The Devilish Assassin Meets The Angelic Detective

Erick and the other teams started to make a move. The sound of the gunshots outside could also be heard in the hall where Mr. Carter, Alfonso, and Senator Mondragon were gathered.

The Dark Lord's elite guards were alerted. They had to secure the safety of Senator Mondragon at all costs.

"Escort the Dark Lord to the safe place. We need to leave now," The Leader of the guards commanded his team.

It did not take long when the entrance door of the hall swung open and Erick and Phantom together with Brother Yan and Brother Yu entered the hall.

The exchange of gunshots between the two opposing sides started. The guards took cover for the Dark Lord so that they could leave from the other door.

"Erick? What is he doing here? I thought he was dead. Snake told me he eliminated him already. Does it mean… even Snake had betrayed me?" Senator Mondragon said through his gritted teeth. The disbelief was written over his face.

"Our Lord, let's move now!" The guard said, guiding him to the exit door.

Senator Mondragon didn't waste more time as they left the hall immediately, avoiding Erick's team.

Meanwhile, Alfonso and Mr. Carter who were both being restrained by the other guards were able to escape when Erick and Phantom shot those guards. 

Because of that, Alfonso got the opportunity to flee, leaving the hall using the door used by the Dark Lord and the other guards.

Erick made sure that Mr. Carter was safe. While Phantom went to catch Alfonso. Brother Yan and Brother Yu were the ones chasing after the Dark Lord and his guards.

"Mr. Carter, are you alright?" Erick asked him worriedly.

"Yes, I think we succeeded. The public must have known now the true color of Senator Mondragon. Do you have any updates from the other teams?" Mr. Carter asked Erick expectantly.

"Bryan told me that the video was successfully being shown on National TV with the help of Elle's friend Sandy. They saw it. But it got disconnected when the Dark Lord broke your eyeglass." Erick informed him.

"That's our cue to make a move here. The other team infiltrated the Bio-weapon Lab and captured some videos as well. It was shown on the TV as well," Erick added.

"Now, everyone is on the move. The enemies had been alerted about our presence here. Come with me. I will bring you to a safe place first before joining the other team," Erick asked Mr. Carter to follow him.

Erick wanted to ensure Mr. Carter's safety first. They left the hall immediately. While they were on the move, Erick received a message from Bryan. They were communicating through the communication device.

Bryan: "Erick, we are on the way now to provide support. The members of the National Security joined us. We will be there in ten minutes."

Erick: "Okay. We will wait for you. The Dark Lord and Alfonso escaped. Father, I mean Phantom's team is chasing after them now."

Bryan: "Got it. We will block the exit."

The two of them were still talking when they heard another voice. 

"Erick… please be careful." The person who spoke was Elle.

"Little Lee and I will be waiting for you. I love you," Elle added. Her voice filled with worries and concerns for the team, most especially Erick.

Erick smiled tenderly after hearing Elle's voice. He was now eager to finish this mission so that he could come back now to his wife.

"I love you more. Just wait a little bit, wifey. We will all go home safe." Erick reassured her.

"Yes, please do it. Come back, safe and sound."

After talking to Elle, Erick and Mr. Carter continued moving. They were in the enemy's territory. Lots of enemies around them so they had to move cautiously.

Sherlock: "Chief Lee… My team and I already secured the entrance gate. You can bring Mr. Carter here."

Erick: "Ok, Josh. Got it! We are coming!"

After a few minutes, Erick and Mr. Carter reached the main gate. They saw Sherlock and three Skull Gang Members standing on guard in the control room of the gate.

The previous guards were now lying on the ground, dead. 

"Josh, I will leave Mr. Carter in your care. Bryan and the back-ups from the National Security are now on the way. Warn the others. Once we secure this place, you and others should leave without being noticed by them." Erick instructed him.

"Noted, Chief Lee. I will tell others. Spike's team was still fighting the other Dark Knight Members." Josh, aka Sherlock, responded to him.

After giving the last instructions, Erick went in again to search for Phantom and others. The Dark Lord hadn't left the facility yet. Sherlock had secured the control room of the gates. The Dark Lord won't be able to leave the place easily.

Bryan's team was also coming together with the National Security team. They would block all the exits. The Dark Lord would have difficulty escaping now.

Unknown to them, the Dark Lord had anticipated this move. So he summoned his other men to send more men to the facility. He also summoned his pilot to fetch him. They would use a helicopter to escape since the entrance and exit were now under the control of Sherlock's team.

The chase continued. This time Phantom was able to catch up with Alfonso. He cornered him in one of the rooms. He tried to hide but he forgot to remove the tracking device planted on him by Erick and Phantom.

"Where do you think you are going, Alfonso? I'm not yet done with you." Phantom said with his stern cold voice.

His eyes were bloodshot as he looked daggers at him. Phantom's lips curled up into a sly smile while facing Alfonso.

"You said you would let me go after cooperating with you! Why are you still following me? You came here for the Dark Lord. Go and catch him!" Alfonso shamelessly said to Phantom.

Phantom let out a burst of sinister laughter that made Alfonso cringe in fear.

"Erick will take care of him. But for me… I have to take care of you… "

"There's something I want to ask you. You were the last person who saw my wife and son alive." Phantom's eyes were burning with rage and hatred as he said those words to Alfonso.
