The Devilish Assassin Meets The Angelic Detective - Volume 2: Their Paths Cross Again Chapter 462 462: Emergency Situation
James together with Phantom’s henchmen was already waiting for Spike and Sherlock in the headquarters. They heard the bad news about Black Shadow.
They were supposed to celebrate tonight for securing some supplies of Bio-weapons. They could use this as proof that a bio-weapon facility was operating here in the country.
But now, the headquarters was engulfed by a gloomy atmosphere. Even Charles got injured and he was now being sent to Dr. Clara’s clinic.
Unlike the Dark Knight Organization, the Skull Gang was more considerate of their members. So for the Dark Knight even if one high ranking member would be taken hostage by their enemies, they wouldn’t care like this.
James also changed after meeting Catseye. He amended some rules in the organization. He stopped some operations like human trafficking and prostitution.
He also focused on attacking the Dark Knight Organization’s operation. Aside from that, he continued doing good deeds by supporting charity organizations.
Since the Leader was a changed man and so his followers as well. Now, they cared about Black Shadow’s safety.
They started valuing their members’ lives and well-being, unlike before.
Brother Yu and Brother Yan could feel the tension and heavy atmosphere inside the conference room. The Skull Gang was facing a serious problem this time.
Brother Yu excused himself to inform Elle about this. Brother Yan also joined him outside to call Master Phantom.
Brother Yu was hesitating if he should call Elle at this hour. But since Elle reminded him to update her once the Mission was done, Brother Yu decided to call her.
The phone rang several times before it was answered.
Elle was getting ready for bed together with Erick when she received Brother Yu’s call. When she saw the caller I.D, she knew that this call was about the updates of tonight’s mission.
Elle: “Hello Yu, how did it go?”
Elle sat up while leaning her back on Erick’s chest. He was just hugging her as he listened to their conversation.
Brother Yu: “Both good and bad, Lady Boss.”
Elle: “Huh? What happened? By the way, just call me sis. How many times should I remind you?”
Brother Yu just scratched his face after hearing Elle’s complaint.
Brother Yu: “Alright S-Sis.”
Brother Yu was not used to calling her sis that’s why he stuttered a little bit. He was comfortable calling her Lady Boss but he also felt happy calling her ‘sis’.
Elle: “So what’s the good thing and the bad thing?”
Elle had a bad feeling about this. She hoped that everyone was just fine and safe.
Brother Yu sighed deeply before reporting everything to Elle.
Brother Yu: “Good thing we succeeded in securing the bio-weapons. We even retrieved the bio-weapons that were acquired by the Terrorists Group of Red Dragon.”
Brother Yu continued speaking.
Brother Yu: “Bad thing Brother Charles got injured and he is now rushed to Dr. Clara’s clinic.”
Elle was dumbfounded after hearing that. Her heart suddenly pounded rapidly inside her chest. She was worried sick about Charles.
Elle: “How is Charles?”
Brother Yu: “Don’t worry too much, Sis Elle. I heard that he’s not severely wounded. But there’s something more problematic than that.”
Elle: “What is it?”
Brother Yu: “Black Shadow was captured by the Dark Knight Organization. According to brother Charles, it was Black Shadow who helped him escape. Black Shadow was also injured.”
Elle fell silent when she heard that. Black Shadow was now her friend. She was saddened by this piece of bad news.
Brother Yu: “We are currently in their headquarters. Everyone is gathered here for an emergency meeting. Supremo is thinking of ways on how to rescue Black Shadow.”
Elle: “Ok got it, Brother Yu. Will call you again after.”
Elle ended the call after saying that. Then, she turned and gazed up to meet Erick’s face. Her face was painted with worries and concern for Black Shadow. She wanted to do something for him.
She couldn’t stand still, or else, she would be consumed by guilt. She was supposed to join Black Shadow in this mission.
She could vividly remember Black Shadow’s bright and cheerful expression when she told her that they would work together on one mission.
Though Erick couldn’t hear Brother Yu’s voice clearly, he could tell that something was wrong after seeing Elle’s worried expression.
“What’s wrong, Wifey? Tell me.” Erick urged her to speak up and shared her troubles with him.
Elle looked at him straight into his eyes.
“Hubby, there’s another secret I haven’t told you yet. Please listen to me as my husband, not as Chief Detective. Can you do that tonight?” Elle said to him meaningfully.
Erick bobbed his head in agreement. “Yes, Wifey. I will do that. I will listen to you as your husband, not a Chief Detective.”
***************
Meanwhile, at Dr. Clara’s Clinic, Dr. Clara was already preparing the operating room. She received a prior message about Charles getting wounded.
That was also the time Elena arrived at her clinic after her night duty in the District Hospital. She heard that Dr. Clara was still in the clinic and there was an emergency patient with a gunshot wound.
“Dr. Clara, Is the patient already here?” Elena asked Dr. Clara.
“Right timing, Elena, please assist me during this operation,” Dr. Clara requested from her.
Elena gave her a faint smile and bobbed her head.
“I am willing to help you and assist you Doc, just like the old times. I am still your favorite nurse, right?”
Dr. Clara smiled after hearing that. Then she faced Elena, holding both her shoulders.
“Elena, listen to me carefully. I don’t want to surprise or shock you, that’s why I will tell you now who’s our emergency patient. You know him.”
Elena fell silent after that. She didn’t know why but her heart suddenly became uneasy. A certain someone popped up in her mind.
‘Oh God please tell me it’s not him.’ Elena was silently praying in her mind.
“Our emergency patient is Charles.”
‘C-Charles! NO!’
Then the door of the clinic swung open and two men entered together with the wounded man.
