Chapter 669 - A Story from the Past, The Root of Revenge for a Poor Girl (1/2)

Day 148 - 12:28 PM - Factory Area, Rebel Base, San Pablo Poblacion, Municipality of Viga, Catanduanes

Emellynm had already gone on a bloody rampage, killing her former subordinates, those that took the courage to revolt against her rule.

Knowing that they had no other choice to take, the rebels started to fight back. There was no going back when they chose to follow Renz and his plans.

Emellynn was not an unreasonable person. Her rules were all within reason of moral standards. The problem, however, was how she handled punishments. An honest mistake might be forgiven. But intentional ones were immediately given capital punishment.

Their leader killing their members for their mistakes was not an unfamiliar scene in this base. In truth, some of the members even started to get used to it.

And that was what Renz and those that sided with him could not accept. After all, they did not want to be bound to such strict rules.

Now that they blatantly went against her, there would be no future for them unless they killed this monster of a woman.

RATATATATATA!!!

Gunshots coming from different calibers of guns continued echoing nonstop.

However, their efforts were never enough to take down the enraged Emellynn.

Emellynn continued to throw her conjured icicles as she traversed the field. One of the icicles tore a rebel's leg. He was still alive, but he was already out of commission to continue fighting. While screaming in pain, he did not notice that Emellynn was already in front of him until she picked him up.

”M-MISS EMELLYNN!!! LEADER!! F-FORGIVE ME! P-PLEASE SPA-”

SPLURT!

Blood splattered, dyeing Emellynn's ice armor in red. Without mercy, she tore the rebel's body into two with her ice-covered hands.

Emellynn turned to the other rebels that followed Renz's orders.

The sight of her bloodthirsty eyes and body tainted with blood was enough to give them nightmares.

”FIRE! FIRE!”

Renz ordered as he picked up an assault rifle lying nearby and started firing at Emellynn.

But of course, the bullets he fired did not do anything to their faction leader at all. Instead, an icicle came flying towards his direction that he frantically evaded.

”Wew...”

Mark could not help but whistle, seeing how Emellynn was brutally killing her former men. There was no remorse or hesitation. There was only pure burning rage from the bottom of her heart.

Nevertheless, Mark was not surprised.

Mutators had mental traits, after all. And Emellynn's Mutator Trait was [Revenge].

The urge to make Renz and his men pay for their sins fueled Emellynn's rage to an unbelievable degree. Mark could tell that even if he tried to use his [Emotion Induction] to Emellynn and try to convert her fury into something else, nothing would happen.

Emellynn's killing intent was already off the charts and was still increasing at this moment.

”Revenge, huh...”

Mark murmured.

”I'm surprised. How can you tell?”

Suddenly, a voice asked Mark. It was no other than Felix that was sitting not far from Mark.

Mark turned to Felix, but instead of replying, he took the opportunity to observe him.

Felix appeared to be a young man in his mid-twenties. His fringed up hair was ash-colored that looked natural despite not being a Mutator. It was also impossible that he was an albino since, aside from his hair, he looked like a regular person. There was also his eyes that had red pupils.

Mark could not help but think that Felix was some sort of demon. However, it felt that it was not the case. This man had no demonic aura at all. There were no traces of him emitting magical power either.

Felix let out an interesting smile, sensing that Mark was sizing him up. However, he did not say anything about it. Instead, he turned his eyes back at Emellynn and started to speak.

”Miss Emellynn is such a pitiful woman, isn't she?”

'Pitiful? What the hell is this guy talking about?'

Mark could not help but think.

”Establishing power is the least of her goals. However, to actually fulfill her goals, she needed to establish power first. But despite what she looked like, she valued her position as it didn't only protect innocent people in this place, but she was also holding unto the goals of the people following her sincerely.”

Felix then shrugged.

”She must be distraught now, seeing that the people following her are now dead bodies scattered around her.”

Mark finally understood. This guy was explaining what was happening to Emellynn right now. No wonder that woman was getting increasingly furious as time went on. The more she saw the bodies scattered around her, her urge to seek revenge acc.u.mulated deeper.

”Do you want to know why Miss Emellynn became a member of the rebels?”

Felix asked Mark.

Like before, Mark did not reply. However, Felix still continued.

”Miss Emellynn did not share the same visions of the leaders of the NPA before the outbreak. Establishing a new government? Miss Emellynn did not care for any of that. What she wanted is to get revenge on the current Government.”

***

A long time ago, there was a family living in the mountains of Catanduanes. It was a family of four. A father, a mother, their son, and the youngest, their daughter.

Yes, it was far from civilization. It was literally at the foot of the mountains, after all.
