The Devilish Assassin Meets The Angelic Detective

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

The moment Elle heard the statements from the other guy, a cold light flashed in her dark eyes as she looked at them.

'So this has something to do with Erick? Who sent these people?' Elle couldn't help but ponder for a few seconds then someone popped up in her mind.

'Could it be the Azumi Twins?' she thought to herself.

She focused her attention back to the three men who were standing in front of her with full confidence and intimidating aura. But it had no effects on her.

This was a common mistake of arrogant people who were full of themselves. Thinking that they were at the advantage just because they appeared to be stronger than the petite woman who looked vulnerable to them.

"Pardon sir? What do you mean by saying that? Do you know Erick? Did something wrong happen to him?" Elle asked them, pretending to be ignorant of the current situation she was facing.

The man who spoke to her chuckled before he answered her.

"Don't worry Miss. He is just fine. You should worry about yourself instead. You are in this predicament because of him. You should blame him."

The three men smirked at her with their eyes filled with malice. Elle tried her best to make them believe that she felt scared and threatened. She stepped backward.

The men were enjoying just seeing her frightened expression. It boosted their confidence as they felt superior over her. They had the urge to play with this 'little kitten' first.

Their mission was to bring her with them alive but it didn't mean that they were not allowed to play with her especially that their target was so good looking like a goddess of beauty. 

But little did they know that the woman whom they thought as the goddess of beauty was also considered as the devil queen of death. They were really unknowingly courting death this time.

"No! Stop! Don't come near me!" Elle exclaimed as she moved backward. 

The three men let out a sinister laugh.

"Run!" The other guy said to her with his wicked smile.

"Uh oh… but she has nowhere else to go. She is a trapped little kitten now." The other guy also butted in.

"Oh… but this Cafe is quite spacious. She can still run around this place as we try to catch her." He replied to him.

"Hmm, just don't let us catch you kitten. Because if you do we will make sure to give you one hell of an experience that you will never forget." The man said to her as he licked his lips, his eyes filled with l.u.s.t.

The other guy outside couldn't bear to wait any longer as he entered the Cafe.

"Hey, stop that already. We should get going or else those twins will get impatient just waiting for us! You don't want to piss off those two."

Elle's lips twitched in a suppressed smile after hearing that.

'So it's really the Azumi Twins who sent them. Tsk Tsk Tsk. I will be more than happy if they were the ones who personally came here to fetch me. So disappointing.'

The guy who looked like the team leader just glared at the man. He picked at his ears, feeling irritated with the man's ranting.

"Stop your nonsense! They are not our boss. We are just simply giving them a hand. So it's nothing wrong to enjoy this a little bit." 

Elle was just observing them on the sideline. It's a good thing that all four of them were now gathered there together. Just hearing their conversation, she could speculate things in her mind.

'Someone was helping the Azumi Twins. So what Black Shadow had told me before was true. Someone hired the twins to kill me.'

She was laughing inwardly. 'Black Shadow's warning and his lies was a great help. The twins didn't suspect me as Catseye. They didn't investigate further how Erick and I had met each other. It seemed like they just looked into our relationship as a couple. Good job Black!'

The four men before her were still arguing. She had to give credits to the newcomer who kept on opposing the other three. They were a bunch of fools, fighting each other during their mission.

Because of that Elle was able to pick up her hidden weapon inside her pocket without them noticing. They were not on guard since they thought they already outnumbered her. 

Furthermore, they just considered her as a weak woman who couldn't fight back against them. Still occupied with their arguments, Elle moved in a flash using her speed.

She charged towards them as she pricked them one by one using her poison needles aimed at their necks. It was too late for them to retaliate.

"Sh!t! What did you do?" One of them mumbled as he touched the part where he was pricked by the needle.

The rest just looked at her with disbelief and confusion. They were still oblivious of what had just happened. The other guy tried to grab her but failed as she was able to move away from his grasp.

Then after a few seconds, they felt lightheaded and their visions became blurry. They felt the sudden surge of dizziness and their bodies became numb in an instant. The last thing they saw was her sly smile before blackness completely consumed them.

Thud! Thud! Thud! Thud!

The four of them fell on the ground unconscious. Elle shook her head as she watched those men. 

She sighed deeply as she said, "I think I have to bring and drag these four to the secret bas.e.m.e.nt by myself."

After saying that, she suddenly missed Charles and Phantom. If they were around then they would be the ones to handle these four men.

She had to wait for another two hours before these men would wake up. She would seek some answers from them.

Even though she already knew who sent them still, she wanted to confirm it from them. She needed to know what the Azumi Twins was planning.

'I have to call Erick first. I want to make sure that he is just fine.'

Without wasting her time, Elle immediately dialed Erick's phone number. After a few rings, it was immediately answered by him.

"Yes, wifey? Did you miss me already?" Erick's cheerful voice could be heard from the other line.

"Where are you? Are you okay?" Elle ignored his teasing. She asked him directly, concerns filled her voice.

On the other hand, Erick was taken aback hearing a hint of seriousness and worry in her tone. Unaware of what was happening, Erick just answered his wife.

"I am here at the headquarters right now. I am just fine, why are you asking? Is there something wrong Elle?" 

Elle heaved a sigh of relief. It looked like Black Shadow was right again. The Azumi Twins knew how capable Erick was, that's why they didn't target him directly.

Instead, they targeted the person who was closed to him. As expected, they were the kind of people who wouldn't fight you in front and would backstab their opponents' back just like what they did to Black Shadow.

Elle decided to keep this incident for now. She didn't want him to worry. She knew that if she told him that some people came to attack her then he would immediately go to her.

She still needed to interrogate her attackers. And if Erick was there beside her, she couldn't show him how brutal she was when torturing those four.

"Nothing. I just suddenly miss you. By the way, just stay there at the headquarters. Don't leave and ask Bryan to accompany you when you need to go out. Just don't be alone." Elle said as she advised him.

When she heard no response aside from his silence she could imagine that Erick was frowning and didn't believe that nothing was wrong. Her warning was enough to raise suspicion from him.

"Elle, what's wrong? Tell me honestly." Erick sounded so serious.

She bit her lower lip. She needed to come up with a good answer or else Erick would come to her right now. He already sensed that something was wrong.

"Eh… I am just worried about you. I remembered what Black Shadow had told me before. The Azumi Twins might do something to you because of Catseye."

This time Erick seemed to believe her reason.

"Alright. Don't worry about me. I can protect myself. I will come and pick you up later. You too. Always be careful. Don't leave the Cafe, alone."

"Yes, hubby!"

'Yes, hubby! I am not going anywhere other than here since I still have to deal with these four flies.' Then her signature evil smile appeared on her face from that thought.
