Mr. Ban disappeared into thin air, Saint went back to the hospital to take Bane away since the treatment that he was undergoing was very light, and Don Black just stayed back at his office, watching the war go on.Snake Eyes was dead. ''Greg...'' Don Black said into the phone after he called Greg Chase.''I am on my way to your establishment. I don't fancy making phone calls at such a dire time...'' Greg Chase said to Don Black and hung up quickly. What he said made sense, so Don Black understood and was waiting for him. Soon, Greg arrived at Don Black's private office. ''I have cleared most of Snake Eye's men...'' Greg said to Don Black in a calm and undisturbed voice. Don Black nodded.''I know. I heard of it. Also, Snake Eyes is dead, are you aware?'' Don Black asked Greg.Greg nodded slowly.''But...that was not from me, right? Rumor has it that he had an alteration with Bane and...'' Greg was saying when Don Black cut him short.''Yes, rumor has it, but you have to accept th

*Wheeeep* *slash, slash*Knives and other sharp objects were cutting through Mr. Ban's men. It was a disturbing sight to look at. Mr. Ban had run into the tiniest compartment in the establishment of his that he was in, and hid there.He dreaded Greg Chase at this moment. He dreaded the man with his life. Beads of sweat formed on Mr. Ban's forehead as he heard his men screaming horribly outside. He didn't need anyone to tell him that his men were being devoured by Greg Chase and his...his what, really? Who were all those men that were with Greg? Where did he get them from? Mr. Ban thought. He regretted ever underestimating Greg. Especially after Greg landed all of Mr. Ban's former customers in business, that was when Mr. Ban should have known that Greg was a different breed, but he thought that it was going to be business as usual and that he could just casually threaten Greg away from the forefront, but to his surprise, Greg was ready and guarded for this sort of life. The chaos w

Mr. Ban was in his sister's house. Margaret Ban had put him to bed, seeing that he had been so shocked out of his mind to the extent that, his body was weak. ''I have warned him several times about this life. There is no need for this life he is living, and I have told Damien several times. The family's business is doing incredibly well and he can be whatever he wants to be just from the income he receives from the company, but no. Damien wouldn't listen to me, ever. Now, look. What sort of war is this?'' Margaret Ban complained after she had tucked her brother in to get some rest. Barter sat in the living room of Margaret Ban's house, watching her complain bitterly about her elder brother. If only she knew that there was more than just a war among gangstas.''Where is Laura? Where did he keep her amidst all this madness?'' Margaret Ban dared to ask Barter.Barter licked his lips and adjusted uncomfortably. He wanted to speak, but he hesitated and swallowed hard. Saying the name o

On this fateful day when Laura jovially entered Charles Ban's house as usual, he was determined to get to know her better.They took a trip into town together, as Charles Ban promised that her shopping was on him.Of course, Laura jumped on the idea because she loved to stock her home with enough grocery that would last her for so long until she won't leave the house for over a month.Seeing that Charles was willing to pay for them, she was determined to shop double of her normal rate, unknown to her that Charles had plans.Of course, she was going to pay him back in kind.Laura shopped and shopped that day, to her feel.It was also one of the days where Barter happened to be out in the city, fishing for any information concerning anything. As far as it had to do with the war or looking for Laura, it would make sense to Barter.Besides, Mr. Ban was in a state of complete defeat, and Barter needed to get him out of that state if they were going to move forward at all.Charles Ban and L

Mr. Ban was at home.Of late, he had not been doing too much and had not been making any public appearances. All he didmost of the time staying in his study and racking his brain on how to make a comeback. He was sitting in front of his computer, surfing the internet, and trying to see how he could make it out of his perpetual state of incoming bankruptcy when he heard footsteps coming from the corridor.Mr. Ban became alert. He had slowly started to regain his body. He had lost a lot of weight since the war and other extreme events happened.He knew Barter's steps enough to know that it was not Barter that was approaching him.Well, maybe, Barter and someone else.Laura Ban nearly dropped dead when she saw herself walking down the familiar dark corridor that she would love to never see again for the rest of her life.Her heart constricted the closer she got to the room where she could see a bright light shining from the door ajar. ''Barter!'' Mr. Ban bellowed and grabbed his gun,
