The Devilish Assassin Meets The Angelic Detective

Marie: "Hey, where are you now?"

Black Shadow: "Sorry Babe, something just came up. I can not meet you tonight."

Marie: "Just tell me where are you right now. What happened?"

Black Shadow: "Sorry Babe, I will explain it to you some other time. I have to go now."

Marie: "Wait..."

Black Shadow hung up the phone before Marie could ask him further.

"Have you locate his location, Rose?" Marie asked her as soon as the phone call ended.

"Negative. If the call stayed longer, we would be able to locate his location however both of you just talked for less than a minute." Rose replied feeling frustrated. She was still in the headquarters.

"It looks like he did not suspect me of anything. I can still continue to interact with him and do some spying." Marie felt relieved.

Captain Jason sighed deeply.

"We have no choice but to abort this mission. Detective Lee had been injured. Do you have any updates from Sergeant Velasquez regarding Chief Lee's condition?"

Everyone had gloomy expressions in their faces. They were all worried about Erick.

"The operation is still ongoing according to Bryan. The doctor said it will become more critical this time. There is a bullet near his heart." April answered with her worried voice.

"Alright... Let us think positive. Erick will be okay. He is a strong-willed man." Captain Jason said to them trying to console everyone.

"Sorry Captain... It was our fault. Reaper was able to escape from us." Carl said apologetically.

"Yes, Captain forgive us... we failed our job." June also blamed himself

They felt bad after what happened. If they were just able to apprehend Reaper then this incident would not happen.

Erick was successful in restraining Black Shadow but unfortunately, Reaper interfered. This was a huge blow for them.

"Stop blaming yourselves. We cannot undo the past even if you blame yourselves. No one wanted this to happen."

"For now, let us go to the hospital first. I am also worried about Bryan. He was just alone there right now. I think he was also shocked and this incident had a negative impact on him."

"He might also feel guilty and blame himself about what happened since he was with Erick at that time."

The members of the joint task force went to the hospital together. They were hoping that nothing would go wrong during the operation. They were all silently praying for Erick's safety.

---------------

Meanwhile, Black Shadow and Reaper were sitting inside their hideout. Black Shadow was treating his bruise that he got during the fight with Erick.

"Thanks, Bro for saving my a*s this time. I owe you." Black Shadow chuckled after saying that.

"Well... it is my pleasure that the mighty Black Shadow has a debt to me now," Reaper said as he smirked at him

"By the way, how did you know that it was a trap?"

Black Shadow was now curious. At first, he was not aware of that. He was bewildered when he learned that the person whom he thought was just a snatcher could really fight well.

"When I was following you, there were guys who blocked my way and stopped me. I thought they were just thugs."

"When I started fighting them I noticed that they are well-trained. Their moves are not just simple. They have good combat skills."

"So I have my suspicion and I am right they are police agents."

"I am glad you came at the right moment. By the way, we were there for our date then you brought your gun with you." Black Shadow said feeling amused.

"Well... remember we are still wanted criminals. We might encounter some of our enemies along the way. It is better to be prepared than to be sorry."

"Yeah... It makes sense. I should do that next time."

"Haha but I could not believe that you were easily defeated and got caught by that man. I can't even win against you during our sparring session but he toppled you down so easily."

Reaper laughed at Black Shadow's defeat. Black Shadow's expression changed as he remembered what happened to him just a while ago.

"I have some score to settle with that man. If he survives tonight then I will make sure that when we meet again, I will surely kill him."

Reaper burst into laughter because of his remarks.

"Hmm, if he can survive. You know me. I am very accurate with my shooting. My bullet surely pierced his heart." Reaper said confidently.

"I already did an act of revenge for you buddy so you don't have to worry about him."

"My arm is still hurting. He twisted my arm! D*mn... I want to beat him so badly."

"What do you think is their purpose of going after you? You have not killed anyone since you are busy hunting Catseye."

"I don't know. But I will find it out...very soon." 

--------------------

Unknown to the two assassins who were leisurely talking in their hideout, there was someone who was preparing to avenge Erick. They had provoked the devil.

After stopping by the hospital, Elle could not bear to wait for Erick's operation to finish.

She knew that she would be more anxious if she stayed there at the hospital doing nothing.

Besides, she was really eager to meet and punish the person who did that to Erick. She was boiling with fury.

She went straight to her place for the following two reasons:

First, she needed to trace the location of his target. Second, she needed to get her weapons.

Charles and Phantom were puzzled when they saw Elle's grim expression when she entered the house.

Charles wanted to ask her where did she go but his words were stuck in his throat. He could not utter any words sensing the murderous aura that Elle was emitting right now.

Elle was now seriously looking at her computer screen as her hands were busy typing on the keyboard.

"Master, what do you think is happening right now?" Charles had no choice but to ask Phantom.

"Hmm, I think someone will be having a taste of devil's viciousness tonight." Phantom simply said as he observed Elle.

"Elle is dead serious right now." He added.

Charles gulped after hearing that. 'Well, who is the unlucky person this time?'

Phantom and Charles were silently observing on the side when Elle suddenly stood up and went to her underground bas.e.m.e.nt where her weapons were being kept.

"Master, won't you ask her what is she planning to do?" Charles looked more uneasy.

"I don't think that is the right thing to do. No need to ask. Let us wait. Elle will talk to us if she needs our help."

Meanwhile, inside her underground bas.e.m.e.nt, Elle picked up her favorite customized daggers, one Beretta 92FS pistol and poison needles.

She also changed into her assassin's clothes. While changing she noticed the object hanging around her neck, a necklace with a blue pendant.

It was given to her by Erick. This necklace had a GPS function that once she clicked it, Erick would be notified of her location.

She smiled faintly as she forgot to leave this item behind. She remembered how determined Erick was in protecting her that time, giving her different types of items for protection.

Her hand touched the necklace dangling in her neck. She gently tugged the small blue pendant as she closed her eyes.

"Erick... please be safe and wait for me. This time I will be the one to protect you," she mumbled as her grip on the pendant tightened.

Seconds after she opened her seething eyes which were burning with rage. The demon inside her was now fully awakened. She was now ready to unleash her wrath.

After getting everything that she needed she went out of the underground bas.e.m.e.nt only to see two figures waiting for her outside.

She stared at them with her blank expression. The two men were waiting for her to speak.

"I will do something tonight that might stir up a conflict between me and the Assassin's Guild." Elle finally spoke up to them.

"I am not asking for your permission but I am just informing you ahead that I will go against the Assassin's Guild," she added.

Charles's eyes bulged in shock while Phantom slightly frowned because of her remarks.

Assassin's Guild was an organization of different professional assassins. It was also like a sworn brotherhood of all the assassin members.

Assassin's Guild was the one responsible for releasing and disseminating missions with its members. There were advantages of being members of this assassin's organization.

The guild ensured the safety of its members and also gave necessary support to its members when they encountered troubles during their mission.

The organization was also helping the assassins to live their normal lives by giving them another identity and protection despite being included in the list of most wanted criminals.

Assassin's Guild had some rules and there was one important rule that members must follow:

[ Don't fight with your fellow members, help each other and avenge your fallen brothers! ]

That was the reason why Charles and Phantom were surprised at the mention of Assassin's Guild.

They had no idea what happened that forced Elle to wage a war with Assassin's Guild. Both of them had the same question in mind.

'Why now? She did not think about it even though Black Shadow was trying to go against her and he even hurt her before. She did not mind them. So why do this now?'

Black Shadow was a member of Assassin's Guild as well as Reaper.

"I won't let you stop me. This is my war. You don't need to be involved even though it might also affect you in the future." Elle said with her stern cold voice.

After saying that Elle decided to leave. She walked past them without looking back.

She was resolute and unswerving with her decision. They knew that there was no use of stopping her. All they could do now was support her.

Looking at her retreating back, Charles asked Phantom "What should we gonna do now Master?"

Phantom gave him a reassuring smile before he replied "Of course, we should follow the lady boss and make sure that nothing bad will happen to her. Are you in?"

And the two men decided to go after her. They won't interfere with her plan but they would just follow her to ensure that everything won't go wrong.
