Interlude: Father and Son

Jack Spade once felt that the world was a painful prison from which he could not escape.

His father was an alcoholic, and often when he got drunk, he tortured Jack's mother and Jack as a child in a very cruel way, and despite his mother's protection, Jack was still covered in bruises every day.

Jack also has a younger sister who comes to comfort him whenever Jack is in pain. At this time, even if Jack's heart is still painful, he will still face his sister with a smile.

The only people in this world who love him are his mother and sister, which is what motivates Jack to feel that he can survive in this world. He had to live, and he had to live in order to be able to give his mother and sister a better life in the future.

But reality always plays tricks, his father beats his mother and sister after a drunken meal, and then accidentally sets the house on fire, leaving Jack's mother and sister alive in the fire.

Jack will never forget the screams he heard as he rushed home, his drunken father had no intention of saving his mother and sister, and left them crying in the fire, while Jack could only watch the people he wanted to protect die in front of him.

"No!" Jack felt that his whole world had completely collapsed, he had lost the only two people in this world who loved him and loved him at the same time, why would the world play such a ridiculous joke with him!?

"You killed them!" Jack angrily lunged at his father, grabbing him by the collar. "Why? Why did you take everything from me?

"Let me go, stinky boy!" his father cursed loudly, "What are you? I'm your father, let go of your dirty hands now!"

"No, you're not my father!" Jack let go of his hand by his father's collar, "I don't have a father, I don't! You don't deserve to be my father at all, I only have hatred for you and this cruel world in my heart now!"

That night, Jack buried the bodies of his mother and sister in a wilderness, and he wept bitterly in front of the grave until he thought all the tears of his life had been shed, and he stood up from the grave.

"Goodbye. Jack looked at the mound in front of him and said, "Why is this world so cruel? I don't understand, if this is my fate, then I have to break my fate with my own hands!"

After that, Jack, with a heart of hatred, finally finds a place in this world where he can be accepted, and an organization known as the Fallen is happy to let him join.

The Fallen, this organization is completely synonymous with evil, it was originally founded by defectors from the witchers, the people in the organization take pleasure in destruction and killing, it can be said that almost everyone is evil, and if you want to join this organization, you must pass a very difficult test.

They found another way to gain the power of the Word, abandoning the traditional ritual of replacing silver knives with the fangs of vipers and instilling them, drinking a potion that was made of unknown in the process.

Both methods have a single purpose, and that is to inflict greater pain on those who have been tested than the traditional inscription of the Word.

The viper's fangs already contain tiny amounts of venom that make people feel burning pain all over their bodies, and the potions amplify this pain even further, which means that you are almost suffering from the most painful torture in the world from the beginning of the tattoo.

Jack passed the test, he became a member of the Fallen, and in just a few years he became the Fallen's vice-captain, when he was only 17 years old.

"That man is like a cold killing machine, although he looks immature, but his heart is so cold, we don't know what he has been through, but we can feel his deep hatred for the world. ”

In fact, the most powerful of the Fallen is none other than Jack, whose almost invincible words make it impossible for anyone to disagree with his orders, and in fact he is the true ruler of the hearts of all in the Order.

But it is precisely because of Jack's presence that the Fallen have changed a lot. The original organization was only engaged in senseless destruction and killing, but Jack's appearance gave them a new goal: to destroy the evil in this world.

"Why should we hurt those innocent people?" said Jack, "our real enemies are those humans with evil intentions, turn the hatred in your hearts into strength, and fight with me for such a goal!"

In this way, the Fallen became an organization dedicated to purging those they considered evil, and although it did not carry out senseless destruction and killing as it had done in the past, the existence of this organization still terrified many people.

The BPRD was ready to proceed with the elimination of the group, and to their surprise, the first operation unit was wiped out in less than ten minutes.

Jack showed a far greater strength than anyone else in the BPRD had ever seen before, and everyone who had seen the battle footage had come to the conclusion that the man was the reincarnation of the ghost!

In view of Jack's strength, Rajer, who was the commander-in-chief at the time, unexpectedly proposed to lead the team himself this time, and it was in this situation that the two finally met face-to-face for the first time.

The Fallen vs. the elite squad led by the Commander-in-Chief of the BPRD, this battle was destined to be very difficult from the beginning.

So those who survived that battle would tell the story to the newcomers, because it was a shocking sight that many people would never have seen in their lifetime.

Both of them showed their strongest strength, as the sky seemed to be torn apart by their terrifying power, and the place where they fought was almost razed to the ground, and the battle lasted for a whole day and a night, and finally the winner was finally decided, and Rajer finally defeated Jack.

"Kill me!" said Jack lying on the ground without the slightest hesitation, "I lost this battle, you can do it now." ”

"I'm not here to kill you. Rajer crouched down and said calmly, "I feel your heart from your fight, you have been through something very painful." ”

"What do you want to say?"

"I don't think you're hopeless. Rajer said, "Come with me, you have taken the wrong path before, but I believe I can lead you to the right path!"

"Don't be preachy like my father!" Jack shouted angrily, "Who do you think you are? I have nothing to do with you!?Why do I need your attention, I have nothing but hatred for this world!"

"Father?" said Rajer, looking into Jack's eyes, "It seems that you really hate your father, but this hatred is not the reason for your depravity, you are just constantly torturing yourself!"

"So what?" said Jack, smirking self-deprecatingly, "just let me continue to torture myself like this, I still can't escape this cruel fate, it's so sad!"

"Come with me!" Rajer held out his hand to Jack, his tone so genuinely soft. "You don't want to sink like this, do you? you have changed the Fallen from the darkest organization to the way you are now, and I can see that there is still justice in your heart!"

Jack's heart fluttered when he heard what Rajer said, and after a long hesitation, he finally grabbed Rajer's outstretched hand.

Since then, Jack has been Rajer's affairs officer, and it is in the process that Jack has changed a lot.

Rajel cared about him all the time, even if he was in a slightly bad mood, Rajel would bring hot tea to his room to see him as soon as possible, and Jack seemed to feel something, something he had never felt before.

"Why are you being so nice to me?" Jack finally couldn't help but ask, "I don't deserve you this, you don't need to do this to me at all." ”

"A child who makes mistakes?" said Rajer with a smile, "You have indeed made many mistakes in the past, so you are to use all the time you have to make atone." And as for why I did this to you, it may be because I really think of you as my son a lot of times. ”

"Son?" Jack's eyes showed mixed feelings, "You made me feel a special feeling, I have never felt it in my life, I understand now, because I also unknowingly regarded you as a father!"

"I have learned of your past by all means. Rajer suddenly hugged Jack, "You're just a misguided child, all I want is to save you, and I don't want anything else." ”

"If only you were my father!" Jack sobbed, "then my mother and sister wouldn't have died, would I'd not be what I am now!?"

"Cry, child. Rajer patted Jack on the back and said, "You're not the same you used to be, you're a real witcher now." ”

"Remember, children, people have to fight for their goals, and life is also to give for things worth dedicating, remember this firmly, and then you will find the path you really want to take!"

"Can I really find it?"

"As long as your heart is still beating, you will find it. Rajel looked into Jack's eyes and said, "I'll always be there for you, kid, I'm sure you can do it!"

Under Rajer's guidance, Jack continued to move forward, and he became more and more respectful of Rajer, and the relationship between the two of them was extremely close, in fact, Rajer was already his father in his heart.

"I'll be there for you no matter what the circumstances, Commander-in-Chief. Jack once said to Rajer, "I am willing to give my life if you need it!"

"I'm sure you'll do it. Rajer laughed, "You've grown so much better than you used to be, sometimes I don't even dare to recognize you in front of me, Jack, I'm so proud of you." ”

"But don't just say something like death. His tone suddenly became serious, "Your life is more important than mine, I don't want you to make such a sacrifice for me, I have watched you grow with my own eyes, even if I die, I will continue to watch." ”

He was my father. Jack had always held on to this idea in the deepest part of his heart, that I had wandered in the dark, and that it was Rajer who had saved me from it, and he had made me understand what true fatherly love was, and how I wished he was my true father.

The path to being a witcher is to constantly dedicate himself, and Jack has already realized that he wants to give his life to Rajer, and he has been waiting for that moment to come, and when that time comes, how much Jack wants to speak his heart.

And now, Jack has finally fulfilled his long-cherished wish, he has traded his life for Rajer's survival, and he still has a smile on his face even when his life is gone.

It was my wish to die as your son, Jack thought to himself at the last moment of his life. I don't have the strength to speak anymore, but I can feel the burning affection you have for me, and I am glad to have it, father.
