The Devilish Assassin Meets The Angelic Detective

Elle was just observing on the other side of the road as the man opened the car from the driver's side. She could now see James Arison clearly. His head was bleeding.

It was caused by the impact of the crash. He either bumped his head or some broken crystals of the car windshield hit him. He was wounded and it seemed like James Arison was about to get killed by this gunman.

Elle was thinking whether to turn a blindeye on this and just go on with her plan to buy the ingredients for their cooking session or to interfere and save James Arison from getting killed today.

A smile appeared on her beautiful face as she weighed up the pros and cons of her action before she decides of what to do in this kind of situation.

If James Arison die today, Skull Gang would just appoint another leader and they might forget about Catseye and stop hunting her down. It was a good thing for her. One of her enemies would just disappeared.

But on the other sides, if she let James Arison survive today she thought that there is nothing wrong in making one of her enemies be indebted to her. If she save him right now it might be useful to her in the future. It would also be a win-win situation for her.

After contemplating for a minute, Elle arrived in one condition.

Meanwhile, on James Arison's side, he hadn't recovered yet from the impact of the crash. He didn't expected that he would be put in this very bad situation right now. He was just finished having a date and he was unaware that someone was following him.

He was talking on the phone with one of his business partner when the black sedan cut him off in the front. Since it was very sudden so he acted on his impulse to avoid bumping the car in front however he didn't notice the post on the other side, so instead, his car crashed on the post.

He regretted that he didn't bring his assistant and his righthand man Spike. He saw the driver of the black sedan came out of the car and now walking towards his direction. The man was holding the gun.

James was now feeling weak and was about to lose consciousness. The man opened his car door.

"It's payback time Leader of Skull Gang! An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth." the man said to him. A sinister smile appeared on his face. He was now pointing the gun at James.

"F*ck, am I going to die today!" James was now cursing inside. It was too late to move. He couldn't get his gun on time and he already felt really weak right now.

"Adios my friend!" the man said to him before he pulled the trigger. James just closed his eyes waiting for the bullet to hit him. However seconds passed but the sound of a gun being fired was never heard.

James frown and he slowly opened his eyes and the face of a beautiful lady with dark alluring eyes, staring at him with her lips curled up appeared on his sight. For him, her smile shined like a light turning on in the dark.

'Am I already in heaven?' James thought to himself before he lose his consciousness and finally collapsed.

At the Hospital....

Elle was now standing beside the hospital bed where James was lying down. He just woke up. Even though he bled a lot but it was just normal since head often bleed heavily.

It might be alarming but it was not severe injury. He only had minor cuts in the head and concussion that caused him to lose consciousness.

Elle wanted to leave when James was still unconscious but the doctor asked her to stay while his guardian have not yet arrived. So she just used her hacker's ability to access his phone and unlock his password in order to inform one of his family so that she could leave already.

Since James was now awake Elle planned to leave already. James was now staring intently at the girl who just save him. He assumed that the girl in front of him has an ordinary background because of the way she dressed.

She was wearing a white tshirt which was tucked into her high-waisted blue jeans, paired with her white rubber shoes. She wore simple clothes but it didn't make her less attractive instead it complimented her more.

"Since you are now awake. I have to go now." Elle spoke up first.

"I should give you a reward. How much do you want from saving my life?" James ignored what she said and offered her a reward.

'Hmm so arrogant.' Elle thought to himself.

"Just give me two hundred."

"Two hundred what? Two hundred million?."

"No, just only two hundred. I paid two hundred to taxi in bringing you here. But you can also include my fare going back to my workplace. I have to go now. My boss is waiting for me."

James grabbed her arms to stop her from leaving.

"Let go of my hand." Elle ordered him, sounded displeased.

"No one dared to turn her back on me while I am still talking to her."

Elle started to feel impatient just talking to this egocentric person.

"I repeat... let go of my hand. I don't give a damn even if you are the president of this country so please don't waste my time here. Saving you is enough already."

"Why are you mad at me?"

"I hate people who are so arrogant and full of themselves."

James let out a chuckle feeling so amused with her.

'This girl is very straightforward.'

"I am sorry. I didn't mean to offend you." James apologized to her as he let go of her hand.

Elle was about to respond when suddenly Selena arrived and ran towards her brother while calling him. Spike was following her behind. They rushed as soon as they heard the news about what happened to James.

"Brother!"

'Oh here comes another nuisance.' Elle thought to herself.

"Brother are you okay? What happened to you? Who did this? Is it Catseye?"

'Why am I the one being blame here? If I did that, your brother won't be breathing right now. He will be dead already! I am the one who saved him.'

"No it was not Catseye." James knew that the people who attacked him was accomplice of Mr. Chen. They targeted him since they believe that Skull Gang was responsible in the death of Mr. Chen.

"Oh ,who is she?" Selena asked him as she noticed the presence of a lovely lady on the side.

"I don't know her name yet but she is my savior." James replied.

A light flashed in Selena's eyes. She was happy to know that her brother was saved by her. Now she wanted to befriend her. She extended her hand and introduced herself to Elle.

"Hello! I am Selena Arison. Thank you for saving my brother." Selena said to her as she extended her hand for a shakehand.

She accepted it and smiled at her. "I'm Elle. I just did what I think was the right thing to do that time. I am sorry Miss Selena but I have to go now."

Elle turned to James. "Mr. Arro.... I mean Arison, just keep the reward for me. I will tell you what I want when the right time comes so make sure to grant me my reward when I need it." Elle gave him a wink before turning around and left.

The siblings didn't see the sly smile that appeared on Elle's face.

A smirk appeared on James handsome face as he stared at the retreating back of that amusing girl he just met today.

"Hmm Well, what is that smile all about my dearest brother?" Selena asked him with her eyebrows raised as she noticed how her brother was looking at Elle.

James just chuckled. "My dear sister can you talk to the doctor first. I want to leave this hospital right now." James asked her to do that because he needed to be alone with Spike.

Selena complied with his request. Now Spike and James were left alone together.

"Spike, follow her and find out where she is working then come back after that. I have another task for you." James ordered. Spike nodded and left the hospital immediately to follow Elle.
