The Devilish Assassin Meets The Angelic Detective

~ At Dark Knight Organization's Headquarters ~

Alfonso kept pacing back and forth across the room. He was waiting for Kelsy's updates. The right corner of his lips was swollen. There was also a purple mark on his forehead.

The Dark Lord just vented out his frustration by throwing things he could grab inside his office. The inside of his office looked like a typhoon visited it. Broken laptops, glasses, and doc.u.ments scattered on the floor. The tables and chairs were flipped upside down.

The Dark Lord went berserk upon hearing the news that some supplies of their bio-weapons were taken by their enemy. He learned that the Skull Gang was the one responsible for attacking them after closing the deals with Red Dragon's Terrorist Group.

He also received information from Red Dragon that Skull Gang managed to retrieve the bio-weapons from their sides. Red Dragon was disappointed with the Dark Knight Organization. 

They didn't expect that another organization would give them trouble. No wonder, the Dark Night was eager to eliminate the Skull Gang through Red Dragon's help.

The Skull Gang outsmarted them once again. Good thing, they were not able to discover the Dark Lord's true identity.

After he was done venting out his frustrations, anger, and disappointments, the Dark Lord finally calmed down. He was silently sitting on his swivel chair, with his eyes close while rubbing his hands together.

The room was engulfed by deafening silence. The other high-ranking members of the Dark Knight were just sulking in the corner, afraid to make any noise and disturb their Dark Lord. They couldn't afford to piss him off further or else, they won't be leaving that room alive.

The room was air-conditioned but everyone was sweating profusely. Though the Dark Lord had finally calmed down, they could still feel a chilly and frightening aura emanating from him. They wished Snake would come to pacify their angry lord.

After a few hours of waiting, Kelsy arrived and entered the room. Black Shadow's and Kevin's operations were done. Alfonso called Kelsy several times but she's not picking up. She was stubborn. She didn't want to make a report unless she made sure that Black Shadow's life was out of danger anymore.

"What took you so long? We felt like dying here while waiting for you," Alfonso whispered as he complained right away after seeing Kelsy.

Kelsy just gave him a timid smile, telling him that he had nothing to worry. They had Black Shadow. This would compensate them, hoping that it was enough to pacify the furious Dark Lord.

There was a divider separating others from the Dark Lord. Kelsy frowned upon seeing the pale and worried expressions of everyone inside the room. She could also see that the Dark Lord cause havoc inside the room.

'Whoah, a very chilly atmosphere,' Kelsy thought to herself. Kelsy was not allowed to see the Dark Lord's true face that's why they put up some divider separating them from the Dark Lord.

But he could still hear them from the other side.

"Speak," A deep cold voice was heard. The Dark Lord wanted to hear Kelsy's report.

Alfonso signaled Kelsy to tell them her plan for their hostage. He was hoping that Kelsy had a back-up plan to resolve this. As of now, they had no idea what their enemy would try to do with the bio-weapons they stole from them.

They couldn't afford to receive another surprise attack from them. They should retaliate and do a counterattack soon. The Skull Gang was really a pain in the ass of the Dark Knight. They kept attacking them and causing more losses.

"Our Dark Lord, forgive me for being late. I just made sure that our hostage's life would not be in danger anymore. We need him alive." Kelsy apologized to the Dark Lord first.

"He's Black Shadow. He is a former member of the Assassin Guild, our comrade. Now he is working under the Skull Gang. I worked with him for so many years when he was still part of the Assassin Guild." She informed the Dark Lord, reassuring him that she knew the person very well.

"I'm not interested in your relationship with him or about his past organization. I want to know how we can solve this issue by letting him live. Give me a good reason or else I will go there right now and kill that guy. I'm dying and craving to kill someone tonight!"

Kelsy felt alarmed upon hearing that. But she maintained her composure. She needed to convince the Dark Lord to save Black Shadow's life.

"Once he wakes up, I will talk to him personally. I will convince him to side with us and work for us. I know you can pay him double or more than the payment he is receiving from the Skull Gang." Kelsy started to present her plan to the Dark Lord.

"He is very useful for us. After working with the Skull Gang, he knew very well how they operate. We can use the information from him to attack the Skull Gang. He knows their weakness as well as their plans. We can use him to our advantage." Kelsy was pointing out Black Shadow's importance.

This was the only way the Dark Lord would stop thinking of killing him after what he had done tonight. Black Shadow killed a lot of members of the Dark knight Organizations tonight. The dark Lord won't be merciful towards him.

"How sure are you that he will agree to that? What if he is loyal to the Skull Gang? He might use this opportunity against us. He might try to escape from here," The Dark Lord was considering the loopholes of this plan.

"I will make him agree no matter what. He's my old friend. I hope he would work with us once again. Besides, he has no choice. If he will not betray the Skull Gang then his life will be in peril. You can kill him anytime once he refuses." Kelsy reassured the dark Lord.

"Well, you have your point. Then try to convince him. I will give you a deadline. If he will not agree then I will kill him myself. Oh, might as well torture him before killing him."

"Do as you wish, my lord," Kelsy said. She felt relieved when the Dark Lord listened to her proposal. Now she only needed to convince Black Shadow to cooperate with them.
