"I will be joining the war and will see blood, anyway," Kimmy said. "And I want the first one to be that bastard's."
Kimmy decided to join the war in order to gain more contribution points. She really needed to save up as much as she could for her child.
With the exception of children who awakened their system on their own in Terran—like Maya and Horus—the status of children between 3 and below 12 years old were with their parents. Below that age was nothing, and they were not listed in the Lord's panel either.
According to Gregor, this was likely because children below that age had a very high mortality rate.
The Extreme Weather cases that happened every one or two years, for example, tended to take a lot of infant lives even in Towns—let alone villages. Considering how most children were born in 'weaker' families, this depressing percentage was increased a bit more.
Kimmy's child, Hope, was still a visitor, the fees of which were automatically deducted to her wallet.
Kimmy herself was only a temporary resident. This meant she also needed to gain contribution points for two in order to get permanent residencies for both of them. The best way to do that was through wars.
Her first official war being with Basset Town also felt… poetic. After all, she would help take down the territory that enabled Patte to do all those evil deeds in the first place.
Soon, the group arrived outside his cell and saw what had been a man. Now, he looked like a disgusting monster.
He was full of wounds and scars all over, some of which were festering and filled with pus. He no longer hand most of his fingers, toes, and teeth, making him completely unrecognizable from the shameless bastard they first knew him as.
Patte weakly raised his head and his eyes turned red as he saw them.
"BITCHH! I WILL KILL YOU!! BITCHHH!" he screeched with his bloody mouth, cursing at her like he usually did when she was around. However, he was even more desperate this time, as if his life depended on it.
"COME HERE! HOW DARE YOU DO THIS TO ME!? TO ME?!"
Then he paused, looking at her with extreme manicness. "You—you are just a slut I took in front of other people! You think people will forget how disgusting you were by doing this to me!?"
Kimmy flinched and Yelena sobbed. Luis gritted his teeth and stepped forward to punch the bastard right on the face.
PAK!
It seemed like his jaw was dislocated, because he could barely say anything understandable after all.
However, Patte did not give up. His crazy eyes were fixed on Kimmy in particular, yelling at her—spitting saliva—despite no one understanding his words.
Patte was trying to make her mad. Before, she and Yelena would watch as he was tortured without lifting a hand, with Yelena slowly getting used to the violence.
It seemed like today, he wanted her to make a move.
He definitely wanted to vent, but perhaps he also wanted to anger her to attack.
Perhaps, he wanted to take her with him. Knowing him, he probably did. As for what he could do at his state, who knew, but they weren't taking any risks.
Luis stepped forward and drove his feet into the man's chest, sending him smack to the wall.
BANG!
Without another breath, he closed the distance again and unleashed a few more kicks. The final blow crushed his leg—just in case.
"AHHHHH!"
