Chapter 3 - Aftermath

*Vincent Presses a button on his desk which calls any random servant* * Jamal walks in* "My goodsir what do you require of me?" says Jamal. Jamal is 5'5ft dark skinned African who has been working for the Vanderbilt's for all of his life and so did his parents, Jamal comes from a family who were known to have their own unique style of fighting and Vincent was quite pleased with Jamal the way he got the job done. "Meet with Raven Blackthorn at 2:30am. I want you to give him an offer."said Vincent with a peculiar smile on his face.

At 2:30am, Roman went to the spot to get the money but he was very cautious incase this was all a trap to get rid of him. Roman was very confident in his abilities to be able to take down any foe but he knew that fighting wouldn't allow him to get out of any situation. Roman had already been at a building at 12:00 am incase of the chance that he was about to be betrayed so he kept watch for anything unusual and he had seen 4 snipers getting positioned by a 5'5ft dark skinned African. He knew the location of the snipers so he hired 6 snipers from the dark web. The dark web is a place where a lot of police officers act like they are going to do any job you ask of them but when you ask for it, it will turn out that you just got baited by the cops but Roman knew some people who were legit because of him being in his industry for a long time and earning quite a big name for himself. He hired 4 snipers on the other 4 snipes and 2 snipers for Jamal. After setting all this up he went in the disguise of a japanese man. Roman then went towards Jamal knowing full well that Jamal could do nothing to him but Jamal didn't know that and so Jamal said to Roman with a smirk on his face," You must be Raven Blackthorn! My master has an offer for you! You can either try to get this money by fighting me but you must know that I have been trained to fight ever since a young age! You may be Raven Blackthorn and I know that I shouldn't underestimate you so I thought I should tell you not to underestimate me either." to this Roman replied," What's the other option?" He would normally kill an opponent instantly without giving them the chance to speak but he knew he was dealing with Vincent and disobeying him could mean having a target on his back for a lifetime. Jamal replied to Roman's question in a voice that showed that he was looking down on him which irritated Roman," Your quite the wise man I see! You know not to mess with Vincent! Well the other option is for you to work as a personal assassin for him and you will be given everything you want! You know better than not to mess with Vincent don't you?" To this Roman replied in a deep voice with his hand raised which told all the snipers to shoot their targets," Your fucked" and suddenly 6 shots were heard, Jamal got shot in his head and chest immediately killing him and the other four snipers were killed in an instant and 2 of them fell from their spots onto the ground. The snipers had been told by Roman that the money would be given to them from the car and so all six snipers went to take the money from the car after Roman took all 3 of the bags containing all the money. Roman told the snipers, " This is only 20 percent of what that is in the car. You guys can have the rest." The moment the six snipers went into the car the car exploded. After that there were police sirens being heard but Raven Blackthorn had already gotten away. Raven went on top of a building with no people and checked all the money comfortably and destroyed all the tracking devices in the bag but concerned that there may be more he put the money in a different bag and then escaped that building before more people sent by Vincent could come to kill him.

8 Years Later…

"Mister President! Our spies have informed us that the country of Chromaterra is planning to attack with all their might in five days! What should we do? They have a bigger army than us!" said a man dressed in all black. The president replied, " Agent! We have better weapons and our army is better than theirs though they aren't opponents that we can take lightly. Before they can start their most powerful attack. We will counter it by nuking that base and also nuke by nuking their capital " HanwerSlaw" ! Tell the army chief that we are going to do a nuclear attack!" To this the agent nodded and then called the Army Chief to inform him. The Army Chief "Joseph Franz" agreed and ended the call. He then muttered to himself, " Why does the responsibility go on me? We are the reason countless lives were lost and we are about to do it again! Those bastards won't even let me retire, they are gonna leave me alone only after I die!"

After 8 years I ( Olivia ) am fully healed. In the years that have passed, nearly anything is possible to heal. There are now many cures for cancer and many illnesses have been eradicated from the face of the planet. Even after all this I was told that Isabella will never be able to walk again! It is not because they don't have what it takes for her to walk but it's because we don't have the money! If Henry hadn't died Isabella would've been able to walk but the new leader of Harrington's "Harrold Harrington" has disassociated himself from the orphanages his father had built and said that all the cost will now not be on him as all the hospital fees and running all those orphanages costs a lot of money so Harrold simply refuses and this has shattered the public image of the Harrington's and he has little to no support by the public. I was less injured than Isabella and that is why I was able to recover before Harrold disassociated himself from all the orphanages causing many of the Orphanages to be destroyed and some being taken by the government. I am going to get a job as a police officer and try my best to earn money so that I can pay Isabella's hospital fee and also because I want to catch the culprit who is responsible for ruining my life.
