Chapter 476 - 476: Answered Prayer?

Fortunately, Mr. Carter was already on the roof by the time the door was opened. 

"What the f*ck? Where did he go? He's not here also!" One member expressed his disappointment when they didn't see Mr. Carter inside.

"Call the surveillance team. Ask them if they are really sure that the scientist didn't leave his house. I'm gonna beat them if they told us the wrong information. The Dark Lord will not be happy if we return to the headquarter without the scientist." The leader of the five elite members spoke up.

One member called the surveillance team who was sent to monitor Mr. Carter. They were the ones standing outside near the black sedan car. They insisted that they were a hundred percent sure that Mr. Carter didn't leave his house today.

"Search the area and find him again. He must be hiding somewhere," The leaders commanded his other comrades. They immediately complied with his command.

The leader was now alone in the attic. He noticed the window. Though it was small, a person could still fit in that small opening. He quickly approached the window. By the time, he reached the window, Mr. Carter was already trying to descend from the roof.

The leader didn't see him because he was already hanging on the post going down. That spot was not visible to the other members who were outside. Now, his only option was to run as fast as he could to leave the place without getting seen by the other Dark Knight members.

Mr. Carter was very cautious with his movement. He did brisk walking then running alternately. When he made sure that no one was looking in his direction, he started to run with all his might. He was already old so he didn't know how far he could run from them at his current state.

Unfortunately, the leader who was still in the attic saw Mr. Carter's running figure from the distance. He noticed him the moment the leader climbed the roof as he passed through that attic's window.

"F*ck. Our target is running away. Go! catch him." 

The leader gave him the direction where he saw Mr. Carter. The Dark Knight's men who were standing outside immediately rode their car to follow Mr. Carter. The five elite members also rushed out of the house and went to their respective cars.

The chase began. Mr. Carter was just running on his feet. It's just a matter of time then they would be able to catch up with him. Mr. Carter heard the screeching sound of the car, fast approaching him.

At that certain moment, he knew that he had given away his location. They saw him.

'Damn! It looks like the mouse will be get caught by the hungry cat this time.' Mr. Carter thought to himself but he refused to give up.

Though he was already tired, panting and sweating heavily, he continued to run as fast as possible. The bad thing was there's no passerby who wanted to let him hitch with their cars. He didn't want to turn around but he knew that the black sedan was already near him.

Mr. Carter was silently praying in his mind, asking for a miracle. He knew that it was impossible but he was still hoping that someone would save him.

*Crash*

He heard a loud crash behind him. When he turned around he saw two cars bumped into each other, the black sedan of the Dark Knight's men and a white pick up. The moment he saw the driver of the white pick-up, he felt like he saw the light ray of his hope. His prayer was answered.

Mr. Lester Morgan aka. Phantom came to his rescue and he was not alone. Two younger men who were riding a motorcycle came to approach him.

"Mr. Carter. Go with them. Let me handle this." Phantom yelled at him. 

Brother Yan stopped in front of Mr. Carter, signaling him to ride at his back. Mr. Carter didn't waste time as he rode the motorcycle.

"Bring him to our hideout. Keep him safe, Yan!" Phantom told Brother Yan. The men inside the black sedan grabbed their guns after they recovered from the impact of the crash. They started shooting in Phantom's direction. Phantom took cover immediately. 

Brother Yan sped off, leaving Phantom and Brother Yu. His priority was to keep Mr. Carter safe. He should him with his life. This was the order from Phantom. Brother Yu started firing at the Dark Knight's men as well.

Phantom took that chance to ride at the back of Brother Yu. He would leave the white pick-up. It would help them delay the Dark Knight as it was blocking their way. He saw the other black sedan cars approaching their location.

"Yu, let's leave now. Let's make sure that they will not be able to catch up with Yan and Mr. Carter," Phantom told Brother Yu.

Phantom was the one who was firing at their enemies. Brother Yu started to drive the motorcycle, leaving that place.

"There are so many of them, Master. What shall we do now? They might catch up with us?" Brother Yu asked Phantom with a concerned voice.

Brother Yu felt Phatom patting his back to reassure him. "Don't worry, your sister, Elle, already called for back-ups." Phantom grinned widely after saying that.

"Back-ups? From Skull Gang?" Brother Yu asked with intrigue.

Phantom let out a husky laugh before answering Brother Yu's query. "Not them, remember, today we are running in the broad daylight. It's not good to involve the Skull Gang."

"Your sister has a stronger back-up in this kind of situation," Phantom said to him meaningfully.

Then it did not take long when they heard the sound of the police car's siren. four police cars suddenly following them. The two cars were already escorting Brother Yan and Mr. Carter.

Brother Yu chuckled when he saw those patrol cars. He finally got what Master Phantom was referring to. "It's Chief Detective Lee. He is the strong back-up of Sister Elle."

Phantom also chuckled. "Yeah. My Son-in-law!"
