Chapter 82 - 82: The Spy

At a certain Club where group of assassins often gathered....

Black Shadow was silently drinking, alone in an isolated table inside the club. One of the assassins noticed his presence. He decided to approach him.

"Hey Black! Long time no see brother." He sat down beside him and wrapped his arm around Black Shadow's shoulder.

Black Shadow grunt from pain since the man had touched his not yet recovered wound. Black Shadow glared at the man beside him and he removed that man's arms from his shoulder.

The man gave him a confused look.

"Oh! So the rumor was true! You have been hurt?" The man let out a chuckle. "Black who did this to our most skilled brother?" the man added.

Black Shadow's expression darkened as he remembered how he was shot and got stab by James Arison because of Catseye's doing.

"It's Catseye." Black Shadow mumbled as he gritted his teeth. The man was shocked upon hearing Catseye's name.

"So it is true that the secret mission that you accepted was related to Catseye? You are hunting him down?" the man whispered to him afraid that someone else might heard them. Black Shadow just nodded and he spoke up to correct him."It is her not him. Catseye is a woman!"

The man chuckled again looking at him with amus.e.m.e.nt and disbelief "So it was also true that the rumor that Catseye is a woman came from you? Have you really seen her face? How did she look? Is she ugly? Does she have some scars in the face that is why she didn't show it?"

Black Shadow paused after hearing his question. "Your assumption is wrong. Catseye is a true example of a beauty." Black Shadow smirked at him.

The man laughed out loud. "Are you really serious? How sure are you? Can you describe her to me? I really want to know."

"She has an alluring black eyes. Once you look at her it seems like you are being hypnotize." Black Shadow describe her eyes since it was the only vivid memory he had about Catseye before he was knocked down.

"Ahem, Are you already under her spell? Have you been charmed by your mortal enemy? Have you change your mind about catching her?" The man teased him.

A michievous smile appeared on his face. "Of course not! I am now more motivated to catch her."

The man patted his head "Congrats Black! You discovered Catseye's true identity. And good luck in catching her. It is really difficult to deal with a devil like her. Be careful!" the man warned him.

"Hmm, we are now even. Let's see who will score in our next encounter." Black Shadow smiled cunningly.

"However, did you know that Catseye is still inactive? She didn't accepted any mission for quite some time now. That's why we have so many job opportunities right now. Her silence is advantageous for us. What do you think is she planning to do?" he asked Black Shadow.

Black Shadow just shook his head. He didn't have any idea. He was also wondering why Catseye didn't move until now. The last time she moved was during her surprise visit at Arison Holdings main office. After that she became idle again.

Unknown to the two men who were still having deep thoughts about Catseye, there was a pair of eyes already watching them from afar since they entered the club. It was Marie. She was drinking a c.o.c.ktail at the counter. She went undercover again and spying was her expertise in the field.

Marie was just waiting for the right time and right opportunity to get near and approach Black Shadow without raising any suspicion. She took her 3 days and 3 nights before she was able to gather an intel and relevant information about black shadow.

Since Catseye was still untraceable, they changed their strategy and plan. They would find her through indirect method and Black Shadow was their target this time.

When she saw Black Shadow stood up and seemed like he was going to the comfort room, Marie also stood up and brought her c.o.c.ktail drinks with her.

She was planning to intentionally bump Black Shadow so that she could able to interact with him. She was wearing a dress tonight and did a make over for tonight's mission having the thought that pretty girls were always the weakness of men.

And Marie's plan was successful. She bumped to Black Shadow in the hallway going to the comfort room. She almost fell from that collision but fortunately Black Shadow acted fast and was able to hold her waist.

Black Shadow was now staring the her. Marie flashed her sweetest smile and spoke to him.

"I am sorry for that and thank you for catching me. I really thought I am gonna fall." Marie pointed his clothes which was not stained by the c.o.c.ktail drink that spilled when they bumped into each other.

Meanwhile at Falcon Cafe....

Elle just finished talking with Erick over the phone when she informed him that she needs to stay for another 2 hours at the Cafe before she could go home. She just made some alibi that it was work related.

However, the truth was Elle wanted to stay in order for her to ask Charles to teach her how and what to cook since she promised Erick's parents that she would cook for them this coming weekend.

"Hey Charles, have you done what I requested you to do?" Elle asked him regarding the cooking utensils that she ordered him to buy and prepare.

"Yeah, I already brought them yesterday. What will you gonna do with those things?" Charles asked her suspiciously. He was wondering why Elle would request him to buy some cooking utensils given from the fact that Elle didn't like to cook and she seldom cooked.

"Of course, what else? We will used it for cooking." Elle just simply replied.

Charles looked at her with disbelief "Are you serious? You? Are you going to cook?"

Elle smiled at him and nodded. "Yes, and you will teach me tonight!" She said matter-of-factly. She didn't give him a chance to object.

"When did we agree to do that?" Charles asked her again.

"Whether you like it or not, you must teach me tonight!" Elle smiled at him cunningly.

Charles was shocked and dumbfounded. 'Is this how Elle ask for a favor? She is not giving me a choice. I haven't said yes! A devil was really a devil! Forcing someone to do what she wanted him to do.'

"Why do want to learn cooking now? You don't like cooking! Are doing this for the fake boyfriend of yours?" Charles said as he sounded angry.

Elle rolled her eyes. 'Here we go again with the 'fake boyfriend' issue.'

"Who said I don't like cooking? I just didn't have time to cook because I am busy gaining millions of money by killing someone and don't forget you also benefited from it." Elle defended herself.

"No! It's a no! Even if you kill me now I won't teach you! You will just cook for that Detective! No way!" Charles said stubbornly.

Elle just stared at him intently. Elle was now frowning and becoming impatient because of his stubbornness.

Charles noticed the dangerous stare that Elle was now giving him.

"Ahem. I will teach you but in one condition!" Charles said immediately after sensing the danger.

A light flashed on Elle's eyes and she smiled "What is it?"

"Invite me during the time you will be cooking for them! I want to be there." Charles demanded.

Elle was dumbfounded at Charles shamelessness. He wanted to be invited. 'What is he thinking?' Elle didn't like the idea but in the end she agreed on his condition.

"Ok fine. Deal!" Elle said. Charles gave her a triumphant smile after that.

"One more thing, you will be the one buying the ingredients for tonight cooking session. Hehe. Please Elle, I am tired for today for accommodating our customers. I did all the work while you were just relaxing on the side."

Elle laughed after hearing that. It was true. She gave him all the works for today. She acted as the boss after Erick left the Cafe. So she just nodded in agreement. After Charles listed down the ingredients, Elle went out to buy everything on the list.

She was on her way when a collision happened on the highway 5 meters away from her location. A black sedan car cut in front of another red mercedes benz car that caused the latter to crash in a post.

Elle witnessed everything that happened and she was about to ignore it however the driver of the black sedan car came out while holding a gun. He walked towards the red mercedez benz car.

"Oh Well well well! What we have here?" A meaningful smile appeared on Elle's face as she saw the person inside the red car. It was James Arison.
