Chapter 120 - Living but not alive (2) (1/2)
Theo gulped his saliva and made him sink back to his chair.
”What's your price?” He instantly asked. There was no freebie in the world, this he knew. For whatever reason did the Black Dragon Club got a hold of April, that wasn't the problem now. The problem is, how to get her out of there!
Although the Black Dragon Club wasn't an evil organization like the Golden Triad. That doesn't mean that they were like harmless bunnies either. Why would that Organization be able to stand at the top of the food chain for many years?! That's because the main reason is, they are a neutral party. Their neither side the evil or good on earth. As long as they benefitted greatly with a task, they would disregard everything! For whoever slight them, they would uproot his/her families up to the 5th degree. No questions asked. Even if the main heads in the government knew and had suspensions, they wouldn't be able to find evidences. They didn't even know their main location is. Although the main leaders of the countries knew the name and the face, they couldn't slight them either. Fearing that they wouldn't even know how they died. The Black Dragon Club has this much power. Not only so, but also connections all over the world.
Hearing Theo's blunt question, Cefei could only calm himself inside. ”No worries Mr. Hawthorne. April is in good hands. Saving her was only done in the passing and not deliberately done. Unfortunately, when we arrived, Jackson had already drugged her to the extreme.
I believe that you knew of her case, so I could only say that she's back to her old state. You'll see it when you come. But before I give you the location, I need you to promise something. We aren't going to ask for a price but cooperation instead.”
Hearing the other party's explanation and intention, Theo felt somewhat apprehensive and worried. Still, he agreed. ”As long as it's within my powers.”
”Great. Our task was to find this new drug that the Golden Triad had made over the past decade and a half. It ultimately leads to Jackson and April's.” Cefei stood from his chair and move towards the window that oversees the London.
”If you don't mind me asking, What's this got to do with April?” Theo felt that there was more to the story. What kind of situation did he just land himself into?! The Black Dragon Club is one thing, working against another powerful organization is another! The Golden Triad, holy smokes!
”We are not certain of this situation yet. One thing is certain though, the Triad wants to get their hands on April. When we confronted Jackson, he said this and it didn't look like he was lying. But he didn't say what drug it was either. Unfortunately, he escaped. For what kind of drug they are concocting, it seems that April holds the key.”
”Why are you telling me all this? What do you need me to do? Although I am rich and a member of the Imperial British Family, I hold no true power.”
”Indeed. No matter, this is not what we need of you. The Club only wants to keep April and learn what we can from her. See if we can crack the drug that they are making.”
Hearing this kind of sentence made Theo's heart skipped a beat. ”YOU'RE GOING TO EXPERIMENT ON HER?!”
