The Devilish Assassin Meets The Angelic Detective

The news regarding Catseye's comeback spread fast across the country like a raging wildfire in a forest just a few minutes after Morning Star Media Network released the live broadcast done by Sandy at the crime scene.

It also became the number one trending topic on the internet. Who would have thought the Catseye who died at South Carolina's coast two years ago would suddenly appear, killing another victim in a very brutal and merciless way.

The country, as well as the underground world, was shaken once again. It caught a lot of attention and garnered different reactions from everyone. 

Some people were shocked and frightened. There were some who couldn't believe it. 

How could a person who died just rise up again from the dead? 

Was Catseye a true devil? 

Did Catseye really possess nine lives like a cat? 

How could this be possible? 

Is someone just imitating Catseye?

But the real cause of their panic, uneasiness, and fear was the message left by Catseye.

[ CATSEYE IS BACK TO COLLECT SOME DEBTS! THE DEVIL IS COMING YOUR WAY! ]

What debt was she referring to? Revenge for what? For killing her two years ago? 

The devil is coming your way! Who was Catseye talking about here? Who would be Casteye's next target? Her enemies? Dark Knight Organization? Assassin Guild? Azumi Twins?

No one knew the exact answer.

This piece of news brought unrest to the members of the Assassin Guild. Everyone was aware that the Azumi Twins were involved in the incident at South Carolina's coast two years ago.

They were afraid that Catseye would try to infiltrate their headquarters once again and this time she would not hesitate to plant bombs, making them explode for real. 

Because of this thought, the members of the Assassin Guild decided not to stay around in their headquarters nor gather together in one place. This served as a precautionary measure to ensure their safety and avoid being trapped in a surprise attack.

On the other hand, the higher-ups of the Dark Knight Organization were enraged upon hearing the news. They lost billions of money two years ago just for the sake of killing Catseye. And now, they heard the news of Catseye being alive and planning to get revenge. Who would be happy about this?

They couldn't afford to have another dangerous enemy right now since they were still undergoing a war against Skull Gang.

The higher-ups of the Dark Knight summoned all the members who were involved during the last encounter with Catseye at South Carolina's coast including the Azumi Twins. 

They needed an explanation from them to clarify this issue. They were the ones who attested that Catseye died two years ago. So what was the meaning of this? Someone appeared claiming that he or she was Catseye.

They should solve this mystery as soon as possible before the Dark Lord would punish them for their incapability to handle one mere assassin. 

They could never forget how the Dark Lord became furious after knowing that they wasted a lot of resources just to target one assassin. Everyone suffered from his wrath after that. They got punished severely. They didn't want that to happen again.

Meanwhile, Kevin Azumi had also watched the news. The name Catseye whenever mentioned to him would bring unpleasant memories in the past. He couldn't help boiling with fury.

Catseye was the one who injured his right eye and because of that, he lost his sight. He was dying to get revenge but since Catseye already died two years ago he couldn't do it.

And now, he was glad that Catseye was back and alive. He had some score to settle with her. He wouldn't waste this second chance. This time he would be the one to give her a painful death.

"You should have stayed in hiding and lived quietly, Catseye. You've made another mistake. Are you declaring war with us once again?" Kevin mumbled through gritted teeth. His eyes were fixed on the television.

The news about Catseye's comeback also reached someone who was a million miles away from City Z.

In one of the Hospital's VIP wards, a man in his black suit was talking to Dr. Argus when his assistant approached them, holding a tablet in his arms.

"Supremo... Apology for disrupting your discussion, but you have to see this." His assistant told him with urgency in his voice.

Supremo accepted the tablet from his assistant. His eyes darkened and his brows were drawn together in a deep frown after reading the news article about Catseye flashed on the tablet's screen. 

Dr. Argus also took a peek on the tablet, satisfying his curiosity. Supremo's assistant looked very restless and nervous the moment he felt the chilly aura emanating from his boss.

"I-I think… the Queen is in trouble right now. Someone is using her alias." His assistant could no longer hold his tongue. He tended to speak too much whenever he was anxious.

Supremo just shot him a cold stare saying 'You don't need to tell me the things that I already know.'

Suddenly, Dr. Argus burst out laughing. 

"You are really protective of your queen. Why don't you follow her there? Why are you still here, lurking around in this hospital?" He said, giving Supremo a teasing look.

"She gave me the responsibility to save that man. I wouldn't stay here if you are doing your job well." Supremo spat back at Dr. Argus.

"When will you finish creating the antidotes? We still need that to ensure that her life won't be in danger anymore," he added.

Supremo's assistant suppressed the urge to laugh. Dr. Argus was tongue-tied just like that. He had no way to refute Supremo's statement. They failed to produce the antidotes over and over again.

Just yesterday, they injected the newly created antidote to their VIP patient. However, the result was negative. The patient went to shock. Fortunately, they were able to stabilize his condition after.

Supremo called Elle immediately to inform her. That's the reason why Elle suddenly left the party in a hurry. She went home and did a video call with him.

Supremo didn't waste his time as he left the hospital immediately together with his assistant, heading back to their headquarters.

After reaching his office, he picked up a small box inside his drawer. He handed it over to his assistant.

"Send this to Sherlock. He knows what to do with it. Give all background information about Aliyah Ross to those people who are trying to investigate her identity." Supremo commanded his assistant.

"Understood, Supremo." The assistant accepted the small box. He knew that Supremo's order would always for the sake of their Queen.

"Do you need anything more, Supremo?" he added.

Supremo fell silent for a moment. He quietly sat down, leaning his back on his chair. He just closed his eyes. He did that to conceal the complicated emotions reflecting in his eyes.

His assistant thought it was his cue of dismissing him. So he turned to leave. But the moment he reached the door he heard Supremo's voice.

"Call Ashton. Tell him to see me today for my final instruction. I already informed him that I would leave everything here in his care for the meantime. I will go to City Z. Stay here with Ashton. Assist him."

His assistant was taken back after hearing that. He really listened to Dr. Argus's suggestion. He would follow their Queen.

"Noted, Supremo!"
