His Contractual Mistress

Chapter 494 The Emperor Had Died

ALLIANCE HQ, Italy

'No wonder Derek would be against me and choose Hailee's side,' thought Shun. 'I came up with something stupid, such as deciding to let Hailee sleep forever so that they could avoid the war in the future. However, from the look at how the future keeps changing. The kids learned what I did and planned out to assassinate me.'

Besides, it made him wonder what Derek's reaction was if he brought up this matter.

He could already picture Derek's enraged because of his crazy idea, mainly if it included the babies.

'We have no other choice but to keep the family alive.'

"Are you okay, Shun?"

Daichi noticed his boss was in a trance. He asked him for something, but Shun didn't respond to him.

"Pardon? Can you repeat your question, Daichi?"

"I'm reporting that… Miss Carmen was also in critical condition. She was in the kitchen when Samuel Miller's men attacked the lodge house. Those men were only after Vincent and did not check the entire house. Fortunately, Timothy Cheng was still in good condition to walk around, and he found Miss Carmen, and the air paramedics arrived before it was too late to save her life."

Shun clenched his fist. Hailee and Carmen have been friends since they were teenagers. As Dave Davies had an excellent business partnership with the Dawsons, Jacob often traveled with Hailee to play with Carmen in the T Country.

Similar to Hailee, Carmen is innocent of everything that is happening now. She was only caught in between by his fight against that man.

Now…

What would happen after Hailee learned about Carmen? Hailee would be definitely enraged that her friend got involved in the conflict and was severely injured.

Pitt is also on his deathbed.

Shun kneaded the bridge of his nose and let out a helpless sigh.

"Alright. Tell Matt to keep us updated. We need to find Vincent as soon as possible while patiently waiting for Liam to regain consciousness. He isn't waking up, so the shamans and Isabella will perform the Reversal Ritual, which is a great opportunity. Once Liam wakes up and gives us that man's information, I will shut down all of his businesses and freeze his access to his wealth."

"That is the best move we have." Daichi concurred. "Once he can no longer have his resources, he will be stuck in V Country and limit his operation."

"Interpol is just waiting in the corner. They only need his name and face to do their job. However…"

Daichi waited for Shun to continue. However, he only remained silent for a longer time. Shun must make a hard decision, and he could not share it with him.

They had been friends for a long time now. So he knew that there were things he should not meddle with and let Shun handle them within himself.

Such as fighting the demon inside.

So many things happened in the past and taught Shun what is right and wrong. In fact, he is a reluctant boss. He didn't want to accept the seat.

However, for the woman he loved all of his life, he endured everything and worked his ass more than anyone did.

"I haven't had time to travel in a while," Shun mumbled out of the blue, and it startled Daichi.

He wondered. "Don't you think it is because you are Carlisle now?"

Shun pondered for a moment. He agreed with Daichi. "Maybe it was the case. It's just that… It was he who received direct immortality like Isabella. So maybe that's why I couldn't use his ability as long as I wanted."

"If you could? We will have no difficulty identifying this man. Right?"

"Yes. Klein could sense him fast. It's been a while since he started sleeping. So that man is taking this opportunity to disturb our peaceful life." Shun muttered with a grim expression on his face. He has to admit that Klein is needed like this…

"Well, I have high hopes from you and everyone that things will be over soon. Then, you can spend more time with Missy and the kids," said Daichi, comforting Shun.

Daichi is right. He couldn't agree more. He had less time for his children, which he didn't want them to grow, and their memories of him could only count on their fingers.

So he decided. "Let's go home soon and join the kids watching the performances in the carnival Hailee hired for us all."

"Boss, Hailee doesn't deserve to suffer. Nothing she cares about but makes the surrounding people around her become happy," said Daichi.

Every time Daichi remembers Hailee in a coma and the four premature babies fighting to live, it definitely breaks his heart.

"It is absolutely heartbreaking for everyone. Would you allow the media to learn about it?"

Shun shook his head and replied to Daichi's query. "The Dawson family ensures that no news will leak out. We should do that as well. Contact Sandy and tell him to block any news regarding the incident. Shut down those websites if necessary."

"Copy. I will check further reports as well."

"Alright. Thank you."

Daichi smiled and saluted at Shun before he left to do his task and continue monitoring the search and rescue of Vincent.

Left alone, Shun dialed his wife's contact. He was standing near the window watching the forbidden woods where Isabella and the shamans performed the Reversal Ritual.

Gazing out at the dark clouds above the forbidden woods brought an eerie feeling to his chest.

Shun placed his hand on the window, staring at his eyes reflected in the glass and talking to himself.

"Klein… Do you want me to wake you up?"

He thought since the shaman was here.

"I need to do something," Shun speaks to himself.

The following day…

Samuel comfortably lounged on a French couch holding a crystal goblet, sipping wine. It was noon, and he was in a good mood until his phone rang and a particular name flashed on his phone screen.

"Yes, Master?"

"There isn't a broadcast that Vincent is dead. Why did you do nothing about it?"

Samuel's response. "Well, there is no confirmation that he is dead. And obviously, Shun Crow would not let the media report the incident. Also, it's easy for us to run around if no reporters are digging a story."

"Where is the fun in that? It would be an exciting drama if the world knew the Emperor had died. Right?"

"Alright. I'll prepare the article." After saying that, Samuel heard a tone showing his master had hung up.

'F*ck!' Samuel sneered in his heart.

However, he could only fret in silence. Because if it was him. He doesn't want the public to know so that he could work in silence before revealing great news to the world.

Unfortunately, he could not assert to his master that it was not a good idea. After he loses the case in C Nation, his master is displeased with him.

After one hour, Samuel worked on the article to publish, but it always disappeared, even the websites he bought.

"Sir, no matter how we try to publish an article, it is always gone."

"Sir, one of our websites was hacked!"

"I can no longer open our social media accounts!"

"They found our IP Address, and there were people outside! They are going to arrest us! Ah! Don't shoot! I surrender!"

Samuel gritted his teeth, listening to these recordings. He clenched his palm into a ball of fist and desired to punch someone's face at that moment but on the sofa.

"Sh*t!"

He knew already that this would happen, but it still annoys him. There is no way Shun Crow would sit around.

Anyway, his anger is not because he failed but because he is frustrated and has to follow his master's capriciousness. That man actually has no care for the result. It only interests him to see the fun playing before his eyes.

"Even so, I have to do something." He must please his master.

Samuel emailed the article to random reporters across the globe.
