Chapter 138: Victim

Ye Yang couldn't shake the feeling of déjà vu, a sense of familiarity that nagged at him.

As he studied the woman before him, a question formed on his lips, "Are you Ho Sian's sister?" The story of young woman and the things he heard about Ho Sian seemed to be identical.

A look of surprise flashed across her face. "You know my brother?" she inquired, her voice filled with wonder.

Ye Yang shook his head, "No, I didn't know him personally. But I know his story, or rather, your family's story."

A doubt crept into his mind, "How long have you been training under the Training Head?" he asked, his tone cautious.

A sombre tone filled her voice as she replied, "Six months. He came to our home, offering to help my mother and us. That's when he started training my brother and me."

Ye Yang pondered, his mind racing. "In just six months, how could you have attained such a high level of swordsmanship?" he questioned, recalling the grace and precision of her movements during their earlier encounter.

A mournful sigh escaped her lips as she recounted her family's history. "My father was once a renowned swordsman in Ye City, the former lord of the Escort Agency. But during a fateful night, while returning from a mission, he was attacked by a group of bandits and... and he perished." Her voice trailed off, her eyes misting over with tears.

"It was he who taught my brother and me, guiding us on our path of cultivation and swordsmanship. Our progress was swift until that tragic night shattered our lives."

A daring thought struck Ye Yang. "Have you ever considered the possibility that your father's death wasn't a random act of banditry, but a calculated murder?" he asked, his voice steady.

She nodded slowly, her eyes filled with a mixture of sorrow and doubt. "Yes, I've pondered that as well. But who could have wanted to harm him? Father had no known enemies, no one who would benefit from his demise."

Ye Yang's voice hardened as he offered a grim answer, "The only person I can think of is the Training Head. Doesn't it seem suspicious?"

Ye Yang's accusation hung heavy in the air, a dark cloud looming over the woman's fragile hope. She stared at him, her mind racing, trying to reconcile The thought of Training Head behind her father's demise.

"though I had doubt but why would he do such a thing?" she questioned, her voice barely a whisper.

Ye Yang's gaze hardened. "Power, lust, it can be anything Or perhaps he had a personal grudge against your father. Either way, it's clear that he's not the benevolent figure he pretends to be."

Ye Yang's words hung heavy in the air, a chilling reminder of the darkness that lurked beneath the Training Head's facade. The woman, Mei, shuddered as she thought about her mother, a once vibrant and strong woman, now reduced to a submissive shadow of her former self.

"What he did to your mother, and what he plans to do with you, reveals the true nature of the man," Ye Yang continued, his voice filled with both anger and sorrow. "Your mother, spending so much time with him, must have been aware of his sinister intentions. Her submission is likely a desperate attempt to protect her children from his wrath."

Mei's expression turned grim, her eyes filled with a mix of fear and determination. "But how can we prove it?" she asked, her voice barely a whisper.

Ye Yang's gaze met hers, unwavering. "We'll find out that, but first, let's get out of here," he said, his voice low and urgent. With that, they turned and headed towards the Escort Agency, their destination being Barad's residence.

They had already arranged to meet, so Ye Yang took a back route and entered the residential part of the building, where Barad and Dan Ya lived.

As he approached their door, a sense of anticipation filled him. He knew that Barad would be able to provide valuable insights and assistance in their quest to expose the Training Head's true nature.

Seeing Ye Yang and the young woman, who had previously attacked him at the Escort Agency, Barad's eyes narrowed in confusion and suspicion. "What is she doing here with you?" he demanded, his voice sharp and his gaze fixed on the woman.

"Uncle Barad, wait!" Ye Yang interjected, his voice calm but firm. He took a seat, glancing at Dan Ya's worried face. "Aunt Ya, things aren't as they seem. She seems to be a victim, forced into this situation."

Barad, still visibly angry, also sat down. "How can you be so sure she's not lying? And who could be behind her? I won't let anyone harm my family and get away with it," he vowed, his voice filled with righteous anger.

Ye Yang explained the situation in detail, recounting his encounter with the woman and the revelation about the Training Head's sinister intentions. Barad listened intently, his expression shifting from anger to concern.

"So, you're saying this woman is a victim of the Training Head's manipulation?" Barad questioned; his voice laced with doubt.

He is a friend of the Training Head and knows how he has helped many people, including himself, as the Training Head was willing to provide him with trained soldiers for the Escort Agency.

"Yes, Uncle Barad," Ye Yang affirmed. "She's been forced to do things against her will. We need to help her, and we need to expose the Training Head's true nature."

Barad's expression turned grim. "But he's also been helping countless people, including me. He offered to train soldiers for the Escort Agency. How can we be sure he's the one behind the attack?"

Ye Yang sighed. "It's a complex situation, Uncle Barad. The Training Head is a master manipulator. He knows how to gain people's trust and exploit their weaknesses. He's probably been feeding you false information, making you believe he's a benefactor.

Dan Ya, who had been silent until now, spoke up. "But how can we be sure that she's telling the truth? She attacked you, after all." While she had always harboured doubts about the Training Head, that didn't mean she would immediately trust a woman who had attacked her friend's son.
