The Devilish Assassin Meets The Angelic Detective - Volume 2: Their Paths Cross Again Chapter 469 469: Black Shadow's Internal Struggle

Black Shadow spent his time just thinking of what decision he should make. Kelsy told him that there was a time limit before he would meet his end. He had to admit that Kelsy’s proposal was tempting.

If he was still the Black Shadow before then he won’t have a second thought and would accept her offer right away just to save his life. Loyalty and friendship were not in his vocabulary before. But everything changed. Just like Catseye, he was a changed man now.

If he talked then the whole organization would be put in danger. Even if he would lie to them, he knew that it was just a matter of time before the Dark Lord and Dark Knight would learn about it. Instant death was waiting for him.

He was still wounded so he had no ability to escape this place as of this moment. So accepting Kelsy’s proposal and saying some lies or false information to them was not a good choice. It’s just delaying his time of death but in the end, his ending would still be the same.

Black Shadow clenched his fists. He was blaming himself for being careless.

“Damn! That Catseye version 2.0 was useless. He should have called the back-ups right away. He stood me up.”

Black Shadow heaved a deep sigh. He just wanted to lighten his mood by making some jokes. In fact, he was not blaming Charles.

He was also worried about him. He wondered if he was able to escape safely or not. What if some Dark Knight Members spotted him after escaping from that building? He also saw him being shot in the back then fell.

“Make sure your alive or else, my sacrifice and efforts for saving you will be put in vain,” Black Shadow mumbled to himself.

Since he was alone in his room, he could do his monologue as much as he wanted. No one was keeping an eye on him inside. The guard was outside. Besides, his hand had a handcuff that was attached to the sickbed. He was still a prisoner after all.

“My Marie I want to see her even for one last time. Will this really be my end?

Black Shadow let out a humorless chuckle. He was feeling helpless right now. He was not sure if James and others were also doing their best to track his location now.

He didn’t know if they were also planning to take an action just to save him. What if Kelsy was right? He was just a pawn in this game called Chess. A pawn that needed to be sacrificed to defeat the opponent that would lead to their downfall. Checkmate!

Time passed by too quickly. Kelsy entered his room, signifying that time’s up. He had to give her his answer.

“Have you think it over? Now is the time you have to make your decision. To live or to die?” Kelsy was very serious.

Deep inside, she was also nervous about Black Shadow’s decision. She knew that he was also stubborn. If he didn’t care then he didn’t care at all. No one would be able to convince him to change his mind.

She wanted him to live, not to die. But if Black Shadow would not cooperate with them then she had no other ways to save him. This was not their territory.

She couldn’t ask the Assassin’s Guild to rescue Black Shadow and helped him escape from here since Black Shadow was no longer a member of that guild.

Joining the Dark Knight Organization was the only way that could help him in this life-threatening situation.

“Yes. I already made up my mind. But I won’t tell you here. Bring me to the Dark Lord. I want to negotiate with him personally,” Black Shadow said, making a demand from Kelsy.

Kelsy had unsettled feelings about this. She couldn’t tell what’s going on in his mind right now.

“What are you planning to do. I am warning you, Black! Don’t do reckless things that will bring you to your death!” Kelsy was scolding Black Shadow.

She was acting like this because she was worried about him.

“Why do you care?” Black Shadow said with a mocking smile on his lips.

Kelsy squinted her eyes at Black Shadow who was sitting on his sickbed. Without answering his question, Kelsy moved closer to him.

Before Black Shadow could realize what happened, Kelsy’s soft lips were already attached to his. She was gripping his chin and the back of his head, kissing him hungrily with a fervent need.

Black Shadow was caught off guard by her sudden action. Since his hands were bound by the handcuffs, he couldn’t push her away. His mouth was closed, not responding to her.

But Kelsy was very persistent. She would take no as an answer. She won’t allow Black Shadow to reject her. She teased him by running her tongue on his lips, seeking an entrance. Kelsy became aggressive, nibbling, and biting his lips.

Black was fighting the pleasant sensation Kelsy was giving him. He didn’t want to give in to what she wanted. She’s not the woman he loved anymore. Marie was the woman in his heart now.

Kelsy didn’t stop. She even pressed Black Shadow’s wound so that he would open his mouth as he let out a grunt. Kelsy took that opportunity to plunge her tongue inside his mouth. When Kelsy did that, Black Shadow’s self-restraint collapsed and he started to respond.

‘Now, since I did this, I felt like I cheated on my girlfriend. I have no right to see her and face her. There’s no use in keeping me alive. Now, I know what to do,’ Black Shadow thought to himself as he continued kissing Kelsy.

When they broke the kiss, Kelsy cupped Black Shadow’s face and told him, “I care because I still love you. I still love you, Black.”

Black Shadow just looked at her emotionless. With his unreadable expression, Black Shadow spoke up. “Bring me to the Dark Lord, now.”
