When her car entered Raul's mansion, some of his servants and subordinates were seen staring at the Voda family crest on her car.
Tyde followed Gaga who showed her the way inside.
After she was seated opposite Raul Adara in his visitor's room,Gaga poured her a drink.
"That is a medicinal drink for your wounds." said Raul.
Tyde quietly took in the drink. It was bitter and she hated it. But she still took it. As she was drinking it she thought how her life was exactly like this right now. She did not have the choice to reject a drink even if it was bitter, even if it had the chance to be poisoned. In all the matters till now, she did not seem to be having a choice. She was simply doing everything she can to help her family survive.
Raul had failed Helios in nabbing Demetero with evidence. In his fit of rage he had thought of using the Vodas or eliminating them in the process. But as Raul watched Tyde gulping down the drink, he felt a sort of pity towards this brat who was supposedly his enemy.
"The Demeteros have moved to the southern county and they desperately need financial backing right now as they have a debt to the Tordens." Said Raul.
Tyde gathered from this that the Demeteros were earlier being financed by the Tordens. So ultimately the Tordens were the ones behind this.
" Ask Ares to get in touch with Lady Demetero and inform her that he is interested in their business and shall serve as the intermediary." said Raul
"Tell them you are selling your business and the buyer is indirectly investing in the drug trade.The southern county has many water clan families.So it will be easier to convince him that you have backing from one of them. After the Demeteros take the bait, the Adaras would take care of the rest. "concluded Raul.
Tyde thought it through and thought it was not a bad idea.
" If the Demeteros suspect something or cannot be convinced then abandon the plan. " said Raul getting up. This was the most he could do.
" But where shall we find Lady Demetero?"asked Tyde
" There is Estelle Torden's wedding in a few days. The Demeteros are sure to attend. I shall arrange one invitation for Lord Voda. "
Gaga looked at Raul. Lord Adara did not seem to want involve Lady Tyde in it.
Tyde thought she had heard the name Estelle Torden before. Was it the famous actress Estelle Torden? Ares would be delighted.
" Should we arrange the people who would act as the financial backers or.."spoke Tyde
" That would be unnecessary. They should think it is some family of the water clan who are interested in secretly investing in drugs. "
Tyde wondered whether the Demeteros would catch the bait. But if they are that desperate for money, it would be possible.
"Even if the Demeteros suspect something they might think it is easy to take down you Vodas. They do not know that we are backing you in this."said Raul.
"I understand." said Tyde getting up to take her leave.
"Also," Raul said just when she was leaving, "You need not involve yourself in this. Just convince your cousin."
Then why bring her here to dicuss, thought Tyde. Tyde could not say what Lord Adara was thinking but she was sure of one thing,that this was indeed a very dangerous business. But if this could clear her family of suspicion she did not mind doing what she can.
