Chapter 507 - 507: Snake Revealed Himself

"What is the meaning of this, General?" Erick asked General Jason through his gritted teeth.

Mr. Carter and Elle were also looking at General Jason with disbelief. General Jason just remained silent, not answering Erick. They couldn't tell what he was thinking right now.

Alfonso and the other Dark Knight men who were taking cover behind their cars immediately came out of their hiding spot.

"What took you so long, Snake? I thought you would never come." Alfonso said sarcastically. The Snake he was referring to was none other than General Jason.

General Alfonso ignored Alfonso's sarcastic remarks. He shot him a side glance before averting his gaze to the other members of the Dark Knight. They all looked sick and most of them were already injured.

A deep frown appeared on his aged face. "What happened to your team? So incapable as always, Alfonso? If I didn't come then for sure, they would escape from your grasp successfully."

Alfonso was annoyed by Snake's remarks. "It's not my fault. I think someone drugged us and sabotaged my team. They just suddenly felt ill at the same time for no reason. And it happened today. Don't tell me you have something to do with this?"

Snake and Alfonso started fighting each other again. Their comrade could only shake their heads helplessly. They were in the middle of a mission but their two leaders were still arguing in front of them.

"Maybe you did this because you wanted me to look bad to the Dark Lord. You want to ruin my image," Alfonso added, still accusing Snake.

Elle, who was just listening on the side, had the urge to laugh at Alfonso's dumbness. He jumped to a conclusion right away without analyzing things. He didn't even suspect Dr. Gomez who gave his team the coffee this morning.

"Don't blame someone because of your carelessness and incompetence. You are just making an excuse for yourself." General Jason didn't restrain himself from insulting Alfonso.

While the two leaders of the Dark Knight were arguing a while ago, Erick reassured Elle and Mr. Carter through eye-contact, telling them that they didn't have to worry. Erick and the others had a counterattack for this. They just have to trust in them and wait for what would happen next.

After a while, one member of General Jason's team decided to intervene before the two would argue further.

"General and Senior Alfonso, I think we should proceed to our next move. What should we do with them?" Everyone focused their attention back on Erick, Elle, and Mr. Carter.

"You deal with the Detective and his reporter girlfriend. Then leave the scientist to me," Alfonso said to General Jason.

"Besides, the Dark Lord assigned the task to you… The task of eliminating the Chief Detective," Alfonso said with a sinister smirk on his face.

General Jason couldn't look straight into Erick's eyes. He tried his best to avoid meeting his gaze. He didn't want to see the hatred from Erick's eyes. After all, he really treated him like a son.

After receiving the order from the Dark Lord about eliminating Erick, General Jason was bothered every day. He had conflicting thoughts. He knew that Erick had not done something wrong but unfortunately he had to die in his hands.

Just thinking about that, Jason was already consumed by guilt. He had to betray another good person… another great comrade. 

He had to do this for the Dark Knight Organization and for the Dark Lord. He had already sworn loyalty to them since the start.

Just like Dr. Gomez, General Jason was indebted to the Dark Lord and this organization. This organization became his stepping stone to reach and achieve his goal. 

He got to this position because of the Dark Lord's help. What he had today was the result and reward for his hard work in protecting the organization.

After his long silence, Snake gave his order. He signaled his men to hand the genius scientist over to Alfonso's Team.

The two men who were restraining Mr. Carter pushed him forward to Alfonso's side. Alfonso asked his men to drive the car. They already got what they needed here.

Alfonso's Team decided to leave right away together with Mr. Carter. They forced him to enter the van. Mr. Carter had no choice but to follow.

He glanced at Erick and Elle one last time. He was still worried for their safety. He knew that Alfonso and his men would not hurt him. But Elle and Erick had a different fate. The Dark Lord ordered to kill them both.

When Alfonso and his team left the area, Mr. Carter became more anxious and restless. He was silently praying for Erick's and Elle's safety. He trusted the Skull Gang and Phantom's Team but he couldn't help but worry.

The spy and traitor already revealed himself. Now, it's all up to Erick and Phantom's team. He knew they had a great plan. He hoped that everything would go according to their plan.

Meanwhile, General Jason was glad that Alfonso already left. He was just pissed off seeing that guy. Now he could talk alone to Erick and Elle aka Aliyah Ross before accomplishing his mission… the mission of killing them.

General Jason ordered his men to do a body search on Erick. He might be hiding more weapons. He also needed to remove any communicating device from Erick. 

What if he was contacting someone aside from General Jason's team? Jason wanted to make sure that aside from him, no one knew about this operation.

Before General Jason's men removed the communication device on Erick's ear, Phantom relayed a message to him before disconnecting their signal. Jason must not know that Erick had another back-up.

They got another two guns and daggers from Erick. One man also approached Elle. He was about to do a body search on her when Erick stopped him.

"Don't you dare touch her!!!" Erick was enraged. He tried to struggle. He won't let other men touch Elle.

Seeing Erick's reaction, General Jason stopped his subordinate. Besides, he believed that Elle was just an ordinary reporter. He was underestimating her, thinking that she didn't know how to fight nor use any weapons.

"General, you are the spy… you are the traitor. Not Carl! You deceived us all. How can you do this to your team? All this time I thought you were a good person. Why are you working with those men? They are evil!" Erick started to question General Jason.

"We trusted you. But you ended up betraying me and my team. I thought you were our friend, our second father. Why? Answer me! How can you do this to us?" Erick's eyes were burning with rage. 

General Jason could also see the disappointment in his face. Erick was in pain. He was having a hard time accepting this truth.

General Jason clenched his fists and lowered his gaze. He couldn't face Erick. He understood what he was feeling right now.

"I'm sorry, Erick. I had to do this. You already learned more about the operation of the Dark Knight. You are a great threat to them."

"If you are just like the other cops who can be bribed to keep your silence, then we can let you live. But unfortunately, you are not that kind of person. The only option left is to silence you… forever."
