"Then we'll have to take you hostage!" The thugs said as they started walking to Sylvie.
"Get over here child!" The thugs said as they looked at Sylvie.
"No way. Why would I voluntarily send myself over to you?" Sylvie said as she looked at them.
"Stop being such an annoying brat and get over here. Or I'll kill all of your friends!" The thugs started to say as they looked at her.
"I have no friends. I only have comrades…" Sylvie said as she decided she would have her fill of fun.
"You know what I mean! You know what! Marco! Drag her over here!" The boss thug said as he looked at one of his big and buff men.
"But sir…" Marco started to say.
"Take this as a lesson! You need to be able to harm women too! If you can't, you'll get backstabbed one day! So hurry up and bring her over here!" The boss thug shouted at him.
"Yes, boss…" Marco said as he started to walk over to Sylvie slowly and reluctantly.
"What are you doing! Hurry up!" The boss thug said as he glared daggers at the back of Marco.
"Sorry little girl… I have orders to do so… Just comply." Marco said as he stopped in front of Sylvie.
"Okay. Can you pay for my parfait first though?" Sylvie said as she looked at Marco.
"Yes yes… Sure… How much was it?" He asked her.
"It's two silver coins." Sylvie said as she looked at him.
"Alright, here is two silver coins." Marco said as he took two silver coins out of his pocket and placed it on the table.
"Now are you going to come?" Marco asked her.
"Sure." Sylvie said as she got up and let Marco hold her as 'hostage.'

"Marco… Why'd you pay for her meal?" The boss thug asked him.
"Because we're taking her as hostage… Shouldn't we at least pay for her meal? She is a child after all. Even with the cloak on." Marco said as he looked at his boss.
"Take the money back! You are not paying for this brats meal! The brat has annoyed me enough! I want to slap this brat!" The boss thug shouted at him.
"Thanks for your patronage!" Patricia's voice came from Sylvie's table all of a sudden.
"I accept your two silver coins Sylvie! You can go now!" Patricia said as she waved with two silver coins in her hand.
"No problem!" Sylvie said as she looked at boss thug with a smug look on her face.
"You! Marco bring her over here!" The boss thug said as he shouted at his men.
"Why?" Marco asked him.
"I am going to slap her! And beat her up!" The boss thug said as he shouted in anger.
"Oh no. Child abuse. Please get the government." Sylvie said sarcastically in a mocking tone.
"That's it!" The boss thug said as he ran over to Sylvie before slapping her in the face.

"Ah…" Sylvie fell to the ground due to the force.
'Ah… My bum! I didn't even feel the damage from that. Better pretend to be unconscious huh. More drama that way. I've been too bored lately.' Sylvie thought inside her head.

Fates Parallel (A Xianxia/Wuxia Inspired Cultivation Story)
Volume 1 of Fates Parallel is on Amazon's Kindle Unlimited! Check it out here! Also available on Audible! Volume 2 of Fates Parallel is on Amazon's Kindle Unlimited! Check it out here! Also available on Audible! After centuries of endless wars, the three greatest nations of the continent have come together in peace. As a symbol of their cooperation, they have worked together to establish the Grand Academy of Spiritual, Martial, and Arcane Arts, a place where the best and brightest of each nation can gather on neutral ground and share knowledge, techniques, and cultures. Can the peace truly last, or is the academy just another proxy for the constant conflicts the three nations face? None of that matters to Lee Jia, a homeless young girl who's biggest concern is surviving the winter. But when she accidentally stumbles into the academy in search of a new place to stay, her destiny is changed forever. Determined to carve out a new place for herself and make the most of her good fortune, Lee Jia dives head first into the world of magic and martial arts. Fates Parallel is my first serious attempt at writing a story, and a personal love letter to Eastern fantasy and xianxia stories. It's heavily inspired by East Asian culture, folklore, and mythology, with what is likely going to be a decidedly Western artistic license. I try to write every day, with a goal of about 45,000 words per month (~1500 per day). Chapter lengths are around 3000 words on average, releasing on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays. Cover art drawn by the incredibly talented Tsuu (TsurotArtistry).

Where the world’s new technologies are created and studied. University Engineers reworking various new designs of past do-dads and gismos to serve the need of the populous. In a world still filled with magic, the Favinonian people have turned away from magic to embrace this new reasoning. Deprived of faith, the populous was yes advance but lacked humanity and needed to move onto the next step, losing emotion and losing touch with the higher realm. These cause some to fall for other means, pursuing that need to fill with devil and demon cults. In the chaos and ignorance came a community of healers with ancient knowledge before the Massacre of Magic. These few will eventually found the church of the Trinity whose three aspects of Green, life and death with healing and agriculture, Orange, retribution and protection with the flame of passion and Blue, knowledge and law with the clarity of the mind.
