The Devilish Assassin Meets The Angelic Detective

Kelsy brought Black Shadow to the Dark Lord. She was the one who was pushing his wheelchair. It was not advisable to walk yet on his two feet because his one leg was injured.

He was in a foul mood as of this moment. He was very quiet and he chose not to talk to Kelsy. He hated her for doing what she did to him a while ago. Kelsy kissed and forced herself into him even if he didn't want it.

'Damn!' Black Shadow was still cursing himself for responding to her in the last seconds.

After a few minutes, they arrived at the Dark Lord's office. There were still bodyguards scattered inside. Alfonso Ramirez was also present. Compared to yesterday, the Dark Lord's office was now neat and clean as if he didn't go berserk, flipping and breaking everything inside his office.

The Dark Lord was sitting on his chair, hiding from behind the division that looked like a curtain.

"They are here, my lord," one of the guards spoke up to inform the Dark Lord.

Black Shadow was on high alert, peering at his surrounding. He was already thinking about his next move. He already made up his mind, no one would be able to convince him and change his mind.

"So, this is the infamous Black Shadow," A deep intimidating voice of a man was heard. The dark Lord could still see Black Shadow through the monitor of his computer. The CCTV inside his office was connected to his computer.

Black Shadow sneered upon hearing the Dark Lord's voice. "It's my great pleasure to hear the voice of the most mysterious supreme leader of the Dark Knight Organization."

"Why don't you let me see your face as well?" Black Shadow responded mockingly, not afraid of the consequence he might face once he offended the Dark Lord.

Kelsy squeezed his shoulder to give him a warning, telling Black Shadow to behave. But Black Shadow didn't care.

"Heh, you still have the guts to talk like that to our Dark Lord. Did you forget that you are inside our territory? We can kill you anytime. Please show some respect." Alfonso raised his voice at Black Shadow.

Black Shadow just shrugged his shoulders, provoking Alfonso further.

"Black… Black… Black…" They saw the Dark Lord's silhouette standing up from the other side. It seemed like he turned to his office's window and peered outside.

"Have you decided already? I'm curious to know… will you choose to live or die tonight? I'm waiting for your answer." The Dark Lord raised the gun in his hand, showing his intent to kill Black Shadow and threatening him.

"Oh, I'm here to negotiate. But before that, can you remove these handcuffs? My hands are hurting already." Black Shadow demanded.

Alfonso glared at him. "Do you take us as a fool? What if you tried to do something once we removed your handcuffs."

Black Shadow's laughter reverberated in the entire office. "Are you dumb? What's your name again?"

"Oh, it's Alfonso. Just a piece of information for you since you want information from me. Alfonso Ramirez, get ready! Because you are the next target of the new Catseye. Hahaha."

Thud!

Alfonso lost his patience. Black Shadow was an annoying fellow and he could no longer tolerate him so he punched him hard on the face. Black Shadow was still smiling as he wiped the blood from the corner of her lips. It was a hard punch.

"Black, behave!" Kelsy reprimanded him.

"Why? I'm just telling the truth. Oh regarding my handcuffs, are you afraid of an injured man like me? Armed bodyguards are scattered here. An elite member of the Assassin Guild is also here. Why are you afraid of removing my handcuffs. Alfonso, don't tell you are just a coward."

"You-" Alfonso was about to argue with him when suddenly they heard the stern voice of the Dark Lord.

"Stop this nonsense already. Go and remove his handcuffs so that we can proceed now to our proper business," The Dark Lord gave them his command.

With that, Kelsy removed Black Shadow's handcuffs. Black rubbed his wrists. He was rejoicing inside. With his hands not bound by handcuffs, he could implement his plan.

He already made up his mind, either he would kill Alfonso or kill the Dark Lord. There was no turning back now. He didn't want to betray the Skull Gang. Since he would die tonight, might as well bring with him either one of them in hell.

If he was the sacrificial lamb, then he already accepted it. Betraying his comrade and putting them in great danger just to save himself was not worth it. It would only look that he was still the old Black Shadow just like before.

He was no longer the selfish Black Shadow. He was still doing a simulation in his mind of how he would launch a surprise attack when the Dark Lord spoke up once again.

"Give me information about the plan of the Skull Gang against the Dark knight Organization, then I will spare your life. What are they planning to do with the bio-weapons they stole from us?"

A smug smile crept on Black Shadow's face. He was ready to do suicide now. He would try to steal the gun from the bodyguard standing next to Alfonso. Once he succeeded, he would shot Alfonso first before the Dark Lord since he didn't know if the division had a bulletproof screen or not.

He was counting one up to three when suddenly Alfonso's phone rang. He stood up and excuse himself for a while.

Black Shadow cursed when Alfonso left. His target just disappeared. He had no choice but to delay things as he waited for Alfonso to come back.

"I didn't know what they are planning with those things. All I know is that they just want to sabotage every operation you have," Black Shadow responded but the Dark Lord was not easy to fool.

He could somehow guess that Black Shadow had no plan to cooperate with them.

A burst of sinister laughter bubbled in the room. "Black Shadow, I'm not a patient guy. Wrong answer, my dear! I don't want to waste my time here and it seems that you are not giving me a satisfying answer. I'm done playing around. Now… die in my hands!"

The Dark Lord pointed his gun in Black Shadow's direction. This meant there was no bulletproof screen in between the partition.

Kelsy's eyes widened in horror. It's too late now. The Dark Lord was so determined to kill Black Shadow. Even Black became tensed and unsettled. 'Damn. Is this my end now? I'm gonna die.'

He was waiting for the bullet to pierce his head but suddenly Alfonso came rushing inside the room. His urgent action caught the attention of everyone inside the room.

"My Dear Dark Lord, stop! Don't kill him!" Alfonso stood in front of Black Shadow, shielding him from the Dark Lord's bullet.

Kelsy and Black Shadow looked at Alfonso in confusion. The Dark Lord didn't pull the trigger as he put his hand down.

"Why, Alfonso?"

"The Supremo of the Skull Gang, he is on the other line right now! He wanted to talk to you and negotiate!" Alfonso informed the Dark Lord as he raised his phone in his hand.
