Chapter 712 Veronica's Demise

Day Seventy-Six…

~~*****~~

Axel lifted the unconscious Veronica and headed to the living area. He laid her on a chair and proceeded to bind her hands and feet, making sure she wouldn't run away once she suddenly woke up. 

When he finished, he called Tatsumi again to let him into the apartment. A few seconds later, Tatsumi joined him inside the house.

"Shall we go now?" Tatsumi excitedly asked Axel as he couldn't wait to leave Country R. He was still over the moon because of the good news shared with him by his father, Kazuki.

"Wait. "Let's not leave yet. Let's thoroughly search her apartment. We might find valuable information," Axel suggested to Tatsumi. "Remember? She made a poisonous weapon that they would use to hurt Abigail. We must find a formula for its antidote."

"Oh! Great idea! Let's do that!" Tatsumi followed Axel's suggestion.

As they roamed around the apartment, they discovered that Veronica was involved in a bio-weapon project. In one private room in her apartment, they found her mini laboratory filled with substances.

"Damn! This woman is very dangerous! She is making a bio-weapon!" Tatsumi blurted out exasperatedly, his eyes scanning the mini-laboratory.

"Don't touch anything!" Axel warned him. "We don't know which ones are dangerous and lethal. It's better to take her laptop and journal. Surely, the formulas for the bio-weapon and poisonous substances, along with antidotes, are in there." Axel was being cautious.

Tatsumi just nodded his head. He felt like he was being lectured and ordered by an elder brother. No wonder Axel served as Nathan's right-hand man and his personal assistant– very dependable. He was very efficient and careful when it came to his work. He had a presence of mind. He started to admire and commend Axel's personality.

"I'm going to delete the CCTV recordings for today. Veronica is precious to the organization she is working with. They will surely retaliate when they find out we stole her works and captured her." After saying that, Tatsumi proceeded to the CCTV Control Room.

While Axel was searching through her belongings, he verified that Veronica was indeed working for the King Stallion Mafia. "She is connected to that organization. Our men are trying to dig for information about this mafia group."

With that thought in mind, Axel decided to call Nathan, updating him about the progress of his mission. It did not take long before the call got connected.

"Sir! We captured Veronica. We will transport her back to Country M. But Tatsumi suggested something… a way to deal with her. Will you agree?" Axel consulted Nathan first.

"Tatsumi is Jane's comrade. Go and cooperate with him." Nathan gave his permission.

"Got it, Sir. And one more thing… I just confirmed that Veronica is working under the King Stallion Mafia. They are making bio-weapons. We plan on bringing her laptop and journals, hoping she keeps and stores the formula and data here."

"Nice initiative, Axel. Bring everything that you think will benefit us and something that can be valuable to us." Nathan commended him.

Axel noticed that Nathan was surprisingly in a good mood today. "Thanks, Sir. I know what to do."

Before Nathan ended the call, Axel asked him a very personal question out of the blue. "Sir, how is Miss Jane? Is everything alright with you and her?" Axel was still skeptical of Tatsumi's statement that Jane would become his future wife.

"Everything is fine. Why did you ask?" Nathan asked him back, his voice filled with curiosity and confusion. It was so unusual for Axel to ask him a personal question like this.

"Oh. It's nothing, Sir. It's just that… Tatsumi is having a fantasy, calling Miss Jane his future wife." Axel reported to Nathan.

"In his dream." Nathan retorted in an annoyed tone.

Axel offered a sheepish smile, absently scratching his face in regret. He realized his mistake in bringing it up. It appeared that Nathan's mood had shifted after Tatsumi mentioned Jane as his future wife, and Axel could sense a subtle change in the atmosphere.

"I'll go ahead, Sir!" Axel said, fleeing away from his moody boss.

When the call ended, Axel went back to work. Soon, Tatsumi joined him. After packing some stuff and putting it inside a backpack, the two men got ready to leave the apartment, bringing the unconscious Veronica with them. They discreetly transferred Veronica to their rented vehicle and they headed to the airport.

[ At Country M… ]

lightsnοvεl Five hours later…

Veronica woke up with handcuffs on her hands, feeling puzzled about her current location. The last thing she remembered was someone grabbing her from behind and covering her mouth and nose before she lost consciousness.

"Where am I?" she asked herself, still feeling a bit dizzy. Before long, the door to her room opened, and two police officers entered. Her surprise was evident when she recognized one of the police officers. It was Dave, Abigail's boyfriend. "Why are you here?" she asked, thinking she was still in Country R.

"Miss Veronica, you have been arrested for the charge of trafficking illegal drugs," Dave explained to her before reciting the Miranda rights.

Veronica's face turned pale, aghast and utterly disbelieving of the accusations thrust upon her. 

The gravity of being wrongfully accused sent shockwaves through her mind. Her thoughts raced as she retraced recent events, trying to make sense of how she found herself in this scenario. 

The realization dawned on her—someone had meticulously plotted to frame her, manipulating circumstances to point the finger of blame in her direction. 

"You are wrong! I'm innocent! Someone framed me. I was kidnapped from my apartment in Country R!" Her frustration surged, knowing that her innocence was being used against her. 

Veronica's mind raced with questions about who could orchestrate such a sinister plan and why she had become the target. She knew the gravity of her situation. She could lose her license as a doctor and at the same time, the harshest punishment for trafficking illegal drugs in Country M was death.

"You can charge her with an additional case. She's implicated in developing a dangerous bio-weapon, a clear violation of the law," Axel revealed abruptly as he appeared. He handed over some pieces of evidence to Dave.

'Damn it! So Nathan is responsible for my arrest!' She was seething with anger when she found out the person involved in her case.

"Axel! How could you do this to me?!" She had gone berserk, trying to break free from her handcuffs. She couldn't believe that Nathan would hand her over to the police.

Veronica turned to the police and started to reveal what she knew about the Syphiruz Mafia. "You should be arresting this guy, instead of me! He is a member of the Syphriuz Mafia. Nathan Sparks is their leader!"

Unfortunately, her revelation seemed futile as it failed to sway Dave's belief. He remained unconvinced. Axel had just presented evidence confirming Veronica's affiliation with the King Stallion Mafia.

As Veronica continued convincing the police officers, Axel stepped out of the room together with Dave.

"Don't let her get away. She planned on harming Abigail using a poisonous weapon she created." Axel gave Dave the recordings of the phone conversation between Veronica and Monica.

Dave became resolute in punishing Veronica using the law. "I understand, Axel. Thanks for your help. This time I will do my best to protect my woman."
