Chapter 646 - Secret Door

When the door opens, their eyes squinted at the sudden light. Senator Rizza closed her eyes and take time to adjust in the brightness although it is not too bright. But coming from a totally dark forest, she would need time to adjust in the light.

When she opened her eyes, she saw that it was a dimly lit staircase that she assumed to be about a hundred steps. There were lights on the wall to make the steps visible. General Grady started to take a step down the staircase.

Senator Rizza followed.

"What do you mean General Grady is a member of the Robin Hood Society but he is not?" Senator Rizza looked behind her asking the driver but was taken aback. She didn't expect the driver to be so good looking. He looks like a guy next door type of guy. And he also looked familiar to her.

The driver grinned at her. "Please watch your step, Senator Rizza."

His grin is mesmerizing yet it gave her chills at the same time.

Senator Rizza is now starting to question her decisions and judgment. They were just supposed to talk about the information General Grady has about the heiress of the Robin Hood Society and yet, she allowed them to take her to this creepy place that they said to be the headquarters of the Robin Hood Society telling her that they would take her to its leader.

And ever since then, their answer to her questions has always been confusing.

She is now suspecting that they did something to her that made her not think properly.

At the final step, they enter what seemed like a secret underground passageway. It looked old that one would think that this used to be a secret hiding place during a war. The thought caused her goosebumps.

It was so quiet that only their footsteps were heard but why does it seem like there is more than just three pair of footsteps she could hear. Or is it just her hallucination?

"General Grady, this is taking us long. You just have to give me the information that you have about the heiress of the Society. But why do you have to take me here?" Senator Rizza said behind General Grady. She didn't hide her impatience and irritation.

General Grady stopped in his track and turned to face Senator Rizza. "Senator Rizza, a king once said, impatience for victory guarantees defeat." That's when Senator Rizza noticed the change in General Grady's voice.

Her eyes widened upon realization. "You..."

Suddenly, the wall on her left opens. She didn't notice that it was a door until just now.

A tall, handsome and impassive looking man appeared in front of her.

"Boss, special delivery." General Grady said.

Senator Rizza looked at the impassive looking man that doesn't show any emotion and General Grady bewildered.

Who is this man that a military general like General Grady is calling boss?

"President is waiting." The impassive looking man said.

President? Did that mean, General Grady really did take her to the leader of the Robin Hood Society which she believed to be its heiress, Jenny Do? Then... this means, General Grady is really a member of the Robin Hood Society and works for them. And she let him take her to them. Realization dawned on Senator Rizza.

"Right! Right!" General Grady said enthusiastically which made Senator Rizza looked at him. This is not how she knows General Grady. He was always stern and strict. But this man is way too laid-back.

"Damn it!" Senator Rizza cursed making the three men looked at her. "You...you're not General Grady."

But no one answered her, instead, the impassive looking man said. "Get inside. Chairman Parker is on his way."

"No!" Upon hearing the name, Senator Rizza finally confirmed that she is abducted and she willingly let them take her."Damn it! Who are you?! I'm telling you once I get out of here, I'll never let you get away with this!"

But the three men ignored her and forced her inside.

Meanwhile, inside Jacob's SUV.

"Okay, dad. We are on our way." Jacob said on the phone then he hangs up.

James who is driving glanced at the rearview mirror. While Arthur who was sitting on the passenger seat looked at his watch. When he told Jacob that he wanted to come, Jacob didn't oppose the idea. Jacob knew that even Arthur wanted his own tit for tat.

He left J with Daniel knowing that Jacob wouldn't let him come if J would be left alone.

"James, can you drive faster? My hands are itching." Jacob stated his impatience to get his hands on Senator Rizza.

James nodded his head and speed up. The drive from the Twelve Army headquarters to the headquarters of the Robin Hood Society is thirty minutes but James took it only for 15 minutes.
