Chapter 425 - 425: Be A Witness (1/2)

Saving her life, from that reason alone, I could forget what you did to me and... I could forgive you. Yeah… I already forgave you, James.”

Those last words coming from Erick really surprised James. He didn't expect that he would easily forgive him just because he saved Elle. Now, he understood more why he would never replace Erick in Elle's heart.

Erick was a good person. He didn't bear grudges and take revenge. He was always looking at the positive sides of things. He was also forgiving. If he was in his shoes then he would not easily forgive that someone.

”Thank you, Erick. I hope regardless of what happened, we can still be friends.” James said to him, feeling sincere.

He wanted to get closer to Erick although he's the reason Elle couldn't love him back. He already accepted it. And now, he was trying his best to move on. But he still liked to stay closer with both of them.

”Of course, Elle cared for you as her friend. I also want to be your friend. I owe you so much. I am really grateful for all the help you've given to her.” Erick responded to him.

James smiled and nodded at his remarks. Later on, Erick extended his right hand to James. He wanted to seal their friendship with a handshake. James gladly accepted his hand.

Erick and James had reconciled that day. James had apologized for Erick while Erick had forgiven him. So Elle had nothing to worry about now because those two men closer in her heart also became friends that day.

Both of them had sworn that they would protect Elle no matter what. They would help her in getting justice for her family's death.

The two men just finished their talk when Elle, Mr. Carter, and Spike came out of the front door. Spike was already holding the wooden box that was containing the antidotes.

Mr. Carter also bade them goodbye after introducing himself to James. He still had more works to do. He needed to create more antidotes before Elle and Erick's team would go on a mission, infiltrating the bio-weapon facility.

Even though he didn't ask Erick and Elle for the further detail of that bio-weapon facility, Mr. Carter had already known that they were referring to the bio-weapon facility being operated by the Dark Knight Organization.

The Dark Knight Organization was the only organization that would take a risk of producing bio-weapon in the country. They had the only organization he knew that could hide this operation from the government and law enforcement for more than three decades since they started.

In fact, he worked for them. He was a genius scientist who was involved in the production of bio-weapon that's why he also knew how to make antidotes for those bio-weapons.

The Dark Knight Organization was still looking for him, hunting him for the past 18 years. He went into hiding, trying to survive away from the radar of the Dark Knight Organization.

He couldn't go to the police because the Dark Knight organization had planted people, spies, and accomplices in the law enforcement department. Some even had high ranking positions. He trusted no one because one mistake could jeopardize his safety.

He didn't want to go back to that facility and be a tool for their evil works just like before. He wanted to start a new life but it was near to impossible as long as the Dark Knight Organization was still going stronger and powerful in the underground world. He couldn't guarantee his safety anymore.
