Chapter 129 - 129: Command Kill Order (2/2)

Captain Jason was so determined to catch Catseye.

”I felt something was off in everything that is happening right now. Is this just a coincidence?” Bryan had his doubt but he could not pinpoint it.

”Black Shadow is also a member of that guild. He is the one who tried to hunt Catseye.”

”He was even successful in discovering her identity but why Catseye did not do anything about him?”

”Why Reaper? Why challenged the Assassin's Guild? Catseye did not cross the line between her and that guild for a long time, why do it now?”

Everyone was consumed by their own thoughts thinking of the possible reasons why Catseye has done this.

But to their disappointment, they could not think of anything. It seemed like they were solving a very complicated puzzle and they did not have any clue.

Meanwhile...

Charles also learned the news about the Command Kill Order issued by the Assassin's Guild.

”Master Phantom, what we gonna do now? There is a high price given for Elle's head. Assassins will really hunt her down.” Charles sounded very worried and distressed.

Phantom narrowed his eyes as he also felt bothered by this news. They already knew that this would be the aftermath of last night's incident.

”What is done is already done. We can't undo the past. Besides, Elle already knew the consequence of her action and I know she already prepared herself about this.”

”Let us wait for Elle. We will make a plan together.”

'I wonder what is happening right now on her end. I hope that she was just doing well.' Phantom could not help himself but worry about Elle.

In the Hospital...

Elle did not leave Erick's parents. They took turns of watching Erick in the ICU.

She could not sleep... or should we say, Elle did not want to sleep. She was just waiting for Erick to wake up.

Elle was just observing on the side as Sarah was talking to unconscious Erick. She was holding Erick's hand.

”Son... Mom is here. Elle is here also. If you don't wake up soon, other guys might snatch away your beautiful girlfriend.”

Elle let out a soft chuckle after hearing Sarah. Sarah turned to look at Elle.

”Hmm... am I right dear?”

Elle gave her a gentle smile. ”Mom... don't threaten Erick like that. Do you think he will wake up if you do that?”

”Yes... I am really threatening him right now. I know he could hear us. The doctor said talking to the patient is proven effective.”

”And I know my son will wake up soon if he knew that some guys are trying to take away his girlfriend from him.”

Elle just smiled at her. She remembered that Erick could easily be jealous of other men whom she was close with.

”Hmm... try talking to him also dear. You can tell him anything you want.”

”Okay, Mom... I will do that also, but not now. Don't worry Mom, once Erick wakes up, I will teach him a lesson for making us worry too much.”

This time, it was Sarah who broke into peals of laughter.

”I wonder what punishment you will give my son Elle. Please be easy on him. He is still a patient after all.”

”Hmm... got it, Mom. Since it is you who requested me that then I shall give him the sweetest punishment ever.” Elle winked at her.

”Did you hear that son?! Are you excited about Elle's punishment that she will give you? So wake up now.” Sarah turned to look at Erick as she touched his face.

The two women were still laughing when Raymond entered the room. He was glad to see them laughing despite everything that happened.

”Oh Dear... you are here,” Sarah said as soon as she noticed her husband's presence.

”Yeah, I have talked to his doctor. He said once Erick wakes up we can transfer him in the private room.”

”Mom, Dad, I think you should take a rest for a while. I know you were exhausted from that long drive last night.”

”Mom, Dad go home for now and take a nap. I will watch over Erick.”

”Okay dear... we will be back this evening.”

Soon, the husband and wife went home. Elle was left in the hospital to watch over Erick.

Minutes later, Elle's phone vibrated. She received a message from Phantom.

[ Assassin's Guild makes their move. They issued a Command Kill Order to hunt you. ]

[ They released a mission worth 500 Billion for your head. ]

[ Be careful from now on. We will talk further about this when you come back. ]

After reading the message, her lips curled up into a smile.

”This old man is worrying too much. I already expected this to happen.”

Then Elle averted her gaze to the handsome face of Erick who was still unconscious. She slid her hand into his.

'I never regretted it, knowing that I have done this for you. They can come at me any time but the thing I can't tolerate is that they will hurt someone important to me. I will not hesitate to kill them.'

Elle leaned over to give Erick a kiss on his forehead and she whispered something to him.

”I like you too Mr. Detective... I love you, Erick.”
