The Villainous Cruz Family - Chapter 9

“Victoria, why don’t you have any friends?” Albert asked as he bit into his sandwich.

Victoria pinched his tighs and angriliy responded. “How rude! I do have friends you know? You saw them yourself.”

Albert recounted his experience in school these past few weeks. It was true that Victoria was surrounded by many groups of people. They also seemed to adore her but were more like subordinates than friends? None of them ate lunch with her and only Albert would accompany her all day.

“Why don’t you invite them to eat together?” Albert inquired. He would also like to run around on the oval or play board games at lunch, not just be Victoria’s servant.

“It’s too exhausting pretending all the time.” Victoria sighed.

“That’s your problem, Victoria. Who told you to pretend to be an angel, huh?” Albert retorted.

“Humph, you’re also acting so don’t be a hypocrite.” Victoria exposed. “Always smiling all the time and pretending to be nice, who do you think you are?”

“Wha- I’m not pretending!” Albert protested. “It’s normal to smile back when others smile at you. Also, if you’re nice and gentle to them, they’ll agree to your requests and put up with you more.”

“See? You’re exactly like me, makes me wonder if you’re really adopted.”

Albert grumbled to himself, realising that he didn’t have a comeback to that.

Meanwhile, Victoria sighed to herself, wondering how in the world she had corrupted Albert in such a short amount of time. When she first met him, he wasn’t demanding, talkative, expressive, and generally went along with the flow and all her antics. Now, he wasn’t so easily convinced, would frequently argue with her and even became a little black bellied. How had he transformed in just a few months? Was this his original personality?

“Anyways, starting from tomorrow, we’re going to play with friends. Being with you all the time is boring.” Albert declared.

“That’s so rude.” Victoria pouted but she didn’t refuse.

Then, the next day, Albert asked the group that was always playing board games in the classroom if they could join in. Of course, they very generously agreed.

“Do you wanna hang after school too? We’re going to get some fish and chips.” One of them suggested.

Albert glanced at Victoria for her opinion and she had unexpectedly agreed. “Sure, we’d love to.”

Thus, after school, Victoria called Cain on her phone and told him not to pick them up. Then, the siblings joined their new friends and went to the city to play for a bit.

“Wasn’t that fun, Victoria?” Albert asked with a smile.

“I guess.” Victoria answered.

As they walked home in the evening, they heard grunting and crying in a dark alleyway close by. Curiously, Albert looked to the side and stopped walking, Victoria naturally followed suit. Then, a scene that Albert never wanted to see in his life was shown to him. Three grown men, butt naked, poor lady on the ground, clothes torn off, crying for her life.

“Hey, Albert, is this what I think it is?” Victoria inquired, hearing the suspicious moans and cries going on in the background.

“Uh, I think so? I, I didn’t know there were so many places you could put your thing in…” Albert commented.

“Eww, get that image out of my head.” Victoria punched Albert out of disgust.

“Well, did you think I wanted to see this? C’mon, we should get out of here before they notice us.” The two didn’t intend to get involved and got ready to leave.

However, before the two could escape, the victim noticed them and cried out for help. She mustered her strength and pushed one of her assailants off of her once again. “Y-you two! Please don’t go…”

The three rapists turned around and found Victoria and Albert standing and watching them, speechless. Instantly, the two turned to run but Albert didn’t have much stamina and Victoria couldn’t see, making it rather hard to run.

“Chase after them!” One rapist commanded.

“O-okay!” Another responded and put his pants back on, cursing that his good time was interrupted by two meddlesome brats. His eyes glowed and with his speed ability, he very quickly caught up to the two despite their head start. Meanwhile, the other two assholes were still going at it like animals who only thought with their lower half.

“Stop chasing us! We won’t tell anyone what we saw!” Albert yelled, huffing and puffing.

“Y-yeah.” Victoria chimed, also out of breath.

“And how do I know that?” The rapist said, cornering the two.

Albert tched, “She can’t even see and no one is going to believe us anyways.”

Mr Rapist glanced over at Victoria and smirked. “Hoh? You’re pretty cute.” He grabbed her face with his hands and gave it a little squeeze as he examined her.

“Eww, get your filthy hands off of me!” Victoria slapped the assholes hand away and wiped her face with disgust.

Mr Rapist rubbed her sore hands and stared at Victoria with rage. “Filthy you say? That’s a rather course mouth you have.”

Slap! The rapist’s hand went across Victoria’s cheeks and a loud sound resounded. Victoria glared at the offender but he couldn’t see that through her bandages.

“What do you think you’re doing to my sister?!” Albert roared, raising his feet and kicking the rapist’s groin. It proved extremely effective so Albert did it a few more times. When the rapist was down on the ground from pain, Victoria also joined in on the fun.

“Let’s go.” Albert grabbed Victoria’s hand and ran away once more. The two ran, aiming for somewhere that was more brightly lit and hoping to buy some time so that they could call for help.

“F*cken brats!” Mr Rapist cursed and used his ability once more to chase after them after he had recovered to some extent. He endured the excruciating pain and slowly but surely caught up to the two once more.

Then, as predicted, the two siblings were cornered again. Sighing, Albert wondered why he felt like the whole situation was familiar to him. Had he experienced something similar before?

“I’m not letting you cunts go this time.” Mr Rapist declared, growling with murderous intent.

“I’d advise you to leave us alone.” Victoria calmly said once she caught her breath. “Our family always tracks where we are and they definitely won’t let you off the hook if you so much as touch a single hair on our heads.”

“Yeah! They’re on their way right now!” Albert chimed, trying to support Victoria’s threat.

Unexpectedly, Mr Rapist was unfazed. “Our Boss is the biggest villain around, what can your puny little family do to us?”

Ah? Biggest villain around? Victoria was irked. Her father was the biggest villain in the country, how could this low life make such a claim? “What does a boss that employs trash like you amount to? You don’t even qualify as a villain, maybe a goon, but villain? Pft, not in a thousand years.”

“Don’t be rude, Victoria.” Albert scolded just as the rapist was about to pounce in anger. “Even goons are better than this. He is at most those nameless and faceless sandbags in movies that only serve to make the hero look awesome. And people who employ such sandbags are trash that even heroes don’t care about.”

Victoria stared(?) blankly at Albert before chuckling with mirth. “Right, I’m sorry, Mr Sandbag. I overestimated your worth didn’t I?”

“I’ve had enough of you!” Mr Sandbag roared. He rushed towards the two, swinging his arm in preparation to beat them up. Albert watched the incoming fist anxiously, shielding Victoria behind his back.

‘Any moment now…’ He thought to himself, feeling the phone in his pocket that was still connected to a call to Kin.
