Chapter 82 - 82: The Spy (1/2)
At a certain Club where group of assassins often gathered....
Black Shadow was silently drinking, alone in an isolated table inside the club. One of the assassins noticed his presence. He decided to approach him.
”Hey Black! Long time no see brother.” He sat down beside him and wrapped his arm around Black Shadow's shoulder.
Black Shadow grunt from pain since the man had touched his not yet recovered wound. Black Shadow glared at the man beside him and he removed that man's arms from his shoulder.
The man gave him a confused look.
”Oh! So the rumor was true! You have been hurt?” The man let out a chuckle. ”Black who did this to our most skilled brother?” the man added.
Black Shadow's expression darkened as he remembered how he was shot and got stab by James Arison because of Catseye's doing.
”It's Catseye.” Black Shadow mumbled as he gritted his teeth. The man was shocked upon hearing Catseye's name.
”So it is true that the secret mission that you accepted was related to Catseye? You are hunting him down?” the man whispered to him afraid that someone else might heard them. Black Shadow just nodded and he spoke up to correct him.”It is her not him. Catseye is a woman!”
The man chuckled again looking at him with amus.e.m.e.nt and disbelief ”So it was also true that the rumor that Catseye is a woman came from you? Have you really seen her face? How did she look? Is she ugly? Does she have some scars in the face that is why she didn't show it?”
Black Shadow paused after hearing his question. ”Your assumption is wrong. Catseye is a true example of a beauty.” Black Shadow smirked at him.
The man laughed out loud. ”Are you really serious? How sure are you? Can you describe her to me? I really want to know.”
”She has an alluring black eyes. Once you look at her it seems like you are being hypnotize.” Black Shadow describe her eyes since it was the only vivid memory he had about Catseye before he was knocked down.
”Ahem, Are you already under her spell? Have you been charmed by your mortal enemy? Have you change your mind about catching her?” The man teased him.
A michievous smile appeared on his face. ”Of course not! I am now more motivated to catch her.”
The man patted his head ”Congrats Black! You discovered Catseye's true identity. And good luck in catching her. It is really difficult to deal with a devil like her. Be careful!” the man warned him.
”Hmm, we are now even. Let's see who will score in our next encounter.” Black Shadow smiled cunningly.
”However, did you know that Catseye is still inactive? She didn't accepted any mission for quite some time now. That's why we have so many job opportunities right now. Her silence is advantageous for us. What do you think is she planning to do?” he asked Black Shadow.
Black Shadow just shook his head. He didn't have any idea. He was also wondering why Catseye didn't move until now. The last time she moved was during her surprise visit at Arison Holdings main office. After that she became idle again.
Unknown to the two men who were still having deep thoughts about Catseye, there was a pair of eyes already watching them from afar since they entered the club. It was Marie. She was drinking a c.o.c.ktail at the counter. She went undercover again and spying was her expertise in the field.
Marie was just waiting for the right time and right opportunity to get near and approach Black Shadow without raising any suspicion. She took her 3 days and 3 nights before she was able to gather an intel and relevant information about black shadow.
Since Catseye was still untraceable, they changed their strategy and plan. They would find her through indirect method and Black Shadow was their target this time.
When she saw Black Shadow stood up and seemed like he was going to the comfort room, Marie also stood up and brought her c.o.c.ktail drinks with her.
She was planning to intentionally bump Black Shadow so that she could able to interact with him. She was wearing a dress tonight and did a make over for tonight's mission having the thought that pretty girls were always the weakness of men.
And Marie's plan was successful. She bumped to Black Shadow in the hallway going to the comfort room. She almost fell from that collision but fortunately Black Shadow acted fast and was able to hold her waist.
Black Shadow was now staring the her. Marie flashed her sweetest smile and spoke to him.
”I am sorry for that and thank you for catching me. I really thought I am gonna fall.” Marie pointed his clothes which was not stained by the c.o.c.ktail drink that spilled when they bumped into each other.
