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

Roman threw the glass across the room and it landed on the wall, shattering too many pieces. He had been there. He had seen him, but he couldn’t do anything about it. Roman was still feeling feeble. He had laid his eyes on Floyd Helix, the man who had killed his father, but he couldn't do anything about it. At least not while there were people in the room. He could vividly remember the shock on Floyd’s face earlier today when he realized that he was still alive. Roman couldn’t believe this. He knew what Floyd had been thinking when he laid eyes on him. If he had known he was alive, he would have killed him too, because he knew he was a threat to him. Roman could barely laugh at the irony. He had bought a share in a company that I originally belonged to. It didn’t make any sense. Ben rushed into the room and found Roman breathing heavily. He had heard the sound of glass shattering and had rushed to see what was happening. His eyes went to Roman who seemed infuriated. It was probably

There was silence as the security guard took one last look around the museum. He was exhausted as he flashed his light at the expensive painting that had just arrived from Venice for display. If it went missing, he was going to lose his job. He yawned one more time and flashed his light at it, staring at it one more time. The painting was of a cat sitting beside what seemed to be a pharaoh. It was too dark to make out what the painting was, and his flashlight wasn’t helping matters. Losing interest in a matter of seconds, he yawned and walked towards the door. The security guard turned around and flashed his light one more time at the room before stepping out of it. He locked the door, using his access card to seal the room shut. And with that, he walked off to get a few hours of rest. Back in the room, and on the roof, three figures hovered. There was a buzzing sound coming from the panoramic ceiling. It seemed like a huge laser was making a hole in the ceiling.After a few minute
HANDS OF RETRIBUTION CHAPTER 85
“I see you’re still running petty crimes,” Roman said as he stepped out of the van. They were back at Oliver’s hideout which looked like a huge dimly lit garage. Surrounding them were huge artifacts which seemed to have Ben stolen by the crew. Roman knew them very well. He had stumbled across them once when he had been going for an auction. There he had met Oliver who had posed like a millionaire hoping to partake in the auction. But Roman had been suspicious of him because a few moments later, the room was filled with gas, and when he dispersed, the painting was gone. Roman had commended their work a few times, and always kept an eye on them. That was how he had been able to find them tonight. Anywhere there was going to be a huge art event, they were always going to be there. “This isn’t petty crimes,” Oliver said stepping out of the van with the huge black duffel bag in his hand. Roman chuckled and bit his apple again. When he realized that there was nothing left for him to bit
