Senator Mondragon was rendered speechless after hearing Diana's statement.
'What she meant by saying everyone can see us right now? On National TV??... being broadcasted live? People are witnessing everything…' The confusion was written all over his face as his mind was processing Diana's words.
It did not take long when Senator Mondragon realized something. He looked in the direction of Mr. Carter and Alfonso, his gaze shifting back and forth between the two men.
The room suddenly became chilly because of the frightening aura emanating from the Dark Lord. Alfonso couldn't help himself from stepping back as his body began sweating coldly.
The sharp deathly look coming from the Dark Lord was enough to send shivers down Alfonso's spine.
'Why is he looking at me like that? Did he figure out everything?' Alfonso gulped hard, trying his best to look calm but fail.
Senator Mondragon aka the Dark Lord signaled his men to come. He didn't bother to respond to Diana.
"Search them! NOW! They are hiding a camera and everything here is being recorded!" Senator Mondragon ordered his guards with urgency in his voice.
The guards immediately restrained Alfonso and Mr. Carter as they did a full body-search looking for the hidden camera.
"Are you betraying me, Alfonso?" Senator Mondragon asked him coldly.
When he heard that voice, Alfonso felt like he just saw his death coming for him. Alfonso had no idea what was happening.
'Who called the Dark Lord? What information he got from that call?' These were the questions running in his mind right now.
"No. I didn't betray you!" Alfonso tried to deny his accusation. If he confessed right now then he would receive an instant death from the Dark Lord.
Alfonso had no idea that everything was being recorded from the moment they entered that hall. Erick and Phantom let Mr. Carter wore a pair of high-tech eyeglass which had a camera function.
It was the latest spying device Phantom had ordered before from the State. It became handy and useful during this mission.
With the help of the technology and equipment of the XXX Crime Investigation Department, the videos captured by Mr. Carter's eyeglasses were being transmitted to Morning Star Media Network.
This was the request asked by Elle from Sandy. They used their connection with their company Morning Star to cover this, live and broadcast it on National TV.
This was the strategy they used in order to expose the identity of the Dark Lord. They also informed the National Security about the existence of the Bioweapon facility managed by the Dark Knight Organization.
However, the National Security would not take action without concrete proof and evidence. This live broadcast was also another way of presenting concrete evidence to the National Security.
Now, they were now on the move to apprehend the Dark Lord and to raid the Bio-weapon facility. Their specialized team might be on the move now to provide back-ups for Erick's team.
The Dark Lord didn't see this coming. He was deceived and outsmarted by Erick and Phantom. This was the reason why he had a bad feeling today. Something big was happening. He didn't like this.
"Call Snake! Right now!" Senator Mondragon ordered his other guard, throwing his phone at him.
The Dark Lord clenched his fists. He felt his temperature rising, vein bulging out of his head. The Dark Lord was furious. His face was red from too much rage. He had the urge to kill Alfonso and Mr. Carter right now.
If everything there was being shown on National TV then it was the end of his political career. The good name that he maintained for several decades just got ruined because of that video.
The Dark Lord picked up his revolver and aimed at Mr. Carter. His guard tried searching the camera on Mr. Carter's body but they failed to find it.
It did not take long when Senator Mondragon realized that Mr. Carter's eyeglass was the one responsible for capturing the video.
He immediately took the eyeglass of Mr. Carter and smashed them on the floor. He broke them into tiny pieces. He just stopped when he was satisfied.
Senator Mondragon didn't know whether to laugh or cry for this incident. He couldn't believe he fell on this scheme.
After breaking the eyeglass, Senator Mondragon turned his attention back to Mr. Carter and Alfonso. Between the two men, Alfonso was the one feeling anxious. Mr. Carter remained calm while enjoying the ugly expression of the Dark Lord.
"Did you like my surprise?" Mr. Carter asked him in a very provocative manner. He was laughing at him. He was feeling good seeing the Dark Lord slowly losing everything he built for decades.
His name, his reputation, and his career, were now over. Everyone already saw his true color.
"Your dream to become the President of this country will only remain a dream. It will not come into reality. Hahaha." Mr. Carter continued to anger and provoke the Dark Lord.
Senator Mondragon shot him a cold sharp glare. He balled his hand into a fist, clenching his teeth. His grip on his revolver tightened.
He raised his hand to point his gun at Mr. Carter. A smug smile appeared on Mr. Carter's face as he looked at Senator Mondragon mockingly.
"Kill me. I don't care anymore. I am already happy to see your organization collapsing soon. This is the end for the Dark Knight Organization," Mr. Carter bravely said with so much certainty in his voice.
Senator Mondragon flashed his sinister smile. He turned into a devil now because of too much anger.
"Don't worry, before killing you today. I will show you how those children you care for will suffer. I will inject them with the Bio-weapon you created yourself. If you want to save them then you should start creating antidote now." The Dark Lord threatened him again using the children.
He had no time for this. He had to fix his image and reputation first. He would let the people believe that he was framed. What they saw on the TV was just black propaganda of the opposing party. That's the excuse he would use.
Senator Mondragon gave his guard instructions to bring Mr. Carter to the Bio-weapon lab and Alfonso in a prison. He would interrogate him once he comes back.
He was in a hurry to leave the place when suddenly a series of gunshots were heard outside. There was a shootout going on in their territory!
"F.u.c.k! They are here!"
