100 Days to Seduce the Devil

Chapter 798  Face-Off

Day Eighty-Three…

~~*****~~

Jane willingly cooperated with Vincent's men. She glanced at Nathan and Ethan for one last time before the car sped up, leaving the father and son.

"Mommy Jane!!! Don't leave us!"

Ethan cried and called her as they watched the car driving away. Nathan could only clench his jaw while hugging his son's body.

At that certain moment, his heart was shattered into tiny pieces. Vincent's scheme succeeded. Jane made her choice and he couldn't do anything about it.

'She chose Mia and Ethan's safety. I understand… but I can't accept it. It hurts a lot…' Nathan thought to himself as he guided Ethan back to their car.

"Dad… I'm so sorry. It's my fault. It's because of me… we lost Mommy Jane. I'm so sorry, Dad." Ethan apologized in between his sobs. He was blaming himself for what happened.

Nathan's heart ached further as he watched his son.

"No. It's not your fault. Don't blame yourself." Nathan tried to console his son, even though he was also trying his best to control his raging emotions.

He felt like he was going to burst and go berserk but he needed to calm himself for Ethan's sake. His son was not emotionally stable as well.

"Will she go back to us, Dad? Are we going to see her? Dad… let's tell Gramps about this. Mommy Jane is being blackmailed. Gramps will help us." Ethan was referring to Mr. Hiroshi, Jane's father.

"Okay, Ethan. Stop crying now. We will fix this. I will not give up on her. We will find a way to get her back." Nathan reassured his son. n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

Ethan nodded, wiping away his tears. He would listen to his father. He believed in his father's words.

Nathan decided to bring Ethan back to the mansion. Ethan fell asleep after getting exhausted. Nathan carried his son, bringing him to his room.

He hadn't recovered from what happened earlier. Jane was taken away from him just like that. He felt useless.

Nathan left Ethan in his room and headed to his own room. He punched the wall to vent his anger and frustration.

"Master, is there something wrong?" Butler Li suddenly spoke up from behind.

"Oh, you're bleeding!" Butler Li immediately grabbed Nathan's fist.

But Nathan didn't say a word. He stood in his spot, still thinking about Jane.

"Butler Li, please take care of my son, Ethan." After saying that, Nathan walked to his desk and picked up his gun from the drawer.

Butler Li was taken aback for a moment. "Master, what will you do with that gun? Where are you going?"

"I'm going to have a face-off with my half-brother." Nathan declared through his gritted teeth.

Vincent could take everything from him except Jane and his son. He didn't care about the company or any wealth. All he needed was Jane… to be with Jane and Ethan.

Nathan walked past Butler Li. He was in a hurry to leave the Sparks Mansion. He would confront Vincent.

But before he could take another step, Butler Li stopped him, grabbing his wrist.

"Master, you have to calm down. What is going on here? Let's talk first." Butler Li didn't want Nathan to go and meet Vincent in his current emotional state. He could see the anger and hatred in his eyes. If the two brothers would meet, he could tell that they might kill each other.

"Don't block my way, Butler Li. Time is of the essence. If I wait here, I might not be able to take Jane back," Nathan said sternly.

Butler Li fell silent. He realized that this conflict had something to do with Jane. He wondered what his nephew did this time.

"Master, clear your mind. Don't act so recklessly. Miss Jane is not a fragile woman. She can protect herself. Don't you trust her?" Butler Li tried to convince Nathan to calm down by using Jane.

When Nathan heard that, he eased up a little. Yes. It was true. Jane was not a weak woman. But… Vincent was the person who caused Jane's misery. Vincent was the person who made Jane vulnerable. He exploited her weakness. "I have to protect Jane from Vincent. He is crazy. He is obsessed with my woman. He will keep hurting Jane and she will keep hating him. Vincent is a selfish and greedy jerk! I can't allow Jane to be with him. He has to kill me first."

Nathan yanked his hand away from Butler Li. He continued descending the stairs but Butler Li followed him again.

"This is a suicide, Nate! Will you charge into an enemy's territory by yourself with just one gun? You are the Supreme Leader of the Syphiruz Mafia. You should act accordingly. Use your head! Be wiser than Vincent." Butler Li suddenly burst out, unable to control his emotions. He reprimanded Nathan as if he was doing the wrong thing.

Nathan was dumbfounded for a moment. He let his anger consume him. He didn't think of the possible consequences of his actions. He just wanted to confront Vincent and take Jane back.

Nathan clenched his fists and narrowed his eyes.

"If you were in my position, what would you do?" Nathan asked Butler Li, his eyes staring at him intently.

Butler Li met his gaze, not breaking their eye-to-eye contact.

"I will gather my team and formulate a strategy. It's better than charging into the enemy's territory using just one gun. Do you think Vincent will be merciful enough not to kill you?" The crease on Nathan's forehead deepened further. "You sound like you know him too well."

This time Butler Li was rendered speechless. He was caught off guard by Nathan's last remarks.

Since Butler Li didn't say another word, Nathan continued his steps, heading out.

Butler Li could only sigh helplessly while watching Nathan's back. He felt conflicted right now. For some unknown reason, he didn't want to witness Nathan and Vincent killing each other.

'Things are getting worse. Instead of fighting each other, there is something they must pay attention to. Monica is still at large. She is the most dangerous person for both of them.'

Butler Li had been trying to track Monica but he failed to get information about her whereabouts. She hid herself so well.
