Chapter 6: The Sebastian Triplets

The West Masters University, founded over 60 years ago, by the Sebastian Family. Marcus Sebastian, a strong and powerful man, now runs Roundhouse City, as the mayor. He was once one of the strongest fighters in Roundhouse City History, a living legend in the world of street fighting and martial arts, one of the legendary 4 Masters. Marcus Sebastian is a highly intelligent man, got it from his bloodline. They say Marcus was arguably the most intelligent fighter in history. Though history tells, he is now retired and has been running the City for 15 years since he was elected. Marcus Sebastian is an only child, his father, Aurelius Sebastian, was one of the richest men on the planet. His family and some of the most powerful families in the country refounded Roundhouse City more than 80 years ago, after the second world war. Now, Marcus's influence is highly regarded by the country, he was onced asked to run for presidency but declined it. For more than 200 years, the Sebastian Family protected their fortunes by strict discipline, and one child policy. Marcus's son, Marc Sebastian was a former SF 3, a friend of Horilus Dominum during their era. Marc Sebastian married a woman from a royal lineage in the country of Spain. However, due to the woman's genetics, the couple had triplets, 2 sons and a daughter. After the triplets were born, their mother died due to childbirth. The triplets are against the Sebastian's family rule of one-child policy. So Marc Sebastian had to make an impossible decision, abandon two of his children and leave one as the heir. Marc chose his daughter over his two sons. But the decision was canceled out by his father, Marcus Sebastian.

Marcus entered Marc's room. " You don't have to son!" looks at him dead in the eyes. With sore and swollen eyes due to grieving from the loss of his wife, Marc is unable to decide, " Father, but this is against our family policy.". Marcus told him to stop thinking about it " I know, and I am telling you, you're being a complete idiot!"

" Father..."

Enraged, Marcus lashes out to his son " What kind of a man are you !? What kind of father are you! these children.. they never chose to be born as triplets, they are your children ! and you're telling me just because of our family's policy you're going to abandon two of them !? Are you insane! ?"

" Father, you're the one who told me to only have one child..." Marc said

" Yes ! I did! but i never told you to abandon a child too! This is a human being ! They are human beings! not some kind of dog you just leave in the streets. " Marcus replied.

" I don't want to do this father " Marc sits down in sadness.

" I know ! but your emotions right now are askew! you're being stupid! where is my blood in you ! you disappoint me Marc ! "

" I apologize father"

Marcus faces the a tower in Marc's room featuring the Sebastian Family Tree, in there are all the known members of the Sebastian family, " I am the head of the Sebastian Family now, my father is long dead, I decide of the Family policies, and I am telling you, you will keep all of them, treat them equally ! love them equally !"

" I am sorry Father, thank you, I will keep all of them"

Marcus sits beside his son " the problem is, you never prepared yourself for parenthood, and maybe it is my fault too for not attending to your needs when you needed me to be a father to you, and for that I am sorry, son".

" So I get to keep them all ? Is this okay with you father? " Marc asks. Marcus nods his head " Yes, we will raise them to be strong, so when the time comes they need to protect themselves, they will stand by their feet and fight when needed."

" How about my daughter ? I don't want her to be taken advantage of" Marc asks. " Your mother was one hell of a fighter, this girl is a Sebastian, and all Sebastians are strong and smart! " Marcus replied.
