Episode 18

“The incident that took place at Pagoda’s headquarters this morning, made an extreme impact on the contry. The government doesn’t have any comments about the situation and say that everything will be under control. The woman who has claimed herself as the Black Wolf has taken over the organization after killing few of its members, including the famous racer Shadow. The incredible move known by all the racing drivers in the world but accomplished by none has been demonstrated today live from the ...” said the reporter on the news.

“This woman drives the XGT like it’s a toy.” said Oga in shock.

“Her moves are flawless, even Chen couldn’t do that.” thought Phoenix shaking.

“... the mysterious woman with her face covered by a mask, considered not only beautiful but also extremely dangerous climbed to the top of the country influencers immediately after showing up. We have found out from our source, that Jin Xu haven’t showed at home ever since the incident. We are waiting for the results of further investigation.” ends the reporter.

“Wow! That woman is really something .” said one of the people who were waiting in the hospital.

“Even without showing her face she looks hot. Isn’t that Shadow the one suspected for murdering the previous boss?” added another man.

“Mm, I heard that too. That Jin Xu jerk stole the company from Chen Xu after he died and Shadow was his right hand” said the man.

“Shhh don’t say his name! Someone might kill us” said the other guy covering his mouth with the hand.

“Hmm, Black Wolf you managed to get my attention” said Phoenix with a smirk.

*RING RING* Phoenix’s phone was ringing again.

“What do you want now? I will stay away from her, I got it!” he said once he answered the call.

“What are you talking about bro? You got yourself in a love triangle?” said the guy on the phone.

“Oh , Tao it’s you. I thought it’s my father.” said Phoenix rubbing his forehead.

“Humph, getting a girl and not letting your bros know. There is a party tonight at Sahara Hotel, let’s go! I called Kai also, after all it’s his hotel. I don’t understand your cousin, he never goes out.” said Tao.

“Don’t say his name like that ever again! Are you insane? Someone might hear. If he hears that he’ll kill you.” said Phoenix.

“Yeah, yeah you and him both with your codes. What the hell, didn’t his mother named him Kai? And aren’t we calling each other by names, Rai?” said Tao pissed.

“You really have to do something with your attitude. K will really kill you and who gave you permission to call me on my name? Now that I think about it we might both kill you!” said Rai pissed.

“Oh, I’m so scared. Come on bro, talk to K, tonight 8pm. I’ll see you there *TUT*” said Tao ending the call.

“This guy never gives me a break. I might as well call Kai when I’m done here” thought Rai.

“Yo, Phoenix, Yun woke up” said Oga.

“Mm, I’m coming” replied Rai.

Back to the Xu mansion, Eclair came to the dinning hall and sat at the table. The moment she ate the food , the familiar taste and flavour reminded her of the days when she had dinner with her family.

“What is this? Do you call this food?” asked Eclair angry.

“What do you mean Miss? It tastes like..” the butler wanted to say something but Eclair stopped him with a hand gesture.

“M-miss Wolf, I can do it again, what’s the matter? I’ve been cooking like this for years, I never got complains from the Xu..!” said the chef unable to finish his sentence realizing what he was about to say.

“How long are you going to keep with the act? I know it’s you chef Lie.” said Eclair with a cold stare.

“Eh? How long have you known?” asked the chef removing his wig and the fake belly he was wearing under his apron.

“Well pretty much since I saw you. You know I have a good visual and echoic memory. I easily remember their features in detail and their voice *GULP*.” she said finishing from her plate.

“Miss, you ate everything? You said it’s not good.” said the butler.

“That was the plan I told you about, I wanted him to show his true face” said Eclaie laying on the chair with a full stomach.

“Young miss, I’m really sorry, I had no choice but to work here. After Jin tortured me and the other employees I had nowhere to go. I’ve been working for the Xu family for 15 years, what else could I do? I had to get a disguise and I came back.” said the chef.

“I know, I can understand, actually I had no intention of making you leave, on the contrary I want you to call all the old stuff members back and tell them the real madam of the house is back.” she said to him with a normal expression.
