Chapter 48: Confrontation

Elle started to regret talking to them. She didn't expect that she would encounter another Charles in the persona of Bryan.

When she was with him, Bryan was well-behaved and not that talkative.

He also looked so frightened and distant when she was Elle but now that she was acting like Catseye, Bryan was acting so brave and mighty, daring to talk to her like that.

"No need! I changed my mind. Besides I am not interested in him." Elle said when Bryan pushed Erick to talk to her.

Erick:"....."

'Why do I feel like Catseye had some animosity towards me? At first, she was really rude and now she doesn't want to talk to me.' Erick mumbled to himself.

James secretly signaled his staff to record everything there and they got what he meant.

"I just want to talk to Eagles! Captain Jason and Officer Carl, since this is our first-ever interaction for the past 5 years, I will give you a chance if you want something to ask or tell me, just speak your thoughts. They said, if you want to beat your enemy you should know them more."

Captain Jason was mad and upset at the same time. He knew that she was underestimating them and laughing at their failures in catching her.

She was arrogant. Carl and Jason were trying to keep their cool.

"Are you really a woman? or not?" Carl asked her.

The voice that they were hearing right now was not the actual voice of Elle.

She was using a voice changing application that she created by herself that could disguise her true voice.

They couldn't identify if the one speaking right now is a girl or a boy. Even though they already got some leads, they just wanted to confirm it with her.

They also assumed that Catseye didn't know yet that they already knew her identity.

A loud chuckle could be heard from the monitors.

"I can be both. Remember a devil can be seen in many forms." She didn't deny it or confirmed about her gender.

Then suddenly another voice was heard inside the room.

"Why did you kill my father?" Selena took all her courage to speak up.

Silence engulfed the entire room after that. Elle stayed silent for a while. Then Selena asked her another question.

"Why it had to be him? He is a good person! I believe he didn't do anything wrong. Why did you kill him? Tell me! Why?"

Hatred and resentment could be seen in Selena's misty eyes. She was trying to control her tears.

She was really mad! She wanted an answer now from the person who killed their father!

James shared the same feeling of rage with her. He clenched his fist. He also wanted to know. Everyone was waiting for Elle's response.

Elle was frowning and staring intently at Selena. Those questions and those eyes... she had also experienced it before. Her grasp on her phone tightened.

Looking at Selena right now, brought her back to a memory from her past. She saw her young self asking that similar question.

"Why are they hurting my family? My Dad is a good man. He is a policeman. He saves a lot of people. My mother is a loving wife and a caring mother."

"She also helps people. What bad things did they do to deserve this? Do good people receive punishments like this? Why God allows this to happen?"

She was feeling lost and empty remembering that dark past. Elle was awakened from her memory when she heard that Selena spoke again.

"Speak up!!! I guess you don't know the feeling of losing someone you love! You are so heartless! Killing people is so easy for you! Don't you feel any remorse? Killing even innocent people, where is your conscience?"

Elle burrowed her brows as she heard this question and she burst into laughter. She was laughing hard but there was no humor nor any feelings from it.

"Yes, you are right! But let me clarify to you miss Arison. There is no such thing as good and bad people in my vocabulary."

"To me, they are all just prey to satisfy my bloodthirst. Killing people keep my heart excited and I felt more alive."

"And all of you are not an exception, even your father. He was just a big prey compared to some since his head has a high price."

Everyone in the room was infuriated as soon as they heard her response. In their minds, they really thought that she was a devil.

"I killed gang leaders, police officers, politicians, prominent people in the underground world, and society."

"I don't care who is good and who is bad as long as the price is right and I can kill that's all that matters to me." Elle smiled cunningly.

"Do you know what my motto in life is? Elle paused but no one dared to speak.

"I guess you didn't know. So let me share it with you."

"My motto is To Kill and Not Be Killed," Elle said as she emphasized every word.

Everyone was speechless. Their faces could no longer be painted because of their angry expressions. The atmosphere became gloomy and intense.

They all felt sorry and sympathetic to Arison's Sibling. Catseye really lived with her reputation as vicious, and ruthless.

She really had proven to them that she didn't feel any remorse every time she would kill someone. She was truly a devil and deserves to be punished severely.

"Catseye... In the end, You will get the punishment you deserve for all the crimes and sins that you committed! I wish you will die from an ugly death." Selena said to her while cursing her.

'I already received the worst punishment in my life when I was 10.' Elle thought to herself.

"Time is up, so I guess I have to say goodbye for now. If you want to punish me then catch me first. I will be waiting. Good luck Officers!"

"By the way, Mr. James Arison, it is nice meeting you today. I am a little bit disappointed, I was not able to hear your voice. But I hope you will remember me."

Elle intentionally mentioned James to remind him about her warning. James understood what she meant by remembering her.

And just like that, Catseye disappeared again without leaving a trace.

Their system went back to normal but the people inside have not yet recovered from the series of events that just happened that day.

All of them had gloomy expressions when they left the control room.
