Chapter 366 - 366: Flashback 2 (1/2)

«{ FLASHBACK: 2 Years Ago… }»

Thirty minutes after M.V Athena exploded, Spike called James, informing him about the incident that happened at South Carolina's Coast.

Spike told him everything about the encounter between Catseye and the Joint Task Force against the Azumi Twins and the Dark Knight Organization.

James and Spike were talking over the phone.

”Boss… I am afraid to tell you but… Catseye was killed in that encounter.” Spike said to him anxiously, worrying about his Boss's reaction.

There was a moment of complete silence when Spike said that.

After only God knew how long, James's voice was heard again from the other line.

”Come again? What did you say?” He heard it clearly but James was in denial.

”Catseye died in this mission,” Spike said as he rephrased his words.

Thud!

The phone slid on his hand as his grasp loosened after hearing the bad news.

James felt miserable at that time. He couldn't believe it. He chose not to believe it.

”No way! She's not dead! She's not!”

After he recovered his wits from that shocking news, James picked up his phone again as he gave his command to Spike.

”Get me the fastest speedboat at South Carolina asap! I'm going there myself to confirm if that news is true.

'I need to see her! This is not true. Elle is alive. She must…' James thought to himself as he rushed out of his study, grabbing his car keys and jacket.

It only took him a ten-minute drive to reach his destination. Spike was very efficient. He was already there with the speedboat, waiting for James's arrival.

They soon departed from the port and went straight to the location where M.V Athena exploded and sank. Coastguards were also there, conducting both rescue and retrieval operations.

As if it was heaven's will, James was the one who found Lu and Elle, floating just kilometers away from the shore. Lu looked very exhausted and already weak when they found them.

Elle was still unconscious and barely alive. Fortunately, Lu succeeded in stopping her bleeding. Her gunshot wounds were not severe and critical. But the main concern was the effect of the toxin on the body of his Lady Boss.

Lu was already exposed to it that's why he felt so weak now. Then his prayer was answered. He was glad that someone found them. He waved his hand to the speedboat approaching them.

James felt relieved the moment he saw Elle. He knew it. She was still alive. Without thinking, James jumped onto the water to personally get her. But Lu immediately stopped him.
