Chapter 18: Velma's Shocking Confession

As the both got out of the movie room, Eugene made sure to avoid eye contact with Velma as much as possible but instead, Velma tried her possible best to witness Eugene’s reaction as she kept leaning forward towards Eugene’s face, with a huge smile on her own face.

“Uhm, hey, c....can you cut that out? Your creeping me out.” Said Eugene as he couldn’t withstand Velma’s pestering anymore.

“Okay, Mr. Horror movies scare the shit out of me.” Velma teased.

“That’s not true!” Eugene protested.

“Then let’s go back and finish up that movie, so that you can prove me wrong.” Velma suggested.

“You said it was boring and I adhered your plea. Now you want to go back in there? Hell no, pay the price for complaining about that masterpiece.” Said Eugene.

“Huh? Then I’ll give you a kiss to go back in there.” Velma teased as she leaned further towards his face, while positioning her lips with the attempt to kiss.

Eugene ignores the kiss and opens the exit door, went outside while holding the door and gestured his hand, saying, “we are heading to school now, after you.”

“You are so annoying!” Velma complained as she pouted while leaving the building.

As the both were walking up the street to the school, there was an awkward silence between the both. The only noise made between the both was Velma’s humming sound.

Finally, Velma broke off the awkward silence as she asked, “how are you able to be so strong and still pretend like a weak nerd.”

Hearing her question, Eugene let out a chuckle and answered, “let us say, we make mistakes at times.”

“Huh? Can you please make your statement more understandable?” Velma asked as she was thrown in confusion in Eugene’s last statement.

“Well, it all started when I was six. My mom was able to establish her own fashion firm through child support, gambling and high margin stock exchanges. No need to be surprised, you can say that I was given birth to illegitimately.

Anyways, her rival competitors were angry on how lucky she was to hit a jackpot. She killed the boss of a casino and actually an accomplice to the famous Albion group.

She was actually ready to defend herself in the court if any allegation was to be made against her, as she had already planted a camera.

The two ganged up against her in her house and tried gang raping her, only for her to resist and shot the duo, injuring their escorts and she hits a run after the whole incident.

She guessed right when the police brought her to the station. She hired a public lawyer for the case, handed the recorded video which served as a strong evidence against the casino’s second-in-command.

She was later discharged and she used the immediate opportunity to place her life savings on the stock market, knowing that the casino and Albion group’s stock were going to fall and that resulted to a big win for her as her income was increased dozen times.

Making such huge success, she started the business for four years and made it big. At then, I was six.

As mom’s rivals sent two mobs against I and my mom to kidnap me, as we were in the alley at that moment, then, the turn around cause took place.

The huge one wrestled against my mom as she ordered me to run, while the slender one cornered me.

Seeing the situation at hand, I recalled all the action scenes I had on my head and sneakily picked up a broken bottle that was laying on the floor.

I stood still emotionlessly and watched him come close. As he was close enough, I rolled behind him and stabbed his two calves, which got h to his knees, and then, I stabbed his neck multiple times.

His scream of agony alerted his partner but when his partner arrived to know what was happening, it was already too late as his partner was laying on the floor, dead.

He turned to me to only see me with his partner’s gun, and then, I shot the huge guy on his left lap. Falling onto his left knee, I rushed and stuck the heated muzzle into his open wound to cause him some pain.

He squeaked in pain but now held onto my neck to strangle me to death, but I was lucky to have my mom come to my rescue.

She used her two stilettos’ top pieces and rammed it into his skull twice, took the gun I had with me and shot him in the head.

The huge guy let go of me and dropped to the floor, dead. My mom took me into her arms and ran towards home, barefooted.

After that incident, she employed a butler and chief maid that were skilled in combats, both in melee and arsenals.

The butler, Sir Eric, escorts my mum while the chief maid, miss Angel, takes me to school. When I am back from school, miss Angel trains me while on the weekends, Sir Eric takes over.

When I started my first training with Sir Eric, he made me to promise him and make a decision to strive in order to get strong enough to protect those that I loved and cared for. On that day, I made my first life decision.

Years later, in middle school, when I was fourteen, we did have seniors that tried bullying us, I and few of my classmates, if I could remember well; Tiara, Sung Jin Wu, Stacy, Young and Natsumi were able to beat them all up.

We decided to form a gang in order to defend the weak and fight against bullies, both in our school and in rival schools and we named our gang, ‘The Dawn Gang’, but due to we had many admirers, fans and followers, we were dubbed, ‘The Dawn Empire’.

And as for my name, ‘GEORGE’, Stacy’s sister who loves watching drama named me that. We had lots of fun together, got our tattoos illegally, played as real gangsters and as well, dealt with other middle school gangs.

Well, that got me over confident as we faced off against the fallen Crown middle school of Rosetown City’s gang, Golden Crown gang. Due to my nickname which got into my head, I got carried away and accepted their challenge while not listening to my friends.

We did have the face-off but unfortunately for us, the golden crown tricked us and came with guns and started an open fire against us.

We lost Young and as well, the person who gave me my nickname, Stacy’s sister. The event did traumatized me and at that moment, I made my second Life decision while dumping out the first one; to live a low profiled, unnoticeable and ordinary life.

This got my mom to relocate and made me attend Vincestreet High. By surprise, Tiara’s orphanage relocated to Vincestreet district as well. Yes, she’s an orphan and we stumbled against each other in Vincestreet High.

Now, I’m showing off my skills and following my first life decision, because the one who planned to kill Abel, threatened me to keep shut or else, he goes after my mom.

Hearing about Ken’s death then got me sure that I had to catch him first before he goes after me.” Eugene explained.

“Uhm, E... Eugene, I think I have a confession to make.” Velma, hesitantly spoke up.

“Huh? What’s that?” Eugene asked in confusion.

“The Golden Crown Gang, now known as the Dirty Crowns Gang.............. I am an ex member.” As Velma replied, Eugene was suddenly thrown in shock and couldn’t believe his ears.
