Chapter 274 – Cliste And Black Rose
Day Thirty One…
~~*****~~
Nathan was about to leave the Medical Facility of the Syphiruz to check and verify Cliste’s identity when Spider bumped into him at the entrance of the facility. Nathan stopped on his track when Spider called his attention.
“Supreme Leader!” Spider approached him.
“What is it?” Nathan was in a hurry. But Spider looked like he had something important to say.
“I already found out who was the woman who pretended to be our member. The one Spade mentioned to us whom he called SizzlingAugust08.
Nathan was stunned for a moment at the mention of SizzlingAugust08. He was curious who was the woman who pretended to be SizzlingAugust08.
“Tell me. What did you discover?” Nathan asked. He was now all ears on Spider. Though he wanted to leave as soon as possible, he had to hear what Spider would reveal.
“Miss Abigail Scarlett. She’s the one who was spotted in the airport, having a conversation with Spade. They had an encounter in the said Cafe.”
Nathan didn’t expect to hear Abigail’s name once again. ‘Abigail again? She was involved in this incident again…’
But he wasn’t as surprised as before since Ethan was close to Abigail. He thought his son was the one who let Abigail use his account as SizzlingAugust08. Besides, Ethan could access his account. Ethan was also the one who fought Spade when he hacked their security system in the facility.
“Does she know about your connection with the Syphiruz Mafia? What are you going to do about this, Supreme Leader?” Spider was troubled knowing that Abigail knew something about the Syphiruz Mafia.
“I don’t know. I will think about it first,” Nathan simply responded.
Nathan rubbed his temples. His head was aching once more. He could remember Spade’s confession. Abigail was the one who threatened Spade not to contact Black Rose once again. He wondered if Abigail knew the real Black Rose.
With this revelation, Nathan rejected the idea that Abigail was Black Rose. There was another woman whom Spade met at the airport. Nathan’s eyes lit up as he had an idea of how to find out Black Rose’s identity.
“Spider… among the people in the Knight Cafe, find out who was the woman with him,” Nathan ordered him.
Spider nodded his head and said, “I already got a copy of the CCTV inside the Cafe. Take a look at this.” Spider presented his phone, showing the recording inside the Cafe.
Nathan watched the video for several seconds. After a while, he saw a familiar face. It was Cherry, the New Chief of his house. ‘No way! This woman… is working for me.’
“Abigail and Cherry,” Nathan mumbled their names. He could somehow connect the dots now. Abigail was talking to Cherry when she mentioned Black Rose and the Phantom’s Assassin Guild. So that was the conversation he overheard in Aiden’s place.
“Thank you for informing me of this. I will deal with them myself. Now, go and check Axel’s condition first. I need to go somewhere.” Nathan had more reason to go to Towerville City Hospital.
“Anyway, good job!” Nathan patted Spider’s shoulder before leaving.
Spider could only smile in satisfaction. He knew that Nathan would give him another bonus for accomplishing this job. He had something to brag about with Joker. Joker failed to find a clue related to Black Rose’s identity. But Spider was able to kill two birds with one stone. He found out who pretended to be SizzlingAugust08. Then this led to the discovery of Black Rose’s identity.
“I wonder what our Supreme Leader is going to do with those two ladies. One is related to Phantom’s Assassin Guild while the other one knew something about the Syphiruz Mafia. Tsk Tsk Tsk. Our Boss will not be forgiving at this moment.” Spider mumbled while clicking his tongue.
Unknown to him, there was a person secretly eavesdropping on their conversation. It was Veronica. When Nathan left, Veronica came out of her hiding place.
“What did you just say? Abigail already knew about Nathan being a member of the Syphiruz Mafia?! Does she know that Nathan is the leader?” Veronica sounded annoyed. She didn’t hide her hostility towards Abigail. She felt threatened by Abigail’s presence.
For the past few days, she noticed that Nathan was always spending time with Abigail. She knew that Abigail saved Nathan’s life. This made her more upset because she couldn’t accept the fact that Abigail was the one who was there. Now, Nathan felt indebted to her.
“Yes, Lady Veronica. Upon my investigation and the facts I gathered, it looks like Miss Abigail has a connection with Black Rose.” Spider shared the information with Veronica.
He didn’t hide anything from her since he was thinking so highly of Veronica. Veronica was Monica’s sister so he thought this woman held a special place in their Supreme Leader’s heart. Some members were speculating that Veronica might become their Supreme Leader’s wife in the future. Sometimes, Veronica was acting as if she was the Queen of the Syphiruz Mafia.
“Who is Black Rose again?” Veronica asked him curiously.
“Black Rose is a member of Phantom’s Assassin Guild. The assassin guild established by Phantomflake.”
Veronica was taken aback for a moment when she heard that. That was Phantomflake’s assassin guild so Black Rose was a comrade of the woman who killed her sister.

“So aside from Phantomflake, there is another survivor! Wait… Abigail is connected to Black Rose?! Does it mean she is friends with an enemy?!” Veronica said expectantly.
Spider didn’t know whether to confirm it or not. He wasn’t sure about the degree of the relationship between Abigail and Black Rose.
“I knew it! There is something suspicious about that woman! Nathan should not trust her. He should kick her out of the mansion. She might be spying on him!” Veronica burst out. “That woman is pretentious. What if she was an accomplice to Nathan’s assassination? What if this was part of their strategy to gain his trust?!”
“We are not yet certain about this, Lady Veronica. So far, with Joker’s digging, we didn’t see Abigail’s involvement with Phantom’s Assassin Guild. Only now that we see the connections between Abigail and Black Rose. She was the one who threatened Spade not to communicate with Black Rose once again. But this doesn’t prove that Abigail is connected to Phantom’s Assassin Guild.”
“She might be Black Rose’s friend but not a member of the Assassin Guild…” Spider added. He could already feel that Veronica was unhappy to hear this news.
“Member or not, Nathan should stay away from her. He should ban her from getting close even to my nephew!” Veronica couldn’t control her emotions. She was venting out her frustrations. She couldn’t understand why Nathan was allowing Abigail to get close to Ethan.
Spider could only nod his head. He didn’t want to offend Veronica or oppose her opinion. Besides, he could understand where Veronica was coming from. Spider knew that Veronica was seeing Abigail as her rival for Nathan’s affection.
“Where is your Supreme Leader going?” Veronica asked, her brows knitted in a frown.
“I think he is going to visit Miss Abigail to confront her. She is still in the hospital…”
Spider was not yet done talking to Veronica but she already marched out. She planned on following Nathan. She was thinking of crushing Abigail into tiny pieces. She was always suspicious of her.
“My decision was right. I should have killed her. She should die, or else, Nathan and his secret will be jeopardized!” Veronica said through her gritted teeth. She was clenching her fists as she headed to the parking lot.

[ Towerville City Hospital: 15 Minutes later… ]
Meanwhile, Abigail was already preparing to leave the hospital. Ethan was already there to pick her up.
“Miss Abi. Are you done? Shall we go?” Ethan’s enthusiastic voice was heard. He was excited since Abigail was going back to the mansion today.
Abigail nodded her head and closed the laptop. She was done using it. Cherry was also there. She asked Butler Li to let her accompany Ethan when fetching Abigail from the hospital.
“Miss Abi, careful…” Cherry assisted Abigail in getting off the bed and standing up. She took the laptop from her.
“Thanks,” Abigail smiled faintly at Cherry. She was glad to see her today.
Ethan grabbed the hands of both women. He was holding Abigail’s left hand and Cherry’s right hand. The guards opened the door for them and escorted them out of the VIP Ward. They were already walking in the hallway when Nathan saw them.
The guards immediately bowed their heads upon seeing their boss.
“Dad! Did you come to fetch us?” Ethan’s cheerful voice greeted Nathan.
But Nathan ignored Ethan’s question. His attention was focused on the two women standing in front of him. He moved his gaze back and forth between Abigail and Cherry. Ethan just looked at him with puzzlement. He could tell that his father was not in the mood.
“Black Rose, Cliste… I finally found both of you…” Nathan mumbled, smirking at them coldly.
Abigail: “…”
Cherry: “…”
Ethan: “???”
