Chapter 6

Flashback

A young Justin was walking home from school, staring down at the ground kicking the tiny pebbles in between the cracks of the sidewalk tiles. If you look closely his face was covered with bandages and scratches. Unknown to Tzuyu and their aunt, Justin was regularly bullied and outcast by his classmates for having no parents. It didn't matter to him if he didn't have any friends. As long as he was able to graduate school with the highest honour and employed at a job that would allow him to take care of his sister, nothing else mattered. Speaking of sister, walking down the sidewalk he passed by a bakery. He entered the bakery to find some snacks for Tzuyu.

Ring Ring a Ling

Justin enters the bakery to see a variety of baked goods, from pineapple buns to hot dog buns. He looked around the bakery and saw a cake shaped as a dog with ears and a mouth with its tongue out. Immediately he knew that the cake was what he was going to buy.

Ring Ring a Ling

Justin walked out of the store with the cake box in his hand excited to show Tzuyu the cake he bought. While he was walking in the corners of his eyes he saw a man stumbling around the sidewalk across the street. Looking closely at the man's face, it was his dad, Justin ran towards him almost getting hit by the passing cars.

"APPA!"

His father turned into an alleyway when Justin turned into the alleyway he was suddenly shoved against the wall. Justin slides down the wall and looks up to his face

"appa"

"WhAT aRe yOu dOinG HEre BRat!" screamed his father

Justin smelt alcohol from his breath

"Why did you leave! Why did you leave Tzuyu! Your daughter"

"Haaahaha She is no daughter of mine, she's the devil's reincarnation!!! She's a murderer, She killed Samantha, my beloved wife YOUR MOTHER! Hehehe and I know how i'm going to bring her back"

Looking confused Justin stared at his "father" to see him to pull out a gun from the back of his pants. He was shocked, why does he have a gun in his pockets and then he realized.

"I'm Gonna Kill Her" He Laughed maniacally

"NO!''

Without second thoughts Justin jumped towards him trying to take the gun away. To only be smacked hard in the face and slammed against the ground

" You can't stop me, foolish little boy, since you like her so much maybe I should start with you." His "father" pointed the gun against Justin's forehead

Hurt and tired both mentally and physically the young boy couldn't move. Head up staring at crazy eyes that belong to the man that's going to kill him.

Fear

Fear was the only emotion that was going through his body.

Failure

Failure, he failed to give Tzuyu the life that he promised to her.

(Flashback in a Flashback)

" 哥哥," said a baby Tzuyu with a cheeky smile on her baby face

A younger Justin smiled brightly at her as that was her first word. 哥哥" was her first word

"Tzuyu you're too young to understand what has happened but I'll promise to you that I, Justin Chou, will do anything in my power to make you live a life of a QUEEN."

(Flashback in a Flashback end"

BANG BANG

He watches the man fall down in front of him, eyes wide open, laying on the ground dead in the pool of blood pouring down from the bullet between his eyes and his chest.

TAP TAP TAP TAP

Hearing the sound of footsteps Justin turned around to see a tall Russian man in his early 40s in a grey trench coat and hat. Justin looked at his hand to see him put the smoking gun back into his sleeves. Justin looks at him to see the Russian man staring back at him, after a minute of staring the Russian man chuckled.

"My my young boy you have some nice pairs of eyes don't you." The man said

Justin was silent

" Tell me, boy, do you feel fear? Do you feel hopeless? Do you want to protect the one closest to you?"

Justin could all but nod his head

"Well boy, My name is Ivan Petrovich and I can promise you if you join me you would PROTECT your precious ones"
