Chapter 216: A life worth living (2/2)

A loud bang was heard on the table as her father hit it with the underside of his hand

“Xin, whatever reason they ht have had, it doesn’t matter We want to keep you safe We tried it your way, and it didn’t work out Further you froet wasn’t really me, it can still happen, and I just can’t take that risk

“I admit that I was selfish when I listened to hter to a public school’… it sounded good for e, but I should have never risked your well-being … I’ve made a mistake, Xin Your life is far more important than what the voters think of reed that we’ll be sending you to a boarding school in a Tier-2 city under a fake name You can come back to see us on the weekends”

This hat she was afraid of, when she heard her ined this would be the result

‘I have… I have to fight back… I don’t want to live like that’

“Dad!” Xin shouted back “You just said thatabout I et soh this stuff Please!”

Her parents were often stubborn when it ca already made up their mind, but they did listen to their firstborn son

“I’ree with them” Jayden looked down “I know it’s not fair for you to suffer like this when I didn’t have to However, when I was younger, our parents weren’t iures yet Barely anybody cared about our Clove fah isn’t safe right noon’t always be there to protect you”

Immediately, Xin felt defeated, not even her brother was on her side With her parents like this, they would never trust her, not even when she was an adult She knew that her father would constantly be putting guards on her When would it end? She couldn’t see any light in sight

“Still, I have to agree that this is your life That’s why I do have a suggestion None of us would have to worry if Xin was… like ht?” Jayden asked, and from the reaction of her parents it was clear that this was the first time they had even entertained such a possibility

“If she could protect herself, you wouldn’t have to worry Xin, this is co the Altered Fighting Academy like I did?”

Both of her parents looked at each other, they didn’t really knohat to say, and it wasn’t really a suggestion they were expecting

“Don’t get hter or anything like that, but it’s a two-year course, and we do have the money So why not make her into an Altered that can protect herself? We’ll keep who she is away fro, there won’t be any thugs in the street that will be able to take her on”

It was so because of her brother, but never thought about it as a profession Even though her brother said she didn’t have to ular school

“I’ll do it!” The teenage girl made up her mind

‘If that’s what it takes, so I can live the way I want, I’ll gladly become an Altered!’
