Chapter 432 - 432: Is There A Traitor?

Dr. Argus informed them that Lu finally woke up from a coma. Elle and others rejoiced when they heard that. 

It's been a week since Lu had received the antidote made by Me. Carter. His condition improved a lot and just today, Lu finally awakened.

Charles immediately went out to inform their brothers. It did not take long when Phantom's henchmen came running to the room.

"Master? Is it true? Our brother Lu regained his consciousness? He is not in a coma anymore?" Brother Yan asked Phantom expectantly.

Phantom nodded his head to confirm it. "Yes, Lu survived."

The henchmen jumped with joy, shouting and rejoicing as if they won a jackpot. Bryan, Erick and Elle just watched them with their blissful expression.

Though they failed their mission today, at least they received a piece of good news. Lu was now safe. His condition became stable.

"How is he?" Brother Yu asked them curiously.

"He seems normal. He could remember everything that happened two years ago. But because he was in a coma for two years, he has difficulty in moving his body." Elle informed them about Dr. Argus's report.

"But don't worry, he just needs to undergo physical therapy and he will be able to move normally again just like before," Elle reassured them.

"When will he return to City Z, Lady Boss?" Brother Ling asked her, feeling excited to see brother Lu.

Elle smiled at them tenderly before answering Brother Ling's question. "Dr. Argus said that they can transfer brother Lu here in City Z after a week. James will let us use their private plane."

"Yes! We will be able to see our youngest brother soon!"

"I'm so excited to see him!"

"I missed him so much. Thank you so much, Lady Boss."

Other henchmen showed their joyful mood and expressed their feelings about this piece of good news.

Master Phantom could only smile at their childish behavior. He felt relieved now. His other son would be coming back to them, safe and sound, after battling the toxin to survive for two years.

With that, everyone got a good sleep. Tomorrow was another day. They would continue planning tomorrow but for now they needed to rest.

Erick and Elle slept together in one room. They were cuddling each other. They felt light-hearted because of the good news. 

Another burden was lifted off their shoulders. They could now focus more about catching Alfonso and reopening the Massacre Case of Falcon Family.

They also had to find out who was the traitor in Erick's team, or else their future mission would be compromised once again. Worse case would be, members of Erick and Officer Kim's team might be put in great danger.

********************

The next morning, Elle, Erick and Bryan got separated with Phantom's group. Phantom and his henchmen decided to stay at City X for a while to investigate further.

They wanted to know where did the Dark Knight Organization transfer the Bio-weapon Facility. They saw the ten big trucks two days ago, leaving the compound.

They suspected that the Bio-weapon equipment was transported by those big trucks. They would try to track down those trucks.

On the other hand, Elle, Erick and Bryan went back to City Z. They heard that Officer Kim and his men already arrived in City Z. 

They also received lots of miscalls from other members of Erick's team. They received the report that the mission failed last night.

April also called Bryan. She was worried about him. He didn't call or message her last night that's why she panicked. She thought something bad happened to him.

April and Bryan's wedding ceremony was about to happen two weeks from now. She would not be at ease as her fiancee was doing a very dangerous mission.

When the three of them arrived at XXX Crime Investigation Headquarters, Erick immediately called an emergency meeting together with his team and Officer Kim's team.

They were all gathered in the conference room. Everyone had gloomy expressions on their faces. 

April was holding Bryan's hand tightly. She was glad that he was safe. Now, she felt relieved now since she saw him. But she was wondering why Aliyah Ross arrived together with them.

Elle didn't join the meeting. She stayed in Erick's office but she made sure to plant a spying device inside the conference room so that she could still hear their entire conversation.

Of course, that spying device was attached to Erick. And he was aware about it. They already discussed this with each other. She would try to help him figure out who was the traitor among the team.

Aside from Alpha Cinco, Officer Kim and five of his comrades were the only people who knew about their mission that night. Someone from them either leaked information intentionally or unintentionally.

They were hoping that it was the latter because They couldn't stand the fact that someone betrayed them. Erick, Elle and Bryan were saddened by the thought that one of their team members might be a traitor. 

Despite that, they needed to know that person. This was for everyone's sake. 

Soon everyone from the team spoke up and expressed their concerns for what happened.! 

Allen: "Chief Lee, how is this possible that they learned about the mission that night?"

June: "Did someone here leak the information?"

Rose: "Oh my gosh! Thank God, no one got hurt!"

April: "We should be more careful next time."

Carl: "T-That's true. So that this thing will not happen in the future."

Officer Kim: "I already talked to my men. They assured me that they didn't tell anyone about our mission."

One of Officer Kim's comrades also spoke up to defend their team. "Of course, we didn't tell anyone. We almost lost our lives that night. We won't take that risk."

Everyone fell silent. The tension inside the conference room grew by second. Everyone was now thinking that one of them might be the traitor. It created mistrust among the team.

Erick finally broke his silence. "Everyone please calm down. We didn't know what truly happened here. Doubting our team would leave us to disadvantage. We need to unite at times like this and figure out where things went wrong. I don't want to think that one of us betrayed the team."

After hearing that, the team finally calmed down a little bit.
