Is this destiny?

Chapter 1469 - Annihilation Of Shadow Ravens (2)

By the early morning of September 6, several hundreds of the members of the Army of Chaos arrived from the United States and were in various locations across Europe, waiting for the signal to commence attacks.

All the generals were present as well, other than Oni and Michael. They all heard that Oni and Michael were captured and tortured and they were eager to get vengeance. Nala and Haru joined, and Kitty took her place next to her mom and dad (aka Sarah and Aiden).

Aaron looked at the map of Europe which marked their units and targets and thought how it looks like they are about to invade Europe. And in a way, they are.

Sarah and Aiden devised a plan where they will empty the warehouses of the Shadow Ravens and keep a number of bases that have strategic value across Europe in France, Austria, Hungary, Bulgaria, and Poland. Everything else will be destroyed as a sign that the Shadow Ravens organization does not exist anymore.

The Ceresc Solutions will remain the main base of the Army of Chaos in Europe. After some slight modifications, they can use new bases fully and this will allow them to act swiftly through Europe.

Together with the base in Milan, the Army of Chaos will have a total of seven bases in Europe!

Sarah and Aiden wanted to keep more than these five as new bases, but they had to admit that they don't have the manpower. Spreading their people too thin would be a mistake that makes them vulnerable to attacks.

Of course, they have Eve and the drones, but this event proved that if the enemy has the equipment to disable electronics, it's down to people and the traditional way of fighting. Eve and gadgets give them an advantage when the enemy does not expect them.

Noah expressed his concern that even these five bases are too much, and only when Sarah assured him that in the next three months there will be no further expansion in Northern America, he got pacified. But Noah had to bring out the point that Sarah said how until the end of the year they will not do any attacks because they will focus on scouting locations of the Voronin family, and here they are, invading Europe!

Noah suggested opening additional fight clubs in Europe so that they can recruit talented members faster, and Aaron assured them that he will handle it.

Felix got alerted that he needs to increase the production of Eve devices and drones. He is already at maximum capacity! Luckily, his two apprentices (Beck and Nico) agreed to help him out. They are not generals (yet) so they are available to start right away.

The jet carrying Michael and Oni landed in Los Angeles before dawn on September 6. As soon as they landed, a helicopter took them straight to the roof of the LA Medical Center. The medic from the Army of Chaos accompanied them to explain to JoAnna what he did so far. Emma was there as well to help out, and she will be in charge of Michael's and Oni's rehabilitation.

JoAnna praised the medic for his quick thinking. If the finger was not preserved well, there would be no chance of reattaching it. But they didn't have much time to talk, because the time was running out. It was almost nine hours how Jesse cut off Oni's fingers and they could not delay the surgery.

The medic offered his assistance during the surgery, and JoAnna accepted. She does not know about his skill level, but he can start by helping Emma who was already in the operating room.

The second helicopter took Jesse to the main base of the Army of Chaos, where she was imprisoned in a cell without any windows, so she assumed that it's underground. She was unconscious, and she had no idea where she is when she woke up.

When a man in the black uniform came to give her a meal, she understood that the Army of Chaos imprisoned her.

She wanted to alert the Shadow Ravens of her location, but she realized that they took all her devices when they stripped her and dressed her in a light gray jumpsuit. It happened in the flight, while she was unconscious. They even took her tooth out! The one which had a GPS transmitter in it. Like this, she is helpless and without a way to ask for help and without a hope that someone will find her. She was unaware that by the end of the day there will be no one left to search for her, even if she finds a way to contact her organization.

Jesse thought how all this is Michael's fault! If he didn't snoop around, she would still be enjoying her life in Kenya! And instead of enjoying her life, she is imprisoned. She regretted that she didn't kill Michael, or at least his lover (aka Oni).

Oni was in the operating room when the attacks on the locations of Shadow Ravens commenced. As soon as Michael's right hand was in a cast, he went to the surgery wing. Michael was staring at Oni during her surgery through the small glass window on the door. The surgery lasted several hours, but for Michael, it was the same if it was minutes or hours because all of his senses were numb due to medications he got and because his heart ached to the point of fainting.

As for the Shadow Ravens, a number of operatives avoided the attacks, and Angelo put a bounty on their heads; just how Michael was being hunted by assassins several years ago, they experienced the same fate.

Mathew and Angelo were happy with the outcome. With minimum casualties, they expanded their influence (and their wealth).

Mathew acquired the main base of the Shadow Ravens in Dublin. It's a massive building close to downtown, full of high-end gadgets and equipment. Thanks to the data Sarah provided him, his men walked into the building like that is their home. And now it is their home! Mathew even got paperwork which states that he is the owner of the building! He didn't ask Sarah how she managed to pull that off, but he told her that he owes her one; a big one. Other than that, Mathew kept a few more locations, but his favorites were several warehouses, full of various things which are worth a lot of money on the black market.

Angelo was pleased that he expanded to Africa. It is an area full of possibilities. Other than that, he got bases in Spain, Greece, Macedonia, and one in the South of France.

As the attacks proceeded and reports trickled in, Aaron's headache increased. He needed to secure trucks that will transport the goods from the warehouses which they captured to secure locations. Sarah and Aiden didn't want to keep the warehouses, it's a waste of manpower considering that their warehouses in Italy (Milan base), and Romania (the Ceresc Solutions) were empty. Once warehouses owned by the Shadow Ravens were emptied, they burned them to the ground.

After they completed the attacks, Sarah called JoAnna to hear the updates related to Oni and Michael.

Oni's surgery was a success. Her left ring finger is attached, and the blood flow is established. However, it will take at least a few weeks until they can confirm the percentage of functionality restored. Other than the severed ring finger, her middle finger was broken as well, and it's in a cast.

Michael's cast will be removed in four weeks and after that, they will see about further treatment.

Both Michael and Oni will need to go through rehabilitation with Emma. And JoAnna didn't want to make assumptions if they will have permanent consequences.

Other injuries will heal without any problems.

With this, Sarah sighed in relief. "We can go to Ceresc Solutions.", she told Aiden while patting Kitty's head.

"You don't want to go and see Oni and Michael?"

Sarah declined. "Not today. Based on what we know, both of them messed up and they will be upset and apologetic. If we make an appearance, they will only start apologizing more for making us move to rescue them. Let's give them space. We can go tomorrow."

Aiden agreed.
