CHAPTER 12: MEETING
It was a rainy night,
An 8-year boy in a haggard state was running on the isolated streets.
Even though he was breathless he did not stop and just ran and ran.
Behind him were about 20 people who were armed with knives.
After running forever, the boy did not have the energy to run but he still did not stop until he fell to his knees.
Looking back as those people got closer to him, he again stood up and ran to only fall after a few steps.
This continued on, as soon as he fell he would stand up to run again and again until he didn't have the energy to stand up anymore.
He plopped to the ground breathlessly, looking back as the people caught up to him.
However, there was no fear in his eyes only determination to survive and disgust towards this group of b*stards.
Soon those people caught up to him and surrounded him.
A burly man that was supposedly their leader walked towards the boy and stomped his foot on him.
"Hmph! You little b*stard made us all run after you like cats run after a mouse, but you forgot that mouse is always the prey and ends up dead just like you"
"My uncle, your boss killed my parents for what? The property of my parents? That property is my parents and he had no right to it and He knew that, he knew that he would never be able to have it so he killed them but how would he know that according to the will of my parents, after they died the rightful owner is me. He could only resort to killing me too. Isn't he a coward that only knows how to use underhanded methods?"
"So what? As long as you die that property would be our boss's. It doesn't matter how he got power? What matters is who has the power."
The eyes of the boy were red with anger and full of murderous intent.
Unbeknownst to them all of this was being seen by a person.
Even if they saw this person they would not know who it was since the person was wearing black clothing and the person's face was covered with a mask.
Under the mask, Ella Whatson smirked "Interesting! It was too interesting."
The moment the leader of the Gang raised his arm to kill the boy Ella shot his forehead with her gun.
The leader never knew how he died
The boy was wide-eyed and snapped his head to the side to look at the figure as she walked through the darkness and into the light. Her hair was wet due to the rain, with her clothing sticking to her skin, however, no one had any thoughts as the figure was clearly of a little girl that wasn't even of age, she looked to be around 10 to 11. However, her eyes had murderous intent and amusement as if killing someone was a pleasurable thing.
The boy had thought that he would be dying tonight but he never thought that someone would come and save him.
Ella slowly lifted her gun to shoot everyone present she was so fast that no one could even react. She kept shooting until only three people were left – Ella, the boy, and a member of the gang.
Though that guy was already on his knees begging for mercy.
Ella slowly walked towards the still-shocked boy; she looked down at him.
"I'll save you, however, I am leaving this guy alive, he would definitely go back and tell his boss about tonight's events, I would help you get your revenge however, I do not do free charity. I would only and only teach you. I'll be giving you 5 years if you cannot take your revenge by the knowledge I give you, I myself would kill you as I do not keep useless trash around me. In return, you would work for me and wouldn't betray me for life. So, are you going to take it or leave it?"
The boy still could not believe what he was hearing, it was already enough for him if she just saved him but she was saying that she would even teach him. Even though the girl in front of him was saying cruel words to him even though she gave people the feeling of a demoness. In the eyes of the little boy, she was the goddess that descended to earth and saved him.
The boy quickly snapped to reality and nodded rapidly, afraid she would take back her words "Yes, yes, yes, I'll take it."
The girl smiled, pleased with his answer, she looked towards the guy who was still kneeling and spat out one-word "Scram".
The guy quickly got on his legs and made a rapid dash afraid that she would kill him.
She slowly looked toward the boy that was still looking at her in admiration and awe. "What is your name?"
"Carson"
Unbeknownst to Ella she had just picked up her best ally.
Not only had this guy taken his revenge in the coming five years his strength and knowledge had surpassed her expectations.
Years of being together whether it was a life and death situation, happy moments or sad moments their bond only grew till the point that Ella adopted him as her brother.
