Hearing the news of what happened to Jin Jie, Su Ying was really angry that he beat the poor jail guard.

“Nathaniel Bai!”

He shouted Nathan’s name like he was cursing him. Nathan was really unaware that what had happened to J had now become his fault.

If they knew that Eunji was still alive, they’d put the blame onto her. But since she’s now dead, they placed the blame on Nathan.

The jail guard had become his punching bag and had poorly accepted his fate in the hands of this cruel old man.

Su Ying beat him until he was no longer moving.

Su Ying then grabbed one of his burner phone and called Hades. He seemed pissed off after it took some time before he answered his call.

“Sir Su!”

“What happened to my grandson?”

“Sir, don’t be shocked when I tell you about something.” Hades sounded as if he was sincerely cautious to not give him (Su Ying) a heart attack when he told him of the news.

“You don’t have to tell me. I already know what happened.”

“I’m very sorry Master. We really didn’t expect for Nathaniel Bai to do it to Young Master Jie.”

“Tell me of what really happened. I want to know how Nathaniel Bai killed my grandson.”

Hades knew that this plan won’t work so they had to make a perfect explanation. A perfect made up explanation.

“A couple of cars had blocked Young Master Jie’s car from going to the airport. We have collected the evidence that he’s heading to Italy. I have messaged him where I was and so I thought he’s going to meet me here.”

He even heaved a sigh to show that he was really felt bad of what happened, “But then, these cars blocked his car making him to drive to the railing of the bridge and fell down. The CCTV footage showed the KSA agents going out of the car.”

And then, to make his words believable, he added, “I’m afraid that they had known about your true relationship with him and was now looking at him as a traitor and so they chased him until he was cornered.”

“KSA? Aren’t they under Kim Eunji?” Of course he knew even about this detail. Thanks to his connection from the outside.

“Yes, Master. However, now that she’s dead, Nathaniel Bai had taken over their organization.”

He sighed once again from the other line before he continued, “We have not recovered his dead body, Sir. But because of the fact that he had been submerged under water, he’d probably be unrecognizable once we found him.”

A moment of silent had passed and Hades waited for Su Ying’s command.

“If there’s no body, there’s a possibility that he’s still alive! Look carefully. I want to see my grandson when I come. Dead or alive!” He said before he ended the call.

With what happened to Jin Jie, he would not just sit back and wait inside this place. He had already conquered this place successfully and it’s now time for him to come back to the real world and face his enemy.

Should J be dead, he also wanted to take his revenge on Nathan and the entire KSA for killing his grandson.

He looked at the jail guard who had passed out on the floor and kicked him harshly.

He then called on the people outside to take him away and threw the body somewhere else.

He didn’t even check if he was still breathing or not.

Two men in uniform entered the place and dragged their comrade out.

Before they left, Su Ying spoke, “Prepare the airplane. I’m leaving this place tonight.”

“Okay Sir Su.”

And just like that, the most notorious criminal had left the International Prison together with his newly hired men. These men were his fellow criminals who had helped him in taking over International Prison days ago.

Inside the airplane, they were like playing with their new toys- high powered guns which Su Ying had stolen from the jail guards.

“Today’s the day that we stepped out and leave the place that had prevented us from living a normal life. They had locked us up inside the island and marked us as criminals. Now that we’re free, let’s show them who we are!” Su Ying told the twenty proud criminals with him causing them to cheer and yell like spartans.

“Aho! Aho!”

“Well, Sir Su, we really never regretted the day that we had chosen to stick to your side. We really thought we’d grow old and die in that place.”

“Oh! Franklin, I did tell you to just believe in me and you’ll be blessed, right? And I did fulfill my promise to everyone.”

“Yes! And because of that, we vow to be by your side and protect you always.”

“Good. Once that you’re reunited with your families, I hope you won’t forget about your promises.” Su Ying smiled widely.

These men around him came from rich and influential families. Some of them were drug dealers and illegal arm dealers. Some were traffickers, killers and many others. They’re big shots and their cases were so big that they’re transfered into International Prison from regular prison cell as they were afraid that they could easily escape given how influential their families were.

They were bound to rot inside until Su Ying came and helped them in devising a plan for not only a successful prison break but also a successful takeover of power and authority inside.

“Of course, Sir Su. We’ll never forget this day and your help.”

With that, Su Ying had found an additional support behind him.

Su Ying and the rest were heading to Beijing. And from there, they’d go the separate ways so they could visit their families and would gather around once again when Su Ying called them.

Meanwhile, back in the Mercenary Conference, ever since after the first game, something weird was happening to Frederick.

He had grown clingy to Asia and the latter was not used to this attitude of his.

“Frederick, let me remind you that the man who’s going to marry my granddaughter is still undecided.”

“I know about that Sir. However, as I battled with the others, the more I realized that my feelings about her are real. I could not bear to part with her.”

“Really?” Mr. Alinsky only raised a brow at him. He also looked at Asia to look at her reaction but as always, “Babe, stop it. I know you’ll win your match today. So you don’t have to part with me.”

Frederick had a sword duel with his opponent at the ring.

The game had long started and a few of the men chosen by Mr. Alinsky had already lost the game. Though they were guests, they’re unlucky to be matched with merciless opponents inside the ring and lost tragically.

There were remaining five who were still waiting for the match and he was one of them.

Before the game, Francais did tell him that he’s going to win the match.

Back in the control room, everyone were looking for Toby.

They kept on asking Taylor of his whereabouts since they’re siblings.

“I don’t know where he is. He didn’t go home since last night, too. But I know my brother, he’s probably busy doing with something.”

And since she knew Toby better than anyone else, the rest believed him.

“Right.”

Just then, Eunji entered the room and she immediately looked at President Williams.

“President.” She didn’t forget to greet him. However, she didn’t expect for him to ask her.

“Where have you been Demi?”

“Oh. I’ve been everywhere, President. Why?” She asked him back after she gave him a vague answer.

“Someone told me that you’re not in your room last night.”

“Wow! And since when does my whereabouts concerns you, President Williams?”

“For the sake of everyone’s safety, I have to know everyone’s whereabouts.” His answer was as if he was really concerned about everyone’s safety.

“Wait a minute. You smells fishy President Williams. Why? Is there something that we have to know here?

“Shut up! Don’t try to stain my genuine intention.”

“I’m not. But the way you talk to me is as if I have done something so suspicious.”

“Toby’s missing and you’re not in your quarters last night. You could be the primary suspect if he would not show up.”

Eunji didn’t know whether she should either laugh or cry because of what President Williams said.

But would she admit her involvement?

“President. Before you’re going to point your fingers on me, why don’t you tell everyone why a person who’s supposed to be still inside the International Prison is freely watching this conference like a VIP? Does he even have the invitation?”

“What?” As expected, the eight others were surprised.

“Stop spouting nonsense!”

“Nonsense? I have bumped into him earlier. He seems to be seeking refuge under your wing. Am i right. President?”

“President, you’re keeping a convicted criminal with you? What if the authorities will come and find him? Are you sure that we’ll be safe here?” The first in rank immediately asked him.

“Relax. All of us are criminals here. After all, we have taken many lives. And so if the interpol would come and search this place, we’ll go to jail.” Eunji said cooly.

“Shut up! No one’s going to prison! That I assure you!”
