[ At Red Dragon Mafia's Hideout- Country M Branch ]
Alexander invited Vincent to his hideout. He would like to celebrate with him for what happened today. The two should rejoice in creating discord between Mr. Hiroshi and Nathan.
Vincent came alone, leaving Monica behind. Monica was still grounded for defying Vincent's order. Besides, she needed to stay in the hospital where Maximilian Carlsen was admitted.
Alexander's private room was adorned with mahogany furniture and porcelain decorators. A large window offered a stunning view of the city view at night. It did not take long before Vincent entered the room.
He exchanged a nod with Alexander who stood behind an ornate bar, ready to concoct a celebratory drink.
"Welcome to my cocoon!" Alexander said teasingly. He was in a good mood today. "Vincent, my friend, I trust you're ready for a toast to our recent success?" he raised a glass of liquor in front of him as he invited Vincent to join him.
Vincent greeted him back with a broad smile as he slowly traced his steps toward him. "Absolutely. How did it go?" Vincent was dying to hear an update from the Dragon Lord.
"Let me pour you a drink first," Alexander said, waiting for Vincent to settle down in his seat.
Alexander moved with practiced elegance, selecting various bottles of rare and exquisite liquors from his collection. He poured precise measures into empty crystal glass, placed in front of Vincent.
"Cheers to our success!" Alexander said cheerfully, raising his glass.
Vincent also raised his glass in agreement, a glint of satisfaction in his eyes as they clinked their glasses together, the tinkling sound resonating in the room.
The two of them savored the drink, the smile on their faces never left. As they took leisurely sips of the celebratory drink, they began to discuss their plans, alliances, and the updates of Alexander's meet-up with the Godfather of the Sawada Clan.
"Before we proceed to the exciting part..." Alexander paused for a moment before he continued his words. "I'm sorry for your loss. Your right-hand man suffered grave injuries. How is his condition presently?"
"He is out of danger now. But he suffered a third-degree burn on his right arm." Vincent felt sorry for Phoenix. He was like a brother to him.
"Did you find out the culprit?" Alexander asked him curiously.
Hanabi rubbed the space in between her eyebrows when she heard that. 'Oh Gosh! I knew it. How can I separate the two if they are always together?'
"Hana, you can tell me anything. What is bothering you right now?" Cherry urged her again to speak up.
Hanabi stared at Cherry, indecisive. "Che... I received an important mission from Uncle Hiroshi. But I don't know if I'm doing this right. I'm afraid, Sis Jane will hate me for doing this."
Cherry frowned as she became more curious. "What kind of mission?"
"I need to stop her from seeing Nathan and vice versa! Jane's father is against their relationship!" Hanabi finally shared her concern with Cherry.
"Huh? Why?" Cherry was surprised to hear that. "This is so sudden."
"Sigh. Uncle Hiroshi learned the truth about Sis Jane's identity as Phantomflake and her past conflict with Nathan. He even decided to have an arranged marriage with Tatsumi!"
"Oh my God! This is indeed a big trouble!" Cherry blurted out exasperatedly.
Hanabi nodded her head frantically. "I know right? My head is already aching from thinking about this. Uncle Hiroshi warned me not to disclose this to Sis Jane. I can't defy him!"
Cherry patted Hanabi's back to comfort her. "Don't worry, Sis. You don't have to defy Uncle Hiroshi. I can tell Sis Jane about this on your behalf." Cherry stated matter-of-factly.
Hanabi: "..."
Hanabi was stupefied for a moment, trying to digest Cherry's words. "W-What do you mean?"
Cherry flashed her wide grin and replied. "Since Uncle Hiroshi ordered you not to disclose this to Sis Jane, then you don't have to. However, since I already heard this,?I will be the one to inform our sis. Problem Solved!"
"OMG, you are a genius, Cherry!" Hanabi immediately hugged Cherry as if she just found her hero.
The two ladies burst out into a peal of laughter.
"Hmm. But I wonder how Sis Jane will react once she learns about the arranged marriage between Tatsumi and her." Cherry expressed her thoughts.
"Hmm. I am more worried about Tatsumi. He will surely be heartbroken if Sis Jane refuses this marriage." Hanabi replied, grinning from ear to ear.
Cherry: "..."
"Eh? Are you sure you are worried about him? Why are you smiling?"
