Chapter 140 - Chapter: Right Time (2/2)

”The police agent who almost caught me.” A light flashed in Phantom's eyes, as he looked at Elle meaningfully.

There were still a lot of things that Phantom had not yet share with Elle since she was avoiding any topics related to everything that happened in her past.

He was just waiting for the right time... waiting for Elle to ask him herself.

Once Elle was ready, Phatom was willing to tell her everything that he knew which was related to Elle's life in the past.

At Assassin's Guild Headquarter...

One hour, after the incident happened in one of the Assassin's Guild secret headquarters, the president and other Third level assassins including Black Shadow arrived.

The body of their dead comrade who was killed again by Catseye was already removed and the venue was already clean, clear from bloodstains.

Other assassins who were present there had not yet recovered from shock and fear.

”What's wrong with your faces? Can someone tell me the whole story of what had transpired here?” The president said with his stern cold voice.

Chilly glints flashed through other assassin's eyes as they looked at Black Shadow. Black Shadow was puzzled because of the strange gaze they were giving him.

”This is happening to our guild because of Black Shadow.” One of the third level assassins who was present at that time spoke up.

Black Shadow raised his right brow. ”What do you mean by that?” He did not like the way this man was accusing him.

”Catseye told us everything. It was you who provoked her first.” Another assassin shared his thought.

”Catseye never touch any members of Assassin's guild before. This time, she could not tolerate you anymore. You attacked her first.”

The president intervened ”Why are you believing her instead of your brother? Catseye was just an outsider.”

Black Shadow sneered at them ”Don't blame me because of your lack of capability. You are just afraid of her. Coward!”

”There's a lot of you here but you have done nothing, watching your brother being killed.” Black Shadow shook his head.

”It was not our fault. We did not know her. We had mistaken her as a new recruit.”

”Reasons... reasons are only for those fools like you.” Black Shadow said at them mockingly. They were fuming in anger because of Black Shadow's insult.

”Stop fighting already! This is what Catseye wants, creating a stir among brothers.” The president scolded them.

They stopped arguing and controlled themselves since the president was there.

”So, can anyone tell us now what happened here?” The president asked them again.

The messenger was the one who spoke up this time giving the president an overview of what happened.

”We were in the middle of releasing mission when someone hacked our systems. Catseye's death card appeared on the screen.”

”Someone communicated with us through our system. We thought the one talking was Catseye but we had mistaken.”

”She easily entered our secret base and blended with the assassins. They were able to fool us that there was a bomb.”

”No signal, the elevator malfunctioned, CCTV stopped recording and the worst of all, Catseye had the list of our members.”

”She killed one assassin. This was her warning for going after her. The majority of assassins refused to accept the mission regarding Catseye.”

”What is our next plan President?” The messenger asked him after he finished supplying him with information.

”A bunch of cowards.” Black Shadow could not help himself but mumble. He looked at them with disbelief, feeling disappointed.

The president just sighed in defeat. Catseye was successful in frightening the members.

”Alright, we had no choice if they don't want to accept the mission. We cannot force them.”

”Besides, there are still elite assassins who are interested in this mission, including you Black Shadow, am I right?”

”Yes, president.” He promptly said.

”But still we need to talk about something.” He wanted to confirm whether what Catseye had said was true.

”Sure.”

”Proceed to my office after this.” He ordered him. Black Shadow just nodded.

After that, he faced the other assassins who were waiting for his instruction.

”My dear brothers and sisters, since this already happened we could not do something to change it. What we could do now is to be more careful next time.”

”This place will no longer be used as our headquarter. We will change our venue in releasing missions.”

”It seems like Catseye is also a good hacker so we will strengthen our security system and make sure that this will not happen again.”

”This is all for today. Mission releasing will be rescheduled. We will inform everyone of the final date.”

'Catseye is very skilled. Too bad, she did not join our guild.' The president thought to himself before she left the place.
