Oswald's leg connected neatly with the man's face, and the force behind the kick lifted him off the floor, and sent him crashing several meters backwards.The man landed in front of his fellow comrades and passed out instantly. Khalid had a look of disbelief etched on his face after watching Oswald knock his comrade out with a single kick in the head.The remaining two men hesitated to charge in for another attack, and they just stood there with their gazes fixed on their fallen friend.Khalid noticed the men weren't doing anything other than stand there like a bunch of cowards, so he voiced out angrily."What are the fuck are are you doing? Go take him down!" Khalid spat, his voice filled with anger. "After all, he's just one guy!" He added.Hearing the words of Khalid, the men regained their confidence. They shifted their gazes towards a table and grabbed a bottle.They smashed the bottle on a table and held the lower half that had a sharp end. Without wasting anytime, they charged
Edwin was placed in the ambulance gently and the nurses and doctors swiftly got inside so they can begin their journey to the hospital. Oswald also attempted to step into the ambulance, however, before he moved, he caught sight of one of the bullet of the men that had just attacked them lying there on the floor. He bent down and picked the bullet up to take a closer look at it. "What the hell?" Oswald exclaimed internally with his eyes widened after examining the bullet. He glanced at it for a few more moments before placing it in his coat pocket and got into the ambulance. The doors were shut and the ambulance drove off. The ambulance drove through the streets with its siren blaring, disturbing the whole neighborhood. After several minutes of driving, it finally pulled over in the compound of the hospital. The nurses and doctors swiftly got off the ambulance and brought out Edwin in the stretcher, and without wasting anytime they began to take him inside. They made sure th
"Are you now?" Herbert muttered. "Well, tell me, boy. Is it true you work for the Gambinos?" Herbert questioned.Hearing the question of Herbert, Noah's eyes widened slightly and his heart pounding in his chest."Listen to me, Mr Blackwood, it's not what you think." Noah swallowed heart with cold sweat trickling down his face."You came to me with a business proposal but you were secretly working for my enemy? What were you hoping to achieve in all of these? Eh?" Herbert questioned while straightening the long cane in his hand."Mr Blackwood, please hear me out." Noah pleaded. "Yes, I agree I am working for the Gambinos...but trust me I am not a member of their gang or get involved in their gang affairs." "I also heard you brought them along with you and they shot my son. But we will get to that part don't worry. For now answer this question.""Did they hire you so you can be feeding them information about us? Is that it?" Herbert questioned."No, sir! That's not the case. I only col
Birds chirping sounds could be heard as the morning sun rose, and the rays flickered into the room and shone brightly into Edwin's eyes. His eyelids lifted open as he slowly regained consciousness.After waking up fully, he glanced around the place in bewilderment as he tried to figure out where he was. After scanning the whole room he finally realized he was in a hospital."What the hell happened?" Edwin pondered internally with a slight look of puzzle as he scratched his sporting black hair. The last thing he remembered was him trying to help Oswald, and then he blacked out after hearing a loud banging sound."I was shot?" He wondered after noticing the bandage tied around his belly. The sound he heard before blacking out was that of a gunshot, and with the bandage around his stomach...it wasn't hard for him to connect the dots and realize what happened.As Edwin was busy with his thoughts, the entrance door of the room flung open and a man stepped inside. He was clad in a long bla
Edwin's eye widened slightly after hearing the words of Oswald, and a slight look of puzzle appeared on his face."What do you mean, Oswald?" Edwin blurted."Those men that attacked, they used these type of bullets." Oswald informed as he slid his right hand into his pocket and brought out a black bullet. He tossed the bullet towards Edwin who caught it swiftly and glanced at it.Glancing at it, Edwin could see two letters written boldly on it. "BW", which means Blackwood in full."That's our family's logo on it. I do not recognize the faces of those men meaning they are not working for our family. It means someone from our family hired them to attack us, and that person gave them that bullet." Oswald bellowed."And why do you suspect Marcellus?" Edwin inquired."It's just an assumption. I am not sure yet, though. But if I am to suspect someone it would be him. Marcellus." Oswald remarked. "Marcellus has always been arrogant and also paranoid, and I'm guessing he must have been jealo
As Herbert said those words, both Edwin and Oswald glanced at him in bewilderment. "What are you taking about, Father?" Oswald questioned with a puzzled expression. Hearing the words of Oswald, Marcellus swiftly shifted his gaze towards him and spoke up, "Yeah, Edwin was shot during the mission last night, right? Noah Sturridge came with the Gambino boys and they took us by surprise." Marcellus said swiftly. "I...I don't understand. What the fuck are you talking about?" Oswald voiced out. "Yeah, what are you talking about, brother?" Edwin chimed in. The words of the two brothers was now getting Herbert really concussed, and he just stood there in silence with no clue of what is going on. Marcellus's expression darkened as he moved closer to both Oswald and Edwin, and he gave both of them a death stare. Catching sight of the look on Marcellus's face, Oswald finally understood what was going on. He knew Marcellus must have lied to his father that Edwin got shot during the
After a few more minutes, Oswald pulled out his right hand from his pocket and removed the cigar in his mouth before speaking."Sending men after your own brothers, eh? That's very classy I must say." Oswald said. "And to be honest, I didn't see that coming." He added with smoke oozing out of his mouth."I don't know what you are talking about, Oswald." Marcellus mumbled as he lights a cigarette and took a puff. "Of course you don't know what I am talking about." Oswald said sarcastically. "You sent those guys after me and Edwin last night and Edwin ended up getting shot and you stand there telling me you have no idea what I am talking about?!""Edwin was shot during our mission last night, this all I know. And I also knosthat you hid in the fucking car like a coward." Marcellus said as he blew out smoke from his mouth. "Aren't you ashamed, Marcellus, eh? You were so jealous to the extent that your hurt your own family! What type of a monster are you!" Oswald voiced out. "Yeah, you
Two weeks after the shooting incident and Edwin was finally discharged from the hospital after recovering fully. His father sent two men to go pick him up at the hospital and drove him back till the Blackwood estate in their black Bentley..After a few moments of driving, the Bentley pulled over in front of the mansion and the driver stepped out of the car and opened the door. Edwin emerged from the car majestically and made his way inside.Walking into the mansion, Edwin was greeted with a slap on the head from behind, causing him to turn around. He saw a familiar guy wrap his arms around his neck and began to ruffle his hair aggressively."Welcome back, you bastard." Roderick greeted with his arm around Edwin's neck. "How are you feeling, brother?" He asked."Uh..I'm good. All good." Edwin affirmed."That's good." Roderick said. "Father needs us in the meeting room. He wants to inform is about something important." "Can't I pass? I literally just got back from the hospital." Edwin
