《Destiny Rewritten》Chapter 84

"I'm guessing you struck out with the Bratva?" Winn asked Oliver as he entered the bunker the next day.
"Pretty much. I even tried calling the Pakhan in Russia, he's an old friend, but he's stubborn. Unless we can find out who the real killer is, he's planning on sending additional forces to help deal with whoever is responsible for this." Oliver said.
"And I've been monitoring the dark web and it sounds like the Bratva aren't the only ones. The Triad is also reaching out to Asia." Winn said.
"Great." Oliver said as Thea entered.
"No luck on this end. Whoever it is, they know how to avoid detection. Also, just because I can fly doesn't mean I have Supergirl's powers." Thea said.
"Hopefully either Roy can get us something." Oliver said, though he was pretty sure he already knew who the killer was.
"He's still at work." Thea said.
"Maybe we should see if there are any members inside any of these organizations. It might be an inside job." Oliver said.
"Okay I will get on that." Winn said.
"Start with the Bertinelli's. Last time I checked, they're the only ones who are entirely based in Star City." Oliver said and Winn nodded.
"Okay, I think you might be onto something." Winn said as he brought up an image of Helena Bertinelli.
"Helena Bertinelli?" The a asked.
"Yep. According to this, her fiance Michael Stanton was killed by her father's enforcer. Sounds like she might want payback." Winn said.
"And in doing so, she could end up destroying the whole city by pitting all the crime gangs against each other. There's no way she's doing this alone." Oliver said.
"So, we find her and her accomplices." Thea said.

"Exactly. I'm going to go bring Laurel up to speed on this, see if she can help us narrow down the search." Oliver said.
"So, you think that Helena Bertinelli is stirring up a mob war just to get revenge on her father?" Laurel asked.
"I know, it sounds far-fetched." Oliver said.
"Extremely, but then again, some girls like to go to extreme lengths to piss off their fathers. Why do you think I started dating you." Laurel said.
"So do you not want to get married then?" Oliver asked her jokingly.
"Very funny Ollie. Look, right now, this is just a baseless accusation. You get something with a little substance, actual proof and then the SCPD can react." Laurel said.
"Got it. I will see what I can dig up." Oliver said, already knowing where to start.
"So, what did Laurel say?" Roy asked.
"She said that we need something more concrete before the SCPD can do anything. Winn, can you please start looking into Helena's financial records. You find something suspicious then Roy can get a warrant for the SCPD to begin looking into her." Oliver said.
"On it. I just wish I could figure out how to track Helena." Winn said.
"I'll check to see if Lyla will let us use the Argus satellites to help with that." Oliver said and Winn nodded.
"Huh, that's interesting." Winn said as he quickly accessed the records.
"What?" Roy asked.
"It seems that Helena Bertinelli is making monthly payments on a storage locker in the Glades. Now why would the daughter of a rich mob boss go there?" Winn asked.
"Because it's somewhere no one would think to look for her. I'll get a warrant to search it. Fortunately, the mayor is an old friend." Roy said and Oliver chuckled.

"I'll let Laurel know to be ready if need be, but since the SCPD have been trying to put Frank Bertinelli away for years, I think that any opportunity to take him down a peg will be taken." Oliver said.
"I'll see you guys later." Roy said as he walked out.
"Roy's only been on the force a few days, but he's really taking to it." Thea said.
"He's a hero. Now he has a chance to be one in the light of day." Oliver said.
"You think you'll ever do that?" Thea asked and Oliver chuckled.
"Speedy, I've never been one to follow the rules, even before I was a vigilante. I'm pretty sure that me joining the police force would be a mockery of the entire justice system." Oliver said and Thea laughed at that.

The Silver Wheel Game 2: The Wolf's Gambit
In part two of this three-part series, battle lines have been drawn in the once-peaceful realm of the Silver Wheel. In one corner, we have the enigmatic and brilliant Marie Walker, whose perverse dissection of the Silver Wheel and it’s operations has left a trail of destruction in her wake. In the other, we have the staff of the Silver Wheel, who seek to return to a time before their discovery and exploitation at the hands of mortals... using any means necessary. These two forces clash for the soul of the Silver Wheel in matches of wit and fortitude, forging strange alliances and suffering harsh betrayals. But when your battlefield’s a poker table, a little bad luck is sometimes all it takes to ruin even the best-laid plans… You can read part one right here, and part three here. Art was done by the amazingly talented nebai.

The Gatekeeper
Quick Synopsis:This is the story of Reylor, a god-like existence who lost a great portion of his strength when accidentally sent from his “home” to another world. Making friends and learning to harness to power of magic, he maintains his commitment to his prior duty and proceeds to fight against corruption, both on a political front and against what is known as the shade.(Note, this story focuses on action and adventure, so politics are not in depth) This has been my first novel, which was primarilly inteded as a learning experience, and so it may be a bit rough in regards, but it should definitely be readable and it is a full story. I may make some adjustments to it later on, but there's no guarantee... anyhow, it's free to read, so give it a go! Also, feel free to check out my new website: aretornovels.wordpress.com

Join the Discord!+Notable Tags+Profanity: People curse all the time. Rarely at each other or in a deragitory manner. Tramatizing Content: The MC is not a nice guy. He isn't your classic 'White Knight' who will defeat the 'bad guys' and save the day. Your normal views of the way the world should work are not the same for him. Expect ruthlessness, backstabbing, lies, dishonorable actions, and so much more that makes this story realistic and great.Urban Fantasy: While modern technology exists, along with space crafts and other soft sci-fi tropes, they are not key elements, nor will they be gone over in high details. This story is primarily magic/fantasy.Soft Sci-Fi: Read above. This story is a revised version of the previous story I wrote here on Royal Road. It's been almost a year since I published it and have worked on fixing it to become a better story that I am proud of. Edited as of 30JUL2022

A Traveler's Tale
Heroes. Villains. Magic. It's a story we've heard told time and again, each a near copy of the last. You know the story, but what if it was told from an entirely new perspective? What if it didn't follow the hero? What if, and bear with me here: I told it instead? My name is Daniel, and I'm just a simple merchant with quite the story to share...
