Chapter 196 – Mr. Hiroshi’s Story
Day Twenty Two…
~~*****~~
“Abigail, if I catch you first… prepare yourself. I don’t know what I’m gonna do to you…” Nathan mumbled to himself as he stormed out of the hotel. He was off to track Abigail and Mr. Hiroshi.
Nathan was annoyed and at the same time, worried. The members of the Sawada Clan were already on the move. Not only one group, but the entire members who came here were now searching for them.
‘What if the Sawada Clan will shoot Abigail on the spot?’ Nathan’s expression darkened further at that thought.
He sped off as he left the EDSJ Five Star Hotel, stepping on the pedal. As he was traversing through the city road, Nathan called Ethan.
“Dad? What’s up? What time will you go back home? Where’s Miss Abi?” Ethan asked Nathan excitedly. “What did you do in the hotel?” He bombarded his Dad with so many questions.
“Once our business deal is done, Abigail and I will return home. But for now, I need your help. Are you done creating Star_S?” Nathan asked his son. Star_S was another prototype patrolbot that can locate someone through a GPS signal and using someone’s phone number.
“Star_S is still a work in progress. But we can use its functions to locate someone’s location.” Ethan informed his Dad. “Do you need us to search and track someone, Dad?”
“Yes. I need your help. Can you operate Star_S now with the help of Powy and Riemc?”
“Yes, Dad!” Ethan said excitedly. He was also excited to use Star_S for trial.
“Find Miss Abi through her number,” Nathan requested.
“Eh? Miss Abi is missing?” Ethan gasped in surprise.
“No. She just left without informing me. I need to find her as soon as possible. Can you do that, son? Can you find her?” Nathan could find her location using his computer skills but he forgot to bring his laptop so he would give this task to his son.
“Okay. Dad. Just give me five minutes. Once I’m done, I will send it to you right away.” Ethan hung up and started to find Abigail through her phone number. The father and son duo were working together again to find Abigail.

[ Red Dragon Mafia’s Branch Headquarters…]
Meanwhile, the Red Dragon Mafia was notified that something happened in EDSJ Five Star Hotel. The person they sent to monitor the Sawada Clan in the hotel reported that the members left, riding eight different cars.
He didn’t know what was going on. All he knew was that members of the Sawada Clan were dispatched this morning.
“Dragon Lord, it looks like there is an emergency happening involving the Sawada Clan. Do we need to make a move?”
“No. Find out first what is happening there. Why did several members of the Sawada Clan leave the hotel? How about their Clan Leader? Where is he?” The Dragon Lord questioned the man who was currently staying in EDSJ Five Star Hotel.
“Okay, Dragon Lord. I will try to find out. But the Sawada Clan is very secretive with their movement.”
“If you can’t find anything significant, just stay there and wait. I will contact their middleman. The most important thing is they haven’t canceled our meeting with them today yet.”
The Dragon Lord stood up as he was preparing to leave the headquarters. Instead of going to EDSJ Five Star Hotel at around noon, the Dragon Lord decided to leave earlier than his prior schedule.

‘Why do I feel like something unfavorable is going to happen? I must meet their Clan Leader by today!’ The Dragon Lord felt uneasy. He wondered if the Syphiruz Mafia had something to do with this emergency situation.
But, Sawada Clan’s arrival to country M was a secret to other organizations. There was no way the Syphiruz Mafia found out about this negotiation.
‘I can’t afford to let other people ruin this negotiation with the Sawada Clan,’ Dragon Lord murmured to himself.

Meanwhile, as the two parties were busy searching for Abigail and Mr. Hiroshi, the two finally arrived at their first destination. The two of them dropped by the coastline of the Caspian sea on the outskirts of Towerville City.
Abigail didn’t expect that Mr. Hiroshi would like to visit the seashore.
“Do you love the beach, Mr. Hiroshi?” Abigail asked him curiously. The two were walking side by side by the seashore. They could hear the sound of waves kissing the sand.
“Yes. I loved the beach… because this was the place where I met my wife.” Mr. Hiroshi truthfully answered her, there was a hint of euphoria in his emerald eyes.
Abigail could only nod her head and continued listening to the old man. She didn’t ask about his wife. She was afraid that the man would think of him as a nosy woman if she asked him further about his private life.
“Why are you not asking me about my wife? Are you not interested in this old man’s love story? Are you bored now?” Mr. Hiroshi sounded so serious but his eyes were gleaming with humor. He was just teasing her.
Abigail immediately shook her head to deny it. “Don’t misunderstand, Mr. Hiroshi. This is the first time we met and I feel like it’s not my place to ask you a very personal question.”
Abigail flashed her faint smile and added, “But I can tell that you love your wife so much. I can see it in your eyes… and the way you mentioned her…”
Mr. Hiroshi let out a soft chuckle. For some unknown reason, he felt so comfortable in her presence. He was having fun talking to her.
“Yes. I loved her… but… I failed to protect her.” Mr. Hiroshi couldn’t hide the sadness and regret that he felt as he reminisced about the past. The old man stopped walking and turned to face the ocean. Abigail also halted on her steps.
She didn’t know what to say or how she would comfort him. She just remained silent. Telling the wrong words would just get her in trouble so it was best to keep her mouth shut.
Mr. Hiroshi was glad that Abigail was not asking him some questions. Her silence just encouraged Mr. Hiroshi to open up more. He had kept this in his heart for so long. He had no one to talk to about these things.
“I failed as her husband… and as a father. I had so many regrets in the past. Now, I want to make everything right. I just want to find my daughter.”
Abigail was taken aback for a moment. So she was right that this old man had been through a lot. She wondered what happened to his family.
“How did you get separated from your wife and daughter?” Abigail finally asked him.
“It’s a long story, young lady. Hmm. I don’t want you to listen to my tragic story. Sigh. My daughter is a grown woman now. Who knows she also has a family. Even if she will not acknowledge me as her father, all I want is to find her and know how she is doing.”
“How old is she now?” Abigail asked him with intrigue.
“If I’m not wrong… she might be 27 years old by now.”
