It was a normal day as always but today was a little different.
A handsome man came and gave us a gold coin for a flower. He was just like in the fairytale The Prince Charming.
He was very gentle with us and even gave us an umbrella which appeared out of nowhere making us startled.
I was a little sad after seeing him with a beautiful girl.
Sigh! But why would he choose me even if he didn't have a girlfriend?
If he wants, any girl would be willing to jump on to him.
"Sister, big brother was so nice to us," A sweet childish voice came making me get out of the daze.
It was the voice of my little cute sister.
"He also gave us a gold coin. Finally, we will be able to meet our mother." She said looking at me with a smile.
"We will be," Even though I answered her, I, myself was not sure if those hooligans would release our mother.
If it weren't for that bastard we would be living happily.
He could not even be called a human. How could he do that to us?
We were living happily back then but that bastard-like father became a drunkard and every day came back drunk and would beat our mother. If that wasn't enough. He sold his wife out of fear of getting beaten by those hooligans.
What horrible things would they be doing to our mother?
Only the thought of it made me shiver.
'Don't worry Mom we are coming,' I thought to myself as I walked in a dark alleyway with my sister.
I was going to those hooligans. With this gold coin, they would surely release my mother.
I clenched my fist which was holding the coin while thinking.
I can't let anyone hurt my family anymore.
After all those years of suffering and pain, I finally found the courage to fight.
As I walked towards the alleyways. I saw an old house. It looked abandoned. The paint was worn off and the walls were as if they would fall from the slight touch.
"Hey brats, what are you doing here? Get a gold coin before talking about your mother," A voice came from behind making me and my sister startled.
We turned around to see those three hooligans. Just seeing them makes my blood boil.
"We have the money," I replied.
[Third Person Pov]
They were shaking in fear as three burly men blocked their way.
One of the men leaned forward, seizing the chin of the older one.
"Where's the money?" He asked smirking evilly at them.
She could not look him in the eye but mustered the courage, "I have the money but first show us where mother is?" She said it while looking him in the eye.
"Shawn, get that bitch here," he ordered one of the two people. The person was a little fat compared to the two of you with the classy lackey face.
He nodded to his boss before turning around and entering the old house.
He returned after a minute with a beautiful lady. Although she had wrinkles which added to her milf charm. She had dark brown hair like the little girls.
The man dragged her to his boss.
She looked like she had been crying for days.
She had tears flowing down her eyes.
The only reason behind them was because of those men.
They were the cause of her mother's suffering.
"Mom, please don't cry. We will save, okay?"
The old one embraced her and wiped away her tears. While the younger one could not help but cry seeing her mother like this.
She then turned around to the boss and extended her hand which was holding the gold coin.
"Huh?" The boss was dumbfounded he didn't expect her to have a gold coin. He only allowed them to see her mother so that he can humiliate the mother.
Making the kids work hard on making money.
(Ahem! Don't put any logic in this chapter)
Now that he saw the gold coin. His eyes could not help but sparkle. He asked the kid how she got the coin.
She was a little hesitant at the start but she confessed at the end.
The man started laughing wickedly. It's seems like he had gone insane.
"Now release her," The girl said.
"Hey brat, I could not release her as you know my underlings didn't have fun with her. But I could release her if you could bring that man here," he said grabbing the hair of their mom.
"Ahh," the mother screamed in pain.
She was cursing herself for what her daughters were going through. But she was helpless.
"But you said you would release her if we give you one gold coin,"
"That was the deal but I changed my mind after hearing your story," He replied.
"But..."
The boss was now getting annoyed and smacked the little girl.
"I won't do it," but she was persistent.
"Ok," He said as he smacked her again and grabbed the younger's hair pulling her with the mom.
The older one was now on the ground, and seeing her little sister taken too made her mind blank.
She stared at their departing back as the silent tears flowed from her eyes.

On the other side, one of the man's lackeys asked. "Boss, would not we be doomed if it was some Nobel or high-ranking adventure?" he asked.
"Don't worry, Nobel doesn't like to be anywhere near dirty commoners and high-ranking adventurers would now be at the Tain region. Anyways the three of us could face off against B-rank adventures. So there is no need to be afraid of it," he replied.
