Chapter 127 - Opening Ones Eyes (4) (1/2)
Cefei leaned his head back and listened to a young man's outburst. He waited till the other line was done venting before he replied. ”I believe that we wouldn't have this situation unless someone brought in this rat or was careless.”
”What does that mean?” Ted asked.
”It's exactly as what you thought Mr. Lewis. Someone was being careless and brought this rat into the villa. Alex was being followed and brought Francesca's man into the villa. They had staked outside the villa for half a year and formulating a plan to get revenge.”
Everyone stared at Alex, shocked, anger and disbelief. Alex was shocked as well. ”F.u.c.k!” He cursed under his breath.
”Well, since this rat had brought herself out into my den. I could only play with her. Don't worry, our men are on their trail. We have already caught their hideout and that's the reason for our calling. By the looks of things, they didn't have any connections with the Golden Trial. Which was the main target on our part. We will hand over the location to you and it will be up to you how to handle it. I would also like to recommend not to call the police.”
This time, it was Theo who asked. ”Why is that?”
”It would alert the Golden Triad and would use this opportunity to capture April. Taking advantage of a messy situation, as they say. Just call the police once you are sure that April is safe.”
”Where is she?” Alex asked, almost in a whisper.
Hearing Alex's low voice, Cefei couldn't help but smirk. ”Alexander, I believe, right? Your wife had brought your Mistress to an abandoned facility near Cambridge. My men will send the location.”
As if on cue, Theo's laptop ping loudly. He instantly looked into it and saw an address, as well as pictures of the facility.
”If you're able to save her in time, then we will hand her to you and that would be the end of it. We have already extracted enough blood and studied her enough to come up with a conclusion. As soon as we have it finalized, we might be able to cure her. For how long would that take, I wouldn't be able to give you a timeframe. I believed Mr.Hawthorne's have enough men to pull this task.
If you wouldn't be able to save her, then that's that. We only cooperated with you because of the drugs in her blood. We already fulfilled our part of the cooperation and even extended out by giving you a lot to think about.” Cefei couldn't help but draw the line. He didn't want to help them anymore.
”If you knew that it was her the entire time! Why didn't you stopped it from happening?!” Alex couldn't help but be angry at the person on the other line.
”Simple. To bring justice, as they say. You need to catch the person on the act, Alexander. Only by doing so would it be much satisfying. We could have done that, as you said but we didn't. The Black Dragon Club is not entitled to handle your personal affairs. Your wife came to take your Mistress, I think that doesn't involve us anymore. It might sound cruel but we could've done worse. We could've let your Mistress died on the hands of Jackson.”
Theo glared his son. ”Shut up!” He too knew of this. Everyone does. On this planet, they could not afford to offend the Black Dragon Club. Especially that they had helped them so much!
