After Your Disappearance.

"Edwardo, I'm planning on selling my store. Would you know someone who'd be willing to buy it?"

"I can buy it. You don't need to look for someone."

"Okay, And After everything's settled here, We'll be leaving California for good."

"Huh? Why? I thought that Derrick already left the Token after that tragic incident?"

"Yeah, I just want to safeguard my daughter properly without worrying any dangers that might arise. Since alot of individuals now know my whereabouts."

"Well I guess it can't be helped."

"What about our contract?"

"You already know that our contract only validates once you're within California, Once you leave here it'll be nullified instantly."

"Okay Edwardo, Thanks for letting me stay in California for these past few years."

....

....

I vaguely remember our last conversation, It truly has been a long time since he left.

After that tragic incident occured, After losing his wife, He never sought to take revenge. But instead fled the country for the sake of his daughter.

Taking revenge unto Derrick would surely involve his daughter once more.

Having someone you truly care, Can really change a person.

The Killer machine known as Ghost, An individual who doesn't let anything pass once he's determined.

Even after almost losing his life, For the sake of a comrade who he only happened to know in his Association.

To receive a painful blow once again and ignore it, Having loved ones truly is scary.

Edwardo sat unto his chair and faced towards his desk that were filled with alot of paperwork.

His gaze were set unto the messy desk while his mind was completely wandering in thoughts.

After Ghost left and vanished along with his daughter, Alot of things happened.

Derrick's desperation to kill his biological sister continued, His willingness to ascend in his father's position truly derived him and turned him into another person who has succumbed to his greed and ambitions.

To even killing his sister, Just for the sake of his own ambition became the sole proof of him being insanely devoured by greed.

His continuous attacks gifted Danya several unpleasantries even within his father's territory.

Danya who ended up retaliating on pleading for her father's assistance made Derrick exiled from their family.

Which his father left him a few words before completely exiling him from the Echevaliers, "Derrick. Even if we become demons, Killing a family member for the sake of your own ambition is still unacceptable."

While Derrick begged his father sincerely through the phone, His father Danilo had already concluded his final decision.

"Danya, Will be my successor. I cannot let an insane person like you obtain true power." This, Was Danilo Echevalier's final words before cutting ties with his son, Derrick Echevalier.

Derrick who only wanted his father's attention despaired and later on vanished from publicity, Scared that Ghost might hear about him being exiled from the Echevaliers. Without his father's backing, Ghost would surely take his revenge. Derrick immediately fled, Even leaving his own territory into ruins which was sooner overrun by terrorists.

While Alheim continued managing his Association after he repaid his debt towards Danya, The M association continued their work and soon gave birth to a new Ghost.

While years passed, The world continued aging while chaos rained throughout the globe as always.

SIRN's new creations, Terrorists revolting, Government fighting, Trivial celebrity dramas occuring and Civil war in some countries, Alot of things occured through the years that had passed.

"Well time truly flies by without you knowing it."

*Knock*

"Sir Edwardo, About the business plannings we ought to discuss with the foreigners, They wish to meet you this afternoon."

"Tell those romanians to wait 'cause I'm busy."

"But sir, They've been waiting in the hotel for nearly a week now."

Edwardo sighed as he poured a wine into his empty glass, "Fine tell them I'll meet them at 4:00 in the Gallando Hotel." He said.

"I will inform them." Then the subordinate slowly left.

Edwardo drank the wine in his glass with a single gulp and took a deep breathe, "I wish that my wife was still here and help me attend to these shitty business meetings. She was truly great at these kind of stuff."

Meanwhile, In russia.

Danya was seen wearing an expensive coat with brightened red dress within, And sat appealingly infront of the President and some people in a confined space with military flags displayed all over the walls.

"It seems that Ukraine already announced the ownership of the newly found oil mine in the borders of Kharkiv and russia." Danya said in a composed manner.

The president slammed his hand unto the wide table and said in an angry tone, "How dare they claim the Oil mine which our people discovered!"

"Would another war occur at this rate?" The vice president asked.

"Ukrainian soldiers are currently guarding the Oil mine which shows that they're determined to fight for it. Some of my Informants told me that Ukraine already placed several infantries and are ready to move out anytime." Danya said.

"Well if they want war! Let's give it to them!" The president yelled in a loud tone.

While Danya stared at the people infront of her with composure, If we have another war against Ukraine, Then the U.A would get involved and sooner or later, Another world war would arise. She thought.

Danya sighed, Why does this world continue to be like this.

Meanwhile, In the Red mountains of Nevada, A chopper landed unto a helipad which was fully hidden within the mountains.

An unknown individual wearing a robotic attire came out of the chopper and stood at a circular mark that was placed in the mountain grounds.

Elevating chain sounds were heard bluntly while the floor that the unknown individual slowly went downwards like an open elevator.

As the surroundings darkened, The unknown individual continued to go downwards while vaguely seeing his surroundings.

And after some time, The damp dark area which the open floor elevator went through, Got enlarged as it passed through a large underground landscape area filled with several buildings.

Beneath the Elevator, A paved road was seen leading towards a bullet train.

Then the Unknown man in robotic figure went inside the bullet train and took off within a very fast pace.

Inside the bullet train, The unknown individual sat unto one of the seats next to a person wearing a polkadot cowboy hat.

"What's the plan?" The unknown individual asked.

The guy with a polkadot cowboy hat grinned mischievously and replied, "Well first, The boss ordered us to stir some chaos."

The unknown individual in robotic figure asked, "So? Where's the target location?"

"Keke, Japan." The cowboy guy replied with a scary smile on his face.

.....

....

...

Meanwhile, In Los Angeles California.

Edwardo got out from his car and was escorted by his men as he went inside the Gallando Hotel.

The desk manager politely bowed followed by some workers bowing towards Edwardo who quietly passed through the hallways.

As he entered the Elevator, And reached the top floor.

A large corridor surrounded by Hotel rooms from both sides were seen, While a certain room from the furthest to the back was heavily guarded by two black guys dressed in Black suits.

"This way Sir Edwardo." The guard said as he opened the door.

Edwardo then went inside and saw four romanians and a single asian.

"Please be seated sir edwardo." The romanian said.

Edwardo then sat arrogantly infront of them as he opened the vodka which was placed on the table infront of them.

"Grab me a glass Dylan." As Edwardo ordered his escort.

Dylan then placed an empty glass infront of Edwardo, While Edwardo filled the glass with vodka and drank it.

"So, What is this Business planning you've wanted to talk about?" He asked vigorously in a demanding tone.

The romanian gulped as he got overwhelmed by Edwardo's intimidating pressure, "Well Sir, As you may know. Our Company wanted to propose you on expanding the Merchandising factories we own and would love to have you as an Investor."

"Is this the business planning you've all wanted to discuss with me?" Edwardo arrogantly asked.

"Yes sir.---" "And would there be any merit for me if I invest in your business? How do you call this planning?" Edwardo intervened in an angered tone.

The romanian immediately got up and tried to please Edwardo who was about to leave any second, "Sir if you would just listen. I would guarantee you that you'd love it."

Edwardo drank another glass of vodka and leaned infront, "So explain it to me." He said.

The romanian grinned as he explained, "You see....."

.....

....

...

Meanwhile in a room filled with antique decorations, School papers scattered on the ground, Make up kits widely opened infront of a Desk mirror.

A blonde girl was seen asleep at her pink designed bed with fluffy teddy bears surrounding her completely.

*Knock* *Knock*

"Hey Sweetie! It's time to wake up, Or you'll get late." As the voice of James got heard from beyond the door with posters attached on it.

The girl slowly woke up, "Yes. I'm awake!" She yelled.

"No need to yell at papa." James said as footsteps got heard as he left.

The girl rubbed her eyes as she yawned and opened the curtains within her room, "Wooh, Another bright sunny day." She said as she picked up a picture frame that was placed by the table beside her bed.

"Mama, Please once again look after your daughter." Jasmine uttered happily as she hugged the picture frame that had Jenna's picture displayed in it.

Chapter End.
