Jack had never felt so conflicted before. This was his best chance of killing Wayne. But if he threw the grenade, Olivia would die as well.
The memories of his time with Olivia flashed in his mind. She really thought of him as a brother.
While he hesitated, Wayne's bodyguards were able to catch up and line up a shot at him.
Olivia could only watch as the bullet flew toward Jack.
She screamed, "No!"
But there was nothing she could've done as Jack got shot and fell over. Only the driver was left speeding away.
The cold wind blew toward Olivia as tears streamed down her face.
How could this happen?
If she weren't in the car, Jack would've killed Wayne. He wouldn't have hesitated and gotten himself killed.
A few years ago, when she mentioned that she wanted to join the Black Ravens, Jack told her, "The biggest mistake an assassin can make is to be emotional. Only death awaits an assassin who lets his emotion dictate his actions."
Even so, he still hesitated when he saw her.
Wayne noticed that Olivia's reaction was a little off. "What? Was that an ex-boyfriend of yours?"
Olivia glared at him fiercely. She slapped him. The slap was quick and hard. Wayne didn't manage to block it.
"You fucker! It should've been you who died instead!" Olivia's eyes were bloodshot.
She had lost too much already, her family, friends, and her pet.
Everyone that she met after that who treated her well was precious to her. Jack wasn't related to her by blood, but she saw him as her own brother, nevertheless.
