The Devilish Assassin Meets The Angelic Detective

"Brother Charles, what are you-?" The man was not able to complete his sentence as he stopped midway when his eyes saw Elle standing beside Charles. "L-LADY BOSS???!" The man exclaimed in utter disbelief. The man who was now wearing his surprised expression was none other than but Brother Yu, the leader of Phantom's henchmen. He blinked several times with his mouth gape. He couldn't believe what he was seeing right now. Their lady boss whom they thought two years ago was now standing before him with her bright charming smile. "Yes, Yu… it's me… Elle." She slightly giggled upon seeing him in a state of shock like that. Brother Yu fell silent for a moment, his eyes not leaving Elle's face. The next thing he did was to walk closer to Elle and raised his right hand while poking Elle's right left cheek using his forefinger. Charles frowned upon seeing Lu's action while Elle just stayed rooted in her spot. She didn't know whether to cry or laugh. 'Did he just poke my face to make sure that I'm not a ghost?' Elle just finished thinking that when she heard Brother Yu's delighted voice. "Oh… you are not a ghost! And I'm not imagining things. The Lady Boss is alive and now she's back!!"  Elle could hear the cheerfulness and joy in Brother Yu's voice. "Uhm. L-Lady boss… c-can I…" Brother Yu was saying something but he stuttered in his words. He was scratching his face while looking down, avoiding Elle's eyes. His face and ears were now flushed because of embarrassment. Charles and Elle just watched him in confusion, waiting for him to finish his words. But to their disappointment, Brother Yu stopped as he bit his lower lip. It looked like he was so embarrassed to continue what he was saying. "What is it? Tell me?" Elle couldn't wait for him to complete his sentence so she urged him to speak. Brother Yu took a deep breath and mustered up his courage to ask his Lady Boss, "Can I give you a hug?"  Charles: "..." Elle:"..." Both Elle and Charles were rendered speechless. Now, they knew the reasons why Brother Yu looked like a teenager who just saw his crush. His cheeks were fl.u.s.tered because.of shyness. Because of that Elle was reminded of Brother Lu who was still currently fighting the toxin in his body to survive and stay alive. Among the henchmen of Phantom, brother was the number one fan of Elle. He idolized and admired her so much. Elle immediately extended her both arms in front of Brother Yu, giving him the permission to hug her. Soon, Lu forgot about his shyness as he hugged his Lady Boss.  He was happy to see her alive and he knew that their other brothers would also rejoice once they learned that their Lady Boss was alive. Not only his brothers but most especially their Master Phantom. Charles just shook his head while watching Elle and brother Yu. "What a biased treatment? When I ran to her to hug her, she avoided me and even launched a surprise attack. But now, Yu could hug her without the threat of being attacked by her. TskTsk Tsk. I think I'm jealous now." Charles murmured to himself. But Elle still managed to hear his remarks. "Fool, I was just assessing your current ability and fighting skills a while ago." Elle commented to appease Charles. Charles was shocked. 'Eh did I say it that loud? She still managed to hear even my whisper.' "Alright. I understand." Then Charles turned to brother Yu who had just finished hugging Elle. "By the way, what took you so long to open the door? We already rang the doorbell, for so many times." Charles just finished asking him that question when another person came out of the main door. It was Brother Yan. They could hear that he was calling Brother Yu and Telling  him about something. "Brother Yu, Edson Tyler just passed out. We still didn't get any answer from him." Brother Yan spoke spontaneously, thinking that Brother Yu was the only person outside. That the answer to Charles's question. Brother Yu was not able to open the door for them because they were busy torturing someone. The four of them fell silent. Brother Yan froze in his spot upon seeing the three of them, most especially Elle, their lady boss. But unlike Brother Yu, Brother Yan couldn't utter a word because he was utterly astounded. On the other hand, Elle and Charles had confirmed their suspicions after hearing Edson Tyler's name from Brother Yan. Now, they were a hundred percent convinced that Master Phantom had something to do with the incident last night wherein Edson Tyler was kidnapped and went missing. Brother Yu walked towards Brother Yan who was still frozen and remained still while looking at Elle. It took three taps on the shoulder from Brother Yu to awaken Brother Yan in his deep stupor. "Brother Yu… where's Master Phantom? So in the end, Charles and Master are the ones using my Catseye's Identity?!" Elle said exasperatedly. Elle couldn't believe it. She felt like she was having a headache now. Those two men whom she wished to live simply and happily, away from those dangerous things they did in the past, ended up putting their lives on the line once again just to continue her revenge. The three men remained silent. No one dared to speak up. They could tell that Elle was currently upset with what happened. After all, Catseye was used without her consent. "Where's Master Phantom?" Elle repeated her question. "Lady Boss, he went to City X together with our four brothers headed by Brother Ling. He was not here at City Z as of this moment." Brother Yu was the one who answered Elle. "If he's not in the City Z right now then how come he was able to capture Edson Tyler if he's not here?" Charles asked Brother Yu and Brother Yan. Finally, Brother Yan finally found his voice to speak up. "Brother Charles, Master Phantom was not the one who took Edson Tyler last night." Brother Yan paused and put his arms around Brother Yu's shoulder. "It was Brother Yu who did it while impersonating Catseye, our Lady Boss's identity." Brother Yan explained to them. Elle: "Yu is the new Catseye?!" Charles: "Brother Yu is the other Catseye?" Elle and Charles mumbled at the same time.
