Chapter 729 The Sisters' lives
Vlad was completely stunned, his hand was held over his mouth and he continued to take steps backwards. At the same time though, it wasn’t as if the woman, known as Vere as well as the Shadow Fighter was okay herself.
She had been doing everything she could to gather information on what Vlad was doing and whether he was safe or not, in the end, the only thing she had been able to gather was that the Scavengers had killed his father. She had an idea why the gang had resorted to such methods, but she had no idea what they would do with the young kid.
After all, a student was next to no threat to them, no matter what they went out and told the world, and that was if they were stupid enough to try and head out and ‘tell the truth to everyone.’ Yet here he was, right next to another large troublemaker.
Thoughts were going through her head as to what Austin could have possibly done in order to get him back.
“Wait a moment!” Austin said, trying to get a handle on the situation. “You know her, how do you know her?”
“What do you mean?” Vlad replied back. “Don’t you remember that day we went to that underground fight. The five sisters were sitting, watching, and were guarded by that Vixen guy. She is one of the five daughters of that killer Nox!”
The more Vlad thought about it, the more his emotions were starting to change. Originally he was quite fearful of the person being here, but wasn’t this a chance for him? This was the daughter of his father’s killer, this could be the start of his revenge and for a simple woman like this, he could deal with it, with his own two hands.
That’s why he had decided to act. Tensing his fist, he leapt across pushing in front of Austin. A punch was thrown out and it was headed right for Vere’s face.
“I don’t give a crap if you're a woman, scum is still scum!” Vlad shouted.
“Wait, that’s not going to work.” Austin managed to say, but he was a little too late.
Vlad was the one screaming in pain, as he had been grabbed by the wrist, using her body as leverage, she had pulled it forward and was pushing her weight against the wrist, nearly breaking it.
Vlad was on the floor on one knee in pain.
“Like I said, it’s not going to work.” Austin started again. “This person, she’s the Shadow Fighter.”
Vlad felt his heart miss a beat out of sheer shock. The Shadow Fighter he admired, the one that he followed. She was a woman? And not only that, but she was one of the daughters of Nox.
If Vlad heard one more shocking fact he was sure he would faint on the spot.
“I guess I have a lot of explaining to do.” Vere replied, letting go of Vlad’s wrist. “As you said, I am one of the five daughters of Nox, but let’s make this clear, I hate the Scavengers and Nox himself just as much as you do.”
The two boys could see Vere’s body shaking with anger, and her eyes were getting slightly bloodshot just thinking about a past memory that haunted her.
The group had decided to move from the reception area to the room that Austin currently was in. They didn’t want anyone to overhear their conversation especially since it contained important details.
Vere had gone to sit on the bed, so naturally the two boys felt like they had to stand up. They waited patiently for the Shadow Fighter to explain herself. Eventually after a few moments of silence she let out a big sigh.
“I guess I should just get it all out.” Vere said. “As you know, people call us the daughters of the Scavengers or in some cases they even refer to us as the sisters, and although that may be the case, the truth is, all of us are half sisters.”
When looking at their appearance, they all certainly did seem to be drastically different, and not only that strangely many of them were of similar age, but when Vlad thought of this it made his face turn a shade redder.
“I see you figured it out.” Vere said. “Let’s just say that my father liked to spread his seed about quite a bit. Rumours have it that he was trying to get a strong boy, yet every single one of them turned out to be a girl.
“Maybe that’s why he was an angry abusive d*ck all the time. Or maybe that’s just his personality. The point is, the Scavengers, including Nox of course, do extremely dangerous things.
“And since none of us were sons we most of the time were just raised by our mothers. I was practically raised as a single child, only seeing my father once in a while. Naturally through the abuse, you can imagine my mother and father didn’t have a loving relationship, and it didn’t seem to be the case with any of the other mothers of my sisters.
“However, my mother did something that she maybe should have never done. She fell in love.” Vere said. “She found someone who wanted to look after her, and look after me. To work hard and do whatever he could to provide for us.
“But you see, that wasn’t allowed, my mother was property of the Scavengers. She was not to be touched by others, and in return Nox killed that man, and he killed my mother. That’s when I learned that day that I too am just property of the Scavengers.”
Both Vlad and Austin were in disbelief. They don't know what to say. They now understood why anyone would have a strong hatred for the Scavengers and their father after that
The words that hurt the most though, were the words that Austin had heard at the end, that she was still part of the Scavengers. She was in a situation that she was unable to escape.
“I… I became the Shadow Fighter, planning to do something. I just was so angry, I needed to do something. So I beat up those future gang members, tried to disrupt any idea of them joining the gang, but it did next to nothing.
“Right now though, it might have just been a small thing, but to me, any small thing just to annoy, or make life harder for my father, like he had mine, I would be happy to do it.
“That’s why I'm prepared. To crash this damn Phantom Brawl he’s so proud of!” Vere said, standing up.
The three of them had strong reasons to take on the Scavengers but Austin wanted to add something else to that last line.
“We're not just going to disrupt the Phantom Brawl, I plan to get rid of the Scavengers.” Austin declared.
