It was nice going out to get some fresh air. Though I wanted to go to a better restaurant, my pocket didn't let me. Since we belonged to a lower class family, we could just roam around some parks at most.
Just as we were about to reach the park a memory flashed within me. The content of the memory horrified me. ' This isn't real, is it? It should just be my imagination.' I disagreed with the memories as I thought of it as an illusion. Even the memory I saw as a future was nothing more than an illusion to me.
But this all changed when the things I denied happened for real. " Hmm, brother, what's going on? Why are you so out of mind? Is something bothering you?" I was startled by her sudden questions.
Feeling embarrassed a little I said " Hmm, it's nothing. I just wanted to buy you some snacks but it seems I don't have enough."
" It's ok, brother. I don't mind it. Since you brought me out to take some fresh air, I am satisfied."
My sister was really naive, innocent and kind. That's why I refused to believe that she would have to go through such horrible times. Even if I were to be useless there would be someone looking out for her.
Just as I was entangled by the countless thoughts a familiar voice rang in my mind. " My..my.. look who's here? I was really bored but now it seems, I won't be bored anymore." His sneer gave chills down my bones. Yet for some reason I didn't lower my head.
Seeing her brother being humiliated my sister grabbed my hands and said " Brother, let's go. We don't want to be around scum like this."
I was a little surprised by her remark, nevertheless I followed her and was just about to leave. Then my colleagues who like to bully people were offended by my sister's words.
" Brat, where do you think you are going? Now kneel and lick my boots or else I will smash your head."
My sister trembled as we were surrounded by six people. Though I could see some public officials, they seemed to have ignored us. I know it's because they are afraid of these people's background.
' Isn't this the same as I saw in my dream? Now when my sister argues, she would be slapped and as a brother I won't be able to do a thing because of my cowardice yet she called me her brother.'
" How can you be so shameless? You came out of nowhere and troubled us yet you want to apologize? Hmm, in your dreams."
One of the boys said " Boss, it seems she needs to be taught a lesson. Look at her acting smug around you."
" Yeah, boss, since she is his sister. You don't need to worry about a damn thing. We can have as much fun as we want with her."
Kekekeke
Showing his hideous grin my senior approached us and grabbed my collar. His glare was really intimidating and my sister grabbed my hands even tighter. I could even feel her body trembling. My body instinctively felt fear but there was something that was different.
Unconsciously my blood began to boil violently. A rage began to well up within me. I couldn't even contain it. It was so confusing that I didn't even know where all this rage came from.
" Brat, it seems you have gained some courage. How dare you look straight into my eyes? It seems you forgot who the boss is."
My sister worriedly said " Who are you? Let my brother go? I will scream for help if you continue to pester us."
The man glared at her as he pushed me away.
The moment he grabbed my sister I couldn't control my rage at all. In rage I roared " Get your hands off my sister."
I didn't know that my eyes had turned red. Even my sister became anxious and worried seeing that side of me. Looking at her terrified figure, the rage within me quelled.
The man roared " Brat, how dare you talk back to me? Is the lesson you got previously not enough? You want some more beating?"
Just as I was about to jump my sister grabbed my hand and said shivering in fear " Brother, let's go. Please don't do something that you might regret."
But was it easy to just walk away? The man and his gang stopped our way. " Kekeke, want to leave?"
" Did we give you permission?"
Enraged, I warned " Zhang Yufeng, Don't cross the line. I won't stay quiet if you don't let us through."
Zhang Yufeng was startled by the sudden feeling of suppression. ' What's going on? How dare this brat scold me? Is it because of his sister? He has some courage. Hmph, I will let him go for now. I can easily teach him some lessons tomorrow at the university.'
' Also there are quite a number of eyes on us. It's best for us to not make things worse.'
" Hmph, brat, you are lucky. I will let you off for now but tomorrow, I will show you your place."
Without listening to him I walked away along with my sister. As she grabbed my hands, I could still feel her trembling body. Feeling worried I caressed her head and said " Hmm, sorry for making you worry. Let's go somewhere a bit more quiet next time."
She simply nodded her head yet the fear within her lingered.
" Well, why don't you go back first? I will soon follow you after I finish something."
She shook her head and grabbed my hand as she said " No,brother, I am worried. What if those guys come to trouble you again?"
I sighed and said" It's ok, they won't bother me. They were just trying to tease me today. It's nothing serious. So you don't need to be worried. Just go and prepare for tomorrow."
Finally she relaxed and agreed to my advice. I breathed in relief after watching her leave. Then my eyes turned bloody red.
I returned back to the park where Zhang Yufeng and his underlings were.
" Boss, why did you let him off? It would have been nice to play with him."
"Yes boss, That girl was such a beauty. It would have made our day if we could have laid her in bed."
Kekeke..
Zhang Yufeng waved his hand as he said "Something feels different. He was such a coward who didn't even dare to meet our eyes yet today he was bold enough to argue back. I think he is quite protective of his sister."
" Hmph, so what if he showed some courage? He should be shitting his pants by now."
Suddenly…
" Ho.. is that what you think I will do?"
The Mena's turned around only to be surprised. But it didn't last long as they soon laughed.
Kekekeke
" Look at this boss. He is already here. He should really be worried about the things that will happen tomorrow. Come on, brat, kneel down and lick my boots clean."
" Hmm, kneel? Are you worthy of making me kneel? Why don't you lick your boots yourselves?"
" What! You filthy scum. Boss looked at him. Acting high and mighty. Who does he think he is? He is seriously looking down on us, boss. We need to teach him a lesson."
Zhang Yufeng scoffed as he said "Aren't you being too rude? Is this how you treat your seniors? I didn't teach you to be arrogant like this, did I?"
He clenched his fists and walked towards me. My heart throbbed but it was excited and not afraid.
" I am the son of the Zhang family, You dare to look down on me? Today I will make you kneel and kowtow to me."
" Hmph, so what if you are the son of the Zhang family? You are still a man afraid of being injured. Do you dare to make a move against me? I swear I will make you all regret if you dare to move."
" Hmph, how dare you threaten us? You are courting death."
Woosh..
Bam…
The man swung his baseball bat at his head.
" Hmph, See, this is what you get for being arrogant. Now I will break your legs."
He tried to pull the baseball bat but no matter how much strength he exerted, he couldn't even move it a little.
' Huh, what's going on? Why is he so strong?'
" Huh, ling, why are you doing nothing? Can't you even pull a bat from his grip?"
Ling frowned as his face turned ashen and said " What! You think I am kidding? Why don't you try and pull it?"
I was a little surprised. ' Huh, did I just block it with my bare hands? It didn't even sting a little. Just what the hell is going on? I don't remember being strong like this.'
