Chapter 169 - The mysterious competition

Six years ago.

Outskirts of Liverpool.

" Firm focus Janet." Andrew Aaron Brown shouted.

Sweating and trying very hard to catch her breath, 19year old Janet said," I can't."

Throwing his sword towards her, Andrew smiled.

Janet quickly dodged the sword the shouted," Are you mad dad?" 

Rushing towards his daughter, Andrew have Janet a hug and said," I knew that you would successfully dodge it."

Hugging her father back, Janet said," You scared me but I don't understand, why do I have to learn all this?" 

It has been five years since Andrew Brown has been teaching Janet all kinds of tricks and fighting skills, from sword fight to how to use a gun. Nobody knew why and whenever asked, he would say," You'll know when the right time comes."

" Dad you called me?" A young man asked.

" Why didn't you come for practice today?" Andrew asked his son Mathew Brown who was four years older to Janet.

" I was having a headache." Mathew said.

Andrew fronwed and said," Thirty rounds of the field tomorrow at 4am." before walking inside the mansion.

Walking towards her brother, Janet said," You know he can be super strict at times" 

Mathew sighed and said," I don't understand why he loves torturing us like this."

Hugging her brother, Janet said," I'll run with you tomorrow morning." 

Mathew chuckled and said," I don't wanna get thrashed by making his favourite daughter run along with me." 

" But you are my favourite so I'll run with you brother." Janet said.

Mathew smiled and patted Janet's head.

Janet was very close to her father and her big Brother Mathew Brown who was studying business management but was forced to drop out in the second years because his father wanted to train him for some stupid competition.

Mathew wanted to start his own business and had no interest in his father's dirty businesses. But whenever he tried to voice out his thoughts, he would be silenced by his father saying that his ideas were stupid and he would never succeed.

Days passed by and Andrew kept on training Mathew and Janet for a mysterious competition.

Janet who was supposed to return back to her college was stopped by their father saying that she was not allowed to go back for a month. 

Even when Janet told him that she had her internals in a few days which were important, Andrew did not buzz and said," That the preparation for the competition was important and you are not ready yet."

One day when Mathew was returning back to his room, he overheard his father's conversation with his friend, Mr Yugen who would frequently visit them.

" You know what you are pushing your kids into right?" Mr Yugen asked.

Andrew smiled and said," Yes I know."

" You still have time, you can still withdraw their names." Mr Yugen said.

" There is no need for that." Andrew said.

" It's fatal Andrew. There is a high chance that you'll lose both your kids in this." Mr Yugen said.

" What is the use of them staying alive when they cannot make their father proud?" Andrew asked.

Mathew eyes teared up when he heard this. How could a father say something like that? Is that competition so important that she is willing to lose both his kids for it? 

There was no way Mathew would let his sister and himself get sacrificed for this selfish man.

He then gathered all his courage and decided to confront his father.

…..

Present.

Ron who had been listening to everything intensely, asked," What happened after that?"

Amy shook her head and said," I don't know, I was small so I have no idea."

" Then how do you know about this?" Ron asked.

" Housekeeper Kailos told me about this but when I asked further, he refused to tell me. No one in the mansion told me what happened after that. But all I know is that I never saw brother Mathew and even sister Janet left the mansion forever." Amy said.

" What about your mother?" Rocky asked.

Amy smiled and said," My mother only listens to dad. Whatever my dad says is like a verdict or a law for her. Though everyone says that Father killed big brother but never did once mom asked dad about him or tried to look for big brother Mathew and that is why sister Janet hates mom too. I don't like her either." 

Rocky sighed and said," I never thought your family was so complicated."

" Brother-in-law?" Amy said.

" Hmm." 

" If sister Jan ever tells you the full story, will you tell me? I also want to know what happened." Amy said.

Rocky nodded his head and said," I will but I don't want to force your sister to tell me anything." 

Amy smiled and said," I understand. You care about sister Jan so much and you are also taking care of me. Thank you so much."

Patting her head, Rocky said," Silly, you are like my little sister."

" And you remind me of big brother Mathew a lot." Amy said.

….

Brown mansion.

Throwing his head back, Andrew let out a hearty laugh after reading the article about Jacob Wilson.

" This daughter of mine never fails to make me proud." Andrew said.

" Rocky is his nickname. His real name is Jacob Wilson and he is the sole heir of Wilson enterprise." Markus said clenching his hand into a fist.

" No wonder she could pay such a big amount in such a short period of time." Andrew said.

" Now what sir?" Markus asked.

" Now? Nothing, we let them have fun while they can. What did they say?" Andrew asked.

" They are still looking for her." Markus said.

" Tch Tch so slow." Andrew said.

" Sir but do you think Jan- I mean young madam will agree?" Markus asked.

" If she doesn't, then we will make her agree." Andrew said.

" It is going to tough sir." Markus said.

Andrew chuckled and said," If it isn't tough, where is the fun right?"
