"Is my base of operations an abandoned castle?"The man who was talking to Andrew representing all the workers in the castle, was a little embarrassed by Andrew's question and tried to explain himself as quickly as possible."No, Sir Andrew, it is not abandoned. It has been specially prepared to receive you. You have to go in and see the inside.""That's not how I meant it to sound, I'm surprised because it's amazing. Wait, be honest with me. Is this mine?""Yes, Sir Andrew, completely yours.""Wow! For someone who was homeless and living on the street, this is amazing!"Not long ago, Andrew remembered walking the streets of Sterling City starving, waiting for someone to give him something to eat.(I remember wandering the streets looking for butts to smoke and leftover food so that my belly would stop hurting, and so that I would have the energy to continue standing one more day.)In Andrew's memories, he walked slowly through the streets of Sterling City and people turned away as he
Arlin puffed on his cigar. He looked at Andrew and winking with one eye he pointed with the two fingers that held the cigar at Andrew."You need to know what lies beyond this life. The world is vaster than what you know and see. This throne was brought from the depths of Northland and will empower you to do what you never did.""You can't be serious!""But I am. It was repaired and we brought it here to become your throne. Legend has it that Julius once had the opportunity to sit on that same throne. And it was after his foresight that Caesar conquered Rome. It was this throne that gave Caesar what was his." Arlin spoke as if he were a lunatic and went back to sucking on his cigar with the burning tip."But how can that be possible?""It's just Andrew. Do you doubt my words?""Not at all, Arlin. How could I doubt you? It's because of you I'm here. And I really felt something coming from this throne.""Great. So, let you know that the more you use that throne, the closer you'll get to
Yelena, after her last mission, learned that she would have a two-day break at CLENDA BARIS because Handris wanted to make some changes in the structure of the boutique. Yelena was thinking about going out with her friends, but she was very thoughtful about the last mission she had done.*I murdered 3 people with stickers! How is that possible? So bizarre just thinking about it. Doesn't seem real to me.*"Plap!" Yelena slapped her face a few times, to see if what she was experiencing was really reality.Yelena decided to spend the day at home in fear of receiving a call or being recognized on the street for some of the things she had done in the past few days."Do I cook, or do I order something for lunch? I have so much time on my hands that I don't know what to do."Yelena would walk through her house and notice that it was practically done up. She spent the whole day at CLENDA BARIS and was hardly home except to sleep. So it was unusual for her house to be in disarray. She lived in
When she woke up, she was handcuffed to an iron pole, inside a dark room illuminated by two lanterns attached to the ceiling, one illuminating that man in the balaclava who was playing with some instruments on top of a wooden table. And the other illuminated her directly. Her head ached as if she'd hit something and her memory was blurred.*My Gosh...Where am I? What is he going to do with me?*She blinked and tried silently to free herself, but the man with the balaclava noticed that she had woken up. And he approached Yelena. There seemed to be an intercom near his mouth that altered the timbre of his voice."I know you'd like to get out of here. But I'm only going to let you out after you've answered a question. I know you know the answer, but I don't know if you're going to want to give it. It all depends on how quickly you can answer what I want to hear.""I don't know anything, really. I doubt I have any useful information for you.""Pow!" Yelena was hit by a punch in the stomac
The man went back to sticking the needle in Yelena's back."Oops! This is not where I wanted to put this. I put it in the wrong place. Let me do it again.""AHHH!" Yelena screamed in pain whenever that needle went into her ribs.The man took the needle out of Yelena's back and jabbed it hard again in the same spot."Hahaha! What an idiot I am I forgot how to do this. Let me try again."The man took out the needle and stuck it in Yelena's right leg. Making her continue to scream. Yelena cried a lot of all that pain."It wouldn't be hurting you if you had already told me what I want to know. I'm going to prepare some more of this liquid, to end this torture once and for all. I wanted to stay here for more hours, but since I only need 3 doses, and I need to take care of other matters. I have to leave soon."The man returned to the work table and prepared the last portion of that liquid.*I can't take this pain anymore. But it would be stupid of me to come this far to give up now. I will
"Get things ready, let's take Lincoln, today and now."Arlin drew on his cigar and looked closely at Andrew's face."You see guys. I think he just needed to have a base of operations to start doing operations.""HAHAHAHA!" the men there were laughing at Andrew."We were just waiting for the Patron order. We are here for whatever it takes.""Monsieur, I'm going right now to contact the leaders of the other areas of Lincoln.""Boss, I'm going to get my favourite weapon in case they want to trade fire."Arlin was releasing a lot of smoke from his mouth, and threw the end of that cigar to where those four men who personally served Andrew were, one of them caught the smoked cigar in mid-air.There was no dustbin and Arlin had to save his time. Arlin shoved his hands in his pockets and started toward the exit."Wait, Mr. Arlin.""Only Arlin. I work for you and not the other way around.""Yes, sorry. Arlin.""My time is ticking Sir Andrew, could you get on with it?""Ah, I wanted to know if
"Hello to everyone present. My name is Andrew Yearling. We can sit down and get the meeting started." Everyone sat down after Andrew spoke.Gabriel moved closer to Andrew's ear and began to whisper."Monsieur, they know you conquered West Lincoln in one day. And that's why they are so receptive. You have this meeting in your hand. Just say what you want and they will surely obey you."Andrew didn't answer Gabriel with his mouth, he just gestured."I asked you to gather all of you, because I intend to keep all of Lincoln. This is where I want to have my personal team. This was the city where I was born, and I think it's fair to make it big like many others out there. For people to speak of Lincoln with pride, not just to report criminal incidents"The men sitting at the table listened to Andrew calmly, and one of them who was scratching his beard positioned himself well in his chair and looked at Andrew putting his hands across the table.It was customary in that kind of meeting for ev
The men who were pointing weapons at Andrew were astonished at the small object. And one of them started sniffling."Sniff! Sniff!""It cannot be!""OH, MY GOD!""It was him?"The reactions were all different, but they showed surprise.(I wonder what this eye patch represents to them? Arlin also always has something weird up his sleeve)Those men began to lower their weapons as they looked at the visor and at Andrew. They looked a little scared of him now.(I don't think I can hesitate now. So far my men have kept calm. I'm kicking off)Andrew took out the G9 he had and fired a close-range "BANG!" to the man who proposed to attack him. To the cause of all that momentary confusion.The man fell to the floor.Boulevard was the first to react and wanted to shoot Andrew, but before his gun could point at him "SWFFFTT", a shot passed through the window of that meeting room and through Boulevard's head exploding blood in the face of the nearest man, and hitting Nicholas in the leg because o
