The Villain's Redemption

Chapter 359 - Saving The One That They Hated

An assassin.

Anna wanted to laugh at the irony of it all.

So, if Isaac was indeed an assassin, then being killed by the King himself is possible. She stared at the professor; her face was devoid of any expression. Was it possible that the King killed her father?

"Why are you telling me this?"

"Everyone knows it. Except you." Nerate said. "You know why only I have the guts to tell you the truth?" He got up from his chair and looked at the view from the huge rectangular window behind his chair. "Because I think you deserve to know why your pack… is even called the Shadow Pack."

They are shadows.

The dark part of the light.

The shadow of the King's success.

"Your pack was trained to kill Lycans, not dark ones." Nerate shrugged. "So don't blame the other kids for not liking you. The shadow packs are strong but… they never fought against the dark ones. Instead, they hunted rogues and lycans alike. Or even the King's enemies. The only reason why I told you this is because… I wanted you to leave this school on your own accord."

"Why would I do that?"

"Your classmates are scared of you. And I don't want you to hurt them."

Her eye twitched. This was the original Anna's habit every time she is getting angry. However, she was trained not to show any emotion, especially to outsiders.

Now that she thought about it, her father indeed trained her as an assassin.

Instead of fighting dark ones, she was trained to fight against Lycans.

"Your presence here already caused chaos from other packs. They don't want you here."

"Because I am from Shadow pack," she stated.

Nerate stared at her with a serious expression. "Because you are your father's daughter. The fact that you are a Matthews is enough to scare anyone."

Anna blinked. Then she got up. "I'm not leaving."

"You don't understand. The chaos that— "

"And did you really think I would care, Professor?"

"Anna…" surprise flashed on the man's face.

"Did you think other people's opinions bother me?" Slowly a smirk appeared on her face. "I am not going to hurt anyone… first. But if they try to hurt me… everything will be different."

Anna realized that the father that she knew differed completely from the Isaac that this person knew. Sadly for them, this changed nothing. Anna, or at least the original one, would never hate her father.

Of course, she also understood the professor's perspective. In fact, she thought the professor was a good man. He knew that a storm was brewing inside the school.

The people who obliterated the Shadow pack would soon want her dead.

And killing a Lycan inside this school meant the culprit was challenging the king.

The professor didn't want the students to get involved.

"Please… it's for the other students. Right now, we don't know which group killed your parents. If they get inside the proximity of the school… we will be forced to fight back."

"And defend me," Anna said, sarcasm apparent in her voice. Everyone hated her. But if the culprit would send assassins inside the school, everyone would be forced to protect her.

That alone is going to stir a lot of parents.

"But it was the King who wanted me here," Anna added before she turned her back on the man. "Are you really going to defy the will of the king?" Nerate wanted her to leave the school on her own so he won't have to defy the order of the King.

"Professor… I know you didn't intend to tell me why everyone hated my father. I know everyone wanted me to be bullied so I would run away on my own."

"You— "

"But it changed when you realized I am stronger than most of the people here."

"That— "

"Don't worry. I won't let other people bully me." She turned and showed a sad expression to the professor. "I already lost my parents and pack, professor. I don't want to lose… my new classmates, too."

Once she turned towards the door, the sad expression on her face vanished. Her face turned stony, freezing. She walked out of the room and, just as she expected, a man wearing a suit was also waiting for her to leave.

"You are the person who hurt my son?"

She was not familiar with the man. However, this one exuded the smell of a Gamma. This must be Dominic's father. The man had the same build as his son. He was probably taller and obviously bulkier. The two had striking similarities: one would recognize them as father and son from afar.

However… how come this man is already here?

No. This man didn't come here because of Dominic. He must be here along with the other parents to complain.

Of course, when he heard that someone happened to his son, he immediately came to talk to the professor.

"Who is your son?" she asked.

"You— "

"Mr. Erfet." Nerate's voice interrupted them. "Please come in."

"Is this the brat who hurt Dominic?"

"Sir, please come inside. We don't want to disturb the other instructors."

"Answer me!"

"So, you are that man's father," Anna said. She was already in a bad mood. It seems that some people just want her to explode.

Lily understood she was in a body of a full-blooded wolf. However, she was not used to the sudden need to break something every time she gets irritated. For some reason, she felt that a fuse was inside Anna's body, and the more she try to control it, the more irritated she becomes.

The only reason she could stay calm, or at least look like she was calm, was because of the system; always reminding her of her mission.

"Mr. Erfet…. I advise you to follow Mr. Nerate. It's not good to disturb the other teacher."

The entrance of another man interrupted the tension.

Anna give the man a quick look before she started walking away.

It wasn't a coincidence that the Prince who ended Anna's life in the original timeline just showed up to 'save' her.

This …

This was a meticulously plan first meeting.
