CHAPTER 07.HE HAS A CHILD.

In L&M Hotels, Harry sat on the plush green couch in his sitting room, sipping green tea. The door creaked open, revealing Pietro.

"Young master," Pietro bowed before joining him on the couch.

"Did you get all that I told you?" Harry asked, fixing his gaze on Pietro.

"Yes, sir. Most of them still think I'm working for Mr. Damon, making it easier for me to get access to them," Pietro replied with a wide smile.Harry had instructed him to investigate everything related to Mr. Damon which hadead to the discovery that drugs were being peddled in and out of the Archer's hotel in Lastovo under the guise of a hotel.

"Anything from Mr. Damon yet?" Harry asked, Casually changing the TV channel.

"Yes, he did call while I was there," Pietro replied.

"Good! I've got another assignment for you," Harry said, turning his gaze to Pietro.

"At your service, young master," Pietro announced.

The door suddenly opened, revealing Jade. "Good day, sir," she greeted before joining the men on the couch dropping her bag by her side.

"What's the progress?" Harry turned to Jade, and she nodded. She stood up and went to get a cup of coffee.

"Two!" Pietro chimed in playfully as she stood up to get the coffee.

Few minutes later Jade brought two cups of coffee and handed one to Pietro. She gulped hers, then exhaled heavily, showing her fatigue from running errands for Harry.

"Sir, it's complicated," she started as both Harry and Pietro raised an eyebrow.

"I checked the details about that hotel and noticed it's not under Mr. Damon's name. It seems he has some accomplices and backups," Jade added, pulling out some documents from her bag.

"Does it mean the Archer's group isn't solely owned by him?" Harry's interest piqued.

"Yes, sir!" She replied confidently.

"Seems more interesting than I thought," Harry smiled, sipping his green tea. He had sent his subordinate to investigate his ex-father-in-law in an attempt to bring him down.

"Sir, from the properties I found, none were solely owned by Mr. Damon. The only thing solely owned by him is the law firm," Jade said, reading from the documents.

Harry's eyes widened in curiosity as he muttered coldly under his breath, "I'll take everything."

Jade stopped, hearing some whispers. "Sir, are you talking to me?"

"No, continue," Harry replied faking a smile.

"All the others are joint ventures with a certain Mr. Steele and Mr. Martino," Jade confirmed, and Harry raised an eyebrow in disbelief while he nodded confirming the information.

"Then who are these men?" Harry couldn't help but ask.

Jade took a deep breath. "I know most men as being very influential in Europe. I could only dig into Mr. Martino's shady deals, and I found that Mr. Martino is a drug lord posing as a philanthropist in front of the media and the public," she said, closing her documents.

"I couldn't get my hands on anything related to Mr. Steele. I'll be getting that tomorrow," Jade said as she slumped onto the couch.

"So they're all drug dealers?" Harry remarked with a Chuckle, and Jade nodded in agreement.

"Drug dealers, and my ex-father-in-law is vying for Congress. I will make it a smooth transition. His win would be one for the books!" Harry chuckled sacastically.

A message chimed into Pietro's phone, and he quickly retrieved it. Clicking on the message, it revealed video evidence of Mr. Damon's drug deals.

"Sir, the video has been sent," Pietro passed the phone to Harry who smiled as he collected the device.

Harry stared at the videos and pictures for a few minutes, then a satisfied smirk curled up his lips. The video contained evidence of drugs being peddled into the hotel and taken out.Exactly the kind of one he needed to bring Damon down.

The phone was later passed to Jade, whose face turned into a frown as she dropped the phone on the couch.Her expression drew everyone's attention.

"Sir, getting associated with Mr. Martino and Steele would be very risky," she declared with a husky voice that betrayed her confidence.

"Those men are said to be very fearsome and scary, having a lot of connections over the states," she added hesitantly hoping Harry listened to her.

"I'm the absolute authority in Europe. They'll bow to my dominance or suffer the consequences!" He declared coldly, his voice commanding and leaving no room for argument.

"They'll all submit to me to survive! And even if they do, I won't still let them have their freedom back. I'm inflicting my karma on the Archers, so anyone associated with them is my enemy, and it would be my pleasure to wipe them off," Harry added, wearing his confidence like a crown.

His words made Jade give a resolute nod as her shoulders stood tall, exuding an air of confidence.

"Pietro, I want you to send those pieces of evidence to our media team. I want my ex-father-in-law to win his post by all means, and I'll make sure to do anything in my power to help that," he announced,his voice dripping with sacarsm.

"Send it to them, and they should do the needful in helping him win his district!" He chuckled triumphantly, leaning back on the couch, crossing his legs over the glass table opposite him.

'I'll make sure Archers live to regret their mistake of ever playing me,' he thought.

"Pietro, check out Mr. Steele and Martino while you finish up what I gave you!" Harry ordered, and Pietro bowed to leave when Jade's phone began to ring.

She quickly picked it up without checking the caller ID, and the voice sent chills down her spine. Her eyes darted around nervously, telling Harry and Pietro what they needed to know.

Knowing the voice to be Mr. Damon's, she quickly dropped the phone on the glass table, increasing the volume to be on loudspeaker.

"Hello," the caller said, and Jade replied.

"Is this Miss Jade?" The caller asked.

"Yes, sir," Jade confirmed slowly,her face an expression of how confused she was.

"Good!" He started. "I've Harry Luciano's child with me here." He paused, and both Jade and Pietro shot Harry nervous glances. Jade trembled at the thought of it as her breaths became shallow and rapid while Mr. Damon continued.

"The child he thought was taken away by a miscarriage four years ago was a lie. She is still alive and healthy under my custody. If he wants his child, he should follow my instructions. Make sure he doesn't do anything stupid if he really wants her back in his life," he threatened and ended the call immediately.

Jade exhaled heavily as the room became a shadow of what it used to be. It fell into an eerie silence. Jade folded her arms, thinking of the revelation of the news, while Pietro yawned, covering his mouth with hands as his breathing fastened.

Jade's eyes darted nervously to Harry, who was now cold, while she thought, 'Does Harry really have a child?
