Chapter 514 - 514: Admit Defeat

"General Jason… it's not too late to right the wrong. Help us bring down the Dark Knight Organization. The Dark Lord should also pay for his crime. He is the root for all of this," Erick said, convincing General Jason.

General Jason didn't say any words. He was just looking at Erick with complex emotions on his face. His hand was still bleeding. But he could feel the pain in his heart more than his wound.

He was the one who made this choice. He chose this path. In return, he lost everything. General Jason just took a deep breath, lowering his gaze. He had to admit defeat today.

Meanwhile, April and Rose who were both still crying in the office already called Officer Kim's team. They were now on the way to the location along with the ambulance. They would be the ones to take General Jason's accomplices to the precinct and further investigate them.

Most of them were also police officers who served as spies of the Dark Knight Organization. Erick signaled Carl to arrest General Jason. Carl picked up his handcuffs as he walked over.

He recited the Miranda Warning as he was restraining General Jason's hand. It felt strange saying those words to a person close to you, your fellow law enforcement officer, your comrade, and your friend.

"You have the right to remain silent and refuse to answer questions. Anything you say may be used against you in a court of law. You have the right to consult an attorney before speaking to the police and to have an attorney present during questioning now or in the future."

Every word seemed like daggers stabbing his heart right now. Carl, Bryan, and Erick felt the same way. General Jason didn't struggle anymore. He just followed Carl as they brought him to their car. 

But before leaving his spot, he glanced in Elle's direction for one last time. Their eyes met but no one spoke up. Elle knew in her heart that she could not forgive him for what he had done to her father and her family.

Erick immediately engulfed Elle in his arms, kissing her head. He was worried about her and their child. He just felt relieved now that she's in his arms.

"What are you thinking? Why did you do that? Argh… you are giving me a heart attack," Erick complained and nagged at her, hugging and squeezing her in his arms.

"I'm sorry, hubby. I didn't mean to make you worry," Elle said apologetically, biting her lower lip.

Phantom also approached Elle. He patted Elle's head and said, "You are a strong and brave woman. Well done, daughter. Well done."

After hearing that compliment from Phantom, Elle couldn't help but shed some tears. She suddenly became emotional. All her anger, sadness, and pain, she needed to cry to pour out all her negative emotions to feel better.

"If I could just turn back time… If I could just…" Elle was crying in Erick's chest. Phantom and Erick were there comforting her. They just let her cry.

Bryan and June who were both watching them on the sideline also teared up. They felt sorry for Elle. She suffered too much during her childhood. Now they understood how she ended up being an assassin. They agreed with Phantom. She was indeed a strong and brave woman.

It did not take long when James together with Charles, Black Shadow and Brother Lu arrived. Phantom called them. They needed to secure and accompany Elle. They still had another mission to do: to chase Alfonso's team and rescue Mr. Carter.

Brother Yu's Team, and Spike's team together with Brother yan and Sherlock were now chasing after Alfonso's team. Phantom mobilized them the moment Alfonso's team left the location.

Since Erick's team was just around, they didn't let Black Shadow left the car. Charles, Brother Lu, and James were the only ones who were allowed to come out of the van.

When Elle stopped crying, Phantom and Erick talked to her.

"Wifey, Father, and I still need to chase after Alfonso. You should stay with James and others," Erick softly said to her, caressing her face while wiping her tears.

Elle understood her situation. She's pregnant right now and she couldn't join them in this mission.

"Leave this to us, Elle. I will make sure that Alfonso will pay for what he had done to our family," Phantom reassured Elle.

Elle nodded her head. She hugged both men. "Father, Erick… both of you… please be careful," she said with her worried voice.

The two men just gave her a gentle smile. Soon, Erick guided her to James. James immediately hugged Elle. He was worried sick about her. Thank God, she was safe now! Nothing bad happened to her.

After they broke apart, Charles and Brother Lu also hugged Elle. She was touched as she could see that many people were concerned about her. She didn't expect that despite her past she still had people caring about her so much.

June also approached her. He was still shocked after knowing that Elle was alive. "Welcome back, Elle."

Elle smiled at him. "Thanks, Agent June."

"See you later, Elle," Bryan said cheerfully. June and Erick would accompany Erick and Phantom in chasing after Alfonso's team.

The moment Officer Kim and his team arrived, Phantom, Erick, and Erick's team left the location to follow the other group. Phantom received a message from Brother Yu, telling him that they were able to catch up with Alfonso's team.

The ambulance also arrived. Officer Kim and others would escort the injured men to the hospital. They would need to treat their wounds first before they could arrest them for interrogation. 

Every one of them would be investigated, especially their connection to the Dark Knight Organization. Rose and April already gave Officer Kim a brief overview of the situation. He was also surprised when he learned General Jason's involvement with the Dark Knight Organization.

Officer Kim also asked Elle about the kidnapping incident. James, Charles, and Brother Lu didn't leave her, making her feel safe in their presence.

Inside the black van, there's one person sulking in the backseat. Black Shadow was wearing a gloomy expression.

'Why am I not allowed to go out? I feel like I am a prisoner here. I want to see and to talk to my Kitten already. What took them so long. Sigh, Can I just put on a mask and get out of here?" Black Shadow complained to himself.
