BXBX NOVEL Chapter 530 It Was A Set-Up!
The firemen were already extinguishing the fire when Nathan and Jane came out of the building. Kazuki felt relieved when he saw the three of them. He signaled the medic to come over. They immediately carried Mr. Hiroshi to the ambulance. Jane stayed with her father.
The ambulance was about to leave when Nathan stopped one responder. "Check her. She inhaled too much smoke," Nathan said, referring to Jane.
"Okay, Sir. We will take care of her," the medic replied, before joining Jane inside the ambulance. Nathan could only watch the ambulance with conflicting thoughts in mind. Mr. Kazuki mobilized his men to follow and escort the ambulance.
"Mr. Sparks, thank you for coming here and saving our master and young mistress," Mr. Kazuki bowed his head as he expressed his gratitude toward Nathan.
"No need to thank me. It\'s my responsibility to help. You are our allies." Nathan tapped Mr. Kazuki\'s shoulder.
"What happened here?" Nathan would like to know how their enemies were able to find out Mr. Hiroshi\'s whereabouts. He thought the Sawada Clan managed to hide Mr. Hiroshi\'s presence in Country M. How he became a target?
"What is Jane doing here?" Nathan added. He didn\'t know that Jane and others returned to Country M.
"I was supposed to be the one to meet the underground broker for an exchange of intel. But my master informed me to fetch Jane and Abigail from the airport and escort them. On behalf of me, Mr. Hiroshi decided to meet the broker and get some intel about the Raven." Kazuki clenched his fists.
"This was a set-up," Nathan speculated.
Mr. Kazuki fell silent and looked at him worriedly. "A set-up? Damn it! I became careless. I hope our Master will be alright."
"I\'m also worried about the police. They might discover my master\'s identity." Mr. Kazuki expressed his concern as he looked around. Aside from the firemen, there were also police officers who arrived.
"Don\'t worry. I will deal with the police." Nathan planned to use their influence to silence the police department about today\'s incident.
"Have you seen the two bodyguards?" Mr. Kazuki asked one of his men who was left behind.
The guy shook his head. "The two bodyguards are missing."
"How about the broker?" He asked him again.
"Negative, sir."
Kazuki and Nathan exchanged glances with each other. "Do you think they are the traitors?" Nathan frowned. The two bodyguards were suspicious. They disappeared on site.
Kazuki shook his head. "No. They belong to Sawada Clan. There is no way they will betray us."
"You never know, Mr. Kazuki. They can easily be bought with money," Nathan insisted. He could only suspect those two bodyguards. They should be found near Mr. Hiroshi. But according to Jane, she didn\'t see anyone besides her father.
"I know my men! We are like family. Our bond is strong enough. No one will betray us!" Mr. Kazuki was firm with his words.
"But where are they? The first thing they should do is secure their master. But they couldn\'t be found in the scene." Nathan questioned the reliability and loyalty of those two guards.
Mr. Kazuki gazed down. He couldn\'t refute that. He still couldn\'t accept that a member of the Sawada Clan would betray them.
"I\'ll find them!" Mr. Kazuki said through gritted teeth. "Please go to the hospital on my behalf, Mr. Sparks. Miss Jane needs you there. I have something important to do."
Nathan wanted to refuse but Kazuki already turned around and left. He motioned his men to continue searching for the two missing bodyguards.
"Axel," Nathan called Axel\'s attention.
"Yes, sir?" Axel moved closer to him, waiting for his instruction.
"Fix everything here. Make sure that the police officers and firemen who came here will not mention or report this incident to their headquarters. I will just go and check Mr. Hiroshi\'s condition." Nathan looked at the building one last time.
"Okay, Sir. Leave this to me. I will also assist Mr. Kazuki with what he needs." Axel reassured him.
*****
Meanwhile, two men were standing on the rooftop of the Crown Royale Hotel. Both of them were holding a glass of whiskey.
"Do you think our plan succeeded?" Alexander asked Vincent. The two of them saw the building explode just a few minutes after Mr. Hiroshi entered the building. There was someone taking a live video a while ago. But the moment Mr. Kazuki arrived, Alexander ordered his men to pull out.
"We will wait for the updates," Vincent smirked as he drank his whiskey.
"I heard the Sawada Clan is looking for an organization called the Raven. Do you know anything about it? Were you involved?" Alexander asked Vincent curiously. He wasn\'t sure if he could trust this man fully. He didn\'t know a thing about him. He was a mysterious guy and seemed to be more dangerous than Nathan Sparks.
Vincent chuckled. "There is no such thing as the Raven."
Alexander\'s eyebrows twitched together in a deep frown. "What do you mean?"
Vincent just shrugged his shoulders. He refused to disclose another piece of information nor elaborate on his statement.
They were still enjoying their drinks when Alexander\'s phone rang. It was the person whom they tasked to eliminate Mr. Hiroshi.
"My lord…" the man sounded anxious.
The crease on Alexander\'s forehead deepened further. He put the phone on loudspeaker mode so that Vincent could also hear the report.
"The Leader of the Sawada Clan was rushed to the nearest hospital. Several men from SYP Twilight Corporation responded. Nathan Sparks together with his assistant arrived at the scene. But aside from that, there is a woman with them." The man didn\'t recognize Phantomflake. He was not familiar with her.
"A woman?" Alexander mumbled.
"Yes, sir. I saw her accompanying Mr. Hiroshi in the emergency room."
"Maybe she is one of Nathan\'s branch leaders. Have you heard about the twins? Violet and Chantha," Alexander said.
"No, sir. She looks different from the Twins."
"Can you take a photo of her?" Vincent butted in.
"Okay, sir. I will try. They already transferred Mr. Hiroshi to the ward," the man reported. "I can\'t get closer. So many guards guarding them."
"It\'s fine. Just be careful not to be seen by them." Alexander reminded his underling. "I will send Jack over to support you. Spade can also hack the Hospital\'s CCTV footage."
Vincent chuckled with amusement. "Well. It seems that you also have a lot of reliable men on your side." Vincent was referring to Spade and Jack.
"Of course. They are my brothers," Alexander replied proudly.
It did not take long before Vincent received a call from Helena. "Excuse me. I will just answer this phone call."
Vincent distanced himself from Alexander before answering Helena\'s call.
"Babe! Where are you? Can you come over? I invited Dave." Helena informed Vincent.
"Where are you?" he asked her. He could tell that his woman started plotting a scheme using Dave.
"My hotel. I told Dave that you were here so you must show up." Helena demanded.
"Fine. I\'m leaving. See you there." Vincent could only sigh helplessly. Helena often made a move without consulting him first. But he could only spoil her by complying with her request.
