According to Fedrick's report, the leader of the gang who was boasting to be a snake gang member was just a pawn used by one of the division heads...
There are three major gangs that rule the country of Zarvain...
The first is the dragon gang, is rumoured to be the most powerful, but no one really knows which one is the most powerful amidst the three gangs, and there's also a rumour that the dragon gang is backing the Huston family, they are known for being ruthless yet calm, they don't cause trouble, but if you cross them, you will wish you were dead instead, they have 12 elders and one leader, they are called 13 Old dragons, only the core members have met this leaders before...
The second is the Flawless gang, which acts more like a mediator between the gangs, they are known for assassination, it's rumoured to be led by a woman, which is considered impossible according to the rules of this country, it's a baseless rumor, but the leader of this gang always wears a mask, no one has ever seen his face. They have two elders and one leader(the masked one is the leader)...
The third most powerful gang is the snake gang one of the most violent gang, most people feel they are the strongest because of their strict ruling rules, they have 10 elders including their leader and the seven serpents next in power to the elders they are unknown but their name are feared, Silent fang, King coil, Swift death, Bone crusher, Venom lord, Mind twister, Eternal bite, these are the nicknames of the seven serpents..
To be a member of any this gangs, you must be properly screened not just anyone can join these gangs as member....
*Backwill valley*
Stella who felt more determined than ever, walked home as she strategizing and planning her schedules, because according to the flyer the competition is in two weeks, she needs to convince her dad, and work her part-time jobs to buy the equipment needed for the competition...
After entering her house and seeing her mum in the kitchen she ran immediately, hugged her mum and kissed her cheek...
Stella's mum who was surprised turned and hugged back and kissed Stella's forehead...
"How was the job hunting" Stella's mum asked...
"It didn't go quite well buttt...., I got something else" Stella said with a smile forming on her face...
"What's that my angel??"...
"Well mum, I got a flyer to participate in a competition where I don't need a suitor or dad's approval and whoever wins gets a job with Huston fashion the rest of the top ten gets job in various companies mum"... Stella said in one breath
"Wow that's beautiful" Stella's mum noticed Stella's face slowly changing, Stella's mum asked...
"My angel, what's wrong??"
"The equipment needed and how to cope with my part-time job, and how to evade Dad's eyes"...
"Regarding your dad, I will handle that I know what to say to him, and as for equipment follow me"...
Stella's mum said as she led the way...
Stella's mum made her way to their backyard as she opened a small door there, if one didn't look closely they wouldn't know a door was ever there, Stella was shocked and confused as she followed behind her mum closely...
The door made a creaking sound as Stella's mum opened the door.
Surprisingly, it was clean and filled with locked boxes, though the space wasn't large, but everything was properly kept..
Stella was shocked, Stella had so many unanswered questions as she stared at her mum deeply...
Stella's mum walked to one of the boxes, it was a medium sized box and gave it to Stella..
Stella still a loss for words. Collected the purple-hued emerald colored box, the box looked expensive, she opened it and found the necessary equipment needed for designing, It looked expensive, Stella looked at her mum and asked, "Mum, how did you get this?"...
"My angel, this was given to me by my grandma, I know you have so many questions to ask, but some things are better left unsaid" Stella's mum said as patted Stella's hair gently her other fist clenched as she tried to restrain her emotions...
"Mum, you never talk about your family, what are you keeping from me mum" Stella said as she tried to conceal her emotions, ( I'm my mum's only daughter yet, I don't know anything about her) Stella thought...
"My angel, how about we uncover that little by little, for now let's focus on the competition, when the right time comes, I would explain" Stella wanted to ask more questions but seeing her mum's teary eyes, with tears threatening to fall, but her mum didn't cry instead she held back her tears and stared at Stella with love...
Their touching moments was broken Fiona...
"Mum! miss beauty!"... Fiona screamed as she was searching the whole house frantically, she feared whether those bulky men sent people to kidnap her sister and mum...
Stella who heard Fiona voice immediately dropped the boxes as they both cleaned their eyes and Stella followed her mum back to the house...
Fiona seeing them both safe and sound, immediately hugged the both of them..
"Woah, you guys scared me, I thought something bad happened Mum"...
She said as she hugged Stella's mum tightly ignoring Stella...
"Oh wow so I'm the unimportant one huh, big sis" Stella said arms Crossed with fierce eyes...
"Someone is jealous hehe" Fiona said and laughed out loud...
"Well, you girls should stop teasing each other, I'm going to the grocery store to get some things, be good untill I'm back okay" Stella's mum said as she smiled and left...
Stella and Fiona started discussing about what happened earlier today after Stella's mum left...
"Why were those men chasing us??" Stella asked sitting on her bed...
"They're the venomous gang, I think the head is being backed by a snake gang member" Fiona replied...
"Woah, The snakes, what are we going to do?, how did we end up offending someone like that??" Stella asked as she pulled her hair with both hands...
"Well, there's nothing to be scared of, those masked guys who saved us, seems powerful, the person behind them was scared after a phone call" Fiona said proudly, with a visible smirk on her face...
" I didn't get to see his face". Stella pouted as she made this statement..
"Woah, don't tell me you like him, huh" Fiona said raising her eyebrows and pointing her hands to Stella as she laughed...
"Well, at least I'm better than someone who ditched her sister and followed a guy she just met, hmph" Stella said as she used her right to fling her hair behind her ear...
"Oh, wow nice, I was helping you to get a ride" Fiona replied trying to deny that she also liked Fedrick...
"Helping me get a ride indeed" Stella replied sarcastically...
Fiona picked a pillow and threw at Stella, Stella threw hers back, and laughed their hearts out...
"Oh sh*t, it's time for my part-time job" Stella screamed and broke the laughter as she hurriedly prepared to leave...
