The first mission flashed on the screen was the Command Kill Order against Catseye. The silent atmosphere became lively after that.
However, just seconds after the atmosphere became vibrant, it shifted quickly into a deafening silence as the death card of Catseye suddenly appeared on that large screen.
Everyone was put under a state of shock and confusion. Soon, a lot of questioning and whispering erupted in the venue.
"What is the meaning of this?"
"Is someone trying to pull a prank on us?"
"That is Catseye's death card, isn't it? Why it is being flashed there?"
"Someone is intentionally provoking us."
The Mission's messenger immediately turned to look at the staff who was also trying to figure out what was wrong in the system.
Before the staff could respond, an unrecognizable and unfamiliar voice could be heard in the venue.
"Hello, my dear fellow assassins, members of Assassin's Guild. This is Catseye talking to you now."
Everyone gasped in surprise after hearing that.
"Oh... by the way, you are my prisoners now." The voice said enthusiastically.
"What are you saying? Prisoner your a*s! Is this some kind of joke?" One assassin said with annoyance.
"You don't believe me?"
"Of course who would believe to a scaredy-cat like you who just hiding behind this monitor?" one of the third level assassins spat back at 'Catseye'.
'Catseye' whose voice was coming from the monitor suddenly burst out laughing.
"Again I am telling you. All of you are trapped here at your own underground base."
"No one could help you outside. Check your cellular phones and go outside this room and try if you can leave the place."
Someone checked his phone only to see that it had no signal. Another person went outside and seconds later, he came back with a worried expression on his face.
"Catseye was telling the truth. The elevator malfunctioned and it is not working right now."
"D*mn! How come she can do that? Who is operating the elevator?"
"Did someone tamper with our system?"
"F*ck!"
"Catseye is not bluffing. She is d*mn serious!"
Others began cursing, while others began to panic.
The only person who was calm as the water in the lake was Elle. She was enjoying the show.
"What do you want Catseye? If you want a real fight, come here!" One assassin challenged Catseye.
"Why should I waste my time. I can just activate the bomb if I wanted to."
Then a burst of evil laughter reverberated in the entire venue.
"BOMB! There is a bomb! D*mn! Are we really gonna die today?" One of the assassins exclaimed. He was f*cking scared now.
He knew that Catseye was capable of doing that. She was merciless and won't hesitate to kill.
Especially now, that Assassin's Guild already announced a war against Catseye.
"Is this how shameless you become now Catseye? Using such an underhand technique. What a coward?!" Someone was fuming in rage.
Another laughter was heard in the entire venue.
"Well, I just don't think that you are a worthy opponent."
"By the way, do you want to leave this place alive?" 'Catseye' offered them a way out.
There was a moment of silence. Of course, they wanted to leave the place alive but no one had the guts to admit it. They were too proud to succ.u.mb to Catseye's wants.
"Okay, no one among you will answer, then should I blow this underground base now?"
Everyone's eyes widened. They knew that Catseye was playing them.
But they were still frightened from the thought that there was a bomb.
Meanwhile, Elle wanted to give Charles a big round of applause. He was doing great in frightening these flies.
'Good job Charles. Keep it up!'
Yes, it was Charles who was talking in Elle's behalf. Their plans were going smoothly.
Some members were already scared for their lives.
"This is the price you will pay for trying to go against Catseye." Now Charles's voice became serious.
"Don't you know that your comrade is the one who provokes Catseye first?" Charles was using voice changing apps.
"What do you mean by that? Who are you talking about." Someone asked curiously.
"Black Shadow, he was the one who started this. He is hunting me. He even tried to catch and kill me." He was speaking on behalf of Catseye.
"At first, I did not mind it but later on Reaper and Black Shadow were really getting on my nerves."
"I could not tolerate them anymore. So I killed one of them. And now the whole guild wanted to be involved here."
"What a joke? Do you think you can kill me? You don't even know my face."
"But I know all of you. I have a copy of all the members' names and profiles. Do you want to see it?"
Then the image on the screen was changed. List of assassins profiles where being flashed into the screen.
Everyone was rendered speechless. They were astonished beyond belief. How did Catseye able to have that list?
"Since you declare war against me. I can start hunting those persons in the lists."
"This only means that I have a big advantage. I know you all but you don't know me. Hahaha, who cares about one versus many? I can kill you one by one."
Now, no one dared to speak up. They could feel how frightening this Catseye was.
They forgot about it since Catseye went inactive for a long time now. She was truly the devilish assassin who was feared by many.
She certainly lived up to her reputation as one of the most ruthless and vicious assassins.
"Okay, let's go back to my proposal. Who wants to leave this place alive? I have only one rule, fight, win, and you can leave."
Everyone had different expressions. They all knew that fighting against each other was prohibited.
That was the number one rule of this guild and now, Catseye was trying to make them fight each other in exchange for their lives.
"Me." Someone raised her hand. All the people there shifted their gaze to the one who spoke up. It was Elle.
Some were displeased but some sighed in relief.
"Who is that?" Someone asked.
