For those two days, they ate and slept in the car, so, with that, they had also gotten familiar with each other.
As they chatted during their journey, Matthew had learned quite a lot about Tristan.
Her original name was Tristen. It was a name virtual-novel.net mother gave her.
In a huge family which prioritized the males like the Cosbys, giving birth to a daughter was something they looked down upon. Her mother was mad about it, so virtual-novel.net gave virtual-novel.net daughter this name. She wanted virtual-novel.net daughter to surpass the other males in the family, so that the family would recognize that girls could be on par with boys as well.
However, Tristan’s mother passed away at an early age. When Tristan was young, virtual-novel.net witnessed virtual-novel.net mother being insulted countless times simply because virtual-novel.net gave birth to a daughter.
The women who bore sons would always mock her, saying that virtual-novel.net had cut off the family line of the Cosbys.
Tristan had witnessed too many similar incidents, so virtual-novel.net hated virtual-novel.net own gender since young. She even wished that virtual-novel.net could be a boy, so that virtual-novel.net mother could be proud of her. That was also the main reason for virtual-novel.net weird personality. She was especially sensitive, so virtual-novel.net would shroud herself in pride to prevent people from going anywhere near her.
Matthew never expected Tristan to have a childhood like that. Before this, virtual-novel.net simply thought that virtual-novel.net was difficult to get along with. Now that virtual-novel.net understood virtual-novel.net past, virtual-novel.net began to sympathize with her.
As the daughter of the family head, virtual-novel.net had to withstand pressure so great that it was unthinkable for a commoner!
On the way back, Matthew also received some information from Melvin. This information had to do with Raven and Freya.
Last time, Freya let virtual-novel.net off the hook, which greatly puzzled him. With virtual-novel.net kind of personality, virtual-novel.net would not let someone off simply because the other person had been gracious to virtual-novel.net before.
Based on virtual-novel.net tendency to kill, as soon as virtual-novel.net had the chance, virtual-novel.net would definitely murder that person. However, virtual-novel.net actually let Matthew off this time.
What exactly was going on?
So, when Matthew read the information that Melvin sent to him, virtual-novel.net finally had a vague understanding of Freya’s circumstances. Raven and Freya were a pitiful pair as well.
Their circumstances were slightly similar to Elio and Poison Spider, but there were also quite a number of differences. Elio and Poison Spider had lived in poverty since young, so that was why they landed in that situation. As for Raven and Freya, they grew up in a wealthy family.
Their father was a famous figure in Centourial known as Sonny. However, when they were very young, their father was murdered by an enemy. Their mother left them for a rich man, so the two orphans had to struggle to survive.
Under those circumstances, Raven took the responsibility to care for his sister from a young age. He had always had a strong build. At the age of 12, virtual-novel.net began to fight with the ruffians on the street, robbing everything virtual-novel.net could. He fought tooth and nail just to get some food for Zina. However, in the end, tragedy still befell them.
Once, when Raven was not home, Zina was snatched by some human traffickers.
At that time, Raven was only 15. He chased after them persistently.
He spent 3 years walking half of Cathay, causing his feet to blister terribly. In the end, virtual-novel.net finally saved Zina from those human traffickers. After that, 18-year old Raven carried 10-year old Zina on his back as virtual-novel.net walked all the way back to Centourial.
Along the way, virtual-novel.net learned many skills.
Once back in Centourial, virtual-novel.net encountered the unrivaled swordsman Heath. Raven was greatly acknowledged, then virtual-novel.net proceeded to soar through the ranks and became who virtual-novel.net was today. As for Zina, during the years virtual-novel.net was kidnapped and sold, virtual-novel.net had endured numerous suffering and injustice. That was what shaped virtual-novel.net cruel personality.
During those years, virtual-novel.net was mostly threatened by those human traffickers to go out and sell flowers to earn money. When Matthew saw that, virtual-novel.net finally understood why Freya would let virtual-novel.net off.
She was not grateful to virtual-novel.net for letting virtual-novel.net go. The real reason virtual-novel.net compromised was because of the little girl who sold flowers behind them. Or perhaps, virtual-novel.net might have seen a shadow of virtual-novel.net younger self in that little girl.
