~ The Night of the Exchange ~
Elle and Erick were in the Skull Gang headquarters together with James. They would be monitoring the exchange between the Skull Gang and the Dark Knight Organization.
As part of their strategy, Skull Gang just sent a few members for this Mission. The people who were involved in this operation were 8 elite members including Spike and Sherlock, Phantom, and his 8 henchmen.
Mr. Carter also joined them in Skull Gang's conference hall. The team brought cameras with them to shoot everything so that Supremo and others could see the happenings in the venue.
Spike and Sherlock were the ones who were inside the truck carrying the bio-weapons. They were being escorted by 6 elite members of Skull Gang. 4 henchmen of Phantom headed by Brother Ling were following them.
They were cautious and alert if ever there would be an ambush that might happen on the way. The Dark Knight Organization was the one who set the venue for this exchange.
Thinking about that, the Dark Knight Organization had the advantage of this situation. They could position their men around the area before the Skull Gang arrived.
It was very risky but Skull Gang and Elle's team gambled in order to save Black Shadow. Besides, they had trust in their team. They also prepared enough precautionary measures.
At exactly 9:00 o'clock in the evening, Spike, Sherlock, and others reached the destination. It was an old port near South Carolina's harbor.
It was an abandoned area where no people were hanging out by that time. They saw several vans and black sedan cars. The Dark Knight's men were scattered in the area.
They were armed with high-powered firearms. Alfonso Ramirez was the head negotiator from the side of the Dark Knight.Find authorized novels in , faster updates, better experience, Please click /book/the-devilish-assassin-meets-the-angelic-detective_15596023506141605/chapter-486-a-special-bomb_50932616282563198 for visiting.
They saw Black Shadow in the distance. He was sitting in a wheelchair because his leg was injured. He was smiling at Sherlock and Spike.
"Eh, that guy. He still has the guts to smile in a situation like this. We don't know yet what will be the end result of this negotiation," Sherlock commented to Spike.
Spike facepalmed upon hearing that. "That's true. We don't know where the other enemies are hiding. They might be thinking to sabotage us and kill us all here."
Sherlock chuckled, "Are you scared, Spike? Is the mighty Spike nervous right now?"
Spike shot him a cold glare before stepping out of the truck. It was now time to do the exchange. The early they finished this the better to secure everyone's safety.
They felt like a sheep entering a lion's den. But for an unknown reason, they were not afraid tonight. Because they put their trust in their Queen's team, Phantom, and his henchmen.
Spike and Sherlock together with the other elite members of Skull Gang started to walk over, approaching Alfonzo and his team.
Alfonso sneered at them the moment they reached their spot. They maintained one meter distance from Alfonso's Team. Kelsy was the one holding Black Shadow's wheelchair at the back.
"Is the package complete?" Alfonso Ramirez asked them directly.
Spike stepped forward to do the negotiation. "Yes, you can only have the package once you turn over Black Shadow to us."
Alfonso let out a mocking laugh. "I couldn't believe that the Skull Gang only sent 8 members. Are you that confident that we will do everything according to the first agreement?"
Alfonso was confident after seeing the Skull Gang members who were present now. There were only a few of them. The Dark Knight's members already secured the area.
They were certain that they had no hidden back-up. That's what they thought.
After saying those words, Alfonso Ramirez raised his hand while snapping his fingers. He gave the Dark Knight's men a signal.
They immediately pointed their guns in Skull Gang's direction. Spike and others were not intimidated. They faced them with confidence, unfazed by the threat Alfonso was giving them.
Because of their expression, Alfonso frowned and became hesitant in doing their next move. It seemed that the Skull Gang still had something up their sleeves. Maybe a secret plan?
Spike smirked at them and said, "We came here to keep the end of our deal. Give you the bio-weapons we stole and retrieve our comrade safely. But it seems like you have another plan."
"Do you really think we didn't anticipate this? Knowing the fact that the Dark Knight Organization is the one we are facing?" Sherlock also joined the conversation, flashing his provoking smile at them.
"You are already cornered. What can you do against us? Do you really think you can win? 8 vs an entire army of Dark Knight?" Alfonso said, ridiculing them.
Spike and Sherlock exchanged meaningful glances with one another before bursting out into a peal of laughter.
Kelsy had noticed something about them. She leaned closer to Alfonso and whispered something. Black Shadow also noticed it.
"They are not holding any firearms. This is very strange and suspicious. What are they planning? Don't make a reckless move," Kelsy warned Alfonso.
"Why are you laughing? What are you hiding?" Alfonso asked them with his contorted face.
"We already told you ...we are just here to get our comrade. If you will do something different from the first agreement then all of us here will die. We already know that once we enter your territory there's a high possibility that we can't leave safely." Spike explained to them.
"We only want our comrade back," Spike emphasized those words.
"We want to show you that we will not do anything if you will just follow the agreement. As you can see we don't bring any guns… to show you our sincerity and at the same time to protect ourselves."
"If you want to die with us then go ahead, shoot us now!" Sherlock challenged them.
"What do you mean by that?" Alfonso asked them confusedly.
"We have brought a special bomb with us. It is highly sensitive and susceptible to impact if gunfire, just one spark then BOOM! It can set the bomb to blow up and explode."
