Lisa looked at his baby girl's sleeping face. His heart clenched at the sight of the bandages on her jaw, neck and shoulder. He had also seen the scratches and bruises all over her body during her hospital check-up earlier. How he wished he could take away all of her pain and suffer them in her stead.
'I almost lost her.'
The thought almost paralyzed him with fear. If she didn't throw the box, she would have been....
He gritted his teeth, forcefully destroying the frightening image in his mind. If he ever lost her in such a tragic manner, he would make sure to punish all the motherfuckers who took her away from him. After avenging her, he would follow her without any second thoughts. Now that he was experiencing the joys of finding one's mate, life would be meaningless without her.
Hatred and desire for revenge were starting to take root inside of him. He wanted to beat the life out of that bastard. What was the motherfucker's name? Tian Kong. How dare he try to murder his baby girl? Anyone who dared to harm Lisa Manoban's woman, future wife, and the mother of his children deserved the worst punishment in the world!
"Meow..." Leo nudged his daddy's arm with his head. The striped ginger cat could sense his daddy's murderous intent, scaring him a little.
Lily squeezed herself closer to her sleeping mommy while staring at her daddy with caution.
Lisa took a few deep breaths to control his raging emotions. He gave his sleeping baby girl another light kiss on the lips before standing up. Then he petted the two cats.
"Lily, Leo, take care of your mom."
The two cats mewled their promise, purring and transferring their body heat to their mommy.
Lisa and Jiyong quietly left the bedroom suite and met with their subordinates. They listened to the latest reports and gave out new commands. This was when Lisa heard about the online hate campaign against Jennie which blamed her and tossed the responsibility on her head for all the people injured during the bomb incident. He instantly became furious.
"How dare they?! If it wasn't for Ruby Jane, many people would have died! She saved them! And now they're blaming her?! Idiots!"
Jiyong was already aware of the hate campaign. His hacker team had been monitoring it as soon as they detected it.
Lisa was unaware because it was usually either Bam or Louis who monitored anything related to his baby girl online. However, both had missed it today. Bam drove Lisa to the mall and then returned to Manoban Corporation afterwards. As for Louis, Jennie had disabled him because of the ruckus he made earlier to the police and government systems.
"Don't worry about it, Third Brother. I already instructed my subordinates to take care of it, Jiyong told Lisa
One of his subordinates stepped forward and reported, "Boss, the hate campaign has just been taken care of by our team."
"A little later than I expected but good," Jiyong replied, nodding.
Lisa still looked furious but began to calm down after hearing that his Fifth Brother had already taken care of the hate campaign. He hadn't seen the actual comments in the hate campaign but if his Fifth Brother stepped forward to take care of it, then it must have been serious. Just imagining all those vile motherfuckers blaming his baby girl for the bomb incident made him gnash his teeth and want to beat them all up with his own fists.
"Thanks," he said.
Jiyong nodded. Then he turned to his subordinate. "Have we found out who's behind the hate campaign?"
"Not yet, Boss."
"What do you mean by not yet?"
Both Jiyong and Lisa frowned while waiting for the subordinate's answer.
"Boss, we suspect that the people behind the hate campaign against Miss Ruby are not simple anti-fans by how quickly the comments spread online right after the bomb incident. It was too deliberate and unnatural. The fact that we're still unable to uncover any identities despite our whole hacker team working on it makes us believe that there's an even more skilled hacker behind the hate campaign."
Jiyong and Lisa's frowns deepened.
"Even more skilled than Drakon?" Jiyong had full trust in his sister's hacking skills but he still asked this question just for the heck of it.
"Of course not, boss. What I meant was more skilled than our team but nowhere near the great Drakon."
Jiyong nodded. Pride flashed in his eyes but it was gone as quickly as it appeared. His face reverted to an impassive expression.
Lisa also felt proud but he hid the emotion behind his usual coldness. He kept quiet, choosing instead to listen to his Fifth Brother speak to his subordinates. Although they hadn't talked about it, he suspected that his Fifth Brother already knew Jennie's real identity as Drakon. He wouldn't be surprised if that was the case given the close sibling relationship between his baby girl and his Fifth Brother.
However, he wasn't sure if his Fifth Brother's subordinates were aware of it. He wished that they didn't know because he couldn't fully trust them with the truth. Even Lisa's own men didn't know that their mistress was the great hacker Drakon. Although he believed in the loyalty of his men, he still didn't want to risk exposing the truth to them, especially if there was a chance that it would endanger his baby girl's safety.
"Boss, if I may make a suggestion...."
"Go ahead."
"Exposing the identities of the people behind the hate campaign should be a piece of cake to Drakon. If we ask..."
"NO!!!"
Both Lisa and Jiyong outright rejected the subordinate's idea even before they heard it. They looked at each other before glaring at the subordinate.
"There is no need to bother Drakon at this time. Let our hacker team deal with the hate campaign for now," Jiyong said.
"Understood, Boss."
