Chapter 248 - 248: Say Goodbye To Your Most Precious

*** At Azumi's Hideout ***

A playful smile never left Kelsy's face even after her conversation with Erick had already ended.

She turned to her twin brother and said, "Bro, this Chief Detective is an interesting fellow. Do you agree with me?" 

Kevin just furrowed his brows. He could see the amus.e.m.e.nt in her eyes.

"I can see that you are enjoying this." Kevin simply replied to her as he continued what he was doing.

He was tying their unconscious hostages in a chair- Erick's mother and father.

"I am wondering how he would bring Catseye to us. Do you think they are in contact with each other?" Kelsy couldn't help but wonder.

"I am also curious about how close their relationship is. I keep thinking… if that Chief Detective is protecting Catseye then he is clearly betraying his team. He is assigned to this case." Kevin also felt puzzled about this.

"We will know that soon. Besides, looking at the person who he is like, he is the kind who will not let his parents be in danger just because of a criminal like Catseye." Kelsy said to her brother as she shrugged.

"Anyway, do you hear any updates from those people whom we sent to take his girlfriend?" Kevin asked her as he remembered the other team.

Kelsy frowned after hearing that.

"Nothing yet. I called them several times already but no one among them was picking up. There are four of them. Why is it they are taking this long to accomplish their mission? Their target is only one girl." There was a hint of impatience and annoyance in her voice.

"I think they are really taking their time enjoying their mission. Besides, who wouldn't be tempted to play with a lovely lady like her. You see her appearance right? Those fools are typical men who would desire someone like her." Kevin shook his head as he sneered from that thought.

"I wonder what will be the reaction of this Chief Detective if ever he finds out that his girlfriend is getting laid by those men as of this moment," she commented as she looked at the picture of Elle in her hand.

"If I were in his shoes then I would surely kill them and torture them to death." Kevin let out a soft chuckle as his gaze also fell on the picture which was being held by Kelsy.

She giggled after seeing her brother's expression as he looked at the picture. 

"Brother, are you interested in this girl too? Did you regret not accompanying those Dark Knight members in getting her?" She said as she teased her brother.

"Nonsense!" Kevin promptly denied her accusation.

"Do you think you can manage alone without me? That detective's father was a former policeman," Kevin added.

Kelsy let out another giggle. "Of course I can. Don't you have confidence in me brother?"

Kevin just raised his brows. "I do have. But if we are working together there is a hundred percent success. Remember, we don't want to disappoint the Dark Lord. Even Alfonso was afraid of him."

"Alright. Let's wait for the good news from those men. They should be done already by now. They already knew where to bring that girl," she said to end the discussion.

Kevin just nodded at her in agreement.

After monitoring Erick for the past few days, they learned about his parents and his girlfriend. But just like what Elle had guessed, the twins missed out something about her. They didn't look into her further. 

They just focused on Erick's background and his parents. Just this morning, the Azumi Twins together with some Dark Knight members who were sent to them to give their assistance, they'd started to make their moves.

They split the team into two, one would go after Erick's parents while the other one would target his girlfriend. The twins chose to follow Erick's parents while they gave the other task to Dark Knight members.

It appeared to be that fate didn't make those assassins to cross paths and meet today. It was not the time for their duel yet. If things went the other way then there would be a different result.

Was this incident a good thing or a bad thing? As of this moment, no one knew the answer. The result was still undetermined. Everyone was unaware of what was about to come in their ways.

But one thing was for sure, this would bring great changes to their lives.

Meanwhile, at Falcon Cafe Secret Bas.e.m.e.nt, the four men who tried to kidnap Elle were already awake. Of course, Elle already restrained them.

As they opened their eyes they were surprised to see each other being tied down using one rope. They were sitting on the floor, their backs facing each other. Their mouths were also covered by masking tape.

When Elle noticed some movements from their direction, she turned around to face them. She was playing a game on her computer as she waited for them to wake up.

She could see the confusion in their eyes as they peered around their surroundings. They didn't know where they were as of this moment. The last time they remembered was they were inside the Cafe while trying to catch a girl.

They became more shocked when they saw her. Disbelief was all over their faces. They had one question in mind.

'How come she was able to knock us down in just a split of seconds?'

As if she could read their minds Elle talked to them.

"Do you think that a girlfriend of a Chief Detective is an easy target? You were mistaken about that. He trained me so well. I knew some moves. It's for my protection and self-defense." Elle lied to them as she still tried to cover up her identity as Catseye.

It looked like they bought her alibi immediately.

"Oh, he also taught me how to make someone talk if I need to seek some answers," Elle said to them as she flashed her mischievous but dangerous smile.

She approached them as she continued, "I have some questions. I hope you could give me some answers too." Her voice was calm but there was a hint of danger and coldness in her dark eyes.

They couldn't explain but her sharp stare could send shivers and chills to their bodies. Then Elle raised her hands showing them some items.

On her right hand, there was a set of needles with different lengths while on her left hand she was holding a kitchen knife. Their eyes widened upon seeing those items.

'What is she going to do?'

"Don't worry. If you will cooperate with me then I don't have to use any of these. Oh, let me remind you, these needles are poisoned. Just one prick could make you paralyzed for life." She was trying to scare them.

"I would tell the police that I did this for self-defense," she added.

"Oh, I just remembered. You were thinking about inappropriate things just a while ago, weren't you? Wanted to play with me huh? Now, I have the chance to play with you too." she threatened them.

"If you won't talk then either I will use this knife to cut your most precious thing under your pants or I will use these poisoned needles to prick it. What do you prefer?"

Elle let out a sinister laugh after saying that. It was very effective. The four men were scared to death just imagining those things. They shook their heads as they begged her not to do it. They couldn't talk since their lips were sealed.

"Good! Now, are you ready to talk?" Elle asked them.

In an instant, they bobbed their heads frantically, afraid that she would change her mind.

Elle's lips curled up into a satisfied smile as she removed the seal covering their mouths. Then she started to ask them.

"Who sent you here?"

"The Azumi Twins!"

"Why?"

"To capture you and make you a hostage to threaten the Chief Detective!"

"Why?" she repeated her question. 

"In exchange for Catseye's life."

Elle raised her brows. She already expected these answers from them.

"Who hired them to kill Catseye?"

The four men paused for a moment. They were hesitating whether to tell her the truth or not.

Elle squinted her eyes as she looked daggers at them. She raised her hand and showed them the needles in order to remind them about what she would do to them.

"Don't dare lie to me or else you will say goodbye to your most precious thing," Elle said firmly as she warned them. Her gaze fell on their pants, emphasizing her words.

"Dark Knight!" 

"It's the Dark Knight Organization!"

They exclaimed almost at the same time.
