Chapter 57: Eliminated

~Roman POV~

"Ahh~"

Now, this is really a great day for me to handle.

After that flashy show, I did with those mooks in the bank making my flashy debut to the world.

Ah yes, siree.

This thief is going to high places that's right.

Turning on the TV in my private Penthouse I began to listen to the news of the dastardly actions I have done to Vale banks and made to Hunters look like total idiots.

I mean they just felt the need to clarify them is all.

"Hello all this is Lisa Lavender and this is your Vale news network. Just recently a bank heist has just been done in by a newbie Thief going by the name of Roman Torchwick who has single handily taken the Lien from the vault and made Huntsman look like jokes in comparison to this age."

Grinning at this taking my private cigar I laughed at the scene.

These people are really a riot now ain't yah.

There is no way these clowns can catch someone sly as myself.

The possibility?

Perish the thought.

Listening closely I see the Headmaster Ozpin himself voice his concerns as I got up with some freshly buttered popcorn listening to what the old geezer has to say for little old Roman.

"Here with me is Professor Headmaster Ozpin from Beacon Academy coming to us personally today to talk about the latest talks. Tell me Headmaster how does it feel that these two Huntsman from your academy failed to capture this thief."

"Ahem. I do agree that the Huntsman would've done better I can only agree they did their best with this thief. Despite Roman attention seeking I already have someone taking care of it immediately."

Huh?

Please who could exactly handle me?

The police?

Huntsman?

Nope.

They did nothing to me nor capture me and they ain't doing that today either.

Listening over I managed to hear the lovely Lisa begin to reply to the old fool the reason why as she spoke quite shocked I dare say, "Really! I didn't think you would send someone already to care for a small thief like Roman? Who would you send to go after him?"

Yeah, old man who -

"Why my fellow new Huntress the Yellow Dragon of course."

Ah….

Shit…

I heard a lot of things about this Huntress when I got here in Vale apparently this newbie came out of nowhere cause the current way of Huntress to be more careful around the firecracker of the code name Yellow Dragon.

So far from the grape vines, Huntress is a seriously one-tempered brat.

Like seriously I managed to hear from one of my fellow goons that one of them managed to cut off a piece of her golden locks of hair and next BAM!

Straight to the hospital on that poor schmuck.

Hmph.

There are even rumors that she has the backing of the Headmaster but I highly doubt it though.

At least the Headmaster knows to truly respect the one and only Kingpin or at least future Kingpin of crime Roman Torchwick to get someone after me.

I'm truly impressed really I am.

But there is no way -

*BAM*

Ahh!

Crashing through the door was someone wearing a mask as I recognized the attire and emblem of a flaming strike of a yellow dragon on the mask as I frown seeing this grabbing my cane -

*Swoosh*

"Shit!"

"Oh no, you don't!"

Hearing the robotic voice from her voice modifier she rushed me quickly as I barely got my cane in time to black the attack I began to sweat at how serious this newbie is going to be.

"Heh. Not close to my – "

"Shut. Up."

*Swoosh*

"Whoa!"

Trying to make small talk she reacted with a jab to my gut as her hair was ignited I dodged one of them as I worry about this and how the living hell she found me out!

I paid and bribed the owners of this place to not sell me out and she managed to find me out was baffling me.

No matter.

What I need to do is beat or distract her long enough to get out of here and hide.

From the way she looks to be a close-range fighter as she gets herself into a boxer stance as I try – Move!

*Swoosh*

She made a rush punch at my chest as I reacted enough to turn my body around in the moment but using the momentum I began to swing my cane at her with the force added to hopefully get her down.

*BAM*

*BOOM*

"Ah!"

Bingo managed to land a hit.

My cane managed to hit her mask as it revealed a small crack on it enough to show the blonde eyes colored red or scarlet perhaps as the shockwave from the blow of my cane managed to damage her Aura right.

Nope.

Looks like I managed to make her get angrier as she gets up as she began to rush me but this time I couldn't block them because I noticed the shockwaves she throws with her punch that wasn't there before.

And…

Maybe my eyes are playing tricks on me but…

*Swoosh*

*BOOM*

Avoiding another punch that had more power in it I narrowed my eyes now with confirmation now seeing how her semblance worked.

I thought I was imagining it before but she got a lot stronger physically when I hit her and that's when it clicked.

Her Semblance allows her to get stronger the more she's hit.

Well, ain't that just a pain in the ass now isn't it?

Fighting to win is no longer an option.

I have –

RIGHT – ACK!

"ACK!"

*SWOOSH*

*BAM*

*Shiii*

Like that being careful in the fight I didn't notice my own furniture and my rewards being my downfall as I got landed a hit and like that all my Aura cushioned all the damage but I lost my aura as it broke down on me.

Coughing lightly at this, I was dragged up by the neck by this beauty as she chokes on me, making it very hard for me to breathe as she spoke with venom, "Because of you… everyone that happened on that day died. Fellow teammates or survivors of broken teams… I won't let you escape this time…"

Her eyes I swore grew even redder as the more she got angry at me?

What the hell did I do to her?

I hardly knew her.

"Ack!"

Coughing some blood out as I made a small smirk I egged the kid what she meant as I asked her to take me away like those goodie two shoe Huntresses do, "Cough… whew… what are you talking about… huff… just take me away like a goodie girl you are… Ack!"

However, to what I was expecting I felt her tightening her grip as I had a hard time breathing for air I tried to claw my way out as she spoke coldly, "No. Ozpin gave me the green light to take you guys out. For. Good. Of. Remnant. Only under the condition if they did any criminal acts truly deprave and irresponsible that you jeopardize the future of Remnant. This though? This is nothing but personal to me."

What…?

*Crack*

Like that, I only saw darkness as I managed to see my cracked neck as I breathed my last.
