The Devilish Assassin Meets The Angelic Detective

"It's about Agent Allen. His body was found this morning..." Officer Kim said that shook the whole team.

Everyone was both shocked and terrified when they heard that. The office was engulfed by a deafening silence. They were all shaken up by that piece of bad news.

Both Carl and Erick didn't know what to feel at that moment. They were the last people Allen tried to contact last night but they failed to answer the call. He might be asking for help.

"Officer Kim… what do you mean you found his body? Don't tell us… A-Allen… d-died?" Rose asked Officer Kim with her trembling voice. She was consumed by guilt. Just yesterday she kept on thinking that maybe Allen was the traitor among the team.

"Oh, I'm sorry about the term I use. I mean we found his injured body this morning. He was badly hurt. He was barely breathing. The officer who found him immediately rushed him into the hospital." Officer Kim clarified his first statement.

"What happened to him. Where did you find him?" Erick asked officer Kim worriedly. He was restless since last night. It seemed that his hunch wasn't wrong. Something bad happened to Allen.

"My men are still investigating. I dropped by because I knew no one among you was informed about this. He had an injury on his head. I think it is a severe one. Someone hit him with a hard object on his head. His unconscious body was found two blocks near the newly built Casino here in City Z, MDC casino."

"We brought him to Dr. Gomez's hospital. It was the nearest hospital in that area. He was still in the operating room as of this moment," Officer Kim added.

"Ok, I will go and visit him," Erick mumbled before turning to Rose, June, and Carl. "Can I leave everything here in your care for now? Let me know if something important comes up."

"Okay Chief. Go and check Allen's condition first. Don't worry about things here in the office. Just leave this matter to us," June promptly responded.

Rose was still shaken by what happened to Allen. Carl couldn't focus as well. Allen was his best friend. "Chief, can I go with you? I somehow feel responsible for this. If I just answered his call last night I think this will not happen to him. I should have saved him."

Erick could understand Carl's feelings. Even he, himself, was blaming himself for not able to do anything for Allen. That call last night might be an S.O.S call. With that thought in mind, Erick let Carl accompany him from going to the hospital.

They wondered who did this to Allen. They had a lot of questions running into their minds right now. What Allen was doing near the casino? The two men made up their minds. After visiting Allen in the hospital, they would go and see the crime scene.

They would also help in the investigation. They would also check whether Allen entered the Casino or not. Erick wanted to know if this incident was related to the current case they were handling or Allen just offended someone from the Casino like a gang and others.

Meanwhile, Elle together with Phantom and Mr. Carter went to Skull Gang Headquarters. Since James already passed the Chairmanship of the Arison Holdings and Mining Company to Selena, he had more time to focus on Skull Gang's operations.

Today, they would finalize their plan about rescuing Black Shadow. Phantom, Elle, and James also brought Mr. Carter to the truck where the supply of bio-weapons was being kept at the moment. Elle gave James a short overview of what happened to Mr. Carter and his real identity.

"Wait, this is dangerous. Are you planning to give these bio-weapons back to the Dark Knight Organization?" Mr. Carter asked both James and Elle in disbelief.

"Yes, we have to. In order to save our friend and comrade," It was James who spoke up.

"We can't take the sample. They know how many bio-weapons are there inside this truck," Elle informed Mr. Carter.

Mr. Carter fell silent for a moment, rubbing his chin while thinking hard about what to do.

"The Dark Knight is very sneaky and sly. We have to be careful. They might be preparing something for the upcoming exchange," James shared his thoughts with them.

"Don't worry, my men are experts in handling this kind of situation. Besides, I will also join this mission," Phantom finally spoke up, reassuring them.

Elle giggled after hearing the very confident and positive statement of Phantom. "Yeah, I can attest to that. My brothers are amazing. But my father is the best."

Because of her statement, Phantom's mood was lifted up a little bit. He was feeling down and depressed since yesterday. He couldn't stop thinking about his wife and son. He blamed himself for everything. But thanks to Elle, he was comforted.

She told him that instead of blaming themselves for being powerless at those times, why not focus on what they could do now? So the four of them who were victims of the Dark Knight, They were all here, trying to figure out how to bring down that evil organization.

After a while, they heard Mr. Carter's laughter. "Hmm, if they are sneaky and sly then we just have to be sneakier and smarter than them."

Phantom, James, and Elle averted their gaze at Mr. Carter. All of them gave him a questioning gaze.

Mr. Carter smiled at them meaningfully before saying, "I think I know what to do now with these bio-weapons. We still have 24 hours left before the exchange will happen, right?"

Elle and James exchanged glances with one another before nodding at him.

"Okay. Supremo… can you help me? I need some materials. I hope you could provide me those materials. Then I will give the Dark Lord a great surprise once he receives this package."Find authorized novels in , faster updates, better experience, Please click /book/the-devilish-assassin-meets-the-angelic-detective_15596023506141605/chapter-484-a-surprise-for-the-dark-lord_50813504508192355 for visiting.

"Yeah, I can do that. Just tell me everything you need. I will mobilize my entire gang to get those materials for you." James responded immediately.

Elle couldn't help but smile. It seemed like Mr. Carter had a brilliant idea for surprising the Dark Lord.
