The Devilish Assassin Meets The Angelic Detective

Jorge sat down at the corner of his King sized bed facing Elle. He signaled her to sit down at the chair besides the bed. Elle complied and she leisurely sat down, crossed her legs while she played her dagger with her right hand. She called Charles "Bring Peter in". After a while, they heard the room opening followed by two heavy steps. Jorge burrowed his brows as he saw the persons who have just came in, it was Peter accompanied by a handsome man wearing black both are wearing black suites.

As soon as Peter saw Jorge. He immediately walked towards him and he dropped on his knees asking for forgiveness "Sorry Boss, They leave me no choice. They would kill me if I don't follow them. They kidnapped me and tortured me for two days." Peter explained his situation to Jorge in order to justify his betrayal.

Jorge just laughed mockingly at him. "Haha, You're a man surrounded by hundreds of guard but you let yourself be bullied by a girl, one girl. I am not sure if assigning you to be a branch leader was the right choice. Where did my fearless Peter Blake go?"

"Boss you don't understand how vicious this woman is. She's a lunatic craving for blood. She's a living devil." Peter cowered in fear as he avoided to look at the lady in black. Now that she was in her 'Assasin Mode', her sullen and strong aura flowed throughout the room making everyone shiver and keep a distance from her. Even Charles could sense that danger was around the corner just looking at the girl in her Assassin outfit. However he noticed that Jorge was really calm and didn't seem affected by the murderous aura coming from Elle. He needed to commend him for that.

Charles suddenly chuckled "If you are really afraid of her, how dare you insult her in front of her?" Peter was speechless as realization came to him. He turned and looked at Elle who was already staring at him intently. Those eyes were too cold that they seemed to freeze his heart. He regretted what he had said a while ago. He couldn't hide the fear in his face while looking at her. He felt his heart palpitate.

Jorge was amazed. This was the first time he saw Peter like this. He knew Peter as a ruthless and fearsome branch leader of Skull Gang but now he was seeing him weak and coward in front of this lady assassin. His curiosity about her became deeper. It's been a long time since he encountered someone like this before then a familiar figure of a man appeared in his mind. He smiled and looked at her again "I felt proud. You are a worthy opponent. It was really my pleasure to die in your hands." Jorge said as admiration and amus.e.m.e.nt was evident in his face.

Suddenly, Elle thrown the dagger in her hand towards Peter...and swoosh....it's a bulls-eye "Argh". It hit exactly at Peter's neck. Seconds later the lifeless body of Peter dropped in the floor with lots of crimson blood coming from his neck and mouth. His eyes was looking at her as if questioning her "Why?". The man said that all he needs to do is follow him and he would be saved. "Oops... I forgot to tell him that you hate noisy people so much and you tend to kill them instantly when they irritate you. Hehe", Charles spoke up as if he heard the question in Peter's mind.

Elle glared and gave him warning look that says 'Talk more and you will be the next one lying together with him'. One looked and he understood Elle so he decided to retreat. He raised both his hands while saying "Ok, I think my presence here is no longer needed. I must leave." He disappeared quickly in front of Elle.

Jorge laughed at the scene he just saw. "You really reminded me of someone." Elle raised her brow when she heard Jorge. He was really not afraid of her even though the death is knocking on his door right now. And she thought he was enjoying this. She walked towards the lifeless body of Peter and she picked up her dagger. Seeing the blood scattered in the floor, she was satisfied. "Phantom", Jorge said as he observed Elle. When she heard the word "Phantom", a shocked appeared in her eyes. She turned only to see Jorge was smiling brightly while staring at her. "

"From the expressions of yours, I guess you know him", Jorge was observing every little reaction that he could see in her face.

Elle was now standing in front of him with the dagger in her hands. She was now curious. How come he knew about Phantom? Jorge stood up and went to his study table where there was whiskey and a glass. He opened the bottle and poured some to his glass. Elle was really annoyed in the confidence that Jorge was showing her. He had the guts to drink his favorite whiskey in front of his assassin. "Don't get a wrong idea kid. I'm old man now. I understand my situation right now. I just want to enjoy my whiskey. It would be my last time drinking this, am I right?", Charles offered her a drink but she refused. Elle chuckled "How dare you call me a kid? You really amused me. Why did you mentioned Phantom?",

"You reminded me of him," he answered honestly. He continued "I hired him several times before. He was a legendary assassin. "Oh, he is just an old geezer now just like you, except that you have more money than him." Elle rebutted. She was amused to herself why she was exchanging some casual conversation with this old man.

"No one could ever tracked him down except for that one man. He likes to play cat and mouse with that man. I thought Phantom will be caught but unfortunately that man died. Then he quits because he was bored. Maybe that was one of the reasons he got you as disciple,'' He glanced at her waiting for her reaction. "Who said that I was his disciple?" she asked feeling annoyed. Jorge was getting more and more talkative now but the worst case was she was interested to what he is talking about now, about her "Master", the one who trained him to become a full-pledge assassin.

Their conversation was interrupted by the ringing of the phone. Selena was calling her father. Elle saw a warm smile appeared on his face as he looked at the caller. Jorge gave him a meaningful glance and she nodded. Jorge answered the Phone in a loud speaker. "Dad, what it takes you so long? our guests are looking for you. Come here now." Selena pleaded. " Sorry sweetheart, I think I just got upset stomach." Jorge chuckled. " Dad are you okay? I will come up now to check on you", worries evident to Selena's voice.

Jorge stop her immediately "No need, I am okay, You're the celebrant you must entertain our guests. I was about to go down. I am just doing some important business here."

"Ok Dad, We will be waiting here for you together with Mom. I love you Dad,"

" Selena....." Jorge paused " My sweetheart Happy Birthday. Always remember Dad loves you too."

" I will. Thanks Dad,". Jorge hung up the phone. Sadness appeared on his eyes but it disappeared quickly as he stared again to Elle.
