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
Six hours later. The police were scampering all over the city as unidentified men swarmed into the city, causing everyone to hurry back home. It was 8 AM yet, the streets were desolated as if there was a zombie apocalypse. Two groups of these strange men flooded the streets of the city.One group was ninjas, dressed in black and looked very sharp and smart, while the other group was martial artists. The group of martial artists was dressed in plain shirts, tucked into smart pants that were a bit lose. Most of them had tattoos covered up until their faces. When the two groups came together, they looked very intimidating to the extent that everyone in the streets had to hide. Who were they?In a convoy, they headed to Greg Chase's house. Greg, Don Black, and Bane were in Greg's house waiting for these mercenaries to turn up and as soon as they did, the convoy advanced to Greg's establishment. An open warehouse that could contain and accommodate all of them including Greg Chase's o
*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
Magnet was touring the city, looking for Laura Ban. The only thing he had been able to do so far was track Alina's killer via fingerprint and find out who the person was, but, he had not been able to go passed that stage. There was no other information about her. It was as if she wiped out everything that had to do with her from the land of the living.If not that Magnet had been to Alina's house recently and saw that the murderer had just left there, he would have concluded that Laura the murderer was dead because he could not find any other evidence.He had been looking for her to no avail before the war started, so he had to go back inside and wait for the turbulence between the gangstas in the city to die down before he went back on his mission to find Laura Ban, AKA Marina. The aftermath of Greg's direct attack on Mr. Ban left the city looking desolate.Nobody dared to step out of their homes, even though they could clearly see that the fighting had stopped. The air in the ci
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
Days passed. Weeks, and eventually months passed after the heavy attack.The city was back to normal, and everyone could go about their business without having to look over their shoulders.Mr. Ban did not reply to the attack from Greg Chase and his cohorts, moreover, he had not been seen since the day of the attack, and his men had been wiped out.Barter was also not seen around and Mr. Ban's club was still shut down.It was safe to say that Mr. Ban's empire had crumbled.The Vanity Place For Grown Kids was the most popular club in the city, and the fact that it was closed for such a long time, said a lot.As a result of this development, new clubhouses broke out in the city.Every single weekend, there was a launching of a new establishment that offered the same services that Mr. Ban used to offer, and most of these establishments belonged to Greg Chase.Mr. Ban had secretly returned to his house after recuperating at Margaret Ban's house and was merely observing the city.His incom
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
Charles Ban stepped out of the convenience and his eyes naturally darted directly to the spot where he had left Laura earlier. Although he knew her as Ramian and not Laura.When he saw that she was not there, he didn't feel any panic whatsoever, as he thought that she had just stepped to another stall to continue her shopping, but to Charles' surprise, he walked around the not-so-big shopping mall, and could not find anyone like Ramian, AKA Laura in it.''What the...'' Charles muttered and reached for his phone. He had just touched the phone when he remembered that he had not yet had the chance to take Ramina, AKA Laura's phone number from her. Charles' shoulder dropped, and he stared at the entire shop, hoping to catch a glimpse of Laura, but to his surprise, she was nowhere to be found.''Sir...sir...'' Charles faintly heard someone calling him from behind. Charles turned around quickly, confident that whoever was calling him had news concerning Ramina, AKA Laura's whereabouts.'
