Kevin: "Catseye?"
Black Shadow: " Catseye?"
The newcomer didn't respond but showed them a card. It was Catseye's death card. Kevin clenched his fists and gritted his teeth upon seeing Catseye's death card. It reminded him of the misfortune he had two years ago that caused him to lose his eyesight.
Black Shadow, on the other hand, frowned the moment he saw Catseye and the death card. He was certain that Elle was not here. She won't risk the safety of her child.
Then a certain someone popped up in his mind: Catseye's middleman, Charles. A while ago Charles claimed that he was Catseye version 2.0.
'Oh, that's right. Charles is still here with me. Phew, it looks like I was saved for now.' Black Shadow thought to himself.
He ripped his clothes to tie some clothing in his wound. He needed to stop his bleeding. His right leg was wounded as well as his right shoulder. He couldn't do something on his back right shoulder so he focused on his wounded leg.
"So, this is the new Catseye who is wreaking havoc in the City Z once again?" Kevin said mockingly at them.
Kevin's hand was also bleeding. He had the upper hand a while ago but it was turned in an instant the moment Catseye arrived. Though he was pissed off, Kevin maintained his cool, pretending that he was unaffected by the newcomer's presence.
"Don't you know that interrupting others while they are in the middle of doing something is a very bad manner? Tsk Tsk Tsk," Kevin added as he sneered at him.
This time Charles reacted, bursting into a sarcastic laugh.
"We met again, Kevin Azumi. Last time, it was in the hotel. Oh, you are in no position to tell me that since you also interrupted me and Detective Lee that night. We were also in the middle of doing something when suddenly you appeared, shooting us behind our back."
Another laughter was heard. This time it was Black Shadow who was sitting on the ground.
"Hahaha. Don't be surprised, Catseye. It is his nature to stab you at the back. Oops, I mean, to shoot you at the back. See what happened to me. How cowardly!" Black Shadow commented, provoking Kevin.
Kevin shot Black Shadow a sharp glare. How dare he laugh at him. Black Shadow would be dead by now in his hands if this annoying Catseye's impostor didn't arrive.
"Oh, interesting… The Catseye's impostor is working with Black Shadow now? Hahaha. Two versus one? Who is considered to be more cowardly here?" Kevin didn't back down.
"Oh, sorry about that. But for your information, Black Shadow and I are not friends but I'm willing to help him and work for him because of my sister's request. I heard you were once Black Shadow's friend." Charles shook his head in disappointment, still verbally attacking Kevin Azumi.
"Tsk Tsk Tsk. What a sad ending, a friend betrayed his friend first because someone was jealous of the relationship between his twin sister and his friend." Charles somehow knew the history between Black Shadow and Azumi Twins. That's the advantage of being a gossip man in the underground world.
Black Shadow and Kevin were both rendered speechless. They didn't expect that Charles knew their story.
"Who are you? I'm gonna kill you. You are just a coward hiding in your mask pretending to be strong and powerful while imitating someone's identity and alias." Kevin mumbled through his gritted teeth.
"Hahaha, so the rumor was true? Why are you so affected? Someone told me before that Kevin Azumi was very possessive of his twin sister that he even tried to mess with his sister's relationship with her boyfriend who was also his friend." Charles continued to provoke Kevin.
Black Shadow: "..."
He didn't know whether to cry or laugh in this situation. He had to commend Catseye's middleman. It looked like he even collected data and information about their personal lives.
He never imagined that someone would know the story behind the conflict between Azumi Twins and Black Shadow. Even their former comrades in the Assassin Guild had no idea about this story.
"Oh, don't tell me you had a thing for your twin sister, Kelsy?" Charles threw another verbal attack on Kevin.
But Charles and Black Shadow knew that it's not true. Kevin had no romantic feelings towards his twin sister, Kelsy. Charles just made up that assumption, trying to anger Kevin to lose his cool.
Charles hated to see him calm and compose in this situation. This time they cornered Kevin. His provocation was effective since Kevin's expression darkened. He was now boiling with fury.
"I. Don't. Have. A. Thing. For. My. Sister!" Kevin said firmly, emphasizing every word.
Charles burst out laughing because he already got what he wanted. He angered Kevin and it felt so damn good!
He wanted to avenge Elle against Azumi Twins. They were the ones who plotted the incident two years ago. Because of their schemes of using Erick's parents, Elle's life was put in danger. She almost died two years ago. He hated Kevin and Azumi Twins to the core.
"Black, can you stand up?" This time Charles turned to Black Shadow. He knew that he was wounded. Black Shadow's shoulder was still bleeding.
"Yes, I can," Black Shadow responded before trying to stand up using his other leg.
"No more playing. Let's proceed to the proper business," Charles's tone had become serious. He pointed his gun in Kevin's direction.
"Black Shadow, now I will give you chance. Beat him. Punch him hard! Don't worry, if he tried to fight back I will shoot him."
Black Shadow raised his eyebrow, "How dare you, ordering me around? Are you my boss? Don't you see I'm injured now? Why don't you beat him yourself?"
But Black Shadow's eyes sparkled with delight. He was dying to beat this guy as well. Without waiting for Charles to respond, Black Shadow threw a hard punch on Kevin's jaw then another punch at his abdomen.
Kevin cursed inwardly. He was helpless in this situation. He couldn't fight back or else Catseye would shoot him.
Black Shadow made Kevin his punching bag for several minutes. He didn't care about his wound. He just continued punching him because of Marie. Kevin was the one who shot Marie in the head. This was his revenge.
