The Devilish Assassin Meets The Angelic Detective - Volume 2: Their Paths Cross Again Chapter 480 480: Snake On The Move

*** At Dark Knight Organization Headquarters ***

The five elite men who were assigned to capture Matt Carter were now reporting to the Dark Lord. They had no choice but to inform him about the piece of bad news.

“Where’s Matt Carter? I am expecting that you will come here with him. What happened?” the Dark Lord’s voice was stern and cold. He already knew that the mission he gave them failed.

“We almost had him but someone interfered. While he was escaping from us, several police patrol cars arrived on the scene. They escorted him. They outnumbered us so we decided to retreat.” The leader of the five men explained to the Dark Lord.

The five of them were bowing their heads, no one dared to look at the Dark Lord’s eyes. They failed a mission and it was unforgivable. They knew how disappointed the Dark Lord was as of this moment.

The Dark Lord just remained silent, massaging his temples. A lot of bad things happened on their sides. Some supplies of bio-weapon were taken by the Skull Gang and now the scientist escaped from their grasp once again.

“Did you say he was escorted by police officers?” The Dark Lord asked them again.

“Yes, our Lord,” The five of them answered him in unison.

“Then we need to find out who took him. Since those people came from the police Department, Snake could help us find out where they brought Matt Carter,” The Dark Lord asked his assistant to call Snake.

After a few rings, the call got connected.

Snake: “My lord, why did you call me? Do you have a mission for me?”

Snake knew that once the Dark Lord called him personally there’s something important he wanted to tell him. It’s probably about a mission or task the Dark Lord wanted to give him.

The Dark Lord: “Snake, I found my precious scientist however my incapable men here let him escape once again.”

Snake: “Oh, that’s a piece of bad news. How can I help you?”

The Dark Lord: “Some police officers helped him escape. Find out who’s the person helping the scientist. You might discover his hideout once you learn who the people who helped him. This is the important task I am giving to you.”

Snake: “Ok, got it. Give me an hour or two. I will call you back once I get the information you needed.”

The Dark Lord: “Ok. I’m counting on you.”

After the call, Snake immediately moved to do the task. He was the most outstanding spy of the Dark Lord. No one would think that he was connected to the Dark Knight Organization because of his good reputation.

The Dark Knight helped him to have that reputation. He was indebted to the Dark Lord. He had sworn his loyalty to him as long as he was alive. He could betray his friends but not the Dark Lord.

If there was something they needed to erase, like evidence and any proof that would connect the crime to the Dark Knight Organization, Snake was the one cleaning those things for them.

After one hour, the Dark Lord received a call from Snake.

The Dark Lord: “Did you get something? Did you trace the scientist? Where did they bring him? A safe house?”

The Dark Lord asked Snake eagerly. He was desperate to catch Mr. Carter. He was the only one who knew how to make the antidotes.

Snake: “Yes, my Lord. I found out the team who helped him escape. They are the team of Police Officer Kim of Precinct No.7. They escorted him. But”

“But what?” The Dark Lord couldn’t handle the suspense. He wanted to hear it soon.

Snake: “They had no idea where the scientist was staying. I think it will take time for me to find out because the person who asked them for help was none other than Chief Inspector Detective Erick Lee of the XXX Crime Investigation Bureau.”

The Dark Lord frowned when he heard Erick’s name. This fellow was the cleanest and righteous man in the law enforcement department. No Bribe would work against him.

Snake: “It looks like the Scientist becomes friends with the detective. He is the only one who knew where to find the scientist or the place where he is hiding right now.”

The Dark Lord slammed his eyes shut and gritted his teeth. This was not good. He had no choice but to do something against that righteous detective.

The Dark Lord: “Try to spy on him and get information from him. If spying won’t work this time then we have to target Eric Lee. Do anything you can, any method you can use just find the scientist. After that, eliminate Erick Lee.”

Snake was taken aback when he heard that. But this order was already expected from the Dark Lord. But Snake couldn’t help but feel reluctant about killing Eric Lee.

Snake: “Why? Why do we need to eliminate him?”

The Dark Lord sensed the disapproval in Snake’s voice. “Because it is necessary. Matt Carter might have informed him already about us about the Dark Knight’s bio-weapon facility. A good cop like him is a big threat to us especially if he already knows everything about our operation.”

“He is smart to figure out everything. He is getting near to finding the evidence. Did you forget? Erick’s team was the one who tried to infiltrate the bio-weapon facility in City X. We just got lucky since you were able to find out their plan.” The Dark Lord reminded Snake.

Complicated emotions flashed through Snake’s eyes. He could only sigh. He had to follow the Dark Lord’s order. He just felt uncomfortable killing another good cop. Though he had done it before he couldn’t help but feel sorry for Erick.

He had betrayed a lot of friends already. And Erick was not an exemption. The Dark Lord was right. Erick was a big threat to them right now. If he already knew everything then they needed to eliminate him as soon as possible.
