Chapter 260 - GANG (UNEDITED) (2/2)
”You miss them don't you?” Fuji asked her as he gestured for her to sit first.
”What is it you want to say. Hurry up. I don't have all night” She answered coldly.
The others looked at her but were not so surprised she was talking to him like that. She had always been that way but it still felt strange to them since no one dared talk to Fuji like that.
”Let's have a drink first. We've not all gathered like this for years.”
”You promised me. You promised you were never going to disturb me again. What is this about?” She yelled at him in anger. She was no longer scared as she looked at them. She was angry!
”It seems she is not interested in catching up with you guys” Fuji complained to the others but he didn't look annoyed.
The others said nothing. It was their norm to always remain quiet when Fuji spoke unless he asked for their opinion which was actually a rare occurrence.
”Then let's get to business. Everyone get seated.”
The others soon found themselves sitting except Sara who was still standing with a look of displeasure.
”Did you have to go that far with my little cousin? Do you act so childishly now?” She asked Fuji.
He sipped a bit from his wine glass before twirling it around with the stem.
With his eyes fixed on the drink, he began to speak. ”Would you have agreed to come here if we had not done so? What's the big deal not receiving a prize?”
”If it wasn't a big deal then you wouldn't have done that! Why didn't you just come for me instead of hurting her?” It almost made her cry when she remembered how Joreen had suppressed her tears that day.
”Remember when I told you that before you can be strong, you shouldn't have weaknesses. We only did something insignificant and you're already acting up. Shouldn't you be happy it wasn't your father's restaurant. Or your Aunt. Or even...a CEO?”
He slowly lifted his eyes to look at her and saw her tense up.
She swallowed hard and tried to control her unsteady breath but it wasn't working. She knew she couldn't act rashly when it came to these people. It was the reason she was still very calm.
She knew she had to act indifferent. It was the only way she would be able to win against them. But no matter how hard she tried, it wasn't working. She still didn't want to give up anyway.
”So? You can try.. But you should already know me by now. You should know I won't let you hurt anyone close to me”
”Because you're a good fighter? Would you like to have a little training with Snake let's see how much you've improved over the years?”
The others who had been quiet the whole time looked at him in surprise. What? Snake should fight with her? Was he planning to kill Sara?
Even Snake was also shocked when he heard Fuji's words.
Thinking Sara would be scared, they heard her scoff.
”You don't seem to be scared. Even if you've been taking some classes lately, do you think you can be compared to a full BLACK? If not for the ritual we performed on you years ago, did you think you would have been able to lift your weak body to fight?”
So they even knew about the classes she was taking? How long have they been monitoring her? She sighed irritably.
”Which useless ritual are you talking about? You think that was the reason I could do everything I did?”
”Obviously.”
”Don't kid yourself. I had the will to live that was why I could do everything I did I wanted to live and be free from your clutches.”
”You would have died if we hadn't saved your life. Do you think you would be standing here today if we hadn't saved your life?”
”You ruined my life!” She placed a hand on her chest to show how much pain she was going through ”I would have preferred death to the kind of life you made me live. But I had to live so as to get away from you all.”
”But we saved you. That's why you can enjoy all of these now. Getting famous, having fun and meeting a rich boyfriend. Isn't that so?”
Sara laughed humourlessly before turning to walk away. ”I won't continue this conversation with you band of thieves.”
For the first time, Fuji's eyes darkened.
The others also shifted unconformably in their seats as they witnessed the entire exchange.
”We all saw you as our family. I took you as my daughter. Isn't it unfair that you are treating us this way? Come back to us.” Fuji said calmly but his eyes were still dark.
She turned around to look at him in disbelief. ”Are you high on expired drugs or something? You took me as your daughter? Would you treat your real daughter the way you treated me? Think long and hard about how you treated me and tell me if you would ever treat your real daughter like that. Would you... try to rape your daughter? You should be happy I am not putting a knife to your throat right now you disgusting old man”
