THE DEVIL HERSELF
Chapter 53

#000 POLICE DEPARTMENT 000 000 ISABELLA'S OFFICE ☐☐☐

Inspector Isabella worked tirelessly through the night on the case file. She meticulously compiled evidence, linked connections, and wrote detailed reports. By the early hours of the morning, she saved all her work onto a flash drive, ensuring that the information was backed up before she left her office.

The next morning, she arrived at the office early, intending to present the case file to the IG for approval. However, when she reached for the flash drive, it was gone. Panic set in as she searched frantically through her desk, drawers, and every possible hiding place, but it was nowhere to be found.

Deciding to check the CCTV footage, Isabella and a colleague reviewed the recordings from the previous night. The footage revealed a masked man entering her office. He carefully took the flash drive, replaced it with another, and then proceeded to delete all the information from her computer. Just as the man was about to leave, something caught Isabella's eye-a distinctive ring on his index finger.

Isabella paused the footage, zooming in on the ring. It was a unique design, one she had seen before. Realization dawned on her as she remembered who wore that ring. Determined to confront him, she marched out of her office and headed straight to Inspector Jordan's office.

Jordan looked up as Isabella entered, a smirk playing on his lips.

"Isabella, to what do I owe this unexpected visit?" he asked, leaning back in his chair.

Isabella glared at him, her voice steady but laced with anger. "I think you know exactly why I'm here, Jordan."

He raised an eyebrow, feigning innocence. "I have no idea what you're talking about."

"Cut the crap," she snapped, pulling out her phone and showing him the still image from the CCTV footage. "Recognize this ring?"

Jordan glanced at the image and then down at his own hand, where the same ring gleamed. His smirk widened. "That's quite a stretch, Isabella. Lots of people have rings like this."

"Don't play dumb with me," she hissed. "I know it was you. You stole my flash drive and deleted my files. You're trying to take credit for my work to get that promotion."

Jordan's expression turned cold. "Watch your accusations, Isabella. You're treading on dangerous ground."

"I'm not afraid of you," she said firmly. "I'll get the evidence I need to prove what you did."

"We'll see about that," he replied, his tone dripping with menace.

### 000 CLAN HEADQUARTERS 000

Meanwhile, back at the Clan headquarters, Scarlet was strategizing with her top members. Diego was still recovering, and the Clan's operations had slowed down slightly, but Scarlet was determined to keep the momentum going. Rachel walked into the room, bringing an update. "Scarlet, the intel we received about Eagles movements has been confirmed. He's planning another attack."

Scarlet nodded. "Good. We'll be ready for him this time. Keep our spies on high alert."

Rachel hesitated before adding, "Gloria and Elias have also asked to meet with you. They have some important information."

"Tell them to come to my office," Scarlet instructed.

Gloria and Elias arrived at Scarlet's office later that day. Elias looked nervous, but Gloria had a reassuring hand on his shoulder.

"Scarlet," Gloria began, "we've found out something that might be crucial. Elias and I have been digging into the connections between our enemies, and we've uncovered some disturbing details."

Elias took a deep breath. "It seems that Eagles has been working with several corrupt officials to cover his tracks. We found records of payments and bribes that link directly back to some of the higher-ups in the police department." Scarlet's eyes narrowed. "Do you have proof?"

Elias nodded, handing over a folder. "Everything is in here. Bank statements, emails, even some recorded conversations."

Scarlet flipped through the documents, a grim smile forming on her lips. "This is exactly what we needed. Good work, both of you."

Gloria smiled. "We're all in this together. We have to bring them down, once and for all."

After Diego was shot, Gloria and Elias decided to help Scarlet and Dracula run the Clan. They have a new attacker, and that's the Eagles. A new Clan that emarged and wants to bring down Scarlet Scorpion Evo x, but they don't know what they are in for.

#000 HOSPITAL WARD ☐☐☐

At the hospital, Diego lay in his bed, still unconscious but stable. Dracula sat beside him, lost in thought. The room was quiet, save for the soft beeping of the medical machines.

Tyler and Rachel entered the ward, their faces somber. "Any change?" Tyler asked softly.

Dracula shook his head. "No. He's still out. The doctors say it's a miracle he survived at all." Rachel placed a hand on Dracula's shoulder. "He'll pull through. He's a fighter."

Later that day, Inspector Isabella met with the IG in his office. She saluted him respectfully and began to present her replaceings.

"Sir, I've gathered substantial evidence linking the recent massacres to the ongoing feud between the Scarlet Scorpion Evo X and the Hunter's Clan but I lost the evidence last night. It was stolen from my office but I have plans of catching the criminal soonest" she stated and leaned in closer to him. "We are been watched closely by someone in this place, so I want you to play along with me please" she whispered, using her eyes to point at the shadow on the ground, Morgan got the hint immediately.

"Go on Isabella" he raised his voice Abit, smirking wickedly.

"Based on witness statements and some surveillance footage, there's a key figure involved a woman known as DVV, which stands for Devil's Venomous Viper. She's been leading the attacks."

Morgan nodded. "Good work. We need more information. If necessary, you may need to go undercover to infiltrate their ranks."

Isabella saluted again. "Understood, sir. I'll gather what I need and report back."

a junior officer who had been standing by the door overheard the conversation. He quickly sent a text message to a number saved as "Boss."

"Isabella has gotten the permission she needs from IG Morgan to go as an undercover agent to the Clan. Need to act fast."

The recipient of the message was none other than Inspector Jordan. He read the text and scowled. If Isabella succeeded, his plans for promotion would be ruined. He had to stop her, no matter the cost.

#000 CLAN HEADQUARTERS ☐☐

Back at the Clan headquarters, Scarlet received a call from one of her spies in the police department. "Boss, there's movement. Isabella is getting close to uncovering everything. Jordan is also making moves to sabotage her." Scarlet smirked. "Good. Let them tear each other apart. We'll use the chaos to our advantage. Keep me updated on every development."

As Scarlet hung up the phone, she felt a chill run down her spine. She stepped out of her office and looked around, her instincts telling her something was amiss. But replaceing nothing suspicious, she returned inside, determined to stay vigilant.
