Chapter 38 - 38: Mr Detective was Upset (1/2)

Elle made sure that Dark Knight and Skull Gang completely left the place before she came out from her hiding place.

She looked at her ruined place. She just shook her head. She didn't imagine that she would sacrifice her place just like that for the sake of an idiot guy like Charles. If she hadn't injured and had her weapon with her she would just killed all those intruders.

She went inside the underground secret bas.e.m.e.nt. When she entered, Charles came running towards her. He was really happy to see her. He was about to hug Elle because of his excitement when Elle stopped him and suddenly hit him in the head.

”Ouch!” Charles grunted.

”That was for my ruined place.” she said then she hit him again. Charles grunted again.

”And that one is for dragging me here.”

Charles looked at her with a puppy eyes while saying ”Thank you for saving me!”

Elle ignored him and walked towards her weapons. She picked them one by one. She missed them so much, her daggers, her gun and every weapons in that bas.e.m.e.nt.

”I will give you one two days. Find me a new place and transfer all this items here.” Elle spoke to Charles.

Charles nodded ”Copy Madam! I will surely find you a much more better house.”

”Elle, I was really amazed. I stayed here at your place but I didn't know that you have such a sophisticated security system.I really thought that I was gonna die tonight!”

”I don't have time right now. I need to go now. Let's talk about this another day.” She was glad that Charles was okay.

'I thought he was a clumsy guy but he is more than capable. He escaped from our enemies unscratch. I was worried for nothing.' Elle smiled from that thought.

She walked towards the exit and then she spoke again ”Be careful. Don't let this happen again. If you do, I will kill you myself!” She warned him and gave him a sharp glare before she finally walked out from the bas.e.m.e.nt.

”Hmm, She just not wanted to admit but I know she was worried at me. Haha” He mumbled to himself as he glanced at the retreating back of Elle. He was smiling foolishly.

Meanwhile at Erick's Place....

Erick was sitting on the Balcony with his eyes closed and his one hand was on his forehead.

Bryan was silently looking at him on the side.

After he left the headquarter, he went straight to Erick's place. He didn't spotted Elle from those street cameras.

”Erick I think you should changed first. You're bathing with your sweats. You might get sick. Pneumonia case is rampant these days.” Bryan said with a concerned voice. He knew Erick searched for Elle in the entire city but unfortunately he couldn't find her.

Erick didn't respond to him. He just stayed still in his position. Bryan didn't know how to deal with him. This was the first time he had seen Erick acted like this.

The silent atmosphere was too deafening. Bryan could just only pray for Elle to return and it was answered immediately.

After a while, someone arrived and walked towards the balcony.
