Chapter 51: Reality
The colleague, looking at their fearful expressions and shaking legs, felt inner satisfaction and looked at both the beggars with manacing eyes and walked closer to the injured one first, as this was the only thing that could identify them because he had noticed now that these two are twin brothers, and this is his first time beating up twin, so it excites him even more.
Ava, seeing the soldier coming closer to her sister Isla, felt her heart tighten a little thinking of seeing her cheerful sister beat up this ruthless monster in front of him; she couldn't endure it and said in a pleading voice.
"Sir, please spare my brother; you can beat me up instead of him." Her eyes were a little teary at the end of the sentence.
The rude soldier, seeing that one of them talked without his command or permission, felt his authority was challenged, thinking to himself.
'At first, I had to endure the bitch command ordering him like a dog all the time, and he also didn't like the look on her face when she looked at him while ordering him as if he were some pest.'
It hurts his pride to get ordered by someone who had joined the military later than him, and she is a woman.
He couldn't do anything to her, knowing she was his team leader, and he was ashamed but couldn't beat her up in a fight. Now this weak little beggar is telling him how to do things, but he doesn't show his anger as he is very good at controlling himself; otherwise, he would have been beaten and punished by the bitch already.
But he can easily release all his frustration on these beggars, and no one would say anything as they are the ones who were trying to steal the food from the truck, so it was a perfect opportunity to enjoy himself as he had a creepy smile on his face and he was about to say something, but his voice was cut off by another voice.
"No, don't listen to my brother; instead, you can give me all the beating, and I can handle it "
Isla said while shaking, a lagging and fearful expression because the idea of seeing her always smart and intelligent sister getting beaten in front of her didn't sit right with her; she would take all the beating to not see her sister beaten in front of her.
The rude officer, seeing that his voice was cut off once again, was inraged at how these two little beggars were irritating him right by showing their brotherly love in front of him and thinking about the other one's first in this situation. But once he beat his brother in front of him, he excited him more and more, thinking of seeing the look on his face.
So with a wide creepy smile on his face, he said he accepted the injured one's offer, as he wanted the more composed beggar begging and crying for help when he beat the other one.
"Okay, I will listen to you little beggar, forgive you brother, and you will take all his beating, and it's decided even if you beg, I will not change this decision and nothing will stop me" while looking at Isla.
Isla felt a little terrified at first but remembered the times when she had to fight other kids in the slum, sometimes even she got many bruises from it, so she thought she could take six hits from the soldier.
She looked at him and noticed there was a large difference between the kids in the slums and the soldiers in front, but she didn't think he would beat a minor that hard as he was from the Tier 2 city; they should be more civilized than the lawless people here.
While Ava was hearing his words and seeing those creepy smiles on his face from time to time, she had a bad feeling in her heart, and she didn't think this psychopath who was playing with them from the start would have any good ideas.
But she knows she can't stop him from doing what he wants, listening to his words, and there is also the other officer who has in his hand a gun pointing at them without showing any emotion. Thinking to herself, she looked toward the other officer and said in a pleading voice.
"Sir, can you not forgive just this time? Let us go. We are just hungry and haven't eaten anything since yesterday. Because of that, we decided to steal the food as your last option."
The soldier looking at the little beggar even felt sympathy for them while he had decided to let them go, but this rude fucker is insisting on punishing these children, but he still doesn't want to argue because of these two, who are the ones who decided to steal food from the vehicle.
But he could at least try to convince his once to stop and just let go because he doesn't want to cause commotion just because of these little beggars and disturb the leader, as he said in a calm voice.
"Hey, why don't we just let go? They are not even adults, so we should just warn them and let them go this time." Still, he knows this fucker wouldn't listen to him, but it doesn't hurt to try at least once.
Ava and Isla, hearing the words of the other officer, felt very happy, hoping they would just let them get their time as they both looked toward the other soldier, waiting for his response, but seeing the unpleasant expression of the other officer, they knew the chance of them getting away without beating was slim to none.
But there was still hope in their eyes that by some miracle he would let them go, but their hopes were crushed when they heard his next words talking to the other officer.
"You fucker, don't try to be a good guy now; they are the ones who tried to steal from the truck, and they should be getting punished, and I am not breaking any laws, and this is not Tier 2 city. I can give them a little punishment, so just be quiet."
The soldier listening to his words couldn't refuse him, but one thing was clear: he didn't like this man in front of him one bit and thought to himself.
'If he went too far when pushing these kids, he wouldn't mind alerting all the other soldiers, even the leader.'
He doesn't know what's going to happen after that, but he believes it would still be much better than to leave the kid in these physio hands after seeing those creepy smiles earlier.
"Okay, but don't go too far. Don't think I didn't warn you before," he said, looking directly into the other soldier's eyes, but he still believed it was much better to give light slaps and let them go without alerting the leader; he hoped this fucker would have some brain and doesn't push him enough to alert the others.
The rude soldier hearing his threat doesn't take him seriously, as the worst he can do would physically stop him, and he doesn't think he would alert other soldiers because of these beggars, so he is excited to have fun playing with these twin beggars.
Ava and Isla were disappointed hearing that, but they felt relieved knowing that one of the officers was kind enough to not let them get hurt too much in his presence by the soldier in front of them, who had a creepy smile on his face.
The rude soldier doesn't waste any time and stands face-to-face with Isla; he is bigger than them, so it makes it more scary for Isla; she has already tightened her muscles in her face to receive a punch or slap on her face, feeling scared.
The soldier felt satisfied seeing him like that, but he already had a different plan for the beating, before starting, he brought his mouth closer to the beggar's ear and whispered something in her ears, which made Isla even more terrified and determined to take the beating without making too much noise.
The rude soldier didn't waste any time and started stretching his hand, indicating he was going to start, and Isla was also ready for it, but suddenly with a creepy smile on his face, he raised his foot and kicked hard, not using full force but definitely not something that could be used on a minor, and his military shoes made it even worse on her bare foot, which was already injured due to the pointy rock earlier.
Isla, who was not expecting a kick on her foot that was already injured, almost screamed, but she had not forgotten the word he had said to her earlier in her ears, so she gritted her teeth together as only a painful groan escaped her mouth, but she couldn't stop herself from crying as tears started to leak out of her eyes.
ugh sob ugh sob ugh
And she started sobbing silently. Only a little painful cry escaped her mouth while sobbing, which she still couldn't control, but it was still not enough to alert others.
Ava saw the physio kicking her sister, where she had already hurt before, and they also didn't have any shoes, so she knew it was very severe for her, and seeing a layer of skin had come off of her feet and blood was leaking out of her foot, she just wanted to run there and hug her sister, who had endured the kick by only making some painful grunts and crying to herself.
Her heart ached very seeing her like that, as tears also started to leak out of her eyes, and her eyes were completely red right now looking at the physio, who had inflicted pain on her sister. Never in her life has she felt this angry toward someone.
In her plan, she doesn't think the soldier would be this cruel toward them, even seeing that they are still minors. She knows she couldn't do anything to him, but she really wanted to fight the asshole who had hurt her sister, even knowing she would get beaten, but she didn't do it, knowing that it would make things even worse for them.
