"Finish him off I have other things to do"
Don Omer said.
The man next to him walked forward towards the leader on his knees, took out his knife and cut off his throat.
Seeing this Jason got scared and backed off but while doing so he knocked a glass bottle which was on the corner.
As the glass bottle fell it rolled causing a sharp sound in the silent dark alley.
Don Omer and the man next to him got startled, Don Omer signaled the man in black to take a look.
Jason tried to run but his leg tripped and he fell down.
He bruised his knees, suddenly he felt someone grabbing the back of his shirt and lift him up in the air.
Jason got scared and turned his head to see it is the same man who just killed the leader.
He got scared but didn't scream, he tried to struggle out of it but couldn't, the man just carried him and took him to Don Omer.
"Just a kid?"
He asked
"Yes Boss"
"Hmm, hey kid did you see what just happened?"
Don Omer asked as he stared into Jason's eyes.
Jason didn't move his head and just looked at Don Omer, he didn't know what he should do so he decided to stay still.
"Your eyes are very rare, even though you are scared, they don't even show a hint of fear in them"
Done Omer said as he looked at Jason's eyes.
"Where do you live?"
He asked as he sat back in the chair.
"In the slums"
Jason answered
"Why are you here?"
"Trying to find something to eat for my brother"
"Oh, so you have a brother?"
"He is not my real brother, but I see him as my own"
"Hahahaha, what an interesting child, here take this"
Don Omer threw a 10 Gs coin at Jason, Jason caught it and looked at it with big eyes, he has seen a 10 Gs coin but he never held it in his hand, this 10 Ds could buy him food for a weak, it could get his father three bottles of his local beer.
"Let him go, I see great potential in him, well if he lives till then that is"
Hearing Don Omer, the man in the black suit nodded and let go of Jason.
"Ok kid, scram"
Don Omer said and got off from the chair and turned around, suddenly rain started to pour, the man in the black suit took out an umbrella out of nowhere and placed it on top of Don Omer.
He started to walk away.
"Mister wait"
Jason called.
Don Omer stopped his feet and turned around and looked at Jason who is currently standing there as the rain falls on him, completely draining him.
"Are you a powerful person?"
Jason asked as he looked into Don Omer's eyes
"Yes I am"
He answered with a smile
"The most powerful?"
Jason asked again, his voice had a sense of curiousness
"In this city? Then yes"
Don Omer said and looked at Jason's eyes
"How did you become so powerful?"
Jason asked, this time his voice had a sense of finding something
"I killed my way up"
Don Omer said with a cold voice
"Can killing people give you power?"
Jason asked with a faint voice.
"If a person is suppressing someone and not letting him grow stronger than he/she has to take action and what will be that action will depend on that person, but after taking that action he/she can never go back"
Jason just started at Don Omer.
"I decided to kill, and that's what I am doing till now"
Don Omer stopped talking and turned around and walked away.
Jason just stood there in the rain, he then remembered Derry and ran towards where Derry is.

Don Omer sat in his luxury car and looked at the alley where Jason was, he saw Jason was not there anymore.
"Branden, I think I created something really amazing, either a devil or a liberator, now it's up to him on which path he goes"
The man in the black suit, his name is Branden and he is the personal bodyguard for Don Omer.
"Boss, was it okay for you to give that coin to him, you said someone special gave that to you?"
"That kid, I was just like him. No, his desire for power is ten times more than mine, let's just say its fate, I was helped by someone when I was small and now I am helping that kid, just another cycle of fate"
Branden didn't say anything and stepped on the gas and drove away.

Back to Jason, he arrived at the alley where he left Derry, he looked around and tried to find Derry but he couldn't see Derry anywhere.
"DERRY"
"DERRY"
Jason shouted as the rain fell on the dark alley.
"Big brother I am here"
Jason suddenly heard a voice and turned around to see Derry's small head peak out of a trash container, luckily it was an empty container with no trash in it, no one knows how many days has it been since someone visited this alley to throw trash.
"You scared me"
Jason rushed towards Derry and hugged him.
"It suddenly started to rain so I hid inside, did I do something wrong?"
Derry started to tear up.
"No, you did great, you should always take care of your health ok?"
"Ok, but Big Brother, you are dnched (Derry is just a kid so he could say drenched properly) from rain"
"Don't worry about me, nothing will happen to me"
"Big Brother is strong"
Jason just smiled and nodded.

Jason looked at Derry who is sleeping soundly as his head is on his lap.
'I have to overcome the thing that is stopping me from getting strong'
Jason thought of it for a while and he only got one answer and that is his father, the thought of his father beating him scared him.
'I have to become powerful, I want power, I cannot be scared of everything, I need power'
Little Jason's hunger for power grew more and more, now he had only one thing in his mind and that is to get rid of the biggest fear he had and that is his father.
'I will get rid of you'
Jason said to himself.
As the rain stopped he got out of the trash container and walked around to find something to wipe off the water from his body, he was feeling cold for quite a while now, he sneaked into a house and stole some towels that were hung outside.
He returned back to the trash container, he used one of the towels to cover Derry and another to wipe his body.
He also fell asleep, the next morning he opened his eyes to see the closed top of trash container, he opened the top to be hit by the bright sunlight, he closed his eyes and slowly opened them, he looked around and saw no one is present around.
He looked at Derry and saw him rubbing his eyes.
'The sunlight must have woken him up as well'
Jason thought and fully opened the top of the container and got out, he carefully placed the 10 Gs coin inside the small pocket of his half pant, he was careful not to put the coin in the torn side of the pant.
He noticed Derry has opened his eyes and stood up while rubbing his eyes.
"Brother I am hungry"
Derry said.
"Come let's go and find some food"
Jason said and lifted Derry out of the container and took him deep into the alley.
After going around the alley for a while Jason brought Derry to the local market near the slum, he tightly holds Derry's hand and looked at him.
"No matter what happens don't leave my hand ok?"
"Ok"
Derry said with a smile.
Jason was careful not to go into any hotel, he knew this market and their merchants, they would just take away a poor kids money and chase them off without giving anything back so he had to look around to find some decent shopkeepers who are kind.
After looking around for a while Jason finally found a small shop, it was run by an old lady, she was making normal rice meal.
Jason didn't go directly and just stood there looking at the old lady, Derry beside him looked at the rice she is preparing and gulped down.
Luckily for them, the old lady suddenly noticed them and beckoned at them, Jason hesitated for a second and decided to go towards the old lady.
"Are you kids hungry?"
The old lady asked with a kind smile.
"YES"
Derry said with a big smile on his face.
"Hahahaha, look at you, what a cute little boy"
The old lady pinched Derry's cheek and looked at Jason.
"Take a seat there, I will get you two something to eat, and don't worry about money, where would you two little thing get that from anyway"
The old lady soon gave them a bowl of rice with some curry to eat, Jason and Derry quickly finished it.
"Hahaha both of your appetites are quite big"
The old lady said and took away the plate to the wash basin, suddenly two men entered the small hotel and kicked the table aside and pulled out two chairs and sat down.
The old lady quickly came out and looked at them with a worried expression.
"Hey, old lady when are you giving us the money you owe?"
One of them said as he looked around the shop, he stopped and looked at Jason and Derry for a second before looking back at the old lady.
"Just give me two more months I will give it to you, I promise"
The old lady begged.
"Look, old woman, our boss is kind when he gave you that money, he didn't even put an interest in it because he felt bad for you back then, but the returning date is over and it has been a month already"
Another one said with a sharp voice.
"I promise I will give it back in two months"
The old lady said.
"Look, this is the last time I will say this, in 15 days we want our money or you have to abandon your little store"
The man said and walked away with his partner.
The old lady sighed and looked at Jason and Derry.
"Don't worry kids, it's just something personal, you both look very dirty, go in and take a bath"
The old lady sent both of them inside.
"Old bitch come out"
Jason suddenly heard this voice, hearing it he shivered a little.
"Ok you two get in and take a bath I have a customer"
Saying so the old lady walked out, Jason peeped out to see if this person is really the one who he thinks it is.
And he is right, it is his father and he is drunk.
"Get me a plate of white rice and some delicious chicken"
Jason's father said and sat down on a chair.
"Mister, you seem to be very much happy these days, you are eating chicken daily, you must have hit a jackpot"
The old lady said with a smile and served the items he asked for.
"Of course, that useless son of mine was at least worth something"
Jason's father said and started to dig in the food.
The old lady frowned but didn't say anything, she knew what this man meant but it is none of her business to look into her customer's matter.
Jason didn't want to look at this man's face anymore, he went back with Derry and cleaned himself up.
As he finished bathing he saw that his father has just finished his food and is about to leave, as he left Jason looked at the old lady.
"Old granny can you look after Derry for a day, I need to do something"
Jason asked the old lady.
The old lady became surprised.
"I can do that but what do you have to do?"
"I cannot tell you but it's very important"
Jason said.
The old lady nodded, seeing her nod Jason sighed and looked at Derry who had put his head down and was tightly holding onto his sleeve.
"Big Brother don't leave"
"Derry, don't worry I will come back for you"
"I will also come with big brother"
"Derry, have I ever lied to you?"
Derry shook his head, saying no.
"Then, this one last time I have to go alone, ok?"
"Ok"
Derry nodded and walked towards the old lady and grabbed her and looked at Jason.
Jason sighed and walked away.
"Granny, big brother is going to come back right?"
"Yes my little angle he will definitely come back, he promised you right"
"Yes, big brother never broke his promise, he will come back"
Derry said with a smile.
"That's good then"
The old lady smiled.
