Chapter 457 - 457: Ran Out of Luck

After Kevin was done reminiscing about the past, he 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!

Before Black Shadow realized what happened, a bullet already pierced through his right shoulder, thus dropping his sniper rifle from his hand.

He turned around only to see Kevin slowly approaching him. There was a sinister smile on his face as he played his pistol in his hand.

"Well, nice seeing you here, Black Shadow. Long time no see, Dude! Did you miss me?" Kevin said to him with a mocking smile.

Black Shadow was now holding his wounded shoulder. A deep frown appeared on his face. He didn't see this coming. Kevin Azumi finally caught him this time. Would this be his end?

"Why are you not talking? Are you surprised to see me? Do you know that I missed you? I've been searching for you for the past two years. Finally, I found you tonight." Kevin was now just two meters away from Black Shadow.

Black Shadow's blood was now dripping from his shoulder down the floor. Then another gunfire was heard.

Bang!

Kevin shot him once again in his right leg. Black Shadow fell on his knee.

"Argh!" He whimpered but he was enduring the pain.

"Well, I love to see you kneeling in front of me now, Black Shadow. I'm thinking of so many ways how to kill you for betraying me and my sister."

Kevin was enjoying the show. He wanted to see Black Shadow suffer. Killing him right away was no fun at all. He wanted to torture him and beat him until he would beg his forgiveness.

"Do you want to stay alive? Hmm, I have a proposal. Why don't you beg me now? Ask for my forgiveness. Come here. Kiss my shoes. Then I will let you live tonight." Kevin said with his taunting smile.

"Tsk..." Black shadow still managed to smirk at him. Not showing any fear.

"Just kill me. Begging for your forgiveness and licking your dirty shoes? I prefer to die than do that." Black Shadow finally spoke up.

"Oh, you still have the guts to talk back to me? Your life is in my hands now, Black Shadow? Do you want to keep your pride? You should be praying now. Oh, I forgot. God won't listen to you. You will go straight to hell once I kill you right here and then." The sarcasm was evident in his voice.

Then Kevin charged towards his direction and gave him a hard punch. Black Shadow fell on the ground, facing it. He was in pain but he didn't make any noise.

Because of that, Kevin was enraged. He wanted Black Shadow to cry and shout in pain. So he kicked Black Shadow's leg which was already bleeding due to the gunshot wound.

It was painful but Black Shadow bit his lower lip to suppress his whimper. He won't allow Kevin to hear his shout or cry because of the pain.

'Damn! I'm in a bad situation now. What can I do? There's no way I can contact my team. Kevin will shot me right on the spot. How can I ask them for help now? F*CK. I'm doomed!' Black Shadow was cursing inwardly.

He knew he was at disadvantage now. He had to admit that his life was in Kevin's hands now. He could kill him easily if he wanted to.

The only reason he was not doing that was that he wanted to see Black Shadow suffer more. He could see the hatred in Kevin's eyes. Black Shadow was aware that Kevin was still blaming him for his loss of eyesight. 

He deceived Kevin and Kelsy two years ago. He did that because of Marie. They hurt the woman he loved. They were now even but Kevin was thinking a different thing.

At that certain moment, Marie's lovely face popped up in Black Shadow's mind. He smiled bitterly. He was looking forward to visiting Marie's parents next week. They already planned of introducing him to her parents as Marie's official boyfriend.

'Damn. I'm sorry Love. It seems that I ran out of luck now. Will I still be able to see you after this? I'm really sorry.'

This was what he was afraid of. That someday he would just disappear without a trace. If he would die tonight, then Marie would be left behind, his beloved woman.

Now, Black Shadow was asking himself why things like these were happening. He already decided to start a new life with Marie. For her, he was willing to change. But how can he do that if he would be killed tonight?

'Damn! I messed up tonight. I'm beyond redemption now.' Black Shadow was already losing his hope. 

He knew that his team was already chasing Red Dragon and the Dark Lord. By the time, they arrived there, he was afraid that his cold body would be the one greeting them.

'It looks like I failed tonight as well. Sorry guys. Now, I am leaving everything to all of you.'

Black Shadow closed his eyes. He decided to fight back with his remaining strength. If Kevin would kill him then be it. He was not afraid to die. But he was afraid of leaving Marie behind.

When he was about to make a move, another gunfire was heard in the area.

Bang!

This time that gunfire didn't come from Kevin's pistol but from the newcomer. He shot Kevin in the back, hitting his arm. Kevin dropped his gun on the floor.

They turned around only to see a figure wearing all black matched with a mask. This type of clothing was familiar to the two men. A surprised expression was written all over their faces. Both of them called the newcomer in unison.

Kevin: "Catseye?"

Black Shadow: " Catseye?"

The newcomer didn't respond but showed them a card. It was Catseye's death card.
