Battle of Ascension

Chapter 78: The Reasons

On the top big bed in one room, Randy and Zhen Yi were panting. They finished their battle.

"It has been three months since we married, and I still don't know about your past," Suddenly Randy said while put his lips on her forehead.

"Heh, it's because you never ask me, I know your past though," Zhen Yi answered lazily with eyes half-opened eyes.

"Yeah, it must be my mom who told you about my past,"

"Yeah, your mom told me everything about you. It would be perfect if your childhood photo was included," Zhen Yi smiled while her finger drew a circle in his chest.

"Now your turn to tell me about your past, especially about your martial arts, I am so curious about it. I meant the world before was different from the present world. You didn't have to become an expert fighter like now, but it seems you were strong even before the Battle of Ascension began," This thought had been in his mind for a long time, it was just he didn't have the right chance to ask.

"I learned martial arts was because of my family circumstances, I felt insecure growing up in the Zhen Family. So I need myself to become strong to lessen the insecurity in my heart,"

"My papa died when I was 7 years old. Before my father died, we lived a happy life. But it changed after my father died. My papa's family took us to live with them, I thought when we moved there the sorrow of losing my papa will be lessen because there was my grandfather, uncles, and aunts. At first, my papa family welcomed us enthusiastically, but the thing went wrong only after I and my mama lived there for one month,"

Randy heard the story earnestly as his wife told him. Looking at her husband who listened seriously, she continued,

"After one month, my grandpa took all my papa assets left behind for us with the reason they will take care of the affairs about the business because both of us are women. He said he will give it back after I finished my college later,"

"After the day my grandpa took all the assets, the treatment from my papa family changed 180 degrees. My uncles and aunts become cold to us, even my cousins starting to mock me. Even my grandpa did the same after he took all the assets me and my mama, never get to see him again,"

"From that time I felt insecure in my heart. Luckily my grandma treated us better than the rest. If there were no grandma help us there, maybe we will get kicked out of the Zhen Family's house. My grandma doted on me and she is always in me and my mama side. Yeah, because the protection from my grandma, my uncles, aunts, and my cousins treated me better than before, though they still cold to me and mama but it's become better,"

"From that time, I made a request to my grandma. That is to learn martial arts. After lived there for more than one month, I knew there is a martial arts hall for Zhen Family so I requested to my grandma to learn martial arts to reduced my insecure feeling in my heart, and that's work,"

"The coach in the martial arts hall is my father childhood friend, so he treated me very well and he became the second person in Zhen Family beside my grandma who treated me and my mama kindly. He taught me everything he learned to me. He said I have a talent for martial arts and taught me everything he had,"

"I learned the martial arts of the Zhen Family for 10 years old, though I still could not defeat the coach, my martial arts is the best in the Zhen Family young generation. And in that time, the coach died because of the car accident so I stopped my training in martial arts,"

Here, suddenly Randy had an urged to ask her, why stopped the training? But Zhen Yi cut him off before even he could speak.

"I know you have a question such, why I have stopped the training, right? It was because the one who replaced the coach was a young man. At first, I don't have a problem with the new coach, and I still practice my martial arts. But after one month the new coach coaching in the Zhen Family's martial arts, he confessed to me. Of course, I rejected him outright, without any hesitation,"

Actually, Randy wanted to ask something, but he remembered that she said just listened to her. So he kept his mouth shut.

"But the new coach obsessed with me till one day he tried to **** me. But surprisingly, I beat him and here there is doubt arise in my heart. Why the coach in martial arts hall so weak? Even weaker than me, but someday I accidentally heard this was planned by my cousins. After knowing this I just buried it to my heart and even I didn't dare to say it to my grandma,"

"Afterward I only lived with my mama and grandma, I only believe them. Though I have friends, but I didn't trust them because in my mind there was a thought, even my cousins wanted to harm how can I believe in them?"

"At the age of 21 years old, I finished my college. What I did after graduated is ask my papa's assets that taken from me by my grandpa. But my grandpa didn't give it back, or you could say from the first time he took it from us, he didn't intend to give it back to us back,"

"Not even he didn't give it back to me but he also set a marriage agreement for me, he said because there is Zhen Family blood in me so I should obey the arrangement from him for the glory of the Zhen Family. Of course, the marriage agreement is not with the Long Family but it was Song Family, the richest family at that time,"

"Afterward I kept avoided the Zhen Family until they used my mama to threaten me. Finally, I comply with the arrangement but with condition that I will not marry the man from Song Family until I reach 28 years old. They agreed to my condition and I lived my dull every day until the Battle of Ascension began,"

"After the Battle of Ascension began, I already told you my story, right? Zhen Family annulled the agreement with the Song Family after the Long Family proposed another marriage agreement, and the rest you know,"

After finished her story, her expression became melancholic. Looking at his wife expression, he hugged her tightly and whispered to her ears with a soft yet gentle voice,

"It's okay, now you have me and tyrannical mom-in-law. There will be no one dare to bully you,"

Zhen Yi nodded her head and said," Now it's your turn to tell me your story,"

"Is not my mom already told you?"

"But I don't know what you feel," Zhen Yi said.

"All right then, Actually I didn't have any complex or something special in 21 years old of my life. I lived my life happily with my parents spoiled me because I was their only child. My parents always granted what I want. So, in 21 years of my life, I only did what I want because everything will be granted by my parents,"

"Even when in my college, I didn't study seriously, anyway I will inherit my dad company so I just playing with my two best friends, Michael and Widi until the Battle of Ascension began,"

"At first, after heard the announcement from the Battle System, I was afraid. I meant before the Battle of Ascension I was just a college student and suddenly I need to hunt a beast or monster to survive, of course, I was scared. Even though I did exercise in the gym but it was only limited to that, even I never fight against other people,"

"So, at first I was afraid, but I met my two best friends in the first day of Battle of Ascension so my fear was reduced, and three of us hunting together. The first-day hunting, we were so excited and managed to level up two levels in one day. After the success in the first the day, I began to regard this like an RPG game. Kill beast, level up and become strong, that was my thought after the first day of Battle of Ascension,"

"The next day, I persuaded my two best friends to hunt higher level beasts, so we can level up faster. At first, they rejected my idea, especially Michael. But after some time, I managed to persuade them and we hunting the Black Wildcat,"

"And you know the rest of the story, my two best friends died because of my idea to hunting the higher level beast. I locked myself for 5 days, blamed myself. Later, I became afraid to hunt higher-level monsters besides the Demonic Rabbit despite my level higher than the Demonic Rabbit. The incident my two best friends leave a fear in my heart, it was like I am becoming a coward,"

"I meant, I just pampered child and birth with a golden spoon in my mouth but suddenly the world changed. The strong prey the weak, the dog eating dog, this give birth a fear in my heart, but I managed to suppress the fear in my heart after I met my two best friends in the first day. However, in the second day of Battle of Ascension, I made mistake that ends up my two best friends death. From that day a fear in my heart surging out from my heart that make me afraid to hunt higher-level beast, moreover, my purpose to hunt is to survive not to become strong, so why should I hunt the higher-level monster?"

"But it's okay now, the fear in my heart already gone, and it's because of you," Randy kissed her forehead.

"I need to become strong so there will be no one will bully you again and harm my family. After hearing about Long Family, that day I tried to beat the fear in my heart and succeeded. Now, after the fear gone there was a new feeling popped out. When I hunting, I felt thrilled and excited especially for the stronger monster"

He stopped speaking because he realized that his wife fell asleep. Randy sighed helplessly, she was the one who asked him to tell his story and now, she fell asleep.

He kissed her forehead, nose before finally on her lips before finally, he followed her to sleep.
