…

The siblings just stayed silent for the whole 3 minutes making the people awkward.

Charlie's face darkened as he now realized who shot him at the back.

At first he didn't think about it, amused by the display of the two siblings.

But when Charlie saw the holster with a gun on Drake's belt, even if his IQ is low he can at least guess this much.

'This son of a bitch shot him!'

Charlie knows that Drake was the little brother of Jessica. He did some research into Jessica's background when he took a liking to her.

So after getting rejected by her, Charlie began to harass Drake after that day.

After all, harassing a student was tolerable but not a professor of the school. Charlie might face expulsion if he messed up a professor. So that's why he started to harass Drake to spite Jessica who rejected him.

'How dare she reject him?'

That's what Charlie though at those time

…

"What am I witnessing now? Is this some kind of soap opera? Hey Drake you fuckin dimwit, since when did you grow some balls for you to have enough courage to go against me huh?!

If you now come over here and crawl before me to beg for forgiveness I might consider letting you off lightly."

Charlie stood up as he fiercely glared towards Drake.

When Drake heard this, he looked back at Charlie and stared right through Charlie's eye.

Was Drake afraid of Charlie and his gang's bullying? No, Drake has long since been grown numb towards the outlook of life.

…

Drake and Jessica were only an elementary and senior high student respectively when their parents died.

The ship that was ferrying their parents across the Pacific ocean has sunk after they were caught in a thunderstorm amidst the sea of the Pacific ocean.

They were then both declared as dead, as the ship that they were riding has never been recovered at the bottom of the sea, making the siblings into orphans.

The day when Drake's parents both died was also the day where his hellish life started.

A month after Drake's parents have been declared dead , everyone seems to hate him for no apparent reasons.

You could be reading stolen content. Head to Royal Road for the genuine story.

They just felt good about it when they brought someone down just to make themselves feel above and entitled.

And Drake was their target since he was the only parentless among them.

At first it was only verbal abuse he got from his classmates.

But after that one incident happened, the bullying got to extremes.

When a group of three students from his class during his elementary day verbally abused him but he didn't fight back, that group of students became dissatisfied after not getting any reaction from Drake.

The bullies then said something that garnered an extreme reaction from Drake, seeing Drake making such a reaction after they said something so vulgar towards Drake's sister. They felt extremely elated.

So they did what makes them feel good. They shift their abusive words towards his sister like how they would make his sister their whore.

Drake didn't take it silently as he snapped. He beats up those kids until his knuckles bleed, leaving those students hospitalized.

But that was the worst mistake he made.

Not only did Drake and his sister need to pay for their treatment fee, the authority even forced the siblings to go under their care. But fortunately a distant relative vie for them.

But it wasn't all that good. That said distant relative's conspire together with those bullies' parents.

The medical fee wasn't that expensive since Drake only dealt superficial wounds on those bullies but their distant relative and those bullies parents keep on claiming that it was that grievous.

Having no choice, Drake's sister can only accept it since she's the only one who can make a decision for both of them.

Drake's sister reluctantly sold the car that was worth 2 million credit that their late parents bought with their years worth of savings.

Overcome by greed, that distant relative demands for more, forcing the siblings to sell pretty much everything except for their house and the plot of land where their house was built on.

But that distant relative still wasn't satisfied after milking them out of their property.

It tried to take over the insurance that the siblings would get after their parents died. And the savings that was reserved for the siblings' tuition fees for their future.

It was a much bigger amount of money even if those cars and a few properties combined after being sold by them after all.

Unfortunately for them, Drake's sister wasn't that dumb to not take notice that this distant relative of them was conning their money away.

The siblings cut ties with them after Drake's elder sister realized their deception.

And Drake transferred schools after that accident.

But it didn't make Drake's situation any better. Somehow, the incident from his previous school made its way to his new school, resulting in his new classmates avoiding him like a locust, making him isolated.

Few bullies took interest in him, making him their lackey for their beck and call, trampling his pride repeatedly that it might as well be flushed on the toilet for all he cared.

The past incident and Drake's exposure to all humanity's evil side made Drake mature early on.

He learned to put a leash on his pride. He didn't bother to fight back anymore, but one can't imagine just how many times Drake envisioned himself killing them off repeatedly inside his mind.

At those times, that is also where he learned how to aim a gun using a pellet toy gun to shoot precisely so that he might even beat a pro when it comes to reading projectiles. It was his coping mechanism for his extreme emotion and desire.

If a devil had chanced on peering what's going inside Drake's mind during his early days, it might get scared shitless how can such a young boy harbored such degree of maliciousness and murderous thoughts inside his little head.

These series of events made Drake's mind extremely twisted. That he developed a misanthropic and cynical nature.

Only because of Jessica, his sister, acting as a brake that Drake controlled any impulsive action he might have unleashed years ago.

Over the years, if Drake learned something, it was patience and control.

…

Facing such demand from Charlie, Drake let go of his sister's embrace.

His expression is calm but no one can imagine that they were staring at an abyss and that they were about to be swallowed.

Drake is about to walk towards Charlie but a hand holds him firmly, stopping him from coming near Charlie.

His sister Jessica, was shaking her head asking Drake not to come over. She was worried about her brother, him. And it warms his numb heart.

Drake gently removed Jessica's hand and said–"it's okay, I know what I'm doing. You always cared for me over the years, sacrificing the much happiness you deserve. Now it's my turn to care for you and make you happy."

Seeing Drake Sincere's look, her eyes began to shed tears again.

She reluctantly let go of Drake as he made his way towards Charlie.

"What the fuck took you so long!? Just because you have some gun, don't think that you can act high and mighty in front of me!"

After Charlie said those, he looked over at Carlo making a signal through his eyes.

Carlos, seeing these, nods his head as he picks up the wooden pole left by Jessicab as he comes over beside Charlie.

Drake was just three meters away from Charlie.

"Now crawl over here and bark like a dog, lest my patience's gone. And you better hand that gun over unless you want to experience my full wrath! Such a dimwit like you isn't worthy of holding a gun!"

Carlo stared fiercely towards Drake as if to back up what Charlie said.

Drake's expression didn't change, it was still his expressionless face he always wore when facing others except for his sister.

People around didn't intervene and only spectated what was happening as if they were watching a live action film.

They thought that Drake would give in and comply with Charlie. But they could never be so wrong.

What did Drake's do made them surprised and also shuddered!
