Chapter 2 - The Mccray Downfall

"you have made mother worried there, with the state she is in, if you continue to come home covered in wounds then it won't be long before she passes away," said Hannah after their mother walked out.

" How Can I leave you behind and let those good-for-nothing bullies treat you the way they want" replied Jason as he put his head down feeling somehow disappointed in himself.

" big brother, they would have let me go after saying a few words, so please don't get yourself in trouble next time because of me okay," said Hannah.

" it all because we are not from the fox family which is why we are been treated that way like an outcast" replied Jason.

" then if you want them to change the way they see us, then you will have to prove it to them with your fist," said Clara as she walks back into the tent.

" how am I supposed to prove anything to them when I don't have resources to support my training" replied Jason

"Which is why you are going to need this, I believe with this, you will be able to get some ginseng from the market even if they are of the lower grade, it should be enough to speed your training progress a little if I am not mistaking," said Clara as she brought out a small sack that is filled with spirit stone.

" mother that money is for your treatment why give it to big brother" Hannah hastily said before quieting down.

" it is already wasteful of me to spend all this money in treating my illness when knowing full well that I can't be cured of this illness, not even the physician will be able to find the cure to my illness, so why not spend them all in getting you resources for your training" replied Clara as she shook her head.

" Please don't say that mother, I believe that your illness can be Cure, all we need is just enough money to get a physician to check your health," said Jason been moved by his mother's action.

Ignoring Jason's words, Clara walk out again but before leaving, she turned to Jason and said.

" is better you go get yourself those ginseng and begin your training".

Watching their mother in pain as she struggles to walk out, Hannah couldn't stop her tears from flowing out.

" come on little sister stop cry, your elder brother promise to train hard, and when the time is right. I will find a way to cure mother of her illness, so until then we will have to take good care of her" Jason said softly as he pinches her cheek.

" I believe in you big brother so don't let mother and me down okay, and since mother could give you all those money shows she also believe you will become a great man in the future" replied Hannah softly as she begins to wipe her face clean of tears

" little sister I heard from the attendance that the number of people that are allowing for the job is much, I just hope I would be selected and get to work for the fox family. Only then will I be about to purchase some herbs for myself that will aid me in my training and then get some pills that will relieve her of the pain she is going through" said Ray.

Hannah could only shake her head as she heard the word that Jason said.

" There is no way the fox family is going to let strangers like us in when they have a lot of family servants applying for the same job, so I advise that big brother should just forget about getting the job" replied Hannah with a sign before walking out of the room.

watching the back of his little sister as she walks out of the room, Jason's hand were already cleaned together in a fist as he said. " just you saw, I am going to get the job weather the world like it or not"

Seeing his mother in pain always reminds him of how their family was. Massacre overnight with their father losing his life as he tried to protect his family while they Escape and that is how their mother gains the illness after losing her husband in the invasion. And that's how they begin to roam around in search of shelter where they would be out from their enemy's reach.

All this while that they have been staying in the fox family territory, Jason has been trying to get news about the family that attacks his family but was not able to come up with anything until eventually one day when he was passing by an elderly man who seen to be an outsider called to his friends.

" I heard that the cain family was responsible for the elimination of the Mccray family due to the fact they have a misunderstanding," said the elderly man.

That night when Jason got home, told his mother what he heard outside and wanted to know if it is true that the cain family were the ones that attack then only for his mother to say she don't know if they were involved in the elimination but one thing she remembered was that the day before the attack, their family head disagreed with the cain family head.

Not knowing if the cain family is involved in the elimination, Jason decided to focus more on his training as he wants to be stronger so that he can avenge his clan.

Taking the sack of spirit stone, Jason head to the market to purchase the ginseng his mother requested him to buy since it will be very using in his training. After purchasing five low-grade ginseng, Jason was left with no more spirit stone to purchase anymore ginseng and decided to head back home where he will have to brew the ginseng for consumption.. And while trying to head back to their tent, Jason did his best to avoid running into Andrew and his group since he had not recovered from the previous beat down, taking another beat down could only lead to his early death.
