Chapter 847: The Last Mission: Escape
Day Eighty-Nine…
Both Jane and Nathan continued challenging each other. Axel became Jane's hostage while Black Rose became Nathan's hostage. With their current situation, Jane was at a disadvantage so she had no choice but to bring up Stephen's name.
She just hoped that Nathan would give her another chance to prove herself.
'Damn, Nate. Don't be stubborn. I don't want to hurt Axel and your comrades. But I can't die here as well. As of now, you are thinking I am a liar. I have to do all means to make you listen to me.'
"I'll release Axel. Just bring Stephen here," Jane requested in her calm voice. "Tell him I wanna see him. It's Jane Frost. That's my real name." She revealed her name to Nathan.
Nathan narrowed his eyes as her name rang a bell. 'Where did I hear that name?' He pondered to himself. After a while, he recalled Ethan murmuring someone else's name. It was Jane.
'Is this just a coincidence?'
Nathan was still lost in his thoughts when Jane spoke again. "Nate! Make your decision now." She urged him, her eyes locked on his.
"You don't have the right to make some demands here." Nathan spat back at her.
Jane sighed deeply. 'He is very stubborn. He won't listen to me.'
"If you ignore me now, you will regret it," Jane said meaningfully. Her patience was growing thin.
Before Nathan could say another word, Violet suddenly showed up, looking worried.
"Supreme Leader. There is an emergency in the SYP Twilight Corp, concerning young master Ethan!" Violet informed them urgently. "Butler Li is on the phone!"
Both Jane and Nathan had a worried look on their faces when Ethan's name was mentioned.
"What happened?!" They asked Violet at the same time.
Nathan shot Jane a cold sharp glare. 'She should mind her own business. Ethan has nothing to do with her.'
"Give me the phone," Nathan extended his hand after returning his gun to its holster.
"Watch over them!" he added before leaving the prison cell.
Violet was surprised to see Axel being a hostage.
"What's going on here?" She asked her twin sister, Chantha.
Meanwhile, Jane raised her hand. "Let's make a truce here. I won't hurt Axel, just comply with my request."
After saying that, Jane whispered to Axel so that he was the only one who could hear her.
"I'll release you but in exchange, I want you to contact Dr. Stephen and relay my message."
Axel was about to reject her offer when Jane continued, "I meant no harm. But if you refuse me then I'll reveal to Chantha that you like her. That you have feelings for her."
Jane used her knowledge of her previous life to negotiate with Axel. She knew that Axel was hiding his feelings for Chantha right now.
"How did you know that?" Axel was shocked beyond belief. He never told anyone about his feelings for Chantha. He always argued with Chantha in front of their comrades just to conceal his real feelings for her.
"Hmm. I have the power to see the future. You and Chantha will end up being a couple," Jane murmured teasingly.
Axel: "..."
'She is kidding, right? There is no way Chantha will like me. She has a big crush on our Supreme Leader. She won't look at me the way she looks at him.'
"You are good at lying, Phantomflake. I am no match against my Supreme Leader. She will never see me as a man." Axel was triggered by Jane's words. He hated it because Jane was giving him false hope.
Jane just let out a soft giggle. "Let's make a bet then."
This time Jane finally released Axel from her grip. Then she returned the gun to him.
"Let's make a truce here. I'm not going to fight you." Jane declared, surprising Joker and the twin sisters.
Chantha immediately let go of Black Rose. Stepping forward, she grabbed Axel away from Jane to secure him.
"You stupid fool! How can you let yourself become a hostage?! Are you so weak?!" Chantha punched Axel in his shoulder, reprimanding him. But worry was evident in her eyes.
Axel blinked in amusement when he noticed Chantha's expression. He didn't expect her to be worried for him. Reflexively, he gazed back at Jane who was already smiling at him meaningfully.
"See. I told you," Jane murmured.
"So what are we going to do now?" Violet asked them.
"I'll bring Phantomflake to the Torture Room. This is our Supreme Leader's command."
"No! You can't touch her. You have to kill me first!" Black Rose shielded Jane using her body.
But Jane tapped her shoulder. "Don't worry, Black Rose. Everything will be fine." She reassured her.
"Sis. Don't do this. We need to fight back." Black Rose refused to surrender easily. But Jane already had a plan.
"It's okay. They can't kill me. Trust me."
Though she was reluctant, Black Rose had no choice but to respect Jane's decision. She stepped to the side as Axel approached them to handcuff Jane.
Jane obediently followed Axel. She wondered if she had managed to convince him to call Stephen.
They were on their way to the torture room when Axel spoke up.
"No matter what you say, I won't betray our Supreme Leader. You can tell Chantha everything. But she will never believe you. Besides, it doesn't make sense at all."
But Jane just chuckled.
"Yeah. I know you are loyal to Nathan, that's why I am grateful to you. But Axel, I'm sorry. I have to do this."
Before Axel could react, Jane struck him at his neck, knocking him down instantly. She decided to flee to see Ethan. She was her priority right now.
When she heard that there was an emergency concerning her son, she could no longer waste her time there.
Jane had already stolen the keys from Axel even before he restrained her hands earlier. Without a second thought, Jane moved to sneak out of the headquarters.
She also snatched Axel's phone before running away. She knocked down everyone on the way. Her goal was to leave the place as soon as possible.
'Wait for me, Ethan. Mommy is coming to see you.'
A few minutes later, an alarm echoed in the headquarters. Everyone found out that Phantomflake had escaped!
