delivered her special gift to Jane.
"Babe, have you contacted Dave? Is he coming with his girlfriend today to pick us up here?"
Vincent nodded. "Yes. I just received his message. He and his girlfriend were already here, waiting for us. Let's go. We have to meet them at the arrival lounge."
"Sure, Babe. I can't wait to see them." Her smile was filled with malice.
