100 Days to Seduce the Devil

Little Ethan just gave Abigail and his father a teasing smile as he watched the two while hugging each other. He didn\'t expect that the two would be carried away by the games.

"It looks like you both enjoyed this game and you have great teamwork!" Ethan praised them.

Little Ethan\'s voice was like a wake-up call between Nathan and Abigail so they got separated right away. They felt a little bit embarrassed letting Ethan see them in that kind of position.

In fact, both of them were also surprised that they would compliment each other during the game as if they had done this for a  long time. Their movements were so smooth and precise. It was well-calculated.

"You brought out the best in you!" Ethan added, clapping his hands for Abigail and Nathan.

Nathan chose to stay quiet while Abigail just smiled awkwardly before ruffling Ethan\'s hair.

"Dad, by the way, what are you doing here? We didn\'t sense your presence. If you didn\'t tap my shoulder, I wouldn\'t know that you were here," Little Ethan questioned his Dad. He put his hands on both sides of his waist.

Nathan felt glad that Ethan brought this topic up. "I\'m here to talk to Abigail. We have an appointment today. We are going to meet someone."

Nathan glanced at Abigail meaningfully. Abigail immediately caught his message. This had something to do with Jun Shen.

\'I wonder if he is planning to bring me to Syphiruz Headquarters,\' Abigail thought to herself.

Abigail turned to Little Ethan and thanked him. "Ethan, thanks for today. I enjoyed our bonding. Let\'s play again next time. But for now, your Dad and I have to go somewhere."

Ethan just bobbed his head. He was also grateful for Abigail\'s presence. At least, he wouldn\'t feel bored now, unlike before. Aside from Powy and Riemc, he gained a new playmate– Abigail.

Ethan hugged and kissed both Abigail and Nathan before the two left his playroom. Abigail was following Nathan behind. Four bodyguards were waiting for them outside.

"I didn\'t know that you knew how to play that video game. Are you a gamer?" Nathan suddenly asked Abigail out of the blue.

After doing a background check on Abigail, no information about Abigail\'s playing video games as part of her hobbies. But surprisingly, Abigail showed her skills in playing video games, particularly the game Mission XXX.

If not for the fact she was playing in front of him, he would have thought that Monica was the one playing with him a while ago. Their character\'s build up and weapons were similar including their fighting style.

Nathan didn\'t know if he was just imagining things or if his eyes were just deceiving him, making him think that Monica was there, playing with him. For some unknown reason, he felt the same vibe he had when he was competing and doing missions with Monica.

Abigail just shrugged her shoulders and nonchalantly said, "No. I am just naturally good at anything."

Nathan raised his brow upon hearing her confident answer. \'She sounded like her. Very arrogant at our first encounter.\' Nathan couldn\'t help but keep thinking about the past.

"Why? Do you want me to become your playing buddy?" Abigail sped up and blocked Nathan\'s path as she faced him with a playful grin. She just wanted to tease him because Nathan suddenly became serious.

Meanwhile, Nathan glanced at her with an unreadable expression. After much consideration, he gave her his answer. "Defeat me first… then I will decide whether I want you to become my player buddy or not."

After saying that, Nathan walked ahead, stepping to the car first. Abigail was dumbfounded for a moment, just watching Nathan\'s back as he entered the car.

She was surprised that Nathan accepted her offer. Well, he didn\'t accept it directly, but he gave her a challenge, giving her a chance to become his player buddy.

Abigail would like to do it again since it brought back happy memories that she had with her mysterious friend whom she never met.

"Sure! I will definitely defeat you!" Abigail yelled as she ran towards the guard. She also wanted to grab this opportunity to get closer to Nathan.

Who would have thought that both of them liked to play this game? She just discovered that they both had the same interest despite their differences.

When the two left the mansion, Abigail started asking Nathan about the place where they were going to meet Jun Shen. But Nathan remained tight-lipped about the location so Abigail changed the topic.

"Did you see Jun Shen? Did he finally talk and admit his evil deed?" Abigail asked Nathan expectantly.

A crease appeared on Nathan\'s forehead as he recalled Chantha\'s and Violet\'s report. The Soeung Twins did the initial interrogation with Jun Shen. And according to them, someone transferred the money to his account. He could keep the fifty percent but he had to send the other fifty percent to another bank account. That account was the hired man who attacked Abigail in Country F.

"You will know once you meet him." Nathan plainly said.

After fifteen minutes, Nathan and Abigail reached their destination. She was awestruck to see that they stopped at the front of a police headquarters. She thought  Nathan brought Jun Shen to Syphiruz Headquarters.

\'So he let the police deal with Jun Shen? He didn\'t mobilize his men?\' Abigail mused to herself as she stepped out of the car. Her eyes roamed around the surroundings.

Little did she know, Nathan just handed Jun Shen over to the police just today. His subordinates were done interrogating him. Nathan wanted Abigail to believe that the police investigated the case.

Fortunately, Nathan\'s subordinates already blackmailed Jun Shen. He would only say things related to Abigail\'s case.

One police officer approached Nathan. It was the Police Chief. Nathan\'s family had strong connections with the police department. They would certainly entertain Nathan. He guided them to the interrogation room where Jun Shen was waiting for them.

Nathan didn\'t allow Abigail to enter the same room where Jun Shen was being interrogated. They stayed in the other room, watching him through the mirror and monitors.

Abigail frowned when she saw Mr. Shen\'s untidy clothes. He looked so different from his previous CEO image where he was always wearing a suit. He looked like an ordinary old man.

"What happened to him?" Abigail asked Nathan and the Police Chief.

"After kicking him out of the company, Mr. Jun Shen became a gambling addict trying to earn more money. He drowned in debt. He wanted to build his own company and showed his wife that he could succeed. But he ended up in the worst situation. He couldn\'t pay off the debt." The Police Chief explained to Abigail.

\'My assumption is right. I don\'t think this man still has the power to hire someone just to kill me… I mean the real Abigail.\'

"I see… so although he hated me so much, he didn\'t have the money to hire someone just to kill me, right?" Abigail emphasized those words to Nathan.

Nathan just bobbed his head. He already noticed some suspicious movement. It seemed that there was another person behind Abigail\'s assassination and the attack in  Country F.

\'Sigh. So I need to cross his name out of my list. He is not the mastermind.\' Abigail already had this conclusion in mind.

"I think someone tried to use Jun Shen to divert our attention away from the real mastermind. Everyone knows about the conflict between the two of you." Nathan made another comment.

\'Ahuh?! I\'m glad you finally figured it out, Nate! I think… you must investigate your own people… like Veronica,\' Abigail sneered at him. She didn\'t dare to voice it out since she didn\'t have concrete proof.

"If that was the case, then why did you still bring me here? You already knew that Jun Shen was not the real mastermind!" Abigail questioned Nathan as she pouted her lips. He could have told her in the house. Why did he have to bring her to this place?

The Police Chief just chuckled then he excused himself. He didn\'t want to interrupt the two people. He thought Abigail and Nathan were in a relationship because Nathan personally requested the Police Chief to keep Abigail\'s presence here a secret. The Police Chief recognized Abigail as the actress who committed suicide two weeks ago.

When they were left alone, Nathan finally answered Abigail\'s question.

"Because I want you to see personally that Jun Shen will no longer be a threat to your life. I will make sure that he won\'t bother you anymore so you don\'t have to be scared of him. Jun Shen will be stuck here in prison for several years."

Nathan\'s words made Abigail speechless. Though his tone was so plain when he delivered his words, Abigail\'s heart skipped a beat, feeling so touched.

\'Nathan… really did this… just for me?\' Abigail glanced at Nathan with her unblinking eyes. \'Damn… is this really the devil I knew?\'
