His Devious Rule



Anya expressed her gratitude to the shopkeeper who did not have the limited edition gaming console and directed her to another store. 

She left the store and surveyed her surroundings. The street was crowded with mostly men, with very few women in sight. Several shops on E-junkie Road sell replicas of electronic gadgets. If one could find a reliable seller, even ordinary people could purchase limited-edition gadgets. 

She never had to come there as Jason had given her the person who she should contact if she wants any electronic gadgets. Thus she took her sweet time to assess the surroundings.

However, Anya was not there to buy a gaming console. In fact, she had given the console as a Christmas gift to Zane. She was pretending to deceive those who were keeping an eye on her activities.

If Miles Johnson was indeed distracting her by attacking Alvin's workplace through Casper, he would surely keep a watchful eye on her. As a result, she visited several stores, and one of the shopkeepers finally directed her to the store she wanted to visit.

She crossed the street to reach another building, climbed the stairs, and arrived in front of the store on the first floor. Her eyes brushed over the crowd on the road and spotted two men pretending to be looking around.

A sly smirk graced her aloof face when she drew a plan in her mind. For that, she needs to bring those men into the store or lead them to a secluded place.

The middle-aged shopkeeper and his helper glanced at the lady who was at the door. Anyway, they ignored the lady and served the customers who were in the store.

After the customers left, the helper went to the door, hiding his admiration for the lady. He lit the cigarette as he spoke behind his hand, "I will keep an eye." He could watch over if anyone enters the store.

Anya entered the shop as she instructed, "Let the man in the leather jacket enter if he arrives."

The middle-aged shopkeeper watched Anya indifferently enter the shop. It was the first time they were face to face but he had served her on her instructions and Jason's commands.

He couldn't believe she was so young. Anyway, he placed his mobile phone on the table and chuckled, "Who dares to follow the lady?" 

He had received messages from another store that a woman was looking for a gaming console that he had sent to Anya two weeks earlier. From the messages, he understood that someone was tracking Anya, and she was easily outsmarting them.

Anya looked at the senior officer, who was a specialist in electronics and firearms and had been working undercover for years. She nodded her head as a greeting to the officer and simply stated, "Some imbecile." 

Her eyes brushed over the gadgets and stepped towards the replica of the happy hacking keyboard. Her fingers brushed over the keyboard and clicked the keys. 

It was hard to identify it as a replica if one hadn't used the keyboard. Alvin got her the original keyboard of happy hacking. It was top-notch and expensive. She would never spend so much money on it. 

The shopkeeper carefully studied her body language and realized she was wasting time in the store for her stalkers to reach there. She misunderstood why he kept his mobile on the desk. He wasn't showing her the messages he received. He tapped on his phone to get her attention. 

Anya glanced at the man and narrowed her eyes at the mobile screen. She went closer and identified the stalkers. She realized the network of the senior officer in front of her was strong.

She didn't act recklessly or chase after those men because E-junkie Road was involved in the illegal export and import of products. She didn't want to end up in danger without an idea.

The different missions had different plans so the shopkeeper officer didn't take any actions without her. Considering it was her first time there, he was patient, letting her make the decision, and went to fetch the items she was there for.

Anya made some changes in her plan without dirtying her hands, "I want those men… Alive." She put up her demand as the senior officer had control over the area.

The shopkeeper shook his head in resignation and placed the gaming console box, but the contents were not a console. Instead, there were what Anya had asked the man to prepare beforehand.

Before Anya could take the box, the shopkeeper placed his hand on it, leaving Anya momentarily speechless. He instructed her, "Next time, change your car."

Anya knew her expensive car gathers unnecessary attention. She could imagine she was already famous on the E-junkie road. She purposefully didn't trick her stalkers as it could alert the man behind those stalkers.

"Noted." She made the payment and walked out of the store.

She ignored the eyes and got in her car when she received a message from a string of numbers. [Headquarters.]

It was time to pick up Zane so she picked up her son and Jia drove to the new office location. The previous location looked like the company wasn't doing well, now they were in a posh business area with a private building. 

"Momma, the new office location is vast," Zane said looking around at the trees and bushes apart from parking.

Jia looked at the lawn covered in snow. She leaped in excitement, "Aunt Anya, I want to play in the snow." She was confident Anya wouldn't restrict them from playing.

Anya kneeled and put on thick warm gloves for both the kids, "Make sure you enter inside after some time." She sent them to play once she heard her son obediently agree. 

…..

In a room, two men slammed on the door and paced in the room, cursing whoever brought them there. They repeatedly checked their mobile phones having no network. 

Suddenly they heard the clicking of high heels apart from their breathing. The situation was slowly sinking in. They had followed Anya, was Anya behind their kidnapping?

But they had seen Anya take the car to drive away. How could she kidnap them?

Holding their breath, they looked at the door knob turn and unlocked. Their heart started picking speed, etching their eyes on the door that was opening. 

As soon as their eyes fell on steely gray eyes glinting coldly, their eyes widened in horror with the realization that Anya hadn't resigned from her job.

They were following her all these days to find out if she was still on duty. They wanted to drop a message but they were frozen under the oppressing gaze of Anya.

….

Meantime, at Johnson headquarters, 

Miles's secretary was edgy without receiving any follow-up message from the two of Narnia. He rushed inside Miles's office and blurted out, "President Johnson, I think our men are caught." He placed his iPad in front of Miles and added, "It has been an hour since they messaged that Anya Owen left the E-junkie Street with a gaming console."

Miles clenched his teeth thinking of a worse possibility. If his men are caught, Anya was working. He hissed, "Abort all the plans."
