Chapter 231 - 231: Commotion in the Airport

When Elle arrived at the airport, she immediately headed to the passenger's waiting lounge to find Black Shadow. It did not take long when she found him, standing while leaning on the wall.

Black Shadow was wearing a pink shirt, covered by a jacket and paired with blue jeans. His eyes were hidden under the black sunglasses that's why Elle couldn't tell that he was actually spacing out, thinking about something.

In just one look, he was oozing with s.e.x appeal. Others won't suspect that this gorgeous guy was an elite assassin, instead, they would think that he was a professional model in those men's magazines.

Elle slowly approached him. She was holding a paper bag on her left hand. If she didn't speak up then Black Shadow would not notice that she was already beside him.

"Talk quickly," Elle said showing her aloofness and coldness to Black Shadow.

Her voice interrupted him in his train of thoughts. He absentmindedly gazed in her direction.

'Oh, she's here! She came.' Black Shadow was a little bit surprised. He thought she wouldn't come as she hung up the phone a while ago without responding to him.

"Nice. Finally, someone is here to send me off." His signature cheeky smile appeared on his face as he greeted her.

He loved to see her irritated and annoyed expression. That's why he couldn't help himself but chuckle as he saw her scowled and glared at him the moment she heard his statement.

"I said talk to me about the important thing you want to tell me. Don't flaunt to me your shamelessness." Her voice was firm and cold.

Black Shadow let out another soft chuckle before he responded to her.

"Alright," he paused as he looked at her intently. "I think, Azumi Twins are on the move. I told them about your special relationship with the Chief Detective."

At first, Elle was baffled when she heard that but after a few seconds she recovered and her expressions suddenly changed. 

The temperature around them suddenly dropped into negative as Black Shadow could feel the chill and frightening aura emanating from Elle.

Not giving him a chance to say another word, Elle reflexively dropped the paper bag she was holding as she suddenly charged towards Black Shadow, giving him a surprise attack.

Unprepared with her move and speed, Elle's fist hit him hard on his jaw.

"Aw!" Black Shadow grunted in pain as the punch got connected. Because of the impact, his sunglasses fell on the floor.

Not yet satisfied, Elle continued attacking him, not minding the people around them. She threw several punches aiming at Black Shadow's face. There was fury in her eyes. She wanted to beat him so bad right now.

This time Black Shadow was able to react fast as he tried to dodge her attacks.

"Hey! Hey! Calm down! Let me explain first! I'm not yet finished!" Black Shadow said to her as he continued to block Elle's punches.

They already gathered the attention of the people around them. Black Shadow noticed the strange look that the bystanders were giving them.

"Hey stop that. We are in a public place right now. People are watching us! Oh no! It looks like they call security guards." He was trying his best to make Elle stop.

"I'll kill you. If something bad happens to Erick I will hunt you down even in hell!" Elle said through her gritted teeth.

"Hey! STOP! You have nothing to worry about. Your man can protect himself. He fights very well. He even beat me before!" Black Shadow said spontaneously while he still kept on dodging her attack.

"D*mn!" He was already cursing.

Then suddenly Black Shadow caught her hands. With his full strength, he pulled her towards him and restrained her immediately through a hug. Elle was caught off guard with his counterattack. 

Then he suddenly spoke up in a very loud voice. 

"Hey Don't be mad anymore. Let me explain first. I didn't cheat on you. You are the only woman in my life. This is just a big misunderstanding!"

Elle:"..."

After hearing that Elle froze in her spot. 'D*mn! What is he trying to do here, spouting nonsense in this public place.'

Blacks Shadow's lips twitched into a smile the moment he felt Elle already stopped moving in his arms. 

He heaved a sigh of relief. 'Finally, the devil had calmed down.'

After Elle recovered from her trance, she kicked Black Shadow's leg and pushed him away from her. That's when she noticed that several pairs of eyes were already looking at them. There were also security guards behind her.

'Sh!t. What I have done? This is so embarrassing! I wish that the ground will open up for me right now.' 

Elle was scolding herself as she acted on impulse and disregarded Black Shadow's warning because of her rage.

Black Shadow scratched his head as he apologized to the security guards and the people watching them.

"Sorry. This is just a misunderstanding. This is just a lover's quarrel. Please don't mind us." Black Shadow said to the crowd.

The security guards just nodded at him before they turned around and left. 

After pacifying the curious crowd, Black Shadow whispered on Elle. 

"Now, are you willing to listen to my explanation first? Tsk tsk tsk… I don't know you are very bold and impulsive, causing a commotion in public places like here in the airport." Black Shadow chuckled as he teased her.

Elle just shot him a cold stare. Even though she wanted to give him good beatings right now but she couldn't do it in front of the public.

"Explain! Or else you won't leave this place unscathed." Elle said with her stern cold voice.

Black Shadow sighed deeply. 

"The Azumi Twins tricked me." 

There was darkness in his eyes the moment he remembered what happened.

"I had no choice but to tell them something. They forced me and I got tricked by them in the end." he laughed dryly after saying those words.

Elle frowned. From the expression of Black Shadow, she could tell that he was telling the truth.

"That's why I want to meet you today before I leave and tell you this. I want to warn you. As I said, I am confident with your man. He won't be in danger. He has good combat skills.

"Oh don't worry. I also lied to them. I told them that Catseye is a man."

Elle was taken aback. She didn't expect him to do that.

"Why are you telling me this? We are not in that kind of relationship where we can exchange important information like this." Elle couldn't help but question his action.

"Because I want you to beat them." Black Shadow said.

"Why don't you do it yourself? What's stopping you, Black? I don't believe that you couldn't do that because of your d*mn guild's rule! I could also see through your lies."

Black Shadow paused after hearing her remarks. Maybe Catseye was right. He couldn't do it by himself because something was stopping him or rather someone was stopping him to do that.

"You have a special relationship with the twins. You hate them but still, you couldn't bring yourself to hurt them." Elle voiced out what's on Black Shadow's mind right now.

He didn't deny nor confirm it. He just smiled bitterly. He was amazed at how Catseye was able to understand his thoughts.

Elle had conflicting thoughts about Black Shadow. She could figure him out somehow.

After a while, Black Shadow was back to his cheerful mood. 

"Anyway. I'm done here. I've already told you what I wanted to tell you. I guess I can now leave City Z with ease. Goodbye, Catseye! Take care." He smiled at her before he turned around to leave.

But Elle stopped him. "Wait!"

Then Elle picked up the paper bag she dropped on the floor when she started attacking Black. When he heard her stopping him, he turned around to face her again. Then he saw her extending her arm in front of him.

Black Shadow furrowed his brows as he glanced at the paper bag she was giving him.

"What's this? Are you giving me a goodbye gift? Oh, you're so thoughtful my dearest Catseye." Black grinned widely as he winked at her.

"This is not from me. This is from agent Marie." Elle said in a serious tone. She was observing Black Shadow's reaction.

"Agent Marie?" At first, Black Shadow was confused about who Elle was referring to. But seconds later, he recognized the paper bag in her hand. It looked familiar to him.

Black Shadow didn't know the true name of Marie. She introduced another name to him, the same with him. They didn't usually address each other by name. They often called each other through endearments such as 'Babe' and 'Sweety.'

The smile on his face immediately disappeared. This reaction from him didn't escape from the observant eyes of Elle. She smiled inwardly from the thoughts she had in mind right now.

'Interesting. I guess my assumption is correct.' Elle thought to herself.
