HANDS OF RETRIBUTION CHAPTER 75
Roman held Nuo’s hand and he was slammed onto the ground wooden floor. He winced in pain and let out a low groan. Nuo looked down on him and smiled. Her long black hair was wrapped into a bun. Besides them stood Master Feng who had his arms folded. He was watching them as they were training. When Roman saw that he shook his head in disappointment, he knew he still had a long way to go. “You know I’m starting to think you’re taking this personally,” Roman said to Nuo. A bright smile flashed across her face making her light broken eyes shine. They were beautiful. Her pale skin was becoming slightly red because of the stress she had put her body through. It wouldn’t be long before she would need to rest herself. But Roman knew she was too tired to be tired. She was one of the best when it came to possessing endurance. Nuo could fight or train for hours without having to stop. It was impressive, and that was where Roman had learned never to give up. Her favorite saying was, “If your mi

Viper Don threw a glass at the wall and it shattered into pieces. The men who were seated behind his desk shivered in fear. They had expected him to react that way after getting the news from him. “What do you mean?” He asked. “We didn’t find anything,” Owen replied. Viper Don placed his hands on the desk. His face couldn’t be seen because of how dark the room was. Owen’s heart was thumping hard against his chest. He knew this had been a bad idea from the start. Choosing to work for someone like Viper Don only to disappoint him was the last thing he wanted to do. He had told Chris about this but he had insisted they would find the artifact. After convincing him for an hour to head Jack to the house, they searched it and found nothing. “Did you search properly?” Viper Don asked. Owen and Chris looked at each other. “Yes. Yes, we did,” Chris replied. “You’re lying!” Viper Don said, slamming his hand on the table. Chris and Owen shook in fear. There was no way Viper Don was going

“Just relax your body and reach into your mind,” Master Feng said. Roman nodded and closed his eyes. He relaxed himself and tried to reach for his mind. He had already begun his training. This was the third day, and he felt that he was approaching the end of the lessons. For the past three days, a lot has happened. Nuo and Lydia were now talking to each other and she was teaching her new lessons. As for him, he was stuck with his Sensei with Nuo barely speaking to him. Roman knew what it was about. She had gone off on him when he had won her. Roman had thought it was just her frustration from losing to him, but it was deeper than that. She was hurt, and he wondered what he had done to hurt her. “Focus, Roman!” Master Feng yelled. Roman gulped hard and nodded. He eased himself and shut out such thoughts from his mind, making it blank. Master Feng nodded as he saw this. “Good work, Roman. Now let your mind sync with your body,” he said. “Use it to command your body. The brain is th
HANDS OF RETRIBUTION CHAPTER 78
Roman stepped out of the house and found Nuo sitting by the tree. It was night and the cold breeze that kissed his cheek made him know that it wasn’t advisable to be out here. He watched her look at the night sky. There was a full moon tonight, and the moonlight bathed the whole environment in its beauty. Nuo was dressed in a black robe now as she sat on a concrete bench. Roman was contemplating talking to her. They weren’t on talking terms and he felt he was at fault. Earlier today, he had managed to defeat her father which was a big achievement for him. He was feeling like himself once more. He was feeling stronger, faster, and better than when he had first arrived. And he owed it all to them. Leaving for America tomorrow was going to come as news to her, and he wanted to tell her personally before leaving. There was a lot he had to do back at home. Viper Don was still out there looking for the artifacts, and he had to be there to put a stop to that. Selena was also on her own. He

BROOKLYN, NEW YORK. Ben sat behind the computer screen as he looked at what he was seeing. He had successfully broken into another company hoping to find more answers. There was something he was looking for. The answers to the accident of Lucien Lacroix. There had to be something Floyd Helix must have left behind. A clue. But so far, he had found nothing, and it was getting frustrating. Roman was back and was straight off to a meeting with the automobile company. It was their first board meeting. Selena was home with Lydia where it was safe. Lydia had told him something that left him in awe. Roman had feelings for someone else. It didn’t make sense to him. It was obvious Lydia was lying or jealous. Ben was aware of the feelings Lydia had for Roman and was probably frustrated when she found him kissing someone else. She had also told him about their time there. Roman had learned new skills and so did she. It was time they paid Viper Don for what he had done to Roman, but first Ben h

Floyd Helix could swear that he had seen this man before. It came as a shock as he stepped out of the elevator. There was an aura around that was familiar like they had met before. He reminded him of someone from his past, someone that he had hated so much, but couldn’t quite remember him. He would have to search the long list of the enemies he had killed before he could come up with the name, but unluckily for him, he didn’t make a list of that. The man was staring at him as he walked past him. Floyd smiled to make things less awkward. The man was glaring at him like he had pissed him off. There were hundreds of people he had pissed off in the past. If he wanted to get into an altercation he was ready.Instead, the man shoved his phone back into the pocket of his suit jacket and watched him pass him. Floyd gazed as he watched as he headed towards the conference room. He was late. But that wasn’t fully his fault. He was coming from New Jersey this morning, and he was slightly exhaus

Florence Weah’s heart was thumping hard against her chest as she stood before the door to her father’s study. He had asked to see her, and he wondered why he would want to do so. Her father only called on her if it was important. Making her the face of his plans wasn’t as enthralling as she thought it would be. It was only involving her in dangerous feuds. But she didn’t have a choice. She had to do what he asked because he was the only parent she had left. Florence held the doorknob and exhaled before swinging the door open. She stepped into the room and found a figure standing by the window. It was her father. She rolled her eyes as she closed the door behind her. She was tired of her father acting like he was invisible. It was amazing that everybody he worked with didn’t know what he looked like. There were no portraits of him at home. Every one of them had been taken down while she had been away. What made Florence more infuriated was that the photos of her mother were taken do

Eric Hilton stepped into the Deputy’s office unsure of what they had been summoned. Adam who was right behind him stepped in and closed the door. Deputy Behrens was behind his desk looking at a bunch of files. He didn’t seem to have acknowledged their arrival. There were a lot of questions going through Eric’s mind. They had a couple of unsolved murders and it was getting tiring. They had spent all week trying to find clues on both the murders, but nothing came forth. They were still at square one. The only suspect they had was Roman Lacroix, and he looked innocent. They had stumbled across him at the crime scene where he had been watching them wheeling Jermaine’s remains away. The mafia was a strong candidate also. It was found that Jermaine was working for the mafia and Roman also had a few connections within the mafia. Something was missing that he couldn’t quite piece yet, but he was still hopeful. Well, that had been until r had been summoned by Deputy Behrens. Deputy Behrens
