100 Days to Seduce the Devil

Day Twenty Four…

~~*****~~

[ At 1:00 am ]

Cherry woke up when her laptop resounded. It was an alarm signal when someone was trying to get in touch with her account Black Rose.

"Who is this damn hacker?" Cherry lazily dragged herself up from the bed. She was still sleepy. She rubbed her eyes and yawned.

She switched on her lampshade and reached for her laptop. She tried to adjust her vision before checking who was the person bothering her at this hour.

"I swear. I'm gonna send a virus to whoever disrupts my sleep." Cherry lamented to herself, feeling annoyed.

However, Cherry's sleepiness dissipated into thin air as soon as she read the message coming from Spade.

[ Spade: Confirmed! Phantomflake is alive! See this picture. ]

Spade attached a photo which was taken from the CCTV footage in the hospital where Phantomflake was admitted in Country F. He made sure to include the proof so that Cherry would not question his credibility.

Cherry's eyes were fixated on the monitor screen for several seconds, just watching Phantomflake's photo. She was lying in a hospital bed with her eyes closed.

Phantomflake had become thinner than before but she could still recognize her.

"S-Sis… is this really you?"

Cherry used her computer skills to analyze whether the photo was edited or not. After a few minutes, she verified that the photo was authentic. No editing or tampering happened.

Cherry felt exhilarated because of this. She was no longer annoyed by the person who disturbed her peaceful sleep. Instead, she was grateful for him… for this piece of good news!

[ Black Rose: Where did you find her? Where is she? How is she doing? Can I see her in person? Tell me where to find her. ]

Cherry bombarded Spade with a lot of questions. Meanwhile, Spade smiled triumphantly as soon as he received Black Rose's response.

[ Spade: See. I told you. You could count on us! We were able to find her. ]

Spade was now confidently boasting to Cherry, also known as Black Rose.

[ Black Rose: Tell me where she is! ]

Cherry could no longer wait to see Phantomflake. She found her new hope.

[ Spade: Take it easy, Black Rose. Phantomflake is still in the hands of the enemy so we need your help. Our team is already on the move to rescue her and get her out of that cell. To do that… we need your skills. ]

Cherry didn't hesitate. She promptly responded to his request.

[ Black Rose: Tell me what I should do to help your team! ]

[ Spade: Help me attack the security system of the Syphiruz in that medical facility. We don't want to alarm the enemies of their presence. They are going to sneak into the facility. ]

Spade informed Black Rose of the game plan. Cherry was willing to cooperate as long as she could save Phantomflake.

[ Spade: One last question before we proceed to this rescue mission. Are you going to pledge allegiance to our organization? ]

Spade needed reassurance from Black Rose. He was afraid that Black Rose would change her mind.

[ Black Rose: Yes… but make sure to rescue her successfully… unharmed! ]

[ Spade: Just leave this to us. Now, let's do this. ]

A tap-tap of the keyboard could be heard inside Cherry's room. She and Spade were working together to disable the security system in the Medical Facility of the Syphiruz. Once they succeeded, Spade would give Jack's team a go signal to take Phantomflake's body out of the facility.

Jack's team was already on standby, waiting for the right opportunity to sneak into the facility. After thirty minutes of hacking, Spade and Black Rose managed to disable the security system of the facility, including the CCTV cameras.

[ Black Rose: Done! Now, they have one hour to do the mission. They should get out of the facility in an hour. ]

Spade relayed this information to Jack's team, hence their operation started!

Cherry was praying that this mission would succeed. She thought Phantomflake would be safer if she was not in the hands of the Syphiruz Mafia.

At least, the Red Dragon Mafia didn't harm the Assassin Guild. She could rely on them in this matter. She wanted to put her hope in them.

As Cherry waited, someone who descended from the second floor noticed that there was a light in Cherry's room.

Abigail woke up and got thirsty. She decided to get a glass of water in the kitchen.

"Cherry is still awake. I wonder what she is doing right now. Can't she sleep?" Abigail got worried about her.

As much as she wanted to spend more time with Cherry, she had lots of things to do. She was also avoiding her in front of others so that people in the mansion would not give Cherry a hard time.

If they found out that she was close with Cherry, the people who hated her would also target Cherry in that mansion. She wanted to prevent that so she was doing her best to distance herself from her even though she was dying to tell her that she was Phantomflake.

Unable to restrain her desire to talk with Cherry, Abigail traced her steps towards her room. She was about to knock when she heard Cherry talking to herself.

"Sis… I hope you are doing well. I can't wait to see you. I will destroy Syphiruz… for you… for our fallen sisters…"

Abigail's hand stopped midway, her eyebrow knitting in a frown. She had a feeling that Cherry was referring to her when she mentioned the word "Sis".

Cherry still had no idea that Phantomflake was in a coma. Spade didn't inform her about Phantomflake's condition. So Cherry would feel sad once she found out about Phantomflake's health condition.

'No. I have to stop her from getting involved. If Nathan finds out that Cherry is connected to my guild, he might kill her. Fuck that bitch, Monica! She is the root of everything!' Abigail was cursing Monica in her mind. She was reminded again of the possibility that Monica might have cheated on Nathan.

Knock! Knock!

Abigail decided to check on Cherry. She wouldn't allow her to do something reckless that might give out her true identity to Nathan.

Cherry, who was waiting for an update from Spade, was surprised when she heard the knock outside her door. She just turned her laptop to the opposite side so that the person wouldn't see her monitor screen.

She slowly approached the door and opened it. "Miss Abi? What are you doing here? Why are you awake?"

Abigail's eyes discreetly glanced at Cherry's laptop. She could tell that she was working on something. Cherry's expression was enough to figure it out.

'Hmm. So she is still using her Black Rose account… at this hour.'

"I can't sleep… may I come in?" Abigail politely asked her.

Cherry smiled faintly before nodding her head. Since it was Abigail, she felt relieved. For some unknown reason, she felt like she could trust this person.

'Hmm. Abigail is an actress and doesn't have a background in computer programming or hacking so I am safe even if she sees my monitor. She will not understand it.' Cherry thought to herself, that's why she welcomed Abigail inside her room.

Little did she know, the woman in front of her was her master… the one who taught her so many tricks about hacking! In just one glance, Abigail would be able to understand what she was doing with her laptop.

Abigail needed to confirm her suspicion so she took a peek at Cherry's laptop.

"Are you playing a video game at this hour? Let me see." Without waiting for Cherry's response, Abigail grabbed her laptop.

Abigail saw different command prompts windows. Letters and numbers kept on popping on Cherry's screen.

'Ahuh! So she is currently hacking someone's security system…'

Cherry became conscious as she watched Abigail looking at her computer screen intently.

"Oh… don't mind that. My laptop is updating… I mean… I got a computer virus and I'm trying to fix  it." Cherry said as an alibi.

Abigail didn't comment on that but she already knew the truth. She was about to click the chat box when Cherry snatched the laptop from her hand. With that, Abigail failed to see the conversation between Cherry and Spade.

Jack's team was in the middle of their rescue operation when GingerAllieAne 'The Hologram' sensed something was off.

"Powy, Riemc!" GAA immediately called the two robots.

"Ginger, is there something wrong?" Powy was the first one who responded.

Riemc walked towards GingerAllieAne together with Powy.

"The security system in Station 13 was disabled!" GGA informed them. "I am trying to find out what's wrong. For now, inform Master Ethan."

Riemc and Powy immediately proceeded to Ethan's room to relay GAA's message.

*****

In Syphiruz's Medical Facility…

Jack and his two subordinates disguised themselves as doctors and nurses. They succeeded in sneaking inside without getting caught by the guards. They had nothing to worry about since the CCTV cameras had been disabled.

With the help of Spade and Black Rose, they took control of the CCTV cameras and were able to find Phantomflake's location. The people in the facility didn't notice the presence of those outsiders.

They were able to blend in. They had access cards and Staff IDs that they could use to pass through the different VIP wards.

Thirty minutes later, a group of three was already pushing a stretcher with a woman lying on it. They used the emergency exit and cautiously left the vicinity. Everything went smoothly because of their preparations. At exactly 1:55 am, a black van left the facility.
