In the evening, Mason, who had been waiting for Sean’s news, was staring at his laptop on the table in one of the five-star hotels in Markovia. Suddenly, his phone buzzed. The man picked up the phone and tapped open Messenger, and the message he received made his expression fall.
Sean texted, ‘Miss Jackson came over and looked at it for the whole afternoon, but she didn’t manage to discern anything. It seems like this woman called Rose has a powerful background, so I think it’s better to not investigate further about her.’
The man’s expression became darker upon reading the last sentence. What does he mean by not investigating further? In other words, is he advising me to let her go? How about the injured members of Black Rain? As the most powerful man in Asia as well as the leader of Black Rain, I have never suffered this kind of indignation.
Mason closed his eyes, struggling to calm himself down. Whether this person is a god or a ghost, it is impossible that she just disappears into thin air, so I will find her no matter where she is, he thought to himself before he took his phone and dialed a number. “Gather some men and take control of the Royal Garden in secret; I will find a perfect timing and we will make our move.”
The voice of the person on the other end of the line was deep. “Roger.”
She had been using that place as a hideout for more than once, so it is quite logical to assume that she is still there. If I launch an ambush there, the woman certainly can’t escape. However, my identity as the leader of Black Rain will be known by many after this, but it will be worth it if I am able to take her down. Clutching his phone tightly, a hint of a cold, vicious smile flashed across Mason’s eyes.
Meanwhile at the Royal Garden in Sandfort City, Janet entered the house while taking off her jacket.
“How is your injury? Does it still hurt?”
Desire shook her head. “I feel much better.” As she was shot by a rifle, her injury was way deeper than a pistol wound but after applying some specially-developed medicine, her condition had improved tremendously.
Janet nodded and walked to the living room, her medical kit in hand.
“Janet, this place may not be safe anymore. You’d better not come again after this,” Desire said with a frown on her face. Although they had been cautious with their actions, she was certain that the Black Rain would pay extra attention here since they had come over to search for them last night.
“There’s nothing to be afraid of.” Janet quirked up her lips. If that jerk dares to come, I will be the one to take him down first!
“Black Rain actually came to our door to search for us; they even used fighter jets against us.” Desire was pissed. Black Rain should really consider whose territory this Sandfort City belongs to. As soon as Janet’s man gives an order, they will certainly be wiped out. Let’s see if they still have the guts to be so arrogant when that time comes!
Janet blew on Desire’s injury and curled up her lips, a cold smile playing at the corner of her lips. “He can blow this place up if he wants to and nobody will stop him.”
Desire seemed worked up as she asked, “Janet, is Black Rain even more powerful than the Lowry Family? Even Mason can’t stop him?” If Mason is really not as powerful as Black Rain, it would be Janet’s loss to date the former, since she is, after all, the most powerful person in Markovia, Desire thought to herself.
At the mention of Mason, Janet’s initially curved lips suddenly flattened as she coldly muttered, “Don’t bring him up.”
Stunned, Desire frowned. “What’s wrong?” Her tone suggests that perhaps the two of them had a disagreement.
Janet confided the truth to her without hiding anything. “The man who declared that he loves me is the same person who is planning to take my life, and your injury was his doing as well. He couldn’t find me in Sandfort City, so he went to Markovia to look for me. He even said that he will skin me alive and throw me into the ocean to feed the fishes. More importantly, he said that I am an extremely cunning woman. Yet, the most crucial thing is that he declared to destroy my base.” With that announcement, a wry smile appeared at the corner of her lips.
