Chapter 456 - 456: Lost Contact

The mission of retrieving the bio-weapons succeeded. Now they got a hold of the evidence they needed to show the government that a certain organization called Dark Knight Organization was freely and secretly operating the facility in the country.

They planned to involve the government authority especially the Commander-in-Chief who was the current President of this country. 

Though spies were everywhere in different branches of government offices and agencies, they needed to work with the government and its law enforcement to stop the evil deeds of the Dark Knight Organization.

They were dangerous as they even started dealing with the international terrorist group like Red Dragon's group. This was quite alarming. The Skull Gang didn't even think of going to that extent before.

Because of the Skull Gang interference, sabotaging the resources of the Dark Knight Organization for the past two years, the Dark Lord resorted to this thing, dealing with the infamous international terrorist group to recover their losses. 

The Dark Knight Organization was now desperate. But this was as expected of them. They were the most cunning organization in the underground world. 

And now, the Skull Gang wanted to put an end to the Dark Knight's reign. To do that, they needed to unmask the Dark Lord and find out his true identity. Tonight was the perfect night to do that, but unfortunately, he escaped again from their grasp.

The limousine was empty, only two or three Dark Knight members were inside the car including the driver. When Spike and Sherlock asked them about the whereabouts of the Dark Lord, they refused to talk. In the end, they failed. 

"The Dark Lord and Alfonso including the higher-ups of the Dark Knight Organization have escaped. We are sorry about that." Spike reported to the team.

"It's alright. Don't feel dejected. We managed to retrieve the bio-weapons. It's the most important thing," Brother Yu commented from the other line.

Spike and Sherlock heaved a frustrated sigh.

"Come on guys! Cheer up!" Brother Yan butted in when he heard their long deep sigh.

"Now, let's wait for Brother Charles and Black Shadow's updates. It seems that they are busy right now," Brother Yu said when he noticed that Black Shadow and Charles were not speaking from the other line.

"Yeah, we can go back there if they need back-up. Why are they not contacting us?" Sherlock said, wondering why Black Shadow and Charles became quiet.

"Maybe they are really engrossed with what they are doing right now. This is the first time they did a mission together. I wonder if they are having a competition as of this moment, given that Black Shadow had beaten Brother Charles before." Brother Yan couldn't help but mumble.

"Brother Yu, watch your mouth. They can still hear us," Brother Yu informed Brother yan before bursting out laughing.

"Oh, I'm sorry. I forgot about that!" Brother Yan apologized but he was laughing too.

Spike and Sherlock could only sigh helplessly while shaking their heads. Knowing Black Shadow, Brother Yan's assumption might be possible.

"Alright. We will go back and check on them. You two, proceed straight to the Skull Gang's headquarters. Bring that special package to Supremo. He is waiting for us there. Secure the bio-weapons. This will be the cause of the Dark Knight's downfall. Handle them with care," Spike reminded Brother Yu and Brother Yan.

Brother Yu: " Noted, Brother Spike!"

Brother Yan: "We will do our best. You take care of the rest. Hahaha!"

After talking to them, Sherlock spoke to Spike. " Wow, you gain a new brother tonight, Brother Spike! Hahaha." He just wanted to lighten the mood and tease Spike.

Spike just rolled his eyes at him before he entered his car. " Move now. Black Shadow, that dude must be doing a reckless thing again. Our mission was done here. That two punk should stop playing and messing around."

Sherlock just shrugged his shoulders. "Oh, Spike… you don't really know the word FUN."

Unknown to them, there was another reason why Charles and Black Shadow had stopped communicating with them. They were not playing around nor competing. Something big happened on their sides.

~ Thirty Minutes Ago ~

When the chase began, Charles and Black Shadow remained on the venue, diverting the attention of other Dark Knight's men.

They had no idea that Black Shadow's hiding spot had been discovered by Kevin Azumi. Kevin approached his hiding spot slowly. He couldn't take a clear shot from his previous spot so he needed to come personally and get near him.

Among the snipers, only Kevin had managed to stay hidden, away from Black Shadow's and Charles's radar. That was one miscalculation on their part.

Black Shadow was so engrossed with shooting the men on the lower grounds that he failed to notice Kevin's presence behind his back.

Kevin had recognized Black Shadow right away even if Black Shadow's back was facing him.

'Well, Well, Well! What a nice sight to see. The person I've been hunting for the past months just delivered himself to me with a silver plate.' Kevin thought to himself, flashing his sinister smile.

He took his time observing Black Shadow. 'From our distance, I could kill him easily. Plant a bullet right through his head!'

Kevin was thinking of so many ways how he would get even with Black Shadow after his betrayal. He wanted him to suffer. He was still blaming him for deceiving the Azumi Twins about Catseye's true identity.

Two years ago, it was Black Shadow who lied to them that Catseye was a man, not a woman. He was still boiling with fury whenever he would remember that.

Kevin paid a great price two years ago. He lost the eyesight of his one eye because of Catseye. He blamed Black Shadow for that. But in the first place, it was his carelessness that brought that mischief upon himself.

After he was done reminiscing the past, Kevin pointed his gun in Black Shadow's direction. Black Shadow was still unaware of Kevin's presence. After a few seconds, the sound of gunfire was heard in that area.

BANG!
