In the morning after celebrating the new year, an alarm clock started to ring, so a beautiful woman opened her eyes and stretched out her arms.

As she yawned, she moved the white silk blankets that covered her body. When she sat on her bed, the door to her room opened and a woman in maid clothes entered.

"Miss Olivia, breakfast is ready and her father is waiting for you right now."

Olivia caressed her face and gave the maid a smile. "Thank you so much for waking me up, Ava. You can tell my father I'll be ready in a few minutes.

I would also like you to prepare me a mango juice. For some reason, I really want to drink something with mango."

The maid nodded and left the room so she could head towards the dining room. As she walked down the hall, she was able to listen to the news on the radio.

'In breaking news, a shootout between members of the police and a former morgue worker occurred near Strawberry International Airport late at night.

The individual known as John Sinn was on his way to the airport when a patrol signaled him to stop for a routine inspection.

However, the man stopped his vehicle and at that precise moment took out an assault rifle for the exclusive use of the army. As a result, the two officers who were on the patrol were completely riddled with bullets.

After this, an exchange of bullets began between the murderer and the airport security that lasted about 15 minutes before the police and members of the SWAT team arrived at the place where Jhon had been held.

In an anti-terrorist maneuver, they managed to eliminate the murderer in less than 5 minutes, however the death toll is a great tragedy.

21 innocent people died on the spot and another 50 were injured and are currently in city hospitals.

14 policemen and airport guards were also killed and 15 wounded.

Today, Governor Sam Smith will give a conference at noon together with Commissioner Henry. According to the words of the Governor's spokeswoman, a bill will be proposed to toughen the rules against automatic weapons in the state.

Also, in other news in the state of Ohio in the city of Pebble there was an explosion in an old canning factory. The explosion was so big that it destroyed 10 streets in all directions.

The authorities do not rule out that it is a terrorist attack…'

Olivia who had listened to the radio a bit could only sigh and shake her head before going downstairs to the dining room.

When she arrived, she opened the door and could see her father sitting reading on her tablet, so she Olivia sat in front of him and gave him a sincere smile.

"Good morning Dad."

Olivia's father who was Governor Sam, put his tablet on the table and looked at his daughter with a smile as he took off his glasses.

"Good morning Olivia, I hope you slept well because today will be a very busy day due to what happened in the city of Strawberry.

You will have to accompany me to the press conference at noon and later we will have to go on a small tour to the hospitals where the injured are from the misfortune that occurred that night."

Sam took a deep breath and closed her eyes as he caressed his forehead.

"The depraved act of that murderer is a serious blow to the prestige of our family and especially to my career as governor.

I always thought things would be pretty easy once I could be governor, but I guess people can't control his destructive impulses.

Fortunately for us, we have the full support of the Flanagan family. They will help ease the load off our shoulders.

Because many of the civilians who were killed were workers in the various factories of the Flanagan family.

With your help, the pressure on us will simply be reduced a lot and we will be able to move forward once we give the people a solution and a culprit.

I don't like to admit it, but in this case we will have to cooperate with the federal government in order to efficiently find the arms dealers who sold that automatic assault rifle."

Olivia who had a rather angry face, looked at her father seriously.

"Father, but you know that the Flanagan family is a family of murderers. They ended the life of my best friend!"

Olivia slammed the table angrily. "There may be no evidence against them to prove they are guilty of Dilan's murder.

But you know very well that they are a criminal group that hides behind the facade of being an exemplary family. They are just a group of murderers who do not benefit society at all!"

Olivia, at that moment, began to cry as she bowed her head. "Why do we continue to allow them to exist when they are a danger to everyone?"

Sam opened her eyes and showed a little sadness. "Olivia, you are too young to understand how the world works, but luckily you are my daughter.

So I can tell you a little bit about how the world really works, it may be that you believe that society needs to be completely good.

But you should know that there is no such thing as too white or too black. Society is only a gray color which has variations in tonality.

With this, I am trying to tell you that in a completely gray world, we should always choose the one that affects us the least.

In this case, the Flanagan family is a necessary evil for the state as they efficiently block other criminal groups from trying to enter the city of Strawberry.

Although it pains me to say it, the city of Strawberry is very important to the state, as it is the industrial hub of the state and is the state's equivalent of Pittsburgh.

With the only difference that the industry in the city of Strawberry never left the state so we can maintain a strong city despite the adversities in the world.

Unfortunately, the Flanagan family is a lesser evil that should continue to exist, not to mention that they have contacts in the FBI and at least many congressmen who support them.

I know you hate them for Dilan's death, but even I'm not sure if they're to blame.

Either way, you must prepare yourself mentally because in a week you will enter Strawberry University, the Flanagan family has promised to keep you safe while you study at the university."

Olivia looked at her father quite disappointedly and clenched her fists tightly as she was angry, but she knew she couldn't do anything to change her father's decision.

Unfortunately, it was her destiny as the daughter of a prominent politician. She was doomed to be a small caged bird with no control of her destiny.

  • Monica's rescue and the new reality

    In a warehouse in the city of Strawberry Monica was sitting in a small cell looking only at an artificial light coming through the door to enter the cell. Monica, despite being tied up, was not worried because she knew that her husband would free her from that place without much trouble, so she just closed her eyes and waited patiently. While this was happening in another part of the city, Killian, who was smoking a cigarette, carefully looked at a map of an old warehouse while a group of men in bulletproof suits were preparing their weapons. "Gentlemen, my wife was kidnapped by a small group of idiots who think they can touch my authority at this time." Killian pointed to an entry on the floor plan of the old warehouse "Unfortunately for those idiots we completely control this city so we have to finish them off immediately.We will enter through this secondary entrance from the basement of the building where we will slowly go up to the second floor where my wife is, I want it to b

  • The final abrupt change

    Marie who was enjoying the sun on a deckchair, took off her glasses when she realized that a change in the multiverse was happening in a strange way, so she took a deep breath.She used her power to analyze what was happening. The first thing she noticed was that the changes were caused by Killian Flanagan's two daughters, since the girls had already established themselves as goddesses.Although her power was strong, they were nothing compared to her, but the most curious thing is that she could feel the energy of Man altering the order of the multiverse."That bastard should be trying to do something weird, but what he's trying to accomplish is altering a little mistake like Killian Flanagan and his daughters.There is no point in initiating a change in the multiverse unless he tries to create a multiversal reset event but doing so would change everything to the point of no return creating a multiversal paradox.The damage would be self-destructive for him and for us but if he did it

    "I am a dwarf.""And you are telling me this why?" asked the man, turning towards Kalendeen who shook his head quickly. "What is this about? Why have you come here? What do you want? Who sent you? Do not answer any questions until I have told you who I will allow answers to!" He turned back towards Hector and Zara once again before gesturing for them to move away to stand next to Thaddeus near one of the walls; each of them placed so that they were all facing forward to make it easier for him to watch both groups simultaneously. His son stared blankly ahead with his arms folded across his chest, refusing to meet anyone's gaze even while watching carefully over every little movement. The general waited silently beside him with his hands resting on his hips. There was no sound other than the shuffling of feet as men stood around pretending to be busy while listening to what was happening in front of them."You say you wish to talk but refuse to listen…" continued the king as he walked s

    "I am General Kalendeen," he said. "This is my son, Thaddeus. My second-in-command, Lieutenant Robert. There is only one person we can trust within this kingdom, and that is King Ataulf. His majesty is aware that you have returned, and has ordered me to give you a warm welcome. You may also be pleased to hear that the rest of your friends are waiting inside.""My apologies, General, but I'm not sure what you mean by a 'warm' welcome.""There's no need to be rude.""Rude? I don't think I've ever been called ruder than when I was told I'd received an invitation into somebody else's home without so much as so much as a small drink or two of water offered up along with it! Now, I have come all the way across the world without any sleep whatsoever, risking my life at every turn as well as facing threats which would make any sane soldier wet himself in terror… and now, having finally reached the castle gates, I find myself standing outside on a stone floor wearing nothing more than rags and

  • The search of Monica 4

    "How many people live here?" asked the princess before shrugging as she tried hard to think back on what she could remember from the books she'd read while they sat on that small island near Nilo's capital city. It hadn't taken her long to realise that she was most likely never going to have a chance to read any more books after leaving that place, but that didn't mean she was going to let her past life slip out of her memory either. She found herself wondering how many books existed and whether anybody still remembered any of them, or if all those stories would one day fade like stars slowly dying within the vastness of space or the tales of gods and heroes turning into myths and legends told and retold until they eventually disappeared completely forever. The girl decided not to dwell on the idea too much as she walked beside Regin instead as the dwarves strode across the road without ever appearing worried about who might be watching.The two men stood close together with Hector wh

  • The search of Monica 3

    Hector scowled, glanced across the road into the distance, then looked back and forth between the two dwarves and the princess before muttering darkly under his breath, "That won't be enough to keep them distracted, you know…" His tone was uncertain but it didn't sound as if he really cared either way anymore since none of this had happened yet. Not in this world anyway; maybe things would be different when he got home again in just a few minutes or hours or days.Skraffi ignored him, instead leaning forwards and kissing Zara on the cheek, earning a surprised squeak and a gasp of shock from the girl. "Thank you," he said after letting her go. "We'll get back to you soon with an answer to your questions about what exactly is going on here and why my sister has been taken away for her own protection."Regin rolled his eyes at the younger dwarf as he put a hand over his heart to salute Zara before taking hold of his shoulder. "You are very welcome," replied the prince politely before loo
