Nathan frowned but seeing that the other party was confident, his curiosity kicked in, too.

"Shoot. What is it?" Nathan calmly asked.

"You are the tech guy among us so I know you can do it." Frederick started.

"I want you to hack the database of the Interpol and look for the case that happened almost seven years ago." Frederick seriously said.

Hacking the Interpol database was a piece of cake for Nathan. In fact, he was the one providing them with their security software. He would randomly hack into their system and then would send feedbacks to their IT department's head on things to improve on their security system.

Therefore, he knew the weaknesses of their security system and he could easily get in with ease.

"Oh. And why do you think I should do that?" Nathan raised a brow as he asked him.

The woman sitting on Frederick's lap earlier wanted to approach Nathan but he raised his hand and dismissed her immediately.

"Because if you won't, then, I'll keep doing what I just did and you'd suffer more loses." Frederick replied.

What happened today had caught Nathan off-guard indeed but he would make sure that there won't be next time in the future.

"Oh?"

"Do you think I'll be intimidated with your little threat? This is my territory after all. I control everything." Nathan confidently said.

"What if I tell you that I'm looking for the case that happened along the mountains of Himalayas almost seven years ago." Frederick said as he took a sip on his whisky.

Nathan's expression changed when he heard that case. However the shift in his expression was so quick that as if it didn't happen at all.

Though Nathan was quick in hiding it, Frederick could feel the atmosphere was changing.

"Oh. Did I just got your attention? Of course since you'll be doing me a great favor, I'll offer you a great compensation as well. The Heart's & Gems Corp. will sign an exclusive contract to your subsidiary company, Stones & Jewels Co. to be the exclusive supplier of diamonds and other precious stones in your jewelry collection." Frederick's offer was so tempting.

He was right. Their diamonds were one of a kind in the world. This was what the Heart family was known for in the business world.

But since Frederick had been treating him as a mortal enemy for the right hand position to serve the Lord, he chose to not get involved with him and looked for other diamond suppliers.

"Asking me to do something illegal and then compensate me legally was indeed a clever idea Mr. Heart. However, I'm not someone who would jump at the sea just because I saw an open chest floating on the water. I want to know what I'm getting myself into." Nathan seriously told him.

He's doing it not because he's afraid to suffer more losses nor because of that tempting offer. What made him to somehow agree was because this case involved Eve and Ana.

If Frederick Heart was up to no good, then he should do everything in his power to stop him before he'd discover the truth.

"Okay. When do you want the files?" Nathan asked.

"I know you'll be easy to do business with Master Bai. I need it as soon as possible." Frederick said.

"Give me a week. My hands are full with important things. More important than this." Nathan said as if the case was the least of his concern.

"And don't mess around while you're here unless you don't want to get your documents sooner." Nathan added.

"As long as you're not purposely delaying things, then we'll be fine." Frederick seriously told Nathan.

"Why would I do that?" Nathan asked him.

Of all people, he's more eager to get a hold of those files.

Those files concerned Eunji's safety after all.

"Good. Then I'll be waiting for it a week from now." Frederick finally said which made Nathan to be at ease.

"So does that mean you're staying here for the entire week?" Nathan asked.

"Do you expect me to go back then?" Frederick asked after he kissed the woman on his right.

"I didn't know Young Master Heart had a lot of free time for a vacation." Nathan replied him.

"Well, I'm still doing legitimate business with you so it's considered work." He nonchalantly replied.

"Do as you please but don't roam around as if you're in your territory. Even if your a visitor, I won't give you any special treatments." Nathan said as he was about to stand up.

"Leaving already? Come on! Join me and have fun with the girls!" Frederick invited him which made Nathan almost feel sick.

"Don't tell me you're now dancing inside the palm of your wife. You're letting her to control you know Master Bai. You didn't even know how to show respect with your guest. I'm really disappointed." He even shook his head as he showed his displeasure ignoring Nathan's killing gazes at him.

"See? This was the reason why 'No marriage' rule existed. It made you look pathetic." Frederick said but before he could even say another more, Nathan's solid fist had already hit his jaw.

Women screaming echoed in the entire room.

The punch was so strong making Frederick's neck to swing to his left and he spat blood on the floor while looking at Nathan.

Nathan could not help but curse deep inside his heart.

"Keep those shits about my wife to yourself if you still want to come back to the US in one piece." This was not a threat but a warning.

Nathan looked like he was out to kill someone and he looked really terrifying and intimidating.

"Master Bai, with this reaction of yours, you're revealing your reverse scale to your enemy. You better be careful. Our position as the Generals were the most coveted one."

"You don't have to remind me about that. After all, only us, the members of the council knew our identities. It's easier to haunt all of you down if something happened to the people I care about." Nathan said his piece and turned around as he wanted to leave the place.

"If you're not satisfied with the accommodation. Let me know. I'll arrange a better place for you." Nathan said in a business tone when he reached the door.

"No. This place is quite good. Add more women for me to play around and we'll be fine." Frederick said like he had not received a heavy punch from Nathan earlier.

If one would be asked to describe the relationship between the people in the council, that person could say that the relationship was weird.

It's not friendship nor being enemies, they spoke with their personal interest on the pedestal first and foremost.

Nathan then immediately went back home and immediately went into his private study and arranged some books on the shelf. Then a secret passage opened at the other shelf just behind his desk. This secret passage would lead him to his secret lab under their fortress.

Not even Eunji knew of this passage and this laboratory.

He then entered the door and he waited for it to close behind him before he placed his palm on the rectangular screen and then punched in a set of familiar numerical numbers.

A computer voice then started speaking asking him to place his eyes close to the screen for an iris scan.

"Authentication completed! Door is opening!" The computer voice told Nathan.

Then the door unlocked like that of a bank volt and Nathan got inside.

When the door closed behind him, he then pressed the down arrow button in front of him and the lift started moving downwards.

When it stopped, the LED screen lit up again asking him the personal question that only himself knew and is very important for him.

Nathan then typed in the answer and then it chimed.

The door then opened and Nathan walked out and entered a huge room with blue lightings.

This was Nathan's secret tech laboratory.

It's in this laboratory where he stored all of his invention prototypes and final products which had not gotten the chance to see the light of the day.

His inventions were safely stored in glass shelves located on the rightmost corner for safe keeping.

Aside from the glass shelves, many screens were hung up on the wall displaying real time monitoring on the inside of the house.

He had installed a lot of CCTV cameras on hidden places inside their mansion so he could monitor anyone in the house. The screen also showed the real time recording of the CCTV footages in his company.

He then took his seat and he worked on his keyboards.

He then scrolled on the live footages and selected the one which was showing his wife.

He heaved a huge sigh of relief when he saw her sitting on the couch while holding a maternity book with her headset on.

He then recalled that they'll be attending a yoga class for pregnant women on Monday. He had to be there and be supportive of her.

Nathan then adjusted himself as he sat down comfortably. Then, he started playing on the keyboard.

The screen turned black and chain of codes started appearing on the screen.

His hands started prancing on the keyboard and he paused when he saw that he was finally in after a few clicks.

While Nathan was busy, Eunji's phone rang.

Eunji picked it up not minding who was on the other line.

"Hello?" Eunji asked the person on the other line.

"I ne-ed your he-lp. P.l.e.a.s.e." then the call was cut off.

Eunji's eyes darkened as she realized who had just called her.

She then removed her head phones and rushed towards their room and changed into a much comfortable outfit.

She opened her phone and used a GPS tracker to trace where the call came from.

She then maneuvered her phone until she saw a red dot blinking on the screen. And it was not moving.

She then inserted an earpiece on her ear and started calling someone.

"J, I need back-up." She told J right after the latter picked up the phone.

"Okay, I'll send you the location." Eunji seriously said.

If this was in the past, she would go there alone but four lives were on her hands now and she could not bear to put herself at risk.

Derek and Darren rushed over when they saw her in a hurry.

The nurse and the other people assigned by Nathan to accompany her also came forward.

"Stay here! Boys, come with me!" Eunji said and didn't wait for the two to even respond to her as she went to Nathan's parking lot.

"Where to boss?" Derek and Darren asked Eunji as they were worried while following behind her.

"To kick some ass!"
