"B-Brother…" Nathan's sister mumbled, taking a step towards him. "I'm sorry... I'm really sorry... I had lost my mind and didn't protect you before. You will forgive me for that, right?"
As much as she was scared of him after he killed someone, the kindness in his eyes was unmistakable. Besides, he had always doted on her. In no way would he harm her.
The thought emboldened her as she kept walking towards 'Nathan'. Her plan was simple. She would get the food and then offer it to Zayn.
He had been neglecting her for a few days now, so she thought as long as she showed sincerity, Zayn would shower her with affection.
As for Nathan, he loved her too much to object. Together, they would lead a decent life…
However, before she could finish speaking, something hit her head. She looked down and saw it was the severed hand of the boy he had killed before.
The girl got petrified upon seeing the hand. Her mind went blank, and she couldn't process anything.
Meanwhile, Aiden pulled a chair to the seat and crossed his legs, pointing at Nathan's sister with the kukri.
"Sis, did you forget what you're now?" he said with his innocent smile. "A bitch. That's what. So stop walking on your feet and crawl over here. Since I'm feeling magnanimous, I'll even give you three seconds!"
Nathan's sister's crying stopped right away. She looked up at him with wide eyes full of shock.
"Brother... What... what are you saying?" she mumbled. "I'm your sister! How can you—?"
"One," Aiden said, cutting her off.
His smile dropped as he stared at her with anger. It wasn't his natural reaction, but Nathan's. The fool had died because of the woman and still couldn't tolerate her being humiliated.
It is a good thing you died, or else I would have killed you myself.
Aiden thought, scratching his shoulder with the blade to silence Nathan's feelings before turning to the girl.
"Two."
Before he could say three, Nathan's sister saw the cold look in his eyes. She knew he would do something much worse than killing her if she did not listen to him.
After all, in the apocalypse, pride was the first thing you had to throw away to survive, and the girl before him wasn't an exception.
She let out a sad cry and fell to her knees. Under the eyes of all the survivors, she used her hands and knees to crawl slowly toward Aiden like a dog.
Her knees hurt as they scraped on the ground, but she kept going, not daring to anger her brother further.
Aiden looked down at her from the chair without a shred of amusement in his eyes. He would have enjoyed it a bit if not for that brat Nathan's residual feeling towards his sister.
Thankfully, it was easy to get rid of it by destroying the image the boy had cultivated of his sister in his mind.
Meanwhile, the girl reached his feet and looked up with teary eyes, hoping for some pity from her brother. She even reached for his leg, but he moved away in disgust.
"Brother... I have crawled over like you wanted…"
Aiden gave a cruel smile and pointed at her with the kukri. He was about to do something disgusting, but Nathan had only himself to blame for it.
After all, Aiden had selflessly wanted to avenge him, but the fool just had to irk him with his needless emotions.
"Take off your clothes. All of them. Bitches like you do not need to wear clothes."
"You—!"
Nathan's sister's eyes grew wide with shame. She held her clothes tight.
"Brother! What are you saying!? H-How can you ask me to do something like that!"
In the crowd, one of the feminine-looking boys who liked her could not stay quiet and shouted in anger.
"We are all stuck in this mess together! Even if you have weapons and food, it doesn't mean that you can treat your own sister like this! Are you even human!?"
Aiden did not even look at him. He was a demon in human skin. Why did he have to care about what a soon-to-be-killed brat had to say about him? Instead, he just took out a piece of bread from the bag, dangling it in front of the crowd.
"Do you still want food or not? Judging by how loud your voice is, it doesn't seem any of you want it that much."
At his words, everyone turned towards the boy who had been yelling before. Because of that stupid bastard, all of them could die of starvation.
After being stared at by the crowd, the boy turned red and shut his mouth fast. He did not dare to say another word.
Aiden looked back at Nathan's sister and sighed.
"You loved to see that fucker humiliate me, didn't you? So why are you acting like some chaste woman now?" he scoffed. "Choose. Do you want to starve while holding your pride, or take off your clothes and get this bread?"
The girl gritted her teeth. Her stomach hurt so much from hunger that she felt dizzy. She stared at the bread. In the end, hunger won. Besides, if Zayn saw her sacrifice, he would like her more, right?
She closed her eyes and let the tears fall. Her shaking hands started to pull off her clothes. Soon she was naked on the floor in front of everyone. Her body looked very different from her dirty face and the blood on the ground.
Aiden looked at her like he was checking goods and nodded.
"Not bad," he said before silently telling the remnant of Nathan in his body what he thought of his sister.
A sudden urge to puke filled Aiden, but he just smiled and pushed it back down and threw the bread and a bottle of water in front of her like he was feeding a beggar.
"Take it. This is what you earned for your obedience."
Nathan's sister quickly grabbed the bread and stuffed it into her mouth. She drank the water in big gulps while crying.
"Th... thank you, brother... thank you for the food..."
The room was quiet except for the sound of her eating. Everyone watched her with hungry eyes. Saliva filled their mouths. Their throats moved as they swallowed again and again.
Seeing her get real food just by giving up her pride, three other girls looked at each other and fell to the ground at once before crawling to Aiden, faster than Nathan's sister had, and even readily took off their clothes.
"Sir... we have knelt too. Look, our bodies are even more developed than hers, right...?" they begged as their eyes kept darting towards the bag in Aiden's lap.
Ha! Look at this, boy. Did you ever even dare to dream of this sight before? Now look at them. They are begging for a scrap of your attention, and here you are sulking about your sister.
After saying his piece, Aiden waited for the boy's body to react. However, it didn't. It seemed the boy's remnants had finally died after seeing his sister in such a state.
"Tsk, pathetic weakling," Aiden clicked his tongue, turning to the women. "Now what should I do with you all?"
