The Devilish Assassin Meets The Angelic Detective

They heard the loud chuckle of the man. "Just call me Catseye version 2.0."

"Catseye version 2.0?" Black Shadow repeated his words, still frowning.

Phantom's henchmen started laughing because they knew very well that person who was speaking to them right now.

"That's our brother Charles. He also came tonight." Brother Yu mumbled in his bright tone.

"Charles? Do you mean… Catseye's middleman, Charles? When did he become Catseye version 2.0?" Black Shadow couldn't help but wonder.

He could still remember how weak Charles was. He was not able to fight back when Black Shadow abducted him so that they could lure Catseye into the Skull Gang's headquarters.

Charles was the reason Black Shadow and James were able to discover Catseye's identity. Elle came to save him. 

Who would have thought that weak fellow before could also become Catseye version 2.0? Was he worthy of that title? Did he improve his fighting skills?

"For me, there's only one Catseye. Others are just impostors." Black Shadow declared on their communication device.

Spike and Sherlock just facepalmed after hearing Black Shadow's childish rant once again.

"Can the two of you stop arguing? We are in the middle of a very important mission. It's time to move now!" Spike reprimanded Charles and Black Shadow.

Other team members just burst out laughing.

"Aye, sir! I'm on the move now. Wait for my signal," Black Shadow said before moving to eliminate the snipers one after another.

"Me too. Target spotted. I'm off to eliminate other guards that are positioned in the higher grounds," Charles also informed them.

"Black, Brother Charles… be careful!" Brother Yu said to both of them.

While Charles and Black Shadow were on the move to provide openings for their team, the Dark Lord and the Red Dragon started their negotiation inside the abandoned building.

"It's my pleasure to finally meet the mysterious leader of the Dark Knight Organization. I feel very touched that you personally came tonight to close this deal despite your busy schedule," The Red Dargon acknowledged and put emphasis on the Dark Lord's esteemed presence tonight.

The Dark Lord just let out a husky laugh. Both of them were wearing masks. Their identities were also a mystery in the underground world.

"Well, let's just say I also value your presence, Red Dragon. You also traveled from a faraway place just to do this transaction personally. So it is my obligation to welcome you personally."

"Hmm, I really appreciate this kind gesture from you, Dark Lord. So let's start our negotiation now. What is your starting price again with those precious weapons of yours?"

These conversations were being translated by Kelsy to the two leaders. Every time they would speak their dialect, Kelsy would relay the message to each one of them.

Red Dragon: " Did you bring the package? How many?"

Dark Lord: "How many can you afford to buy? By the way, this is Alfonso. He is the person-in-charge of managing our Bio-weapon facility. He can explain to you how this bio-weapon will work."

Alfonso stepped forward as he joined their conversation.

Alfonso: "We brought the package. We have a lot of available stocks. We prepared three types of weapons, the one in a tube that you can use to inject with someone's body, another one, a personalized gun with a bio-weapon as its bullet, and the third one is a specialized bomb. The price also varies."

Red Dragon: "Oh, it's interesting. You also made personalized guns and bombs out of those bio-weapons. Amazing."

Alfonso signaled his underlings to bring the samples. Three men walked towards them holding three black steel briefcases. They put the three briefcases on the table in front of Red Dragon and the Dark Lord.

Alfonso continued discussing to them the effect of this bio-weapon once it was used to attack people.

Alfonso: "These are some kind of nerve toxin or neurotoxin with paralyzing effect. Once it gets inside your system or body, it will also attack other organs of your body, slowly killing the victim with zero chance of survival unless they will be given the antidote."

Red Dragon: "Did you also bring the antidote?"

Dark Lord: "Yes, we also brought antidotes but it will have another price. It's more expensive than the bio-weapon itself."

Red Dragon: "More expensive than the bio-weapon itself? Why is that so?"

Alfonso and the Dark Lord exchanged meaningful glances with each other after Kelsy relayed that question to them. The reason was that they only had a limited number of antidotes. 

The scientists who were currently working with them couldn't still figure out how to produce an antidote for this bio-weapon. That's the main reason they never stopped searching for Matt Carter, the only one who could make the antidote with 99.9% success.

It was easy to make and reproduce those bio-weapons but they were having difficulty in making antidotes. Fortunately, after several years of looking for that person, finally, they found him. They would do their best to apprehend and catch him and force him to work for the Dark Knight Organization once again.

But they didn't want Red Dragon to know that fact. They couldn't afford to let another organization find out that Matt Carter exists. He was a very valuable asset for the Dark Knight Organization.

Dark Lord: "It is hard to produce antidotes than bio-weapons. As of now, we have limited supplies of antidotes that's why they are more expensive than the bio-weapon itself."

Red Dragon: "Hmm, okay. I understand. So tell me the pricing of these weapons."

Dark Lord: "Oh before that, please see these samples."

Alfonso signaled their men to open the steel briefcase to show the samples. Inside the first briefcase, there were green substances inside three transparent tubes. 

The second briefcase contained the personalized gun. It looked like a tranquilizer gun, the size of a pistol. The bullet also contained the green substance they saw in the transparent tubes.

The third briefcase contained the large rectangular bomb, in the middle, there was a glass cylinder containing the green substance.

Red Dragon couldn't help but be amazed by those weapons in front of him right now. He smiled at Alfonso and the Dark Lord, feeling very satisfied.

"Hmm, fantastic! I like all of them!"
