Chapter 173 - His Upset Woman (1/2)

Everything went smoothly that day at Falcon Cafe. Elena got a decent job, met Charles and Phantom who disguised himself as Tom, Charles's father.

Elena was able to blend so well with them. Phantom and Charles did not make things difficult for Elena, instead, they treated her like she belonged with them. She never felt that she was an outsider.

Charles also mentioned to her that they could look and rent a house or apartment near the Cafe but in the meantime, Elena went back to April's apartment. April allowed Elena to stay with her until she found a place.

After Elena left the Cafe, Phantom and Charles went to the secret base as they discussed their plan, targeting those three men whom Elle wanted to collect some debts.

”I heard the news that Carlo Vello is still at large. The cops arrived at his villa but unfortunately, they were not able to catch him there, only his men were captured. Do you think he escapes, Master? I wonder where he runs off to.” Charles said, feeling dejected.

Phantom burst into peals of laughter after hearing his remarks. He tapped Charles's shoulder as he grinned widely at him. Charles gave him a confused look.

”Don't worry about him. He is on our hands now.” Phantom said to him.

”Huh? What do you mean he is on our hands now, Master? I thought we would let the cops handle this case.” Charles asked him quizzically.

”Yeah, we agreed on that. We will let the police attack their businesses and handle their illegal activities but it doesn't mean that we will surrender those three to them without confronting them first. Elle had another plan for those three sc.u.ms.” Phantom explained to him.

”Oh… so what did you do this time Master?”

Phantom smiled at him as he gave him a meaningful glance.

”I caught the mouse and put him in the cage while waiting for the final verdict of our head Cat. We still need to catch the other two. Elle informed me that she will not be able to join our next operation. The detective is very protective of her right now. Not allowing her to leave his eyes.”

Charles nodded at him as he understood the situation. Elle should need to cool down the situation first. They wondered if the detective already confronted her of how she ended up in that place.

They knew that it would not be good if that detective decided to investigate further. It was up to Elle on how she would convince him to forget what happened to her. So as of now, Elle entrusted all the groundwork with Phantom and Charles.

But she would make sure to come and confront those three persons at the right time as they would be slowly destroying them one by one. She would take away the important things to them right now which were money and power. Phantom and Charles were there to back her up and support her.

Phantom already made all the necessary preparations. Yesterday, before the cops arrived at Carlo Vello's Villa, he already succeeded sneaking in. He even saw how mad Carlo Vello was when he saw the news regarding the raid that happened to all five branches of his spa.

Phantom was laughing inwardly just listening to Vello's ranting. He was blaming his police protectors and he thought there were traitors. Unknown to him, everything that happened was done by Elle.

After Carlo Vello dispatched his men to investigate, he was left alone in his study. Phantom found the opportunity to strike. He disguised himself as one of his guards. Phantom entered his study.

”Why are you still here? Did you not hear my order?” Carlo's angry voice greeted Phantom.

”Boss, come with me. I already prepared the car. The cops are on their way here, you should leave and escape.” Phantom replied to him.

Carlo Vello was stunned in a moment after hearing his subordinate. It was impossible for the cops to find his villa because it was his secret headquarter. Unless there was someone who knew about his villa and gave the tips to the cops.

”D*mn traitors!” He cursed again as he immediately stood up and grabbed a bag. He opened his safe and put all his money inside, along with his passports.

Phantom hid his grin as he watched Carlo Vello panicking inside the room. Carlo's mind was very occupied that he did not even suspect the person in front of him. He forgot to ask himself how this subordinate of him knew that the cops were coming.

The mouse fell on the mousetrap that easily. He rushed out of his villa together with Phantom. The moment he went inside the car, Phantom knocked him down and he fell unconscious right away. And just like that, Carlo Vello was kidnapped in his own villa.

Charles could not stop himself but laughed out loud after hearing the story from Phantom. Carlo Vello was a fool. The money he brought was also a bonus treat for them.

A light flashed in his eyes as Elena's lovely face wearing her pure and innocent smile popped up in his mind. 'Great! I could ask Master Phantom for that money. Elena can use it for her studies.' He smiled from that thought.
