"You lusting little of piece shit! How dare you to have a relationship with the girl my son has taken liking on?" A middle aged man wearing a black rimmed eye glass was beating a young man until his was bloodied and wriggling in pain. This pitiful young man is Vash.
Punch, kick, and being hit by a baseball bat, he received it all. This is no longer a way to discipline but an abuse!
In a corner of the room, a young man was happily watching the show, looking extremely pleased seeing the young man being beaten up so badly.
"Stop! Your about to kill him!" A middle aged woman warned the man beating up the young man, pulling his arm to stop him from hitting the young man more.
"What if I kill him!? He's nothing but a good for nothing! If he died, no one would care." The middle aged man roared, mocking the young man's dead parents while he stump over him. "It's better if he also died in that accident so I don't have to deal with this piece of garbage."
His words seems like a sharp sword piercing through his heart, hurts more than the beating he just received for no reason.
'This bastard of family is just beating me up for every little thing, they even use my relationship with a girl as an excuse to beat me up greatly, they just want me to die! They are doing this to break me and put me in their control so that they could continue enjoying the inheritance left by my parents' Vash internally commented.
"Hey there Jacob! We already took full control of their wealth now right? So what's the problem of taking care of their useless son as a payback?" The middle aged woman replied with a mocking smile.
"Don't you know that he could receive it all back when he come of the right age! Think! He's going to take our money when the time comes!" The middle aged man sneered, making the woman realize the legal loophole.
"That's a huge problem indeed..." The woman glanced at Vash coldly, expression like she just saw a unforgivable enemy.
"Hey! Look at me you little fucker! I want you to break up with that girl and do everything I, my wife and son say! Got it!?" The man stared with warning gaze, trying to intimidate him into submission, but Vash just stared at him with indifferent eyes, no emotion, this infuriates him.
"You f*cking bastard! You never learn to listen huh!" The man pulled out his belt hastily, wanting to teach this son of a b*tch a lesson he would forever remember.
"I WANT YOU LITTLE PARASITIC ANIMAL, TO CRAWL IF I SAY SO! OR YOU COULD JUST DIE LIKE YOUR USELESS ROTTING PARENTS!!!"
Vash when he heard that, he instantly felt this uncontrollable rage, he can accept being mocked and insulted but his doing that to his parents? You've crossed the line!
Vash face turned dark with eyes showing killing intent, then...
He moved.
He dodged the belt that was swung at him at great speed before he swiftly picked up the bloodied bat on the floor, his body twisting to propel a great force.
He then swung his bat towards the middle aged man in fit of blacken FURY!
Baam!
The sound of flesh being hit reverberated in the whole house as Vash bashed the middle aged man over his jaw.
In slow motion, you could see his face caving in before his bloodied jaw got detached from his face.
This person that could not use his mouth to speak properly, doesn't need to have one.
"Uhhhhh!!!"
He screamed in extreme terror as he saw his jaw flew away from him, while the middle aged woman and their son was so shocked and scared at this scene, that they froze in place, couldn't muster to speak or do anything.
They can't comprehend how this seemingly nice introvert guy, would suddenly become crazy.
Sometime later, the police and paramedics came and was greatly shocked at what they have seen.
...
2 years later.
Vash was rolling around his small bed in his rented apartment, he then look at the dark ceiling, his mind preoccupied.
"It's been a year... I'm 19 now, how fast the time flies." Vash muttered, he remembered what happened on this same day last year. This is the day he scared out the hell of that bastard family that used him before, it was also that same day that turn his life upside down.
Later that they, paramedics were called at the scene to take that bastard man away and he was taken into the police for investigation for his crime.
He was questioned and was treated like a criminal, he tell them everything, the abuse, how much he suffered over these years his parents was gone, how they planned to get him into control for his inheritance, and how he unconsciously attack him to protect himself.
The police officers has taken pity on him and release him with some money. He returned at his large house alone, now no one was there to nag or hurt him.
Life become better than before, albeit he live very poorly because of lack of financial he was still happy, but unfortunately this time didn't last long.
Later, when the bastard man has gotten surgery for his jaw and his shameless family, they immediately taken Vash to court.
This event eventually become the hot topic of the entire country because of it's absurdity, some on Vash side with others where on the bastard family side.
The two sides fought in court with Vash being defended with court attended lawyer, but the law goes very easy and favored with minors especially when it's an act of self defense.
No matter how much this bastard family appealed to the court, no matter how much they bribed, they're slowly losing the case. No matter how much corrupt the officials are, when the whole country were watching the case, they can only act like righteous man that followed the law.
And in short amount of time, the verdict was passed.
Vash has won the case. He was declared to have no criminal liability but he still got a four month of rehabilitation, but because of good behavior he can go home early.
Time then passed like a raging river, both fast and slow but unstoppable. Vash tried to live like a normal person, but found out that he can't.
He sold the house where his happiness and nightmare has started, and start off a new life in a new place, leaving everything behind including his relationship. He couldn't face her, it's unknown whether it's because he was afraid, embarrassed, or something else.
Currently he was receiving huge amount of investment dividends and business profits from inheritance, but he chooses to reinvested it all back to the market, leaving only enough money to support himself. It was shocking for a teenager to have this kind of mindset to not be a spentdrift like a typical second generation, and in the other hand he showed strong potential in both business and investment sector, showing he was a genius just like his parents.
He was never been poor to begin with, but his guardian turned him one. His parents were successful business owners and investors with millions in dividends alone. That's a astronomical amount of money for ordinary people, that's why his guardian went crazy for his inheritance, to the point of almost killing him.
Now, he was living a modest life. No one knows who he was, what he accomplished nor his millions of assets rolling in the country. He's silent, always alone, indifferent to anybody, making it very difficult for him to make friends. He a typical introvert guy in college. An existence that was there but society treat were not.
"Seems like I'm destined to be alone in this life." Vash commented as he continue staring at dark ceiling, felling a bit down. He could understand why he was like this, an invisible existence, but has no strength to change it.
He was silenced by his own mind, a prisoner of non existent cell but more powerful than the physical one.
