Illegitimate Child
Sabrina was shocked that Isaac would tell her about the situation he was in.
Shouldn’t he be more on guard around me? I’ve tricked him once back in the forest. If it weren’t for me
acting as the bait, he wouldn’t have gone this far.
She knew Sebastian would come for her, so she told Isaac confidently, “Don’t worry about it. My search
party’s going to take me away without a hitch.”
But to her surprise, the moment she said that, Isaac sneered.
“Don’t count on it. Do you know how the sniper got him back at Bellridge? Because it’s nuclear wave
bullets. It is the latest tech made by illegal firearm dealers. And this place has a ton of that stuff around
it.”
A solemn silence fell upon the garage. Devin was already geared up and was about to sneak in, disarm
the bomb, and save Sabrina. But when he heard what Isaac just said, he stopped himself.
He knew how powerful nuclear wave bullets were since they almost melted him into a puddle. Now that
the whole place had that same stuff lying around, he couldn’t just go in as he planned.
Once again, he had to stop his mission, but he wouldn’t look away from the garage. His eyes were
filled with murderous intent as if he was a tiger waiting for the perfect chance to pounce at its prey.
After Sabrina was done processing the new information, she stopped struggling, but she asked, “Why?
Why did you turn out like this?”
Why did I turn out like this?
Isaac felt like laughing at that stupid question.
I didn’t turn out like this. I am already like this to begin with. It hasn’t even been that long since we met.
Only a year since your aunt introduced me to you.
God, she’s so stupid.
He had to try his hardest to hold back his laugh, and he answered,
“I have always been like this.”
“What?”
“What I’m saying is I’m not a good person to begin with. After I was accepted to a famous college in
Jadeborough when I was eighteen, I was kidnapped right before I even stepped foot in it.”
He was kidnapped?
Sabrina stared at him, surprised that he could talk about it so calmly.
This guy is only a couple of years younger than me. Which makes him around thirty years old. But the
government was cracking down hard on kidnappings twelve years ago, so how did this happen?
Didn’t his parents get worried?
“What happened then?”
“Nothing. Just trapped in a hellish training camp for three years. And then I became a part of The
Coffee Shop.” When he talked about his past, it inevitably brought up some dark memories, and his
eyes glinted with the same malice back at the forest.
Nobody was born evil. Not even Isaac. He turned out the way he was because of the environment
around him. After all, he was just an eighteen-year-old boy when he was kidnapped. There was no way
he could resist the forces then.
Sabrina was surprised, but not just because of Isaac’s depressing past. She also realized that Isaac
wasn’t The Coffee Shop’s boss based on his testimony.
So who’s the real boss then?
She was shaken to her core at the thought that the real boss was still at large.
“Why did they kidnap you then? All of you are famous martial artists, so why did they kidnap a teenager
like you back then?”
“You know, I had the same question as you back then.” Isaac laughed at himself, but a moment later,
his eyes were filled with hatred again.
“But then I found out why.”
“So what’s the reason?”
“My father.” He sneered. “They made him the top dog of the nation, and he sold his son to the devil.
Not long after I was kidnapped, my half-brother was taken in as well.”
Sabrina couldn’t believe what she was hearing. The news was no less than a bomb for her. She stared
at him in disbelief, trying to process what he just said.
His father is the top dog of the nation? Then that means…
“It can’t be. Y-You’re…”
He mocked, “Exactly. What? You think Sebastian has me in the palm of his hands? Hmm, I bet he
thinks that too, or else he wouldn’t have locked Colton in The Ataraxy.” He sounded sarcastic.
Then, he turned to look at Sabrina.
She didn’t know what to say to that.
