Clyden Xairen

But the woman didn't care, she continued, "I-If you're going to take him away you'll have to pay me!! I was the one who raised him!! When you never cared!!"

Clyden frowned and scoffed at her words, "Are you sure? When you left the house, Father gave you more than enough money to atleast live well for the rest of your lives, yet you just flushed every single penny unto gambling and luxuries. And don't even get me started on how you took care of him when you clearly didn't. It was the neighbors that Father paid to take care of him..."

The woman stayed silent in embarrassment as the people around stared at her in disgust.

The ill Harris beside Clyden had his eyes wide open. He remembered when he was a child that a guy in a suit would come and visit his nextdoor neighbor, Aunt Lu, once a month and every time after his visit, Aunt Lu would give him some money with the phrase, "Keep this for yourself. Don't tell your mom alright? It's our little secret."

Instead of feeling of happy that his father cared. Harris felt dejected knowing that Aunt Lu was only kind to him because of his father. His complexion darkened at the thought of this, and Clyden noticed.

Clyden shook his head and motioned Jungkook to get inside the car.

Once inside, Harris' head hanged low. Clyden wasn't sure if it's because of his fever, awkwardness, or dejection and was confused and so he asked, "What's wrong?"

Instead of answering, Harris just shook his head lower.

"You can say or ask anything you want... As long as the family is capable of." Clyden stated trying to comfort the dejected man.

And it worked. Hearing this Harris raised his head and Clyden was finally able to see his tear stained face clearly and some tears about to fall from his eyes.

"Did Aunt Lu actually just take care of me because your father..." Harris didn't and couldn't dare to continue.

Stunned, Clyden laughed gently covering his mouth with his hand, "Oh, Dad was about to pay her... But she rejected the money and said to let dad just take you away as you would be better off... But since father also had problems, he couldn't bring you back and so she volunteered to take care of you with no pay. But father didn't want to use her money as he is still your parent and so they came with a deal to send money every month and then she would pass it on to you."

Clyden paused then looked at Harris thoughtfully, "You better?"

Harris sniffed then laughed awkwardly, "Is that so... Haha... You're the one comforting me. It's embarrassing..."

"Captain!" A tall man saluted.

Harris stopped in his tracks, and frowned as his recollection was abrupted. He lightly glanced at the tall man.

The tall man noticed this and lowered his head in cower. 'Damnit! The Captain was in a good mood and I just had to speak!' He thought to himself at he started to get ready for his funeral.

"You will not be given food for three days." Harris uttered silently. His eyes not leaving the tall man, "Well unless you want to be the first alpha cumdump."

The tall man shivered at the sound of this, "I- I also think that I need a diet Captain. So not receiving food for three days is good for me..."

"Mn." Harris turned around and continued walking.

The tall man who was left alone dumbfounded and scared was praising all the gods in his heart. He thought that he'd die today. Who knew that the captain was in a very good mood to even let him out of the death sentence. Thank the Heavens!

.............

Harris finally reached, a tall gate was in front of him and at the other side of the gate are 5 rows, each row has 10 people, these will be the groups going hunting for this week.

Each person carrying what they're special at, some that are good at close combat use daggers, some use injections, some use snipers. They all vary, but one thing is for sure they studied body anatomy greatly.

If one is to hunt, then one must make sure not to kill the prey immediately, as it may take weeks to reach home and the flesh may decay on the way. What's more fresher than food that's still alive.

Once they set out, there are only two possibilities. One is that they come back in one piece and be able to live, while the latter is... They become someone's dinner.

They either be the hunter or the hunted.

Harris pushed the gate open and stared at the group for a while. He casually went to the 7th row and said, "Let's head out."

Being the only person not carrying a gun or even a knife, Harris stood out a lot.

A teen boy in the bulky man's team was confused and asked, "Hey Sid, Why isn't captain bringing anything with him?"

Sid remained silent but a trace of fear can ve been in his eyes.

"This is your first time hunting right?"
