Late

"Boss, the President requested an additional A team for tomorrow's event," Taurus said.

Jacob smirked and said, "Haven't he got enough? How many A Teams does he already have? Two, right? Plus, one B Team from Capricorn. Are they not confident with their own army?"

Everyone looked at each other. The government has been very demanding. And Jacob was vexed because he knows that the President wants Arthur's team back to his side.

"Boss, there is going to be an international summit tomorrow that will be held here in Lotus City, which will be attended by international leaders. The President wants Capricorn's A-Team to be there, just for a day." this time it was Gemini.

Although it irks him, Jacob cannot decline the government because they are one of their major clients.

"Give them another A-Team. I cannot pull out Arthur's Team." Jacob replied.

Everyone looked uncomfortable. Is the Boss' VVIP more important than the President of the country?

Of course, the Boss' wife is more important than the President. Capricorn thought to himself.

"Give him another A-Team," Jacob ordered in a cold tone.

"But boss, we only have three A Teams left here in the country. Two of them were assigned to the President while the other one is with the VVIP. The rest were deployed in an international assignment. We don't have enough time to pull them out there for a one-day job." Sagittarius said anxiously

He was right, Jacob thought, but he doesn't want to give up Arthur's Team. They are the best that could protect his wife. Until Capricorn made a suggestion.

"Boss, since we don't have any evident threat yet to the VVIP, we can pull out my A-Team and replace them with two or three B Team for a day only. What do you think?"

Jacob ran out of options, so after a couple of minutes of analyzing he accepted Capricorn's suggestion. He pulled out Arthur's Team and replaced them with three B Teams. Although other leaders still think that the three B Team is too much for a VVIP who doesn't have any threat yet, they still agree knowing their Boss' temper.

But Jacob only pulled out three of them leaving Felix since he still has a special task to finish.

However, the situation is not as simple as they seem. Because at this moment, the Sano Twins have already found out the identity of the heiress and are now planning on how to get their hands on her.

On his way home, Jacob received a text message from Arthur. "She had a meeting with Dominic Sloane in a private restaurant but didn't last for long. She's on her way home now."

Jacob's brows furrowed. Why would she meet up with his brother-in-law in secret? The first time they met they didn't even bother to talk to each other.

The next morning J started the day as usual. But outside the apartment, around twelve security details were watching over her from a distance. Jacob went to work earlier than usual without having breakfast due to an emergency.

Inside Jacob's office at CLP Hospital, he is having an emergency video conference with the leaders of the Twelve Army.

"How's the situation at Crocus?" Jacob asked in a dignified tone while facing his laptop.

"It's not getting any better Boss. These pirates were quite troublesome. We are still negotiating." Aquarius replied in a frustrated tone.

The Crocus Offshore Oil Rig located near the Crocus Peninsula, south of Naupaka County is one of the major contracts of Twelve Army. The whole place and its surrounding area are guarded by mercenaries from Twelve Army.

Aquarius, being the head of the Maritime Special Units of Twelve Army received reports that the oil rig is being threatened by pirates so he has to fly over there at dawn to resolve the turmoil as early as possible.

Jacob's expression turned grim. "Continue negotiating. Don't give in to their request. Send additional backups in case the situation gets worse." He gave them short instructions.

Everyone nodded.

"But Boss, sending additional backup means I have to pull out the guards of the VVIP," Aquarius said hesitantly.

Jacob's brows snapped together. "Which VVIP?"

"Your VVIP sir. We don't have any spare men left. And those men guarding your VVIP were Maritime Special Units. It is best if we send them over." Aquarius replied.

Jacob is starting to have a headache. This dream of his grandfather of international expansion is leaving them with nothing men left. It is a good thing that international companies and royals are eager to hire their services but unfortunately, they are running out of resources.

Although they have already established offices and training facilities in two other countries, they cannot produce skilled mercenaries in an instant.

"Cancer, how's the new batch of trainees?" Jacob asked, pinching the space between his eyebrows. Cancer is the head of the Twelve Army Training Facility.

"I still need two more weeks before I can release them on an assignment." Cancer replied.

"We should start recruiting skilled and professional mercenaries," Jacob muttered to himself but enough for everyone to hear and understand. They all nodded in agreement.

"Okay, Aquarius, pull your men out." Jacob reluctantly said. Come to think of it, J is a low-profile nurse and they haven't announced their marriage yet so she should be alright as of the moment.

At least that's what he thought.

Because at that moment. The Sano Twins have already planned out how to abduct the heiress.

After their meeting, Jacob instructed Capricorn to tell Arthur and the rest to report back immediately tomorrow which Capricorn obliged.

Then he made a call to J asking her about her plans this afternoon. And if there is any, he would accompany her. Fortunately, she planned to stay at home.

It is almost dark outside yet Jacob and James were still inside Jacob's office. Due to the chaos that is happening in Crocus, they have been in continuous contact with Aquarius and another leader involved.

Then they heard a hurried footstep from outside the office, Jacob and James alerted themselves until the door burst open to reveal Felix with a worried look catching his breath.

He walked towards Jacob.

"What the hell is going on?" Jacob already assumed that Felix had done his extra mission and he was eager to hear it

"She's the heiress of The Robin Hood Society! And all this time the Society is hiding her identity and blocking any attempt to reveal her identity to protect her from the elites! But unfortunately, just recently the Sano Twins have found out about her, and they are probably on their move to get their hands on her!" Felix exclaimed in between breathing.

After hearing that Jacob hurriedly walked out of the office followed by Felix and James. In that instant worry dawned on him. J, his wife was left at home alone without anyone watching over her. And the danger is just around the corner. What a coincidence that the International Summit, Crocus' turmoil, and him finding out J's identity would fall out on the same day.

On his way home he repeatedly mumbled to himself "Please be home".

But earlier that day, when J arrived at their apartment with nothing to do, she played with Beauty and Beast. Then she decided to bathe them. She bathes Beauty first. It took her almost an hour bathing and drying Beauty.

Then after she's done with Beauty, she takes Beast to bathe him. When she heard the doorbell. She left Beast in the bathroom to check out who was outside her apartment's door. Looking at the peephole. She saw the old Mrs. Jade so she eventually opened the door.

As soon as she unlocked the door a man barged into her surprise. She saw another woman behind him holding old Mrs. Jade and pushed her forcefully on the side.

She looked at the bulky man in front of her. He is looking at her with an evil smile. For a moment she finds the man familiar.

"We finally met, Jenny Do." the bulky man said with a smirk.

"What are you waiting for, get her and let's get out of here!" the woman who was standing at the doorway said.

J took a step backward, Beauty keeps on growling at the strangers. She heard the woman murmuring "How troublesome." before she shot Beauty using a gun with a silencer.

Her eyes went wide. She knew that she should run away first but the first thing she did was rush towards Beauty but the bulky man grabbed her hair to prevent her from running.

She felt the pain in her head as she tried to defend herself. Good thing that she knew kickboxing but that was not enough. She is no match to the bulky man who seemed to be a professional in doing evil things. He was able to dodge every kick and punch that she threw at him.

"Quit playing! Get her!" she heard the irritable voice of the woman who is still standing at the doorway.

The bulky man let out an evil laugh and said, "Where did your patience go sister? I'm coming."

After saying that, in an instant, he managed to position himself behind J and wrapped his muscular arms around her. He put something like a cloth in her mouth and nose that made her feel drowsy.

Losing her consciousness, she looked at Beauty filled with her own blood. She heard Beast growling inside the bathroom. Who dared to abduct her in the broad daylight? Not even bothered to hide their identity. How did they find out her identity? Jacob... Those were the thoughts that lingered in her head before she lost consciousness.
