100 Days to Seduce the Devil

Nathan's sharp eyes locked on their entangled hands. Frowning deeply, he quickly pulled his hand, unclasping their fingers.

He still considered Phantomflake as his enemy. He wouldn't dare hold her hand as if they were close.

"Don't stay close to me," he warned her coldly. "And don't touch me."

Jane pouted her lips in disappointment, putting on a pitiful face.

'Nathan looks like an untamed beast right now. With the way he looks at me, he seems like a predator eyeing his prey. He is ready to skin me alive and eat me. How can I restrain myself? I miss him so much. And he is here in front of me… alive.'

"Just follow me silently," Nathan added before walking ahead.

Jane could only tail him from behind obediently. She felt contented just watching his back up close.

'Nathan has broad shoulders. I really want to hug him and be hugged by him. Sigh. But he won't allow me. Right now, I am a complete stranger to him… someone who is talking nonsense.' Jane stomped her feet just to release her frustration.

They were immediately approached by Axel the moment they got out of the house.

"Sir, Is everything alright?" Axel asked Nathan worriedly.

Nathan ignored his question and said, "Bring her to the headquarters."

Axel shifted his gaze to Jane who stood behind Nathan. 'It appears to me that they made some kind of a deal. Phantomflake looks surprisingly obedient and cooperative. I wonder what they discussed earlier.'

There was nothing wrong in validating the truth first so Nathan agreed to Jane's proposal. For now, he wouldn't kill her just yet.

'I'll punish her severely if I find out she's lying.' He swore to himself.

Meanwhile, the members of the Syphiruz were a little bit disappointed with the lack of intense action tonight. Before coming there, they were excited to annihilate everyone, thinking they would be able to fight the members of the Phantom Assassin Guild.

However, Phatomflake's easy surrender was truly unexpected. They felt like they came there for nothing. Their Supreme Leader didn't look happy either. Nathan was still wearing his dark expression.

"This way, Phantomflake." Axel gestured for her to follow him.

But Jane glared at Axel sharply. "No. I'm gonna ride with your Supreme Leader!" She stated matter-of-factly.

Axel immediately glanced at Nathan, giving him a questioning look. He wondered if Nathan would allow Phantomflake to ride in his car.

As expected, Nathan looked dagger at Jane. "No." He sternly rejected her.

Without waiting for her response, Nathan strode toward his car.

Meanwhile, Jane and Axel just watched his retreating back. The two exchanged glances with one another.

'Should I handcuff her or not?' Axel scratched his face as he contemplated what he should do to Jane.

As if Jane had read his mind, she nonchalantly waved her hands and said, "Don't bother, Axel. I'm not going to fight you. I will come with you and behave." She even smiled to reassure him.

Axel blinked in amusement. He still couldn't get used to Jane's way of interacting with him in a friendly manner. Just a while ago, she was glaring at him. And now, she was smiling again.

'Damn. I just can't figure her out.'

Taking a deep sigh, Axel invited Jane to follow him. "Phantomflake, this way." he escorted her to another car.

No one wanted to join them in the car since other members were afraid of Jane. So in the end, Axel was the only person who accompanied Jane in the car.

They were about to leave when someone ran in front of the car, blocking their path.

"Stop! I'm coming with you!" Black Rose showed up as she chased after Jane.

Jane had forgotten about Black Rose's presence because of Nathan.

'Oh shit. I almost forgot about Cherry.' Jane smiled at her guiltily.

"Axel. She's my friend. Let's bring her with us. Don't worry. She is harmless."

The current Black Rose was only an expert in hacking. She wasn't good in combat and shooting yet. Her task only focused on hacking and computer programming.

In Jane's previous life, Black Rose just started training herself seriously after the massacre of their guild, thinking she was the only survivor left. She trained hard for two years since she wanted to get her revenge against the Syphiruz Mafia.

Axel had no choice but to bring Black Rose with them. But he made sure to handcuff her just for safety precaution. He was all alone in the car. He couldn't fight them together especially if Phantomflake was one of the enemies.

On the other hand, Nathan was very quiet in his car. He was sitting in the back passenger seat. He instructed the driver to tail Axel's car. He decided to monitor Phantomflake whether she would try to escape or she would be true to her words.

He leaned back, shutting his eyes while rubbing his temples. His mind was in a mess because of Phantomflake's words. He didn't know what to believe in anymore.

'Monica is not dead… And she's not Ethan's biological mother?! That's crazy. Why is Phantomflake claiming she is Ethan's biological mother? And why does she know too much about me and the people close to me?'

Lost in thought, Nathan suddenly recalled the stolen kiss and subconsciously ran his fingers across his lips. He cursed under his breath when he remembered the soft touch of Jane's lips brushing against his.

His heart pounded for some unknown reason, and this only ticked him off further. He hated it! He was completely mad!

He couldn't believe that he allowed another woman to steal a kiss from him. And to make matters worse, she was his enemy… the one who had assassinated 'Monica'.

'What kind of mind game is this, Phantomflake? What do you want from me?! Why are you trying to confuse me?' Nathan clenched his jaw so tightly that his gums almost bled.

He quickly picked up his phone and contacted someone. After a few rings, the call got connected.

"Joker, I need you to do something for me."

"What is it, Sir?" Joker had sensed the urgency in Nathan's tone.

"I want you to get Veronica and Ethan's DNA sample and compare it to Monica. Do it discreetly. I don't want a third party to tamper with the results. Send the results to me as soon as possible!"

Nathan didn't want to doubt Monica, the woman he loved… who had just died. But he needed to validate Phantomflake's claims.

'If she lied, I'll make her suffer tenfold.'

Meanwhile, at Syphiruz Mafia Headquarters…

"Ladies! I have a piece of great news!" Spider gathered the twin sisters– Violet and Chantha.

Violet and Chantha looked at Spider expectantly.

"What great news?" Both of them asked him in unison.

"Our Supreme Leader successfully captured Phantomflake! They are on their way to our headquarters! The mission is a success!"

Violet could finally relax. "That's good to hear. Our Supreme Leader suffered a loss. I feel sorry for him. He was supposed to marry Monica… but Phantomflake killed her during his marriage proposal. She deserves to be punished!"

On the other hand, Chantha puffed out her cheeks. "I don't want our Supreme Leader to be sad. However, I can't deny the fact that I don't like Monica for him."

Violet's eyes widened upon hearing her sister's remarks, and she immediately covered Chantha's mouth.

"Hey, don't say that. It's a good thing our Supreme Leader can't hear you right now. Otherwise, you'd be dead before Phantomflake."

Chantha removed her hands and stuck her tongue out.

"I'm excited to meet the legendary assassin in person! I wonder what Phantomflake looks like!" Chantha said enthusiastically.
