”The general your father, told them not to entered the land opposite the market road, but they still went there!” Baddu explained.
”And he also asked us to bring her daughter!” Miko added.
”Who own the land?” Jack asked.
”It my late husband only pieces of land!” Said the woman with breaking voice.
”plea-se help us, if your father took the land from us, we will die of hunger!” The son pleaded.
”plea-se sir, have pitty on us, we don’t have any other means to survive if we lost the land to your father!” The daughter added in pleading voice.
Jack turned to the boys and asked them
”Is what this woman and her children said true?”
None of the boys could give him answer. Some were looking down, some looked away, while some scratched their head.
It was obvious the woman and her children were saying the truth.
”So my father s£nt you boys to come and chase and beaten up owner of land and even bring her daughter to him!”
What do you think that monster of a father would do to her?” If not R@p£d (Jack asked and continue) ”And you stupidly come here and start beating this woman with her children! Instead of you to found something meanful to do with your lives, you are here killing and collecting peoples things for that evil man that called himself my father!
Are you boys not tried of killing innocent people all the time?” Jack asked sadly.
None of them could say a word, they all stand still, starring at the air.
”Now disappear from here and looked for something to do with your lives!” Jack said.
”But……..”
”I say disappear from here, you blood illiterate!” Jack interrupted Miko. While they left angrily and went to tell general.

”And you, how old are you? And what is your name?” He asked referring to the boy.

”Yes, how can I helped you?” He asked with anger on his voice.
”Is that a way of greeting your father?” General asked.
”Okay! Good day Mr general Kingsley! Am I free to go and rest?” He asked his father.
”Jack, why did you st©pped my boys from what I s£nt them?” General asked.
”So you s£nt those things you called your boys to go beaten and chase away that poor woman and her children from their only piece of land and even bring the daughter to you so you could R@p£d her as usually?” Jack asked.
”Yes, I s£nt them to even kill her and her miserable son, and bring the daughter to me, cause I warned them to stay off that land!” Said general boldly and shameless.
”Can you hear yourself? You s£nt them to even kill them! Haven’t you had enough blood stains in your hands? Why are you this wicked?” Jack asked his father sadly.
”Don’t you have respect? Did you realized that am still your father?” General yelled at Jack.
”God forbid, you are not my father! You lost my respect ever since you starting killing, I mean ever since you become the general of this state, all you do is to kill and collect people things! You turned into a monster that never gets tried of drinking blood everyday. Are you the only military man that becomes general?
