Chapter 496 - 496: Flashback: 18 Years Ago (1/2)

”WHAT?!! Who dares kidnap my Kitten?! I will kill them.” Black Shadow suddenly burst out.

Spike: ”...”

Sherlock: ”...”

Phantom: ”...”

Others: ”...”

James massaged the space between his brows and said, ”Black, you are in no condition to kill someone right now. Recover first.” James said, emphasizing that Black Shadow was still an injured man.

Then suddenly Erick's voice was also heard inside the room.

”When did my wife become your Kitten?” Erick asked Black Shadow with disbelief then he turned to Spike. ”And your Queen?”

Black Shadow was taken aback by Erick's sharp gaze. But he still managed to answer him.

”She's Catseye. So there's a cat in her alias so I called her Kitten.” Black Shadow explained to Erick.

Spike also spoke up. ”She's Supremo's fiancee so we call her our Queen.”

James squinted his eyes at Spike. He knew that Erick won't be happy to hear that.

Brother Yu and Brother Yan exchanged meaningful glances with each other, thinking about one thing.

'Why do I smell some vinegar here?'

Phantom decided to interfere. ”Son, this is not the proper time to get jealous. We have to plan out how to rescue my daughter. We need to confirm first if the Dark Knight Organization is the one responsible for this.”

”I know, Father. I'm not jealous,” Erick said, denying it.

”Okay, let's wait. If my guess is right then I think the culprit might call you. Since they didn't know her real identity I could tell that this action was related to Erick,” Phantom said, deducing the real motive of this incident.

Everyone sat down inside the conference room, waiting for the culprits to call Erick. His phone was placed on the table. Everyone was silent, focusing their taxes on the phone. Thirty minutes had passed but no one called him yet.

Then the door of the conference room was opened. Three people emerged from it. They were Brother Ling, Charles, and Brother Lu.

Phantom stood up, frowning at them. ”Why are you all here?”

Brother Ling was the one assigned by Phantom to take care of Charles and Brother Lu in Dr. Clara's clinic.

But instead of answering Phantom, Charles asked him. ”Master, is it true? Elle was taken as a hostage? Someone kidnapped her?”

Charles's face was painted with worries and concerns for Elle, the same with Brother Lu's expression.

”Master, my sister Elle… Is she okay? I… I want to do something. I want to rescue my Lady Boss.” Brother Lu said in his weak voice.

Phantom massaged his temples. These two were not supposed to be there. They were supposed to recuperate and rest in the clinic.

Phantom could tell that they heard the news from Brother Ling.

”Master, I'm sorry. Brother Charles and Brother Lu threw a tantrum a while ago, threatening me. They wanted to see you, that's why I brought them here,” Brother Ling apologized to Phantom.

Brother Yan and Brother Yu just looked at Brother Ling helplessly, pitying him because they knew that Charles and Brother Lu might have given him a hard time so that he would succ.u.mb to their wishes.

It did not take long when another person came inside. It was Mr. Carter.

”I've heard the news. How's Elle? Did they contact you already?”

Everyone shook their heads as a response to his query.
