<h4>Chapter 706 Mr. Hiroshi''s Shattered Trust</h4>


    Day Seventy-Five…


    ~~*****~~


    [ At Cai Hotel''s Roof Deck… ]


    Avish table was set for a luxurious meal,plete with fine linens, elegant silverware, and a breathtaking view of the city skyline. The Dragon Lord wanted to impress the Godfather, preparing a feast fit for a king.


    It did not take long before the entrance door was pushed open. The Godfather arrived, his presencemanding respect and authority. He was escorted by several men in ck, headed by Kazuki.


    Mr. Hiroshi surveyed the setup with a discerning eye. ''I''m impressed. He still had time to prepare this.''


    Alexander stood up, greeting Mr. Hiroshi politely, a faint smile touching his lips as he gestured toward the array of delicacies adorning the table. "Thank you for epting my invitation, Godfather."


    Mr. Hiroshi just nodded before taking his seat, opposite Alexander. Since Alexander was alone, he motioned for the bodyguards to wait for them outside. Only Kazuki remained, apanying the two.


    "So what do you have for me? If you dare involve my daughter in this power struggle, I will not hesitate to destroy you." Mr. Hiroshi confronted Alexander directly. His tone held a threat. If Alexander was just an ordinary person then he would be intimidated by Mr. Hiroshi''s superiority.


    "Before anything else, I woulde clean first. To show you my sincerity. I''m returning your tworades." After saying that, Alexander grabbed his tablet, showing Mr. Hiroshi the photo of two members of the Sawada n whom they held captive.


    "Ahuh! So you were the one who tried to assassinate our leader!" Kazuki reacted exasperatedly, mming the table. He had been searching for these two missingrades for the past few weeks.


    Alexander didn''t deny it. Instead, he justified his actions. "The Sawada n attacked my headquarters. I lost several men. I just tried to get my revenge."


    "Your underling shot my daughter, Abigail. She almost died. Have you forgotten about it? I have all reason to attack your headquarters." Mr. Hiroshi spat back at Alexander.


    "We didn''t mean to hurt her. Our target was Nathan Sparks, not your daughter. She intervened by taking the bullet on Nathan''s behalf." Alexander tried to defend Jack.


    "We should call it quits! We are now even," he continued, a tone of reluctance in his voice, hoping to avoid further offense to Mr. Hiroshi. "I am here to apologize. And I am willing topensate you for the hassle I caused you." Alexander was handing over his two hostages to show his sincerity.


    "Good. Now, don''t waste my precious time. Why did you summon me here? What business do you have with me? As I''ve previously expressed, I''m uninterested in forging any alliance with you. I hope my stance is crystal clear." Mr. Hiroshi was firm with his decision.


    On the other hand, Alexander was still holding the hope of changing Mr. Hiroshi''s mind. He might have a change of heart once he revealed the truth to him.


    "Before refusing me, you should listen to what I am about to say first. This might change your mind," Alexander said, his eyes gleaming with hope.


    "Stop beating around the bush!" Kazuki butted in.


    Alexander nodded his head. "Let me ask you. Did you form an alliance with the Syphiruz Mafia just because Nathan found your missing daughter?"


    "Of course! Nathan won this alliance… Fair and Square." Kazuki spoke again, emphasizing hisst two words.?"That''s the deal for the alliance. It just so happened that he found Miss Jane first. So don''t be bitter, Dragon Lord. ept your defeat." He hated Alexander''s arrogance.


    Alexander''sughter echoed, dripping with mockery. "If that''s the justification, then you were misled by the Syphiruz''s Supreme Leader."


    "You ced your trust in the wrong individual, Godfather," he retorted, a tinge of disappointmentced within his words.


    Both Mr. Hiroshi and Kazuki frowned when they heard Alexander''s cryptic statement.


    "Stop ying mind games with us. Simply reveal the truth!" Mr. Hiroshi''s patience waned as suspense gripped him. Alexander sessfully piqued his curiosity and interest. What revtiony in store for them?


    "Brace yourself, Godfather. The truth you will know might shake you." Alexander grabbed his ss of wine, taking a sip before he continued revealing the truth.


    "Let me start by telling you the hidden identity of your daughter, Jane. Do you know that Jane is Phantomke, the legendary assassin? The leader of Phantom Assassin Guild." Alexander dropped the first bomb.


    Kazuki and Mr. Hiroshi sat in stunned silence, contemting whether to believe Alexander''s words or not.


    "Do you have proof? Are you trying to deceive us?" Kazuki was the one who broke the silence, seeking for evidence.


    Without further ado, Alexander gave his tablet to Mr. Hiroshi. All the evidence they''ve gathered was there– photos, videos, medical records, news articles, and other necessary documents.


    Mr. Hiroshi and Kazuki were silent as they scanned and read the pieces of evidence, proving Jane was Phantomke. Alexander gave them enough time to absorb what they were seeing. He let them process the information he provided them.


    Mr Hiroshi''s usuallyposed demeanor faltered, his eyes widening in disbelief as he felt a rush of conflicting emotions. The revtion struck him like a thunderbolt, shattering his preconceptions about Jane''s identity. His hands trembled slightly as he struggled to process the revtion, his thoughts racing, trying to reconcile the image of Jane, the woman he knew, with the revtion of her secret life as Phantomke.


    But that was not yet the most shocking truth. Among the pieces of evidence, they saw Nathan and his organization. It was said that the Syphiruz Mafia was the one who annihted and destroyed the Phantom Assassin Guild.


    "As you can see… you must now understand that you trusted the wrong person, Godfather. The man whom you thought became the bridge to reunite you with your missing daughter was the same man who hurt her and harmed her." Alexander was adding fuel to the fire.


    Mr. Hiroshi''s mind grappled with disbelief, denial, and a sense of betrayal, his heart sinking with the weight of the revtion. Nathan Sparks whom he thought could protect his daughter was the same person who made her suffer. It was an unimaginable revtion that shook the foundation of his understanding and trust.


    "Jane ended up in aa for two years. She just woke up recently. Nathan wanted revenge because Jane assassinated his beloved woman, Monica, the mother of his child." Alexander enlightened him further about the conflict between Nathan and Phantomke.


    Mr. Hiroshi could tell that Alexander was telling the truth. There was a medical record of Jane when she was still in aa. When Phoenix infiltrated the Syphiruz Medical facility, they managed to steal Jane''s medical records as well as video recordings of her being in aa. She was being monitored 24/7 even in her sickbed.


    The room seemed to echo with the weight of their stunned silence. Kazuki nced at Mr. Hiroshi, seeing the turmoil and disbelief etched on his face, mirroring his own sentiments. He could see the anger building up in his master''s facial expression. His face darkened in fury as his hand gripped the tablet tightly.


    "M-Master…" He called him with his anxious voice. He felt like his master was ready to kill someone right now.


    Meanwhile, Alexnder rejoiced, concealing the triumphant smile. He was satisfied to see Mr. Hiroshi''s reaction today.
