CHAPTER 15

"Did you think I didn't bring anyone with me?" The man laughs evilly, wiping his nonexistent tears. "Whelp, it's time for you to die. Poor dog, there will be no one who's here to save you." He said and was about to shoot towards the masked man when all of the sudden, he fell as blood started to ooze from his head.

"Good thing I was watching." A figure suddenly arrived, making Phileo throw his glance toward the person who just came out from where it was hiding. "Told you to stay at the car, Madame!" The masked man explained, facepalming.

"Are you the boss of me to command me?" The woman spoke but with her voice being tampered with, Phileo couldn't recognize it. "More or less, handle them." She commanded as everyone started to fight them, gun to gun. It's not the first time that Phileo partakes in gun wars, but this one was dangerous especially since everyone was skilled.

He was about to leave and check if the backup has arrived but someone kicked him, making him lose his grip on the gun. "What the fuck?—" he cursed but immediately shut himself up when the woman he saw earlier was already pointing the gun at his head. How can he say she's a woman? She got curves, long hair, a woman's mask, and a busty chest. Of course, he'll know she's a woman.

"Who the fuck are you?" The mysterious woman asked him while looking at him. Phileo unconsciously smirked at the woman in front of him, his interest peeked at the woman behind the mask. "Women should be graceful, dear." He replied as he immediately grabbed the gun, twisted it, and successfully owned it, making the woman back up a little.

"To hell, I care with grace." The woman replied, kicked the gun from his hand, and launched a power punch in his face, making him wince in pain. Damn, that was a strong punch. "I like you," Phileo muttered and attacked the woman in front of him. They were exchanging punches and kicks, blocking each other's powerful attack.

'A police officer huh?' Andrea thought while she was launching punches while the man avoided her. "You scared? Why aren't you fighting?" She mocked him, trying to break the police officer that successfully infiltrated their location. If not for her peripheral vision, she wouldn't spot him.

"I would be only wasting my energy." He said smirking and making Andrea lose her patience. To hell does she care if this man dies!

"Woe—Lady chill!" Phileo shouted making everyone look at the two, closely fighting each other. "Madame!" Ace shouted when he saw how she was fighting an unknown man. "Fucking focus your attention on your enemies dimwit!" She angrily shouted and kicked Phileo in his stomach, making him back away.

She then released a sidekick but was blocked by Phileo as he grabbed her leg, pulled her closer, and smirked. 'What an asshole!' Andrea shouted in her brain as she leaped and twisted her body, releasing a turning kick.

"That hurts," Phileo replied as he wiped off the blood on his head and smiled and then charges towards Andrea and gave her a straight punch. Andrea smirked, saw through his technique, and was about to avoid him when his other hand suddenly gave her a hook, hitting her face near her eyes.

He was fast in changing his punch, causing Andrea to receive an attack. It was powerful, as Andrea's mask started to crumble in her eyes, letting Phileo see how deep of a purple her right eye was. Nevertheless of her bleeding eye, he was stuck because of how beautiful it was.

Andrea took this time and ducked, sticking her leg and immediately performing a side sweep kick, causing Phileo to lose his balance and immediately land on his back. Sirens suddenly envelop the whole warehouse, causing them to panic. Ace who already has their money and the pink diamond shot the last person who arrived and immediately grabbed her master and ran away from the scene.

It happened very fast but Phileo still hasn't recovered from that perfect violet eyes who were staring at him with fire in her eyes, she was mad but it feels as if he somehow like the way she looked at him.

He was still lying down when his assistant arrives, raising his eyebrow and looking at him in disbelief. "What the hell happened to you? You look destroyed!" His assistant exclaimed while looking at him.

"Nothing, just lying down after I was attacked by someone." He said and stared at the ceiling, with nothing on his brain except for the woman he fought with.

"What's with the reinforcements, Phileo?" General Felipe asked through a call when he receive a call saying there was a dispatch of police cars for backup. "An exchange of goods happened, General," Phileo answered as he was getting treated.

That girl sure is a fighter. He got bruises and wounds but he wasn't mad, more like he was interested in someone. "You can't believe how Lieutenant Colonel Baros looks beaten up right now." Jill Castro, the assistant talked to General Phileo as he smiled smugly at Phileo who seems to be lost for words.

"Well, what happened? Do you know what group they belong to or something? Who did you encounter to make you end up like that." General Felipe asked Phileo, worried about him.

"There were 4 masked people, a woman and a man with their 2 guards. The woman was the leader based on what the man has been calling her. While there were at least 13 others that these two who looks like a small group. While we investigated the corpse, we later found out that they belong to a smaller organization called, 'Hananoki Syndicate' if you asked why we came up with them, it's because of the tattoos on their back, H.S. initials which stand for the syndicate. Those 4 masked people escaped, leaving the 13 corpses here." Phileo reported as he put a band-aid on his bleeding eyebrow.

"I see, it seems they overpowered them. So, who the hell did you face? I'm curious as to who decided to bump you." General Felipe asked him, curious about the person behind the Lieutenant Colonel's injuries.

"A woman." He replied shortly, making Jill and the general shocked to hear what he said. They were gaping their mouths as if something unbelievable came out from Phileo's mouth.

"What? A woman?" Jill asked, couldn't believe it. "It's impossible for you to be on par with a woman, Lieutenant." He added. Phileo is always the undefeatable type but hearing what he said right now, a woman just pinned him down, resulting in multiple injuries. Phileo was known, to be honest, so he can't lie.

"Wow, a woman who has the balls to fight you. What does she look like? So that we could track her face." General Felipe asked and chuckled a little. A woman just claimed it with honor for defeating him.

There was something inside Phileo, he couldn't bring up what the woman he fought on looked like. It feels like he's keeping the information himself, even though this case can be carried by the general himself. He was being selfish for not sharing what he just saw.

"I'm sorry, General. But I couldn't get a glimpse of the suspect. She was covered well from head to toe. It was impossible to break her defense as well as the mask." Phileo lied regarding the information.

He just saw the woman's floating blonde hair and that deep tantalizing purple eye that caught his attention. But it seems he couldn't utter how that woman looks in front of his general. He should be removed from his position for lying to someone whose rank is much higher than his.
