Chương 567: Chapter 568: Dana Ansari

"Wow! I didn't expect that," Stacey remarked.

"Agreed," Rowena replied. [Justiceistruth (Earth): Yoooo, that was cold.] [NonpareilRaphilia (Aaru): An interesting turn of events.] The shuttle was currently floating above where Ayana, Kareen and Dana had been talking outside Kareem's residence. They had been observing their interaction because they were curious to see what decision Ayana would come to.

"I'm not too surprised," Emma stated.

"Why not?" Lorelie asked.

"That's Dana Ansari," Emma replied as she pointed at Dana before continuing, "Dana Ansari and Ayana Keita are old friends and Dana has been Ayana's assistant since Ayana first started working for the Keita family. She has supported Ayana for years and is known for doing the dirty work that Ayana can't be known to be getting involved in because of her position."

"So basically, this Dana does all the dirty work for Ayana?" Eri asked.

"Pretty much," Emma replied.

"Almost every powerful individual in the known universe has someone like her helping them behind the scenes," Aphrodite stated.

"What about the progenitors?" Adam asked curiously.

"That's difficult to answer," Aphrodite replied, before thinking for a moment and then adding.

"The different progenitor races don't like any bad news of their progenitor becoming public knowledge, since it is incredibly rare to come across a member of a race who goes against their progenitor. Because of this, you hardly ever hear any negative news concerning the progenitors."

"I get that you wouldn't want to reveal information about the succuba progenitor, while Rowena wouldn't want to reveal information about the brood progenitor. But what's stopping you from revealing information about another race's progenitor that you learn?" Emma asked.

"Fear," Aphrodite replied simply before continuing, "The progenitors are some of the most powerful entities in the known universe and no one wants to make them their enemy, especially Lord Omniel and the Demon King."

"Makes sense," Emma replied.

"There are always some foolish people, though and news regarding the progenitors does occasionally crop up," Rowena stated.

"DANA! WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU DOING?" The group heard Ayana scream as the shuttle picked up her voice from outside and caused them all to focus on the viewscreen again.

"Doing what you are obviously incapable of doing," Dana replied.

"If I wanted him dead, I would have told you to kill him," Ayana stated angrily.

"Would you, though?" Dana asked before adding, "You have always had a soft spot when it came to that sugar baby."

"I personally think you should be thankful for what Dana Ansari just did for you and your family," Adam remarked after pressing an icon on the shuttle's control panel.

"What! Who's there?" Dana asked in shock as she heard a voice she couldn't pinpoint.

"Adam Spencer!" Ayana growled as she recognised Adam's voice.

"Aww, you even recognise my voice now," Adam remarked sarcastically as he pressed a different icon and the shuttle decloaked.

"HOLY FUCK!" Dana remarked as she, Ayana and all the other people hanging around Kareem's residence looked up at the futuristic shuttle in shock.

"What the fuck is that?" One of the spectators asked.

"Where did it even come from?" Taken from Royal Road, this narrative should be reported if found on Amazon.

"It just randomly appeared."

"IDIOTS! STOP GAWKING AND PROTECT THE BOSS," One of the individuals yelled before a group of suited people surrounded Ayana and Dana while drawing their weapons.

"What do you want, Adam Spencer? You already killed my daughter and got my lover killed," Ayana asked in rage, as right now she wanted nothing more than to order Adam's death. Unfortunately, she knew that her bodyguards were no match for him, let alone his shuttle that currently hovered before them.

"As I said before, I think you should be thanking Dana Ansari for killing that idiot. If she hadn't and you had gone through with your plan, I would have killed him and blown up the Burj Khalifa," Adam replied.

"You overheard my plan?" Ayana asked in surprise.

"Oh sure, we have been here for a while now, so make sure to give Dana a raise," Adam replied humorously.

"Then why are you still here?" Ayana asked.

"Oh, I'm about to leave. But I just wanted to tell you two things beforehand," Adam replied.

"What things?" Ayana asked.

"Well, do you want to hear the good news or the bad news first?" Adam asked.

"Don't mess with me, I'm not in the mood," Ayana snapped.

"The good news," Dana asked quickly.

"She really is a good assistant," Rowena remarked.

"Who's that?" Ayana asked in surprise as she heard a voice she didn't recognise.

"My name is Rowena Nosferatu and I am one of Adam's girlfriends," Rowena replied happily.

"Rowena Nosferatu? That's a rather unusual name," Dana said in surprise.

"Well, I am of the Brood race," Rowena replied.

"Brood race? You mean you're an alien!" Dana asked in surprise before adding, "But I saw the video of you all leaving Prima Flemming and you all appear to be human."

"Earth is not the only planet in the universe that birthed humanoid races, dear," Rowena replied before adding, "Also, we are hiding our additional body parts."

"Additional body parts?" Ayana asked.

"You know, horns and wings, those sorts of things," Rowena answered.

"Seriously?" Dana replied in surprise before focusing and asking, "So what's this good news?"

"Nada Keita won't be the only one I will be killing from this incident, as Robert Flemming will also die," Adam replied.

"Oh, joy, and I'm supposed to be happy about that?" Ayana asked sarcastically before adding, "You still killed my daughter, you bastard."

"Your daughter planned to kill one of my people," Adam replied coldly before adding, "Would you let someone get away with that?" Ayana opened her mouth to reply, but then closed it as she knew she couldn't deny his claim.

"Then might I ask what the bad news is?" Dana asked.

"Don't think I don't know about how you and the other families are still framing me for Jenny's murder," Adam replied before pressing the icon on the control panel to cloak the shuttle while adding as the shuttle vanished from view, "Make sure to wait for my call."

"Fuck!" Ayana and Dana both cursed and it was the last thing the group on the shuttle heard before Adam piloted the shuttle and had it head back towards England.

"So, back to deal with Robert Flemming?" Stacey asked.

"Yup," Adam replied before adding, "Once that's done and I have spoken to the heads of the five families, we can finally head to Fenix Nest."

"Yay, I can't wait to see Revi again," Tephe cheered happily.

"Spector, were you able to determine if the Flemmings family's claim about not slandering me for Jenny's murder is true?" Adam asked.

"Affirmative. While they did not do anything to stop those rumours from spreading, they themselves did not actively spread said rumours." Spector replied through the shuttle's intercom.

"It seems they were telling the truth," Lorelie remarked.

"Well, I guess we can determine what Robert's fate will be after seeing this," Isabella said with a sigh as she looked at the image of Nada Keita's corpse on social media that was lying on the ground below the Burj Khalifa.

"Does this mean Adam is going to kill Robert?" Stacey asked in concern.

"It seems that way," Isabella replied with a sigh.

"Is there no way to save him?" Stacey asked.

"I suppose that depends on how deeply his involvement in Emma Hopkins' kidnapping was. But considering he hired the group who attempted to kidnap her, I don't think there's much hope," Isabella replied.

"It's not entirely surprising, considering what Adam Spencer did to Viktor Morose," Winston replied.

"True, but I also wasn't certain if he would go that far since these are two different situations," Isabella replied before adding, "Jenny Downs was his girlfriend who was killed right in front of him, while Emma Hopkins seems to be more like a business associate."

"Well, we can certainly ascertain that Adam Spencer is very protective of those he cares about," Winston stated.

"Do you think that idiot cares for Emma Hopkins?" Stacey asked.

"Possibly, but he definitely sees her as one of his people," Winston replied.

"And that's reason enough to kill my brother?" Stacey asked angrily.

"Stop being so spoilt," Isabella snapped before continuing, "you forget that we would do exactly the same if someone tried to kidnap or assassinate one of our people."

"Yes, grandmother," Stacey replied meekly.

"So what do you plan to do?" Winston asked.

"Regarding what?" Isabella asked in return, though she suspected what Winston meant.

"Regarding Adam Spencer," Winston replied, proving her right.

"It will be beneficial if our family can stay on good terms with him and work with Emma Hopkins. Doing so might give us the ability to negotiate with him for that advanced technology he possesses and also learn more about what's out there," Isabella answered.

"You mean in the universe?" Stacey asked in surprise before adding, "I still can't believe that he didn't go into hiding but actually left Earth."

"The leaders of the five families decided to keep that information quiet and only a very small number of people on the planet knew about it," Isabella stated.
