The Devilish Assassin meets the Angelic Detective

"Fateful encounter of a cold-blooded assassin and a gentle detective: She wants to avenge her parents’ death, no matter the cost. He wants to redeem her and teach her forgiveness. One of them must give in. Merciless, fierce, vicious, and ruthless were the words that people would associate with her. That's how they would describe her, a living devil. Elle is known as the mysterious and meticulous assassin feared by both the underground syndicates and the government. But she finds herself helpless and at the end of her rope when she meets with despair on one of her missions. Erick, a chief detective, comes just in time to rescue the devil turned damsel. His kindhearted nature had led him to take the cold and aloof girl under his wing. With his protection on the line, Elle couldn't possibly get close to him in fear of being revealed. Can she let him into her walls or will she push him away, like all the others? Can he close his eyes to her crimes or will he punish her?" «»«»«»«»«»«»«»«» *Excerpts* "What if I had killed someone? What if I am a criminal, what will you do?" Erick kept silent for a few seconds, thinking. Elle could almost hear her pounding heart amidst the silence of their surrounding. Erick looked into her eyes and met her nervous gaze as he gave her his response. "If that is the case, then I will have to put you in prison," he said in a serious tone. Elle's heart sank when she heard it. She felt like her world fell into pieces. "So... if I ask you to surrender yourself to me, will you do it?" Erick asked her softly as he cupped her troubled face in his two hands. "Will you?... will you marry me Elle?" he added. Elle:"..." Erick took advantage of that chance when Elle was still in a trance as he brought his face closer to her and sealed her lips with a gentle kiss. -------------------------------------------------- COMPLETED [ 530 Chapters ] { Warning: This Book Features Mature Content [R-18] } Award: Writing Prompt Contest #93 First Placer- Villainess Female Lead Author's Other Book: 1.

Chapter 47: Catseye vs Bryan

Meanwhile...the assassin who just brought chaos to Arison Holdings was just sitting in the lobby. She didn't leave the building yet. She was talking to Charles through their communication device.

Elle was really in a great mood right now. Their plan was a success. She was rejoicing inside seeing her enemies suffer mentally, physically, and psychologically.

She heard how frightened Selena was just a while ago. She saw the wounded Black Shadow being carried to the car park.

James didn't hesitate and he took her proposal right away, afraid that she would do something to his sister.

She knew that James was really angry right now and really mad to the extent that he was already cursing her name. She finally got even with them.

"Tsk tsk, so easy! I didn't do much effort but they were really in a panic. Haha! They should be thankful, there is no bloodshed today, only mental torture!"

Charles was listening on the other line.

"Why are you still there? Are you not afraid that they might find you?" Charles asked her.

"I am not done yet. Just want to play with them some more." Elle said to him with a cheerful tone.

"What will you gonna do?" Charles asked her.

"Since they are also here I might as well greet them," Elle said while chuckling.

"Who are you talking about?" Charles asked her again looking so confused.

"The Eagles and the special task force!" Elle simply said. She saw them arrived just a while ago.

She was familiar with those four persons, Captain Jason and Carl of Eagles and Of course, Erick and Bryan.

"Are you kidding me? This is not a kid's play Elle! They might catch you! You are acting so recklessly! This is so unlike you! The way you are behaving right now is not how you usually behave." Charles was now scolding her.

Elle just rolled her eyes.

"Relax... I just want to greet them but it doesn't mean they can catch me. What's wrong with that? Besides, they have been working on this case for 5 years now. I just want to cheer them up!"

"Elle, I will inform Master Phantom about this," Charles warned her.

"Then go ahead. What do you want me to do? Kill all these people here? Do you prefer that one?" Elle said as she observed the people in her surroundings.

Charles was left speechless. He couldn't refute that one.

''That is not what I meant. My point is don't create any more trouble. You are in their territory right now."

"Alright. Just give me three minutes then. After talking to them, I shall take my leave."

"Then let's meet at the restaurant where you wanted to eat last time. I will treat you since our plan was a success." Elle said as she didn't want to argue further with Charles.

Charles' expression changed when he heard that. He quickly agreed on Elle's suggestion.

"Ok...please connect me to their server now," Elle ordered him. Charles was responsible for operating the computer now.

He just followed Elle's instructions for him to execute the right command.

"Are you sure they will not be able to track our location by doing this? How about your voice? They might record it and use it in their investigation about you." Charles asked her with a concerned voice.

"Don't worry, we are safe. Just trust me. They will not get anything after this. They will just be pissed off by my provocation after this." Elle said with confidence.

"Ok then. Just three minutes!" Charles reminded her. Then Elle searched for a place where there were no people.

On the other hand, the people whom Charles and Elle were just talking about were still gathered at Selena's Office.

They were still discussing what just happened a while ago when the man who was assigned to the CCTV control room called James about an important matter.

"Mr. Chairman, please go here to the CCTVs control room. There are some irregularities in the system. Something popped up in the monitors! I think it was a virus!"

It was communicated through the handset radio so everyone in the room heard it.

All of them proceeded to the control room to check it out. When they arrived, they saw the dumbfounded expressions of the staff there looking at the monitors.

They were also surprised as well when they saw it. The photos on the monitors were all Death's Card of Catseye.

The most shocking one was when they heard a voice coming from the monitor.

"Hello, officers! It is nice that finally, I get to talk to you... Captain Jason and Officer Carl of Eagles, Oh we have some new faces here."

Elle was referring to Erick, Bryan, and Officer Kim. They were speechless. Catseye knew them. She was familiar with the members of the Eagles.

"Oh, the Arison Siblings are also there," Elle mentioned them one by one. Elle could see them through the CCTV camera inside the control room.

The data was being transmitted by Charles to her cellphone right now. They were the ones who couldn't see her but they could talk to her.

As if they knew that she was watching them they looked towards the direction of the CCTV camera inside the room. They guess that she could see them through it.

"What do you want?" It was Erick who spoke to her first.

"Pardon? Can you introduce your name first before talking to me? I don't know you!" Elle said to him with a rude tone.

It was Bryan who got mad when he heard how rude she is while talking to their Chief Detective Erick.

"Hey, you! How come you didn't know him?!! Did you just forget that he is the one you used to enter the office of Miss Selena!"

Everyone in the room was flabbergasted with the way Bryan spoke to Catseye. They all averted their gaze to Bryan.

He was right and he had a point. They wanted to give him a round of applause at that time. 'Good Job Bryan!'

She also realized that Bryan was right.

"I am not talking to you. Can you shut up? I just want to talk to good-looking guys!" She said that because she wanted to make him angrier by targeting his ego.

'Does it mean, everyone whom she just mentioned a while ago was all good-looking except Bryan? Then how about me? She didn't mention me.' Police Officer Kim thought to himself.

Bryan was really mad now because of that indirect insult coming from her.

"You don't have the right to say that! Why? Are you also a good-looking one? Then show us your face!!!" he challenged her.

"Haha, I guess you are ugly! Because you are hiding your face!! Maybe that is the reason why you are targeting the Arison Family especially miss Selena. Because you are jealous of their beautiful and handsome faces!"

Jason:"....."

Erick:"..."

James:"...."

Selena:"...."

Carl:"...."

Officer Kim and others:"....."

They were all speechless!

'Bryan's logic was weird and a little bit off.' Erick mumbled to himself.

Everyone's attention was focused on Bryan. They were also anticipating a reply coming from Catseye. They really wanted to praise Bryan's bravery.

"Do you really want to see how beautiful and good-looking I am? I can visit you tonight. I can also prove to you that someone as beautiful as me could also be deadly."

"Do you know that I am strikingly beautiful that can cause someone's death just by seeing my face?

Then a soft chuckle reverberated in the entire room. It was the devil's laughter. This time it was Bryan who was left speechless.

'Oh crap! Did I just make the devil angry? Have I really offended her by calling her ugly?' Bryan started to feel frightened.

"Hehe Relax. I am just joking. Please don't be mad. If you get mad I will assume that my assumption is true." Bryan softly said concealing his nervousness.

'What if Catseye was really serious about visiting me? What should I do.'

He thought of an escape plan then he saw Erick. His eyes brighten up.

He went to Erick's back and grabbed his shoulders then he pushed him forward while saying "Catseye, just forget what I have said a while ago. I will give you now the most handsome man in this room. He's here. You can now talk to him. I will not disturb you!"

Then he turned to Erick and said "Chief Lee, she was asking you. Please introduce yourself! Hehehe"

Now, everyone was giving him a weird look and a sharp glare. They all wanted to take back what they have said a while ago about Bryan's bravery.
