Arranged Marriage To The Princess Of The Red Scorpions Chapter 128
Advertisement
Lena was surprised by how quickly Genson showed up after she had called him. He must've been really eager to make the extra money. By looks. neither Clive or Hester seemed to be that thrilled to see him at the estate. They had never worked with him before, but they were well are of who he was.
"How may I be of service to you, princess?" He asked, taking a seat at the table checking before to make sure that it would be okay.
"Do you know who this person is?" Lena asked cutting straight to the chase by showing him the photo that Romeo had sent her on his phone. The owner of the jewelry store had managed to catch some photos of what happened since it took place right outside of his store. He didn't call the police since he knew who had been involved, but he tried to collect evidence just in case.
Genson took the phone so that he could get a better look at the picture. He stared at it a few seconds before he grimaced and looked up at Lena who was glaring at him while waiting impatiently for his reply.
"What might you want with this person?" He asked, handing the phone back.
"That's not for you to worry about, I just want to know if you know who he is or not." Lena repeated as she showed him the picture on her phone again.
"I do, but he isn't really someone I'd mess with. I believe that I worked for the family he's part of a while back on some kind of mercenary job or other." Genson replied.
"Is his name Russo Harrison by chance?" This time it was Evalyn who had spoken up. He glanced over at the woman whom he hadn't really paid much attention when he came in.
"Who might this be? I'm not familiar with her within this family." He commented as he began to look her over.
"Stop ogling and answer the question." The princess ordered, snapping her fingers to get his attention back on to her. Genson sighed as he turned back to the princess and crossed his arms over his chest.
"Yes his name is Russo Harrison. Right hand man within the Vedova Nera. I don't know which of the cousins he works for now, but I know he's a very loyal man though a touch of the unpleasant type to those from the outside." He explained.

"Why don't you tell me why you want something with him or what he has to do with you and I will tell if it's worth it or not."
"I'm the one here asking the questions and wanting to know the information. I'll decide whether it's worth it or not and you will just focus on giving me the answer to the questions that I am asking." The princess told him. He made a face when she said this but kept his mouth shut and waited to see what she was going to want next.
"Since you worked for them before, does that mean I can assume that there's an address that you can give me?" She then asked, glancing over at Hester who still had been typing away on his computer trying to dig deep enough to find what he was looking for. They were certainly good at knowing how to keep all of their information well hidden.
"Yeah, I can give you one. Not sure if it is one that they're using anymore, but you can check it out and see." Genson replied as he leaned back in the chair. Once Hester let him know that he was ready, he gave him the address that he last knew from when he worked for them.
Looking around the room and seeing who was present, Genson tried to consider what was going on and why the princess would suddenly request something more from than what had originally been agreed upon for their contract. Was it the fiancé? He tried to hide the small smile that was on his face when this realization dawned upon him.
Considering he knew who well both Zane and Julian could handle themselves, but both of them seemed currently absent and Leo, the brother was still there. The only one who could've possibly created such a reaction would've been if the fiancé was missing. An interesting little tidbit that would be.
"It might be a match." Hester said as he turned his computer around so that they could see the map.
"It could be on the edge of their territory which might mean it was taken over or they bargained for a different benefit in exchange for territory and gave it up. But it certainly couldn't hurt to look into and see what's there."
"Who would be available to go with Romeo?" Lena asked as she looked over the map. It was a little ways away from where Samuel last was, but it could certainly be far enough away to make a good hiding space.

"Alonso and Franco could go. They haven't been out much recently and I'm sure the would enjoy this type of task." Clive suggested as he tried to go over everyone that he trusted enough to send considering how delicate the matter was.
"I might recommend Jeff's brother, Dean. His skills in fighting are not the best but he's good at being quiet and analyzing the best way to sneak in and out of places without getting caught."
"I'm sure he would like to go, but right now he should be staying in the hospital with this brother. Too many overcharged emotions involved wouldn't be good right now." Leo was the one who brought this up. Having been out of the country until recent, he wasn't that aware of who the best candidates his father uncle and sister had been training, but logical reasons to or not do something was one thing that he could apply to the situation.
"He's right." Lena agreed as she closed her eyes and tried to think. It had only been four hours but she was certain that a lot of moving around and other things had been done by Jovani or whoever was in charge by now.
"If it is all the same to you princess, I think that we would be better off waiting a while longer and seeing what happens?" Hester suggested after a few minutes of looking through some other information that he had been sent.
"Why?" Lena demanded, she wasn't fond of inertia and the current situation didn't seem like one to her that would benefit from them losing the element of surprise if they had all the information that they needed to move first without be suspected or caught.
"The information right now almost feels too convenient. I don't want to dampen any spirits with this line of thought, but if we don't yet know what they want and we end up catching them off guard, it could create a disaster especially if the timing is off and they end up not being there yet." Hester explained.
"Secondly, if we move without caution, it puts a bigger chance of putting the young Sir at risk if they end up felling like the only way out of the situation would be to use him as a guard. Based upon what I am finding and hearing, it sounds like they will be likely to get in touch with you again because there's something they want from you. Hence, I think that it would be best to wait for now." The little princess didn't like what he had to say, but she couldn't deny that he had a point in what he said.
Although she didn't like to admit, inaction seemed like the best course of action even though it felt to her like she would be letting Samuel down not doing everything she could, but without all the information yet- the wrong move could be just as problematic as giving the other side the advantage. She found herself lighting the pipe again as she tried to think about what to do.
"Now there, that's twice already. Too much of that stuff in your system isn't going to make things better right now." Leo told his sister as he came over to take the pipe away from her knowing that it wouldn't help her current frame of mind.
Before he had a chance to take it from her, she grabbed his hand which caused him to stop immediately. Although the expression she gave him was one that spoke of how calm and collected she was being, the way her hand was shaking when she grabbed his told him otherwise. Without saying anything, he held up his hand to let her know that he understood what she was trying to convey to him.
"Lets wait a while longer then. Father and Uncle will most likely be home before long and they will want to be filled in on what's going on. Since Uncle knows something about Jovani, it might prove helpful." Lena said, breaking the heavy silence that had filled the room. It was the best that she could do for now. The other part was just hoping that she wasn't making the wrong decision.
