Chapter 472 - 472: Order to Capture the Scientist

After telling Supremo when and where to do the exchange, the Dark Lord gave a signal to Alfonso to hang up the phone. He was now in a good mood. It seemed that capturing Black Shadow helped them to retrieve the stolen bio-weapons.

The Dark Lord couldn't believe that Supremo let his emotion ruin their plan. It was a bright idea to use the government's power to bring down the Dark Knight Organization. 

He didn't anticipate that action coming from them but because they wanted to save their comrade, Supremo personally revealed it to the Dark Lord.

Now, the Dark Lord could plan out a countermeasure for that plan. They only had to hang on until the presidential election. Once the person from the Dark Knight would win the election then they didn't need to worry anymore about the government.

The National Election will happen three months from now. They just needed to hide their facilities away from the radar of the Skull Gang. 

Soon, the Skull Gang won't be able to use the power and influence of the government to bring down the Dark Knight Organization. It's just a matter of time for that to happen.

"You're a lucky fellow, Black Shadow. What did you do to make the Supreme Leader of Skull Gang care for you this much?" The Dark Lord spoke to him with amazement.

Black Shadow chuckled. "Hmm. I bewitched him with my overflowing charisma!" Black Shadow responded with so much pride and confidence.

Dark Lord: "..."

Kelsy: "..."

Alfonso: "..."

Black Shadow was also in a bright mood now. He was touched by Supremo's protection. He made sure that Black would remain unharmed and alive.

'I want to shower James a lot of kisses!' Black Shadow thought to himself, rejoicing and smiling from ear to ear like a fool.

Though Kelsy was surprised because of the turn of events, she felt relieved now since the Dark Lord would not harm Black Shadow. She was also a little bit sad because Black Shadow would continue working for the Skull Gang.

Kelsy wanted him to come back to Assassin Guild or even just work with them under the Dark Knight. She wanted to get Black Shadow's attention and win his heart once again. She didn't want Black Shadow to love other women aside from her.

Kelsy's face darkened as she remembered Marie. She's the reason why Black Shadow betrayed them. She wanted to get rid of Marie but she couldn't find the right opportunity to do that. She was well-guarded. 

She wondered if Black Shadow had something to do with this. But she swore to herself that she would definitely kill her once she got the chance.

The Dark Lord ordered Kelsy to bring Black Shadow to his room while he asked Alfonso to call their elite fighters. He had a mission for them.

When Kelsy and Black Shadow left, the Dark Lord talked to his men. They were the five elite fighters of the Dark Knight.

"Gud evening, our Lord, We are here to listen to your command," One of them spoke up, greeting the Dark Lord politely.

"Yeah, I summon you here because I have an important task for the five of you," the Dark Lord said.

"Tell us and we will fulfill it for you, our Lord," Another one responded. The five of them were kneeling in front of him as they listened to him.

"I think this is the right time to bring back the genius scientist. I need him to make more antidotes for the bio-weapons. With those antidotes, I can control this government and rule the world! So catch him and bring him here." The Dark Lord gave them his command.

"This is noted, our Lord."

"Tomorrow, we will launch a surprise attack in his hideout."

"We will bring him here!"

"Good. I trust you. I hope you will not disappoint me. He is just an old man now. I believe you can easily catch him," The Dark Lord said, putting his trust on them.

"Cooperate with the men who were monitoring him secretly," he added.

Then he turned to Alfonso. "Gave them five antidotes."

Alfonso's eyes widened after hearing that. They had few supplies of antidotes. Why suddenly the Dark Lord is asking him to give these men a million-dollar-antidote?

As if the Dark Lord had read his mind, he spoke again and explained.

"We never knew the Scientist might use bio-weapon against his attackers to protect himself. They need to have a ready-made antidote so that there will be a high success rate for this mission. They don't need to drink the antidotes. They should just drink it if ever that genius will use bio-weapon against them."

"Ok my Lord, I got it. I will send someone to get five antidotes for them." Alfonso responded before leaving them to call his assistant.

"Thank you so much our Lord for thinking about our well-being," One of the fighters expressed his gratitude towards the Dark Lord.

The Dark Lord just remained silent. 'Eh, Am I being influenced now by the Supremo?' He just laughed inwardly at that thought.

"Alright! Just do it right! I will not accept failure for this mission. Is that clear?" The Dark Lord reminded them.

"Yes, our Lord!" The five of them answered in unison. They knew the consequence once they failed a mission. They couldn't afford to make the Dark Lord upset or else, it meant sufferings for them.

Meanwhile, in the Skull Gang Headquarters, James was also talking to Elle. Spike and Brother Yu already left to give them privacy. They just finished planning for their next move.

"Thanks, Elle. Your plan helps me a lot. You are not supposed to be here. It's already late at night. Erick will be concerned about your health and the baby's health," James said with his concerned voice.

"It's alright. Black Shadow is my friend too. I want to help. Don't worry about Erick. He understands everything." Elle paused for a moment and looked straight into his eyes. 

"James, I'm sorry but I already told Erick about the Skull Gang. He knew already about your connections with the Skull Gang." Elle apologized to James.

James just gave him a faint smile before gently patting her head. "It's okay. I understand. No need to apologize."

"You are not mad at me?" Elle asked him anxiously.

James chuckled and said, "You are overthinking. Of course not. I am not mad at you! I know you did that so that you could be here with us. You need to explain to Erick that's why you have no other choice but to tell him the whole truth."

"Yeah, you are right. Thank you, James. Don't worry. Erick will not do anything against the Skull Gang," Elle reassured him.

"Yeah, I know. You made sure of that. That's why I'm not worried at all. I trust you. Elle. I trust you a lot." James said with so much sincerity in his every word.

Elle couldn't help but smile after hearing that. "You trust me so much that you even chose to listen to me rather than your subordinates." She remembered how Supremo supported her when the other branch leaders of the Skull Gang opposed her suggestion.

James just smiled at her. In his mind, he was thinking, 'Because you are my Queen. You will always be my Queen.'
