In The DC World With A System

Chapter 23 - 23 Aftermath

The chaos which wrecked around the Allens Mansion since late-night has finally calmed down. The situation has returned to normal.

After the final killers escaped the area, and the sweeping of the guards to make sure all is well and good, and there is no trap or bombs left by them on their escape.

The sweeping of the area took about five hours to complete after which the green signal is given.

A few hours after the incident was over, all the people who are directly or indirectly related to this matter were aware of the happening of the attack.

Terrence is together with Daphne and Thomas to get the complete report of the losses they suffered and how extensively is the mansion affected in this entire ordeal.

James is there to report all this to his boss.

" We have about 26 deaths in our ranks, 53 serious injuries with some crippled for life and others need a few months time to completely recover."

Terrence silently listened to these and asked his advise, " how is our current situation? What do you think we should do now as my Security In charge ?"

James mushed over everything which can be done to help them. " We have suffered serious losses in this night assault. About a quarter if our forces are down and it will take a lot of time to recover from these losses.

What we can do now is to fill our ranks once more. With them back in order, we can slowly deal with our other problems. "

Thomas is the one who inquires his uncle this time, "How long will it take us to reach our past state again?"

James turns to look at his friend's son and replied, " If there is no problem or similar cases, we can recover in about a year's time.

But, even then their combat ability will not be up to par. They all are green and will take time to reach the level our guards have before the assault."

Terrence has only one hope, that is, to recover his losses as soon as possible and enjoy the immediate gains which he is awarded after surviving this.

But all these required a certain level of strength to be on his hands. If he is weak, he cannot digest all of them and must share it with others.

" Do you think I should show my hands a little, dad?" Thomas asked his father on whether he should let some TX out and deal with the bugs who may try to snatch their meat.

" no need. We can deal with these insects later. We cannot be too greedy. " after saying this to Thomas, he turns to James and ordered, "Issue a word, we want a certain percent of the things they eat, and if they don't then they must be dealt with."

Thomas understood that his father is trying to say. He wants to have some younger brothers who will do the dirty work for their groups. Every rich corporation have some goons who can be helpful and his father have some too.

Since they are on the verge of expansion, they will need more people and these incentives will help them attract the forces.

Similar to how the Allens are the killers from the leviathan too are having a meeting now.

In the Leviathan base,

A beautiful woman sat on the leader seat and listened to the report her underling has in his hands.

This report is related to the events which have happened in the Allens Mansion.

She calmly listened to everything he has to say and didn't interrupt him, though the twitching of his fingers, as well as his eyes darting from the papers on his hands to his leader in front from time to time, showed just how nervous he us now.

When everything is said and done, their leader, the beautiful woman thinks about the mission which her organization failed.

She asked the two who returned back with their life, " How much force is needed to actually complete this task according to you?"

" Mistress Talia, I think unless we send almost all our forces, we have no way to deal with them. " one of them replied.

This answer intrigued her and she explained, " Ohh... Do elaborate?" She ordered him with a smile.

Although she had a smile on her face, he didn't feel at ease but felt he is closer to death than ever and swiftly explained his view, "since we reached New York, I felt someone was watching us. When I discussed with the leader he asked me to be quiet about it, and felt it has nothing to do with our mission parameter. He asked me to ignore it for now. "

Talia as an old assassin knows what these words meant. There are many mysterious things in this world which can be used to keep a lookout.

The leader of this task knew about it too abs so she felt there is nothing wrong with what he said.

" And you feel this has something to do with this particular assignment." Talia asked with interest in her eyes.

" yes. No matter where I go, those eyes would follow me. After reaching the mansion, I felt I have entered a monster house.

Everything there could end my existence. I have never felt like this except for that place. " he said with a grave expression.

' that place' he mentioned is something only the senior members of the Leviathan group know about.

That place is the main secret base of the League of Shadows.

Talia didn't doubt his words for a moment, as loyalty is etched in them from the very beginning.

" It seems that young master Thomas is a very dangerous guy. Who knew that such a kind, energetic and charming boy will have such a hidden secret. " Talia said with an alluring smile on her face.

" Mistress, are you sure he is the one behind all this?" He asked with doubts.

The voice of an old man can from the shadows, " Indeed, he is a great inventor or so I have heard. Along with the arms trade and the unmanned tech he has, he is the only one who can turn that normal mansion into a death trap for someone of your caliber. "

When he walked forward to show his appearance, the senior killer immediately bent on his knees in greeting.

This older man ignored him and addressed the girl, " Even if we don't have the guards to deal with, it will be difficult to touch that. "

" and how can you be so sure of that, father?" Talia asked the secretive old man, her father, Ra al Gul

" instincts my dear, instincts. " he told her, " But enough of this boy, I need you to look at the situation in Gotham and start your plan to deal with that.

Gotham cannot exist, it has become a breeding ground for crimes and as the members of the League of Shadows, it's annihilation is our task."

He commanded her.

Talia nods and didn't say anything but Thomas is someone who has been printed in her mind.

This Thomas has made her reclusive father become interested in him. There aren't many who have this honor. This meant he will be someone worth looking into.

' I wish I could meet you soon, Mr. Allens.'
