1 Alistair Jones (1/2)

A towering man with broad shoulders and a perfect physique was sitting on a broken-bench in the road platform. But his clothing's were a too dull; a wrinkled white t-shirt and an ordinary old grey trouser.

This man's sloppy attire and unkempt hair along with his rugged untrimmed beard, portrayed a typical unsuccessful man whose life was filled with failures and disappointments.

Any by-stander would pity him; but contrast to his messy apparel his eyes were like a deep icy abyss that had the power to devour anything and suck one's soul painlessly. Just one look at his eyes and anyone could tell that he's a man with great stories and tragedies.

If a person close this man were to see him sitting on a dusty broken bench like a beggar, they would be gaping till their jaws fell off. Because he's Alistair Jones, head of the leading multinational company in the world. Besides, he's also one of the richest men in the world.

Thirty years ago

Alistair Jones, the heir to Jones family one of the richest family in the country. He led a very valiant and somewhat lavish life with doting parents and carefree childhood. But everything changed after one fateful mishap; when Alistair was 12 years old his parents met with an accident and died.

Unlike typical relatives his relatives neither consoled nor supported him through his great distress instead they were like crazy starving wolves, his relatives were craving over his inheritance.

Alistair being an intelligent yet naïve kid couldn't preserve his rightful property; his heartless uncles ripped everything from him.

Then Alistair had to run for his life. Though he was extremely intelligent, he still was not able to survive the cruel world. The meager amount of money he was left with were either spent or stolen or cheated leaving him with nothing but hunger.

But his pride did not allow him to beg or steal for food and thus he just stood in the corner waiting for his death. This pride was ingrained in him from the birth by his parents and it was very hard to forgo something this deep-rooted.

Later that day a sturdy bald man came to famished Alistair, ”Are you willing to come with me?”

He didn't make it clear whether he wants to adopt Alistair or take him as servant, but Alistair agreed without any qualms and followed the man to a mansion. Later Alistair was surprisingly adopted by Roy.

Roy did not have family and treated Alistair as his own kid. Alistair was burning inside for getting his revenge. But his enemies were very really powerful and strong; moreover, they had just swallowed his assets so they were bound became even stronger. Though money cannot buy everything in the world, it could buy almost everything in the world. Quinn learnt these through the hard way; he resolved himself to become stronger than them to get his revenge.

But he buried all his hatred deep inside his heart, afraid of causing difficulties to Roy. But god did not entirely give up Alistair; Roy was an ex-military General with large influence and connections across the country. When Alistair found Roy's identity he immediately shared his tragic past and begged him for help.

But Roy wasn't willing to involve himself with though cunning beasts; he just wanted a peaceful retired life so instead of directly clashing with them Roy promised that he would train Quinn strong enough to fulfill his wish.
