Chapter 227 - Grandparent Visit (2)

3 March, playground in City Park, City K

Meanwhile, Dominic ran across the space and called our "Grandpa, Granny," before flinging himself into their arms for a hug.

"Dominic, how are you?"

"Fine, grandpa. How are you?"

"Good Dominic. Now I need you to stay with your Granny for a few minutes as I need to get something."

Dominic was oblivious to the looks that were passed between the a.d.u.l.ts, and he said "Granny, how about we go to the fort over there."

After looking around, the response was "Absolutely Dominic," before taking his hand and walking towards the fort, slowly. When they neared the fort, Dominic pulled his hand out and ran into the fort and started to climb around.

As Madam Yao sat down her husband arrived back and sat down beside her before quietly saying "The guards your brother lent us have done a sweep of the area. There is no visible sign of anyone watching us, but they could not look too closely at people. They were conscious of the fact that they needed to be seen to walk through the park, rather than looking carefully at people. They commented that there were a few people they had suspicions of but could not check them out too closely."

"So, are they ready?"

"When I spoke to your brother, he said it was too risky, as to get Dominic into a vehicle we have a distance and if any of those people they had suspicions about…"

"Damn, we need to get Dominic away quickly. That court is going to prevent Richard's wishes for that b*stard he was forced to acknowledge as his, being fulfilled if he died. That child to disappear, and we to take all the money and kick Andrew and Chester Yao from the company that should have belonged to you and him."

"You need to calm down. Warren said that just because we cannot get Dominic today, he reminded me that all we need to do is persuade him to adopt the long-term position that he wants to live with us. Regardless of anything else, we know in the end the court will ask Dominic what he wants, and it will factor into the final decision. We work it right, he will hate his step-father so much that he will beg the courts to be placed with us, rather than to stay with his mother, then…"

"We can dump him in that boarding school where we know we will never come out from and take what is rightfully ours."

"Absolutely."

Before they could continue to discuss their plans, they heard "Grandpa come and play with me."

"Coming Dominic," he yelled out before saying quietly "Just remember we need to be patient and eventually we will get what we want."

"Fine, but you know we cannot wait much longer, as I have my suspicion that Dominic's real father is that b*stard Lexi married, and if he finds out the truth we will lose all that lovely money and our ability to seize control of Jax Corp."

Rather than answering his wife, he walked towards the fort where Dominic was calling our "Dominic Grandpa is on his way. Where are you?"

"Up here Grandpa," called out Dominic.

"You know Grandpa does not like heights Dominic."

"That is not fair Grandpa, how can we play here?"

"How about we head over to where the maze, the swings, the flying fox and other things are. We could even go and have a game of mini golf"

"Mini Golf! Yeah!" yelled Dominic. "I had so much fun last time we did that Grandpa. And…"

"I know, you keep telling me grandson, you beat me."

"And I scored a couple of holes in ones, and you got none."

"You know bragging about what happened is not good Dominic…"

"But Grandpa, it was the first time I won against you playing mini-golf, so I felt that I could do that."

"If you promise not to do it again."

Having finally reached his grandfather, Dominic threw himself at him for a hug before saying "Fine Grandpa."

Taking his hand, Dominic was led away from the fort towards the corner of the park where they exited to head to the mini-golf course that was located just across from the park for a round of mini golf.

Meanwhile, Warren Gong siting with a couple of his top men, and The Devil wearing a mask to shield his identity watched them walk across the street, while staying hidden.

Seeing the scene Warren turned and said, "Do you think we can assist my sister getting her grandson and spiriting him from the country? I told my brother-in-law no, but I still want your opinion."

The Devil said "Are to an idiot? We both have information that there is at least one net of security around him. I would suspect that there is some that we have not detected."

"You told me you would not interfere…"

"Warren, I get that you want to help your sister. Do not be an idiot and think. She has a court hearing regarding your great nephew tomorrow, and you and her want to jeopardise that. As I said you are an idiot. That needs to run, and is she wins then your acting to help her becomes unnecessary. But if she loses, we need a foolproof plan to snatch him before smuggling him out of the country to do what she wants. Without that, it will trace back to her and you. That we do not need, given our current plans for action."

"But family…"

"Stop it," spat out the Devil. "Achieving our goals has to be the focus. If we can help your sister, we will. However, if you want to focus on her, then I will end our partnership and we will fight each other. And you know my reputation, we fall out I will destroy you and I will win…"

"Screw that, she will just have to learn as she would be nothing without what our family has."

"I like to see that you have your priorities sorted. Now getting down to business, you need to divert your new weapons shipment from here to come in through City Z. Problematic I know, but my government sources indicate that there will be more scrutiny of vehicles coming towards the city by authorities as of rumours of a large weapons shipment. Some resources are being pulled from City Z for this. I have however fed through some channels some information to your competitors saying City K will be wide open…"

"And you will feed the information to the authorities as to where they will come from, letting me get my weapons in and taking the sales that they would have gotten."

"As I told you in a previous meeting, you cornering parts of the market is beneficial to both of us." The Devil paused and said, "We need to get out of here, as we will soon come to the authority's attention."
