The Devilish Assassin Meets The Angelic Detective

It was very chaotic on Phantom's end. His henchmen were filled with worries about their Master's condition. The doctor was still examining him and they were anxiously waiting for the findings.

They just got lost a comrade and now their Master got sick. They were just hoping that it won't be as bad as what they were thinking. The rest also explained the situation to brother Yu and brother Lu.

They couldn't help but feel terrified after knowing what happened. They were asking themselves what they gonna do if their Master was greatly affected due to his exposure to the bio-weapon.

If the worst thing could happen then they were all ready to risk their lives and willing to infiltrate Dark Knight's facility just to get the antidote for that toxin in order to save their Master.

Meanwhile, the brothers were thinking about what they should do next.

"Brother Yu, I think we should inform Lady Boss about this." Lu suddenly blurted out.

Brother Yu frowned after hearing that. He knew very well what's Phantom would like to do in a situation like this.

"No. Let's keep this from her in the meantime. Master Phantom didn't want to make her worry. We are not yet sure and still waiting for the test result about his condition." Yu rejected Lu's suggestion immediately.

Lu just heaved a sigh of defeat and helplessness. Since Yu was their team leader they must listen to him. 

Seeing his expression, Yu spoke again.

"Lu, you must understand. I know you are thinking that Lady Boss should know this. You have a point but I am looking at this thing from our Master's perspective. He didn't want to trouble or give her a burden. Let's wait and observe things for a while before informing her." Yu explained to him his side.

Lu nodded in agreement. "I understand brother."

"Let's inform Dr. Clara instead. Brother Yan, give her a call and tell her to come here immediately. We need her help. She's an expert in the field of medicine. I am sure she can help us in this situation." Yu turned to brother Yan as he gave him that order.

Yan did what he requested him to do. He immediately called Dr. Clara and informed her about what happened to Phantom. 

Dr. Clara was shocked after hearing the news. She told him that she would go there as soon as possible. She was also worried-sick about Phantom.

The next day, unaware of what was happening on her Master Phantom's end, Elle just continued her daily routine. She was also glad to see that Erick's mood had improved since yesterday.

She guessed that Erick already reconciled with his team. She knew it that it was the only way to make him at ease and relieve himself with those troubles and burdens.

Today was also the day when Erick's parents would go back home to their town. They were currently bidding each other goodbye.

"My darling Elle and my dearest son, take good care of yourselves and stay healthy so that you can give us grandchildren already," Sarah told the husband and wife as she teased them.

Elle immediately blushed from her remarks. Erick chuckled as he put his arms around Elle's shoulder while smiling sweetly at his mother.

"Mom, don't worry, as your son and daughter-in-law, we will try our best to fulfill your wish," Erick reassured her.

Then he turned to his wife whose cheeks were already flushed from embarrassment.

"Am I right wifey?"

Elle just gave him an awkward smile as she hid her annoyance for her shameless husband. But she made sure to shot him a warning glare and pinch his waist when Sarah was not looking at them.

Erick just let out another chuckle because of her reaction. Then Raymond cleared his throat to catch the attention of the couple. He saw their small act of teasing each other. He found it very cute seeing Erick acting childish like that in front of his wife.

"Erick, my son, refrain from annoying your wife very often. You never know what an annoyed wife can do to get even and punish you." Raymond couldn't help but smile as he looked tenderly to his wife, Sarah.

"Alright, Dad! I will keep that in mind, though I am always looking forward to the 'punishment' Elle would like to give me." A cheeky grin appeared on his handsome face.

Elle knew that Erick was referring to her sweet punishment.

'D*mn! I guess I spoiled this man a lot. He doesn't look afraid nor threatened about my punishments instead he is looking forward to it.'

Elle just shook her head from that thoughts.

"Hmm, okay. We have to get going now. Just give us good news." Sarah smiled at them before she gave Elle and Erick a hug.

Soon, Erick's parents left. Elle and Erick also decided to go to their workplace. He dropped Elle first at Falcon Cafe before he headed to their headquarters. 

Erick hadn't given her his answer yet about her proposal last time. He was taking his time to think it over. Elle didn't want to rush him nor pressure him besides she already gave him time to decide.

In the afternoon, Elle was very occupied with entertaining their customers when she noticed something. There was a black car being parked on the other side of the road, facing Falcon's Cafe.

That car had been there since this morning. If she could remember well, it was similar to the car which was behind them when Erick dropped her in the Cafe.

She had a nagging feeling about this. She could sense that something was off with that car. It raised suspicion in her mind. She had this feeling this morning as if she was being watched but she didn't dwell on it. But now, she became alert.

'Who are they? Are they just waiting for the right time to attack?' 

Then Elle turned to Elena. If something dangerous was gonna happen then she didn't want her to be involved. 

As of this moment, only the two of them were present at Falcon Cafe. Fortunately, today there were only a few customers.

"Elena?"

"Hmm, yes sis?"

The two of them just finished preparing the orders of their two customers.

"Since we don't have a lot of customers today I am planning to close this Cafe as early as 3:00 pm this afternoon. You can go ahead first and rest." Elle said to her.

Elena turned to her wristwatch. It was only 2:00 pm in the afternoon. There was still one hour before closing the Cafe.

"Okay, Sis. But I will stay for another hour to accompany you." Elena insisted.

"It's alright. I can manage. Oh, I remember, we need to talk with our supplier of cakes. Why don't you go now and meet her? Then after that, you can go home straight." Elle suggested to her. She was eager to send off Elena right away to leave the Cafe.

"Okay, Sis. I will do that." Elena finally agreed on her.

Elle also gave her the money to pay their supplier. After receiving Elle's instruction, Elena left the Cafe immediately. Now she was alone in the Cafe together with three customers who were taking their snacks inside.

Elle decided to place the 'Sorry-We- Are- Closed- Now. Come- Back-Again -Tomorrow' flashcard on the entrance door of the Cafe. After thirty minutes, all the customers inside left.

Elle took that chance to enter her secret bas.e.m.e.nt. She walked towards her weapons. She paused for a moment thinking about what she should pick. Then her gaze fell on the set of poison needles. She chose the one with paralyzing and sedative effects.

Her lips curled up into a sly smile after picking up her chosen weapon.

"Now, let's see if my prey will take the bait," she mumbled to herself before leaving her secret bas.e.m.e.nt.

It did not take long when four men alighted from the black car outside. Then they proceeded inside the Cafe. One remained outside the entrance door who served as the lookout while the three of them entered the Cafe.

Elle welcomed them with her innocent look in her face.

"Good afternoon sirs. I am sorry but we are now closed today. You can go back tomorrow."

One man responded to her. With his wicked smile plastered on his face, he said to her. 

"We are not here to buy your cakes dear. We've come to fetch the sweet little girlfriend of a Chief Detective."
