Chapter 318 - 318: White Room (2/2)

Black Shadow let out another chuckle before putting his hand over her palm.

”Gift?” Black Shadow asked her

Marie bobbed her head as a response.

”Here is your gift…” Black Shadow mumbled before pulling her against his body and wrapped her into a warm embrace.

Marie was stunned for a moment. Her heart was acting abnormal again, beating loudly and rapidly inside her chest.

She had not yet recovered from the dazed when Black Shadow lowered his head, planting a kiss on her forehead.

”This is my gift. Do you like it?” She heard him whisper in her ear.

'Sh!t. I think I'm gonna suffer from a heart attack because of this guy. So shameless!' Marie thought to herself, a blush creeping over her cheeks.

”Happy Birthday!” Black Shadow mumbled once again. He pulled her closer, hugging her tightly.

Marie hugged him back and said, ”Thank you.”

'I really like it… your gift.' Marie added in her thoughts.

On that same night, while the members of the joint task force were having some fun there was someone who was suffering in agony.

In a certain white room, there was a middle- aged guy being restrained by metal cuffs, in the center, both his feet and arms stretched out forming an X pattern in a standing position.

He was not alone in that room. There was someone with him who was wearing all black. That person's face was covered by Black Mask. The figure in black was holding a dagger tainted by blood.

The middle-aged man started begging once again with his hoarse and tired voice.

”Please… let me go. I-I already told you everything I know about what happened before…”

”I am telling the truth… I don't know who gave us the order to attack the Falcon Family… we were just following our leader… Alfonso.”

The man started to cry, begging the man in black non-stop. ”Please… don't kill me… you already tortured me for three days now… It hurts… It's really painful…”

Then a sinister laugh echoed inside the room.

”Beg as much as you want. But you will never leave this place alive… I am not done yet with you.”

”Do you want to know… what I am thinking right now?”

”NO...NO… PLEASE STOP! DON'T KILL ME! I am begging you. Who are you? Why are you doing this to me? What is your connection with the Falcon family?” Roland Bienvenido screamed hysterically while begging desperately.

Another sinister laughter reverberated in the entire room. That sounds intensified the fear that Roland Bienvenido was feeling as of this moment. He felt like he was facing a living devil. This person had no mercy… ruthless and vicious.

”Tsk tsk tsk… Dear Roland… I came here to collect your debts.”

”Oh by the way… I really loved to hear you screaming like that. It makes me more excited. Oh… and my bloodthirst… you are the only one who could satisfy that.”

”No! No! Please spare my life.”

”Just endure this… a little bit more dear. You should be glad… you are my first victim as I announce to the world that Catseye is back!”

”W-What do you mean??? C-Catseye? Y-You are Catseye… but Catseye was already dead… how could you be Catseye?” Roland stuttered because of intense fear and nervousness.

The figure in black merely smiled but didn't respond. The man approached Roland in an instant, thrusting the dagger in his stomach.

”Arghhh!” Roland squealed in pain as he felt the dagger being plunged inside his body.

”Catseye is alive! Time to make the world know that Catseye has returned! Hahahaha!”

Roland Bienvenido's cries and screams echoed in the entire white room… it lasted for several hours until finally, his voice was no longer heard. He died… with a very tragic death in that white room.
