Chapter 33: High Heaven Guild
Chapter 33: High Heaven Guild
"Grandpa has signed his legacy over for us." Julia was her name. She was Yumi's sister and just one year younger than her. Both of them were the best students and had many friends around them.
They never lacked anything, but they worked hard nonetheless. For fifteen and sixteen years old girls, school was the priority.
But the adult world quickly knocked at their doors, "He just died Can't we not speak about it?" Yumi replied to her sister with sadness written on her face.
Julia's face flashed with pain as well, but she added, "It's a father who reminds me about it." The legacy was signed on the two granddaughters and no one else could take over it. The one who knew about its content was their father and his actions didn't hide how much he desired it.
Yumi knew that he mostly spoke about it to Julia because she was younger and more naive. She reminded her sister, "Remember grandpa's words This is money for our future where we both become independent from our father and build our own families with love and care." Their father was a person who thought only about his companies.
He had never spared time for his father and even used second-handed means to kick him away from their family's business. He then developed so many more that the business world praised him daily.
But he ignored his family and the ones that needed him the most, "Forget about him."
Yumi looked at herself in the mirror while combing her hair. Her black, smooth, and silky hair cascaded seamlessly. Her red lips didn't need external stuff and her beautiful green eyes concealed an utmost love for her freedom and a little independence she had so far. Adding to her immaculate figure and already bountiful chest for a sixteen years old girl, Yumi was the beauty who could bring shame to any idols and celebrities around her age.
She puckered her lips and giggled, "All that's left is to end the school and find a prince charming."
Julia threw an irritated side-glance at her sister, "Prince charming? Rather than prince charming, you will get a monkey!" She stated while hugging her flat chest. Thus, the source of her irritation became clear.
"Monkeys are cute too. I don't mind being the smarter one," Yumi didn't feel offended nor annoyed due to that wish. Her smile didn't wear off until loud knocks assailed her from behind.
Their father came, "Julia! Yumi! Open the doors! It's me, your father!" The person they didn't want to see the most came at the wrong moment.
The two sisters sighed and Julia went to open the door, "I will open. Calm down!" She raised her voice, then her father barged into the house while nearly pushing her down. He didn't care that Julia nearly lost balance and tripped, but called out to Yumi out loud, "Come down!" Their house was a two-story building, so both girls had enough room for each other.
Yumi reluctantly appeared on the stairs, then looked down on her father with hate concealed within her eyes, "What do you want?
His name was Feng, "I got news about a gold mine. An immersive virtual game will begin in two years."
"A game?" Julia asked curiously.
"Yes. A game that will send our bodies to the new world and allow us to compete! Humans are competitive by nature, but the majority is held back due to society and its standings. I am the opposite and I plan to dominate that market. Besides, I know what competitiveness can do to a human, so I will leverage that and create a powerful force within this world." Feng was certain that this game would explode with popularity and there would be a high need on the market.
He planned the guild, the streaming services, and rights All plans were in his mind!
But he needed way more money! He already sold a few companies and prepared to take a risk, "It's a future for all of us. In two years, Yumi should be done with her school. You will be able to make a name for yourself and-"
"I refuse," Yumi cut her father and averted his eyes, "Your disgusting heart is one thing, but you actually had a thought of using grandpa's money for this uncertain and high-risk business? You look down on him?! Do you even know that grandpa began as a miner?! How hard he toiled to get money and secure a future for his family?! You want to risk his last money for a game?!"
Yumi glared at her father with wide eyes. One could see a venomous glitter slithering around those that were only exclusive to her father. Those eyes soon calmed down, "Leave. Leave and don't come here again," She waved her hand at him, then went upstairs to her room.
Julia glanced at her father with tears in her eyes, then rushed after her sister.
"Julia!" Feng extended his hand and stopped her, "You mustn't be stupid. Do you want to waste this money for three years? You can't even begin your company yet and can you manage one without my help? Do you know how many people you need for it? An eighteen years old girl won't even be able to begin it!"
"You don't believe in us!" Julia yanked her father's arm, then quickly ran after her sister.
Feng stood alone, his eyes closed. Dark lines spread on his forehead and he seemed to hold a lot of complaints about his daughters. He soon kicked the ground and rushed after them.
Using his adult strength, he forcefully opened the door leading to Yumi's room, then began another talk.
He tried various approaches and explained things in a way that Yumi and Julia could only get a rough guess.
Nonetheless, they didn't agree with him, and seeing how intrusive he was, Julia lost all her doubts and joined her sister, "Leave our house!"
The sisters couldn't push away their father as he was stronger, so they began to just move around the house without batting an eye at him.
WIth how desperate he was, Feng followed them and continued to spit out bullshit.
At some point, he couldn't contain his anger anymore, "How can you not help me?! I gave you a good home, a good mother, and dignified life that would make many jealous! What did you give me in return?!"
He grasped Julia's shoulders tightly, his fingers digging into her skin.
"It hurts Father" She cried out and avoided his hateful eyes that seemed to belong to a demon.
Feng didn't care. He shook her and asked again.
Yumi came from another room and shouted, "What are you doing?!" She tried to push Feng away as fast as possible, but the adult man didn't budge. He continued to shake Julia and repeated the same question.
However, he also glanced at Yumi and asked her too.
The sisters were left helpless with the one crying from grief and pain.
"Let her go! Let her go, you demon!" Yumi reached out for everything her hands could find, but to no avail. Her father soon got annoyed by that and pushed Julia while turning his eyes to Yumi.
However, it was the beginning of the nightmare.
Julia couldn't find any strength in her body, so she stumbled on the ground and fell down on the stairs. She hit the ground with her head.
"Julia!" The sound of her fall was so loud that the father and sister stopped in their tracks. Yumi instantly turned around and went downstairs to look over her sister. She grew paler when her eyes noticed the blood pool around Julia's head.
The blood continued to gush out and it seemed like it was unstoppable!
"Call an ambulance! What are you doing?! Father!" She cried, her shaking hands not even able to properly move.
Feng stuttered, "A-Ambulance Yes" He took out his phone and began to click the numbers.
However, unlike Yumi's eyes that were filled with disbelief and pain, Feng was looking at his daughter with fear.
Thus, what he said broke Yumi's heart, "Ambulance? Yes, my daughter has killed her sister."
"What did you say?" Yumi raised her incredulous eyes at Feng who stood up with a trembling hand. He looked so stressed and fearful that Yumi grew livid.
She trembled more after he replied, "You have to take the blame I can't I can't have even a little stain on my name, even if it was an accident. My business-"
"YOUR BUSINESS?!" Yumi howled, "Julia can still be saved And you didn't even try to help her! You just stood there and thought of a way to save your name?! I I can't believe it You are my father?"
To Yumi's disbelief, her father did nothing. He just stood in silence and waited for the ambulance to arrive. But Yumi couldn't contain her feelings within herself. Her eyes continued to turn more evil.
She soon confirmed her sister's death and kicked the ground, "I hate you! I hate you so much!" Yumi threw her fists at her father and made one of the worst mistakes. She pummeled him down and brought more bruises and wounds onto his body, so later on, his story would be more believable.
After the ambulance arrived and paramedics entered the house, they instantly fought two dreadful scenes. The first one was the girl's dead body swimming in the blood. The second one was the father getting his face punched by his daughter.
They took Yumi away from him, then the nightmare escalated.
Her father used his lawyers, the judge was also bribed by him.
"It wasn't me I loved my sister She was naive, a little silly, but I would never kill her I would never hurt her," Yumi, alone in the court, whispered. She had no strength to even speak, her body and mind exhausted. From her normal life, she had descended into hell with all people treating her like scum.
No one believed her, "It was not me," She pledged, but no one listened.
For the last time, Yumi raised her eyes at her father who expressionlessly participated in the case on the court. Before, he put all blame on her for the second time and didn't even allow her to talk back; not like Yumi could raise her voice.
"For four years, you will be sentenced. Half of it will be spent in prison after you hit legal age. As for now, you will be put in juvenile hall." The judge concluded and the nightmare continued.
Yumi still had good looks despite her exhaustion, "Look who has ended here. A killer? You don't look like a killer at all. Let's help her, ladies!" The jealous delinquent pulled Yumi's hair and other girls joined to play around.
Helpless and still shocked by the events, Yumi just thrashed around while pushed by their sick hands.
One month later, Yumi began to fight back.
-
[Present.]
"We are in the park. There aren't a lot of people. There is just an old fisherman not too far away!" Michu patted Yumi's back and followed the tips from the handsome dude. He raised his hand and stroked Yumi's hair while lending his shoulder to her.
Her cries got sucked by his clothes and sound got stifled as her face was completely buried within.
His other hand properly held Yumi. She was in his embrace on the bench and from afar, no one would be able to tell what was going on.
Anyone would rather feel that something hot was going on instead and they wouldn't bother.
A good example was a fisherman who gave thumbs up from afar in the beginning.
Alas, the sadness and relief had been coursing through Venomous.
"High Heaven Guild," Yumi finally said something!
"What is this guild?" Michu asked.
"A big enemy that must disappear I don't care about anyone in this guild. I don't feel anything towards people who are unaware of the demon guiding them. I am going to become a gangster and destroy that business network. I don't care I don't care at all"
"Being a gangster is bad!" Michu responded.
"I know I know you would be against it" Yumi said, then let his clothes go. She looked stunning with her red nose and cheeks. A small tear still clung to her eyes' corners and it made her seem like a princess.
Michu blushed profusely and didn't know where to look. He never was in such a situation!
"Are you that kind of man who likes to see damsels in distress?" Yumi jested with a faint smile, "I don't think I am one of them."
"No Uhh" Damsel in distress? What did it mean? Michu caressed his chin, then said, "You looked beautiful and your eyes looked loveable! Hehe, even if you know that I am against it, you don't want to let me go! You know I like women!"
"..." This idiot! Far from prince charming! Even prince monkey wouldn't suit him!
"We must go on with the compromise! Losing a job is a very stressful matter! I know because my mom was in such a situation a few times. That's why it would be the worst for us to take jobs from other people."
"Compromise? What do you have in mind?"
"Nothing."
"Of course I don't mind being the smarter one Hah, look We can always find partners" Yumi straightened her back, lay down on the bench, and crossed her arms. She also rested her leg on another, so all of this exuded relief.
Her still red face had a faint smile.
"Partners?" Monke asked.
"Yes, partners. Well, let's drop this topic. We don't even have subclasses. If we don't enjoy the game, then the whole road to the top will be arduous instead I want to enjoy this game starting from this moment Come here," Yumi's hand slithered around Michu's neck, then by putting some force on his cheek, she forced him to land on her thighs. She already took a proper position for that lap pillow and Michu couldn't complain at all.
Even though it was a little rough of her to push him down like that, "I know it! It's a lap pillow! Handsome dude told me about it." How fast can this dude speak?! His lips must be moving really fast! How could he gain such an ability? What did he train? That was the mystery of the handsome dude.
"Another pest This one I should thank later," Yumi stroked Michu's hair, then found a fisherman secretly showing his thumbs up at them.
She shook her head and laughed, "I will still go with the poison class. I like this route. A slow death to this guild"
"Don't speak about poison now! This doesn't suit your pretty face! Oh, can I take a photo? I am already better at taking those. It's because of our goodnights."
"Go ahead But don't share with anyone." Yumi agreed, knowing that Michu would share it with Nana if she didn't say anything.
Michu pouted, "But she is still suspicious of you. I think she also likes Sandra more because of the editor training! I saw some sparkles earlier in her photos. That looked a little pointless, though."
"Did you tell her about it?"
"No. She looked happy with this."
"See? You can keep some secrets. This photo is our secret."
"..."
Smooth.
