The Devilish Assassin Meets The Angelic Detective

The members of the Joint Task Force just realized that the person beside Erick who was wearing all black matching with a hood and a mask was Bryan.

They somehow put the pieces of the puzzle together but there were still a lot of questions running in their minds. Now, aside from the Azumi Twins, Erick's team was also waiting and anticipating his response to the last question raised to him by the twins.

"Come on Chief Detective Lee! Tell us. You don't need to worry. We are the only ones here and your team is not around. Did you really betray your team? Are you protecting Catseye that's why he is helping you right now?" Kelsy urged him to answer as she repeated her question.

Erick's expression darkened as he clenched his fists. Meanwhile, Bryan was staring at him worriedly. 

"Erick… you don't have to answer that question if you feel uncomfortable. Don't get affected. No one betrays someone." Bryan said to him in a low voice.

After saying that Bryan heard Elle's voice.

"Bryan, answer that question for me. Repeat what I am about to say."

"Okay." Bryan simply replied.

Then Bryan turned to Kelsy and for the first time, he finally spoke up.

"Chief Detective Lee saved my life before not knowing about my true identity as Catseye. I was indebted to him, that's why I am doing this. I owe him my life so I will not hesitate to return that favor." Bryan said to them.

"Hmmm, interesting! So he saved you and he had no idea of your identity. Would you still save him if you knew his identity, Chief Lee?" Kelsy continued asking Erick.

"Yes. I would do the same thing." Erick promptly replied.

Bryan looked at him. 'That's Erick, no matter who you are he will not hesitate to help a person in need.'

Kevin gave Kelsy a warning look. He already felt bored and he didn't want to drag this for long.

"Can we now proceed to our proper business?" Kevin couldn't stop himself from voicing out his annoyance.

Kelsy patted Kevin's shoulder as if telling him to relax.

"Oh, one last question… when did you learn that he is Catseye?"

Bryan also felt irritated by the way Kelsy was interrogating Erick. They also wanted to finish this and leave this place. So to satisfy her curiosity Bryan just spoke up again on Erick's behalf.

"Two days ago! I have no choice but to tell him the truth since I found out that you kidnapped his parents! You are so cunning and despicable! How dare you use innocent people for your gains? Let's finish this once and for all! Do you want to fight me? Then let's fight, fair and square! Ask these men to scram!" Bryan burst out uncontrollably, speaking what's on his mind spontaneously.

Erick: "..."

Elle:"..."

Joint Task Force: "..."

Kevin: "..."

Kelsy: "..."

Dark Knight's men: "..."

They were all speechless after hearing Bryan's words. They didn't expect him to be that bold and talk much. Is that really Catseye?

Upon noticing their strange look they were giving him Bryan raised his brows as he continued.

"What?! Are you afraid of me?" Then Bryan let out a sarcastic laugh.

"Well, that's obvious. The Azumi Twins seem to be afraid of me and not confident enough to face me. Bringing a lot of men with them just to welcome me here. Tsk Tsk Tsk." Bryan sneered at them as he talked confidently.

On the other hand, Elle massaged the space between her brows. This was what she was afraid of- Bryan's Blabbering Mouth. She could feel that Bryan's words just provoked the enemies around them most especially the Azumi Twins.

Just from the expression of Kevin, she could tell that he was already thinking a lot of ways how to kill Bryan as of this moment. Dark Knight's men were also ridiculing him on the side as they looked daggers at him.

They couldn't take his arrogance and overbearing confidence. Although they were already completely surrounded by the enemies he still had the guts to talk like that with his brave front.

"My dear sister, since Catseye is very eager to go to his deathbed then why don't we fulfill his request?" Kevin said to Kelsy meaningfully.

Kelsy flashed her sly smile before she replied to her brother. "I agree with you this time, brother."

Dark Knight's men also put on a sinister smile and shot Bryan a stare as if the predators were looking at their poor prey.

Erick and Bryan as well as the joint task force and Elle's team could feel the change of atmosphere around the place. 

Now, there was a heavy tension filling the air. They became more vigilant and alert as if any moment the fight would break out and was about to happen.

Seconds later, Kelsy signaled the two men guarding Erick's parents to untie them. The Dark Knight's men also held their firearms, getting ready to shoot at any moment if the circ.u.mstances would require them to do so.

There were approximately fifty to sixty Dark Knight's men being dispatched in that area while others were scattered in the other parts of the Ship.

Erick and Bryan were surrounded by ten men. The rests were standing on guard in the different corners in that hall. The negotiation was happening in the center. Several pairs of eyes were focused on them including those people hiding in the shadow.

Kelsy and Kevin also picked up their pistol. Sarah and Raymond were now having a worried look in their faces. Everyone was anticipating what would happen in the next few minutes.

Kelsy gazed up to see Erick's face. He was very quiet while having a serious expression. Kelsy couldn't help but flash her seductive smile as she met Erick's gaze.

'He's so hot having that kind of expression. Oh, I am tempted to ravish this gorgeous man. I want to steal him a kiss.' Kelsy thought to herself as she started to approach Erick.

Bryan and Erick stayed on guard and alert.

Seconds later, Kelsy was now standing in front of Erick. The smile never left her face. She was holding her pistol on her right hand so she used her left hand and tried to touch Erick's face.

When Bryan saw what Kelsy was trying to do, his eyes widened and his mouth gaped.

'Uh oh! Don't! Don't you dare touch him or else you will regret it. He is someone else's man. Elle won't forgive you!' Bryan mumbled to himself.

From the shadow, Elle could see clearly what was happening down there. Her eyes were now bloodshot as she watched Kelsy's figure in front of Erick. She was fuming in rage just seeing the look in Kelsy's face as she stared at Erick.

'Is she trying to seduce my man?'

Elle didn't know if she would be able to control herself once Kelsy tried to do some tricks on Erick. She would surely go wild because of madness and fury.

"Don't you ever touch my man with your filthy hands. I swear I will cut them myself. Stay away from him right now!" Elle mumbled through her gritted teeth.

Fortunately, before Kelsy's hand could touch Erick's face Erick grabbed it to stop her.

"What are you doing?" Erick said to her sternly.

Instead of being displeased by Erick's act of rejection, Kelsy giggled in amus.e.m.e.nt.

"Chief Lee, do you know what? If we are not after Catseye then I will demand you to sleep with me in exchange for your parents' freedom." Kelsy blatantly said to him.

"You have a very irresistible charm to women. Hmmm... I am a woman with a high standard and can hardly be pleased by men but seeing you I am very tempted to have a taste of your kissable lips."

Erick's eyes squinted after hearing that while Bryan was taken aback by Kelsy's boldness. She was really courting death by coveting Catseye's man.

Then Bryan secretly contacted Elle.

"Elle, calm down. Control yourself. We are still doing the negotiation. Don't be jealous and don't be mad. Don't unleash your demon yet. Let's secure Erick's parents first." Bryan said nervously as he tried to pacify Elle.

Bryan was more afraid of the angry Catseye than the enemies who currently surrounded them.

Then after a few seconds, Bryan heard the stern cold voice of Elle.

"Then get that b!tch away from my man, right now!"

Just her mere voice could give him a chill and send shivers down his spine.

'D*mn. The devil is really mad!'
