The Devilish Assassin Meets The Angelic Detective - Volume 2: Their Paths Cross Again Chapter 463 463: Exchange

After knowing that the emergency patient was Charles, Elena’s face suddenly became pale. Her mind was clouded by worry and concern towards Charles.

Then the door of the clinic swung open and two men entered together with the wounded man. The person was Charles. His blood was dripping on the floor.

“Bring him here” Dr. Clara guided them in the operating room.

Elena stayed rooted in her spot upon seeing the wounded Charles. She felt like her heart was going to burst as of this moment.

‘What happened to him? What did he do this time? Is he trying to get himself killed?’

After a few seconds, Elena finally moved her feet, following Dr. Clara and Charles from behind.

They needed to operate on him and remove the bullet. She was silently praying that his wound was not severe or fatal.

She felt like crying again. Then Elena realized that she still cared for him so much. She couldn’t take it if anything bad would happen to him.

With so much determination, Elena entered the operating room. She would do her best to treat Charles.

~ At Skull Gang Headquarters ~

Sherlock and Spike together with their team arrived at the headquarters. They immediately proceeded to the conference room where James and others were waiting.

“Supremo, they are here!” One member of Skull Gang informed Supremo about Spike and Sherlock’s arrival.

James simply nodded at them when Spike and Sherlock entered the conference room.

“Now, everyone is here. Let’s begin this emergency meeting,” James said with his authoritative voice.

Brother Yu and Brother Yan joined them.

“First of all, I would like to congratulate Catseye’s team for securing the bio-weapons. But I know this is not the time to celebrate.”

James paused for a moment as his eyes roamed around the conference room. Everyone fell silent, waiting for Supremo to continue.

“One of our comrades was captured by our enemy. We don’t know how long they will let him live. But we know that our enemy will try to torture him just to get what they want from him. That is information about us!”

One member raised his concern. “Supremo, what if Black Shadow will betray us and sell us out to the Dark Knight Organization in order to save his life? What should we do about that?”

Spike and Sherlock had already thought of this possibility. Now, they were anticipating Supremo’s decision.

James slammed his eyes shut while clenching his fists. After calming himself down, he opened his eyes and peered at them with a very serious expression on his face.

“I believe that Black Shadow will never betray us even if it means death for him.”

Everyone was dumbfounded after hearing that. Even Spike and Sherlock didn’t expect that Supremo trusted Black Shadow so much.

Sherlock turned to Spike, whispering something to him.

“I didn’t know that our Supremo trusted Black Shadow this much. As far as I remember, Supremo hid the existence of our Queen from Black Shadow because he didn’t trust Black Shadow.”

“Fool! Our Queen’s safety was his priority. It was an exemption but it didn’t mean Supremo didn’t trust Black Shadow. It’s just that he didn’t want to gamble when it came to our Queen’s life.” Spike explained to Sherlock.

“So are we going to rescue him? But how? We didn’t know where they brought him.” One higher-up spoke up.

“We are willing to help.” Brother Yan volunteered.

After talking to Phantom a while ago, he advised them that they could offer help to the Skull Gang to resolve this crisis. Phantom’s henchmen were ready to help them at any moment.

But the higher-up just pointed out the problem. They didn’t know where to find him. It’s like a race of time. If they couldn’t find him soon the more Black Shadow’s life would be put in danger.

If Black Shadow decided not to talk then the Dark Knight might kill him right away.

Then arguments and debates between the higher-ups heated up inside the conference room. Others were against the Rescue Operation.

They thought it would be more dangerous to infiltrate all the headquarters of the Dark Knight Organization. It required a lot of time and effort. The lives of other members would be put in danger as well.

James massaged his temples just listening to them. Even he, himself, was having difficulty how they would be able to save Black Shadow and ensure his safety.

They needed a concrete, precise, and effective strategy. But since almost everyone was arguing, they couldn’t come up with a sound decision.

Not until a certain someone made an appearance and joined them. Everyone fell silent when Elle, their previous Queen entered the conference room. No one had expected her arrival tonight.

Sherlock: “Queen!”

Spike: “Catseye?!”

Brother Yan: “Lady Boss!”

Brother Yu: “Sis Elle!”

Meanwhile, James immediately stood up from his seat and approached Elle.

“What are you doing here? You are supposed to sleep now. Staying up all night is not good for your baby,” James slightly nagged at her with his concerned voice.

“Where’s Erick? How come he didn’t stop you? He should watch over you all the time!” James said exasperatedly.

Elle just let out a soft giggle. “Calm down, Supremo. My husband dropped me off here. He’s now on the way to Dr. Clara’s clinic. I asked him to check Charles’s condition on my behalf.”

“I’m here to help you out. We need to save Black Shadow at all costs. Are you willing to do that?” Elle asked everyone.

They didn’t want to offend or contradict their Queen. Since Elle was determined to save Black Shadow then the arguments were also done.

Supremo would only listen to the Queen and their opinions and objections no longer held any power.

Everyone just nodded at her in agreement.

“Good I have a proposal. The Dark Knight Organization only focuses on gains. We can save Black Shadow but to do that, we have to use those bio-weapons in exchange for his life.”
