Prologue - Death

"Put your hands in the air and don´t make a noise!“, heard Samuel, who tried to draw cash from his account at the moment.

Three masked men had rushed into the bank. The one with the gun threatened the employees.

"Hand over all the money and nobody will get hurt!“, shouted the leader of the three.

The employee who had a gun pressed against his forehead was forced to go to the safe and open it. Two men followed him, and one was left to watch over everybody remaining.

Naturally, one employee had already pressed the emergency button below a desk and the police knew about the raid.

Samuel was eighteen years old and a martial artist, he trained since he was little, at the age of 7 in particular. The reason was that he had been an orphan since he can remember. In order to protect himself he started to practice under his master at the orphanage.

Of course he won several tournaments and was well known too.

That meant he knew how to deal with those guys so he tried to trick the one who was keeping an eye out for every kind of disturbance.

"If I use my umbrella as walking stick and act as if I am blind he should hesitate and I can close the distance to him.“, is what Samuel thought.

Samuel started his role and the robber shouted at him: „Hey, why are you moving!?“, a second later the robber realised that the guy before him had his eyes closed and used a wet umbrella as a walking stick.

"Are you blind?“, he asked. But Samuel didn´t return an answer. Instead the robber had a fist in his face and crumpled to the floor, a kick followed and the man was unconscious.

The screaming robber alerted the two other men who had their backpacks filled with money in the meanwhile.

"You bastard!“, shouted the man to Samuel´s left and charged at him. Samuel evaded his punch and prepared himself for a counterattack. The counterattack´s blow let the attacker faint and left him on the floor.

" To attack without a plan doesn´t work against me.“, said Samuel casually. Now he had dealt with two men and only one was remaining. But there was a "little“ problem.

This story originates from Royal Road. Ensure the author gets the support they deserve by reading it there.

The last man was literally a mountain. He was at least two meters and 10 centimeters tall and had muscles all over his body.

Samuel wouldn´t have had a chance if he hadn´t fought with such guys before. He knew their weaknesses which were speed and the knees.

But before Samuel had the chance to attack him the man already charged at him and dealt fierce punches like a machine gun.

Samuel could only evade the punches which would cause his defeat if they hit him.

The man sneered: "Haha, now you are no longer so high and mighty! If this continues I will get you sooner or later!“ Samuel knew that of course, but he couldn´t find an opening in the defense of his opponent.

After three minutes of constantly evading the giant´s deadly blows eventually slowed down, when Samuel saw his chance he roared: " Now!“, and hit the man´s knee. The man collapsed and Samuel kicked him with his knee in the face to end the battle.

Finally, it was possible to hear the siren of the police and Samuel put his guard down. Never did he imagine that this would kill him.

The like-a-mountain man was barely conscious. Beside him laid the gun of his companion who had dropped it before. With his last strength he took the gun and pulled the trigger. Samuel, who tried to remember what he wanted do buy after this incident was over, heard the shot but couldn´t react in time. The bullet pierced his chest and he fell on the floor.

The man muttered satisfied: "Ha.., I.. have… won..“, before he fell unconscious like his

companions.

In this moment the policemen who had just arrived at the scene heard the screams of the employees and stormed into the bank. What they saw left them dumbfounded and shocked. Three knocked-out robbers and one young man who laid in a pool of blood with a tiny wound in his chest.

One of the policemen ran towards the youth and shook him by his shoulders, trying to wake him up.

"Answer, are you alive?! Hey, Hey!“

But it was in vain, the shot hit the aorta, Samuel died within seconds.
