The Devilish Assassin Meets The Angelic Detective

There were approximately twenty Dark Knight men who were still in the middle deck together with the Azumi Twins. Shock and horror were visible to their faces when they saw the dead bodies of their comrades.

Kevin and Kelsy had grim expressions as they peered at their surroundings. They looked up while searching for the hiding spots of the snipers.

Elle was still wearing the white uniform of a crew matching with a cap and a mask. Since the lights in the middle were restored she removed her infrared goggles. In her hands, she was holding her sniper's rifle while looking at the remaining Dark Knight's men and the Azumi Twins.

She contacted Phantom.

"Master, are you done installing the code B?" 

"Yes, dear. You can now activate those Code B at any moment." Phantom replied to her with his hoarse voice.

Unknown to Elle, Phantom was still sick and he was feeling weak as of this moment. Despite that, he was able to accomplish his task: planting code B in the different parts of the ship.

"Thank you, Master. I only have one thing left to do." Elle's lips curled up into a wicked smile after saying that.

"Ok dear, I'm on my way going there. Be careful." Phantom reminded her. 

"Don't worry Master. I can handle this. Brother Yu is also here with me." Elle reassured him.

"Alright. Wait for me. I'm coming."

After her talk with Phantom, Elle focused her attention back to the Azumi Twins.

Meanwhile, Kelsy and Kevin already discovered Elle's hiding spot. They were very observant as they were able to sense her presence.

"We know you are there. Why don't you come out now and show us your face?" Kevin said as he stared in Elle's direction.

The men also pointed their guns in her direction.

"Lady Boss, they already discovered your position. Leave now. Leave them to me." Brother Yu said through the communication device.

"Don't worry, Master Phantom is on his way going here. I still have something to say with the Azumi Twins. I promised someone that I will give them a good beating once we face each other." Elle said meaningfully at Brother Yu.

After saying that Elle came out from her hiding spot to face the Azumi Twins. Kelsy and Kevin looked at her confusedly.

'A woman?!'

They couldn't believe that the figure hiding was a woman. Even though they couldn't see her face still they could tell base on her appearance that the person was a woman.

"Who are you? All your comrades already ran away to escape. How come you are still here? Are you planning to catch us? Do you think you can do it alone? Or are you the sacrificial lamb?" Kelsy said to her mockingly.

The other men stayed alert and vigilant as they pointed their guns at the person who just appeared in front of them.

"We have to commend you for successfully infiltrating the Ship. You even wear a crew uniform in order to blend inside. Smart move!" Kelsy added as she praised her.

Elle finally broke her silence.

"My dear Azumi Twins… I stay behind in order to give you a good beating. Someone named Black Shadow requested me to do this." Elle said as she let out a soft chuckle after uttering those words.

The faces of the twins immediately darkened upon hearing her statements, most especially the name 'Black Shadow'.

"Who are you? What is your relationship with Black Shadow? How come you know him?" It was Kelsy who bombarded her with those questions.

She would always become interested in the things related to Black Shadow. As a girl, Elle could feel it. Kelsy had a thing for Black Shadow. With that, Elle couldn't help but raise her eyebrows.

"Kelsy Azumi. You are the kind of woman who doesn't know how to be content with one man. How dare you try to flirt with Erick." Elle said using her stern cold voice. Disp.l.e.a.s.u.r.e was evident to her voice.

Kelsy giggled after hearing that.

"Oh… are you mad because of that? Do you have the right? Why do I feel like you're also very interested in the Chief Detective?"

Elle just ignored Kelsy's remarks. She would not allow her to laugh at her. She somehow knew how to attack Kelsy in her weak spot.

"Tsk Tsk Tsk… you tend to betray and deceive people. No wonder Black Shadow didn't hesitate to do the same thing against you." Elle said to Kelsy, taunting her.

A deep frown appeared on Kevin's face while the smile on Kelsy's face immediately disappeared after hearing that.

'What is she trying to say here? Black Shadow betraying me?'

"Are you trying to stir conflict between Black Shadow and Azumi Twins? Nice try dear. But sorry to say, you just failed" Kelsy sneered at her.

Now it was Elle's turn to burst into a peal of laughter.

"Oh… I should really give credit to Black Shadow. It looks like he really gained your trust. Tsk tsk tsk. Poor Kelsy. I pity you. You don't have any idea that the man you trusted already betray you. Well, I couldn't blame black… since you've done really evil things even to him."

Elle wanted to provoke and anger Kelsy. It seemed that her provocation was effective as Kelsy's face could no longer be painted because of her grim expression. 

Elle was rejoicing inwardly. She wanted to get even at her after Kelsy tried to flirt with Erick a while ago. She was still fuming in rage until now.

"Don't beat around the bush. Why don't you spill it out already? What did Black Shadow do behind our back?" Kevin couldn't stand still as he voiced out his annoyance.

Elle let out another chuckle.

"Alright. Let me introduce myself so that you will be enlightened. I am Catseye, the real Catseye."

Everyone was taken aback. They didn't expect her to say that.

"Catseye? Is she kidding us?" One of the men blurted out.

They couldn't believe what they had just heard. This woman in front of them was claiming that she was the real Catseye.

"Hahaha. Are you trying to make us laugh with your ridiculous joke?" Kelsy said to her sarcastically.

"Catseye my a*s!" she added.

Kevin looked at Elle intently, eyeing her appearance from top to bottom. He couldn't explain but he could sense the domineering and frightening aura emanating from the woman.

He could tell that she was no ordinary woman. He wanted to believe her. She possessed the kind of aura that Catseye had. He didn't feel this when he looked at the man in black a while ago.

Meanwhile, Brother Yu was also shocked when he heard that. He had no idea that their Lady Boss was Catseye, the devilish assassin. They heard a lot of things about Catseye's reputation. If this was true then his admiration for their Lady Boss intensified.

'Lu will be shocked once he learned about this revelation. I am sure he will see Lady Boss in another perspective, admiring and idolizing her to the max.' Brother Yu thought to himself.

It did not take long when Elle spoke up again.

"Do you want more proof? Are you not wondering why I am always mentioning Black Shadow? Do you think he would tell me these things if I was a policewoman?"

Elle was enjoying the denial and confusion that Kelsy was feeling right now. She thought it would be a huge blow to her knowing that Black Shadow had betrayed her. This was nice revenge.

"He lied to you when he said that Catseye was a man. Haha, Funny thing. He considered me as his enemy, but after you betrayed and deceived him, he came to me and gave me a warning. He even helped me hide my true identity to the Azumi Twins. This was your fault."

"Oh… he is a prideful man, so he did that to give you a taste of your own medicine. So how does it feel to be deceived? Oh… I think Black was furious when you hurt Agent Marie."

Kelsy clenched her fists. She felt hurt and mad at the same time.

'Black Shadow lied to me because of that b!tch!'

On the other hand, Kevin had already grasped the situation. He was really convinced that the one talking to them right now was Catseye. And Black Shadow really deceived them as an act of revenge.

Kevin burst into humorless laughter as he looked daggers at Elle.

"I don't care even if Black Shadow betrayed us. Catseye, you've made one mistake tonight. You already had the chance to escape but still, you stayed behind to confront us. Remember, it is you who we are after. Now, you will die here tonight!

Without waiting for Elle to respond, Kevin fired his gun towards Elle's direction.
