"I handled this years ago!" Jon yelled at Viktor Grey."And you failed!" Viktor retorted. Jon just sighed as he kept his gaze on the ground. He had to play cool. He knew that nothing good would come from offending Viktor Grey."I met Oliver today. After killing Ivy, I wanted to run. He tracked me down. I still don't know how he did it, managed to track me amidst the crowd. He wore something over his face but I knew. I could see the eyes. They stared at me and it reminded me of everything I had done. So, Viktor, I'm tired of working for you. I gave up this life a long time ago. You already made me break my vow to my wife." Jon told Viktor who just chuckled. Then, Viktor Grey opened his laptop again and typed on it."Do you mean this wife?" He asked and showed him a video footage of Jon's wife being bound in ropes. Jon gasped when he saw the woman. Her mouth was taped shut and she could barely mumble."What the hell have you done?" Jon flared."I thought you needed some motivation," Vik
Oliver stood up and walked closer to him. Jon kept his eyes on Oliver all along, and when Oliver brought out his gun, he did not even flinch."You are not afraid of dying?" Oliver asked him. Jon just exhaled and stood up to face Oliver."I am not. I have done a lot of bad things in my life. So many bad things. But here I am trying to make peace with the one person that I know might never forgive me. I am sorry for what I did to you, Oliver Lionheart. But I do not want my family to suffer the consequences of my crimes. I want it all to be on me. Which is why I need your help to liberate them from Viktor Grey. I knew your father, and grandfather. They were good people. I know you are good as well. Please..." Jon soon fell on his knees before Oliver. Oliver just watched him for some time. He could not believe that his heart was telling him to help Jon."Fuck!" Oliver muttered. He should not even be considering that possibility! But then, he dropped his gun and sat back down."What do you
Viktor Grey stood outside the old warehouse with his goons. He constantly kept stomping his feet on the ground as time passed. At his side was Jonathan's family. They sobbed and moaned as they tried to make sense of the situation but they could not. They just hugged each other closely and sobbed."Be quiet!" A good yelled at them. "Oh, do not shout, Thomas. Leave them alone. They are frightened. Besides, they have every right to be..." Viktor Grey said as he approached them. He kept his eyes on them and smiled. The wife sniffled, an dragged herself backwards to protect her child."Why are you doing this to us? Let us go. We did not harm you. You have the wrong people." Jon's wife said to him as Viktor Grey crouched. He smiled, slowly ran his hand through her hair and exhaled."I'm terribly sorry for all you had to endure, but the thing is, this is the only way to get your husband to obey me. Your husband is a pretty stubborn man. Did you know that?" Viktor Grey asked and smiled."No.
Viktor Grey's face suddenly Darkened as Oliver said the words, but before he could react, Jon shot him on the shoulder. It was a missed shot, Jon had intended to shoot him in the heart. Viktor Grey yelled as he crashed to the ground, and as Jon was about to take another shot, Viktor's men opened for on them.Oliver quickly dashed up and took his gun out. He started shooting at the men who were a bit experienced with guns. They hid behind the pillars of the abandoned building as bullets flew through the air. Jon could see his family caught in the crossfire, and they kept screaming and whimpering as bullets flew past them."Jon, cover me!" Oliver yelled at Jon who nodded. Then he dashed towards Jon's family and began to take them out of the fire. They kept whimpering as Oliver dragged them to safety, but then, a bullet grazed Oliver's shoulder."Argh!" Oliver groaned. The bullet barely missed him. He scoffed as he returned to his shooting spree. "What the hell is taking your shadows so
Oliver returned to the old warehouse. He felt a triumph unlike any other as he drove back. Viktor Grey was finally gone. He had done the most difficult task ever. Oliver just smiled as he stepped out of the car. The night had taken a different turn. And at that time, it was quiet in the warehouse. The shadows stood outside, all arranging their weapons back into place. When they saw Oliver, they stood at attention as he came down. Oliver's eyes rolled to the side and settled on Jon, who lay on the ground bleeding from a bullet wound.Oliver walked closer to him as his family sobbed. They gazed at Oliver as he approached."Did you do it?" Jon asked Oliver and he nodded."What happened to you?" Oliver asked him."Well, I had to save my wife's life. The thing about what I do is that ten years is a long time to get sloppy. And I did not realize how sloppy I have been until now..." Jon said and groaned, but his wife shushed him and ran her hand through his hair.Oliver looked at the wound.
"What the hell did you just do?" Gerald barked at Rebecca as he jumped from the bed. His breath had become heavy and he just glared at her like someone looking at a ghost. Rebecca just walked past him and sat down on the bed, frowning as she did so."What the fuck did you just do?" He asked her again, taking powerful strides towards her."Something we should have done a long time ago. It's long overdue for Oliver Lionheart to get busted. We have the power and if it means that I have to force his hand to give me my money, then I will do so," she said to him and pascal nearly exploded in anger."Do you have any idea how foolish that sounds? You just threw away your only leverage. Do you even know what you have done? Oliver will not take it lightly with you. He will hunt you and he will destroy you!""What's the big deal about him anyway? You all worship him like he's a god. Well, newsflash, he is not! He is just as human as the rest of us and I have no reason to be afraid of him." She s
"Pascal?" Oliver asked in a tone that suggested slight irritation. He was not in the mood for any of Pascal's shenanigans."Mr Lionheart, would you mind stepping outside for a moment?" Pascal asked over the phone and Oliver frowned. What the heck did he want this time?"Come inside. My servants will show you to my study." Oliver told him and hung up. He sighed and looked at sypher."How would you like to receive payment?" He asked her and she giggled. "Um, I'll ask for my payment someday sir. But for now, why don't you just let them accumulate? I hope you will not forget the things I've done for you in the past." She said to him and Oliver smiled."How could I even do that? You remind me so much of my sister. She is as stubborn and resilient as you are. However, you have never told me about your family. Where are they?" Oliver asked her and sypher stuttered."Well, sir, you do not need to know for now. Don't you worry. I will take care of business here. Why don't you go over and atte
Viktor Grey gasped as he opened his eyes. The bright light from the room pierced his eyes and he squinted, shuddering as the pain swept through his body. He tried to stand up, but the terrible pain he felt in his thorax made him crash down again. Viktor Grey exhaled, as he tried this time to focus on the light. The room became more visible to him. He slowly roamed his eyes around as he looked at the large room with very expensive furniture. They were so Grand that he was certain some of them had been bought off the dark web. He braced himself again as he tried to stand up, but he felt a sharp pain that pushed him down again."Ah!" He exclaimed. The pain made him weak, and he did not like to feel weak. He wanted to be powerful at all times. And where the fuck was he? Then, for the last time, he braced himself and got up from the bed. His legs trembled as he tried to stand, and he frowned when he felt so useless.He took one step in front of the other and managed to approach the large
