Chapter 53 Little Master Sent The Private Jet
Day Five…
~~*****~~
[ At Syphiruz Headquarters…]
Nathan was sitting on his single leather couch with an upright posture. He crossed his legs and waited for his men to speak up, relaying the information they've gathered from the opposing faction.
Yesterday, he had to fly overseas to deal with the problem of their branch. An opposing faction sabotaged Syphiruz's operation. They were making a deal with another organization for smuggled firearms.

The underground world was filled with heavy tension as of now. It seemed that two powerful mafia organizations were planning to declare war.
This was so unlikely for the Red Dragon Mafia to attack the Syphiruz first. For the past few years, these two powerhouses were avoiding each other to maintain the balance.
But surprisingly, after five years of maintaining the peace between the two factions, Red Dragon made the first move! Was it a sign that the Red Dragon wanted to challenge the Syphiruz and take control of their territories?
"Speak," Nathan uttered in his authoritative voice.
"Supreme Leader… after investigating the incident, all the evidence was leading us to the Red Dragon Mafia. Witnesses mentioned that those attackers wore the emblem symbols of the Red Dragon." Axel was the one who reported the result of their one-day investigation.
Nathan leaned on the backrest of his chair, his right hand supporting his head. He fell silent for a moment, analyzing the situation.
He had visited the crime scene. The CCTV footage and the recordings of the vehicle black box were stolen and destroyed. There was no way they could see what happened there. They could only rely on the testimony of the survivors.
Though the evidence was pointing to the Red Dragon's involvement, Nathan felt like something was off with the attack. Was it really the Red Dragon's doing? Or someone powerful was setting them up?
"Supreme Leader, please give us permission to attack one of the Red Dragon's headquarters. An eye for an eye! A tooth for a tooth. We lost our comrades!" The emotional Branch Leader stepped forward, kneeling in front of Nathan as he expressed his wish.
His heart was filled with raging fury! He wanted to avenge the deaths of their fallen brothers. However, Nathan couldn't give that risky command.
"I can't do that. I'm not afraid of Red Dragon… but I don't want to fall for someone else's scheme." Nathan glanced at Axel, motioning him to hand over the written document of the investigation report. Axel gave the file to him right away.
"What do you mean, Supreme Leader?" The Branch Leader raised his head, eyeing him in confusion.
"What if someone was intentionally doing this for us to wage a war with the Red Dragon? I feel like someone is playing with us. This might be a set-up to stir a conflict between Syphiruz and Red Dragon. I am considering this possibility."
The Branch Leader finally understood what Nathan was thinking. He was right. There was a possibility that another enemy was trying to create a dispute between the two powerhouses of the underground world in Country M.
"So what are you planning to do now, Master?" Axel asked Nathan worriedly.
"Let's wait for the Red Dragon to contact us. If they were not the ones who did it, Dragon Lord would initiate to meet me and explain their sides." Nathan started to flip the documents, reading the files.
"Supreme Leader, I have a bad feeling about this. The Red Dragon has appointed a new Dragon Lord. The former leader whom you met before was no longer part of the Red Dragon Mafia. He was kicked out by the new Dragon Lord."
"There is a possibility that this new Dragon Lord wants to flaunt his power by targeting the Syphiruz! I heard the new guy was so arrogant and prideful." The Branch Leader shared some updates he had learned about the Red Dragon Mafia.
"He has been attacking small gangs in the City of Valor, recruiting them as his new subordinates!" The Branch Leader added, gnashing his teeth. He wanted to teach the Red Dragon a lesson, most especially the new leader. "I want revenge! Let's strike them now and let them know who is the real boss!"
"Spyder, calm down. Don't let your anger blind your good judgment. Play Smart," Nathan slightly reprimanded his Branch Leader.
"I-I'm sorry, Supreme Leader… I didn't mean to upset you," Spyder immediately apologized, bowing his head.
Nathan just waved his hand lazily, telling him to stand up. Spyder apologized once more before he stood up. He was just carried away by his negative emotions.
"Just focus on preparing the burial of your fallen brothers. Just leave this to me." Nathan ordered Spyder one last time.
"Yes, Supreme Leader. I understand."
After receiving another instruction from Nathan, Spyder bade goodbye to them. The two subordinates also followed their Branch Leader. Nathan and Axel were the only ones left inside his office.
"Have you booked our ticket back to Country M?" Nathan asked Axel, not looking at him. His attention was still fixed on the investigation report.
"I canceled it, Master."
Nathan stopped flipping the files when he heard that. With a deep crease on his forehead, he asked him, "Why did you cancel it?"
Axel smiled sheepishly, scratching his nose. "Chairman Xu called me this morning to inform me that Little Young Master Ethan requested him to send the private jet to fetch you here."
"Ethan did that?" Nathan felt a little bit confused. His son would never do that unless there was something urgent.
Axel nodded his head to confirm it.
"Did something bad happen?" Nathan asked again, putting down the documents on the top of his table. He stood up and grabbed his coat, getting ready to leave his office.
"I'm not sure, Master. But according to Little Ethan, you have to return home as soon as possible because his godfathers have some important favors to ask you."
The frown on Nathan's forehead deepened further at the mention of Aiden and Stephen.
'Favors to ask me? What have they done this time?'
