Chapter 24: The Past Can Be A Burden

3rd Person View

Y/N and Winter are in the balcony staring at each other down intently as Winter awaited for Y/N's explanation.

"That Jacques........ Is the one I used to work for 3 years ago..." He said with little anger in his voice.

Winter just stare at him not saying a word.

"I made a deal with him that I will hunt down those people who are against his company and the reward is get to see Weiss again since we were friends in just a short time in our childhood."

He pause for a moment and sigh.

"And I was once a close friend with Ironwood too. But, that all changed when my deal with Jacques went wrong.........."

Flashback

"Hey Jacques, I took care all of them now, so can I see my friend?"

The younger Y/N said as he is standing in front of Jacques who is sitting in his desk in his office.

"Fine then but first, how about a cup of tea as an extra gift for the work perhaps?"

He grabs two cups and pour it with tea. He then gave one to Y/N as he takes a seat and sips on the tea.

"So. Why do you want to see my daughter?" Jacques ask while sipping on his tea.

Y/N puts the cup down and looks at him.

"Because she has been my friend years ago, and I want to see her again." He said.

"I see....... Does Weiss even remember you?"

"Of course she does."

"And how do you know?"

"'Cause I said to her that we will meet someday and that someday is today."

"Okay then, you can see her in-"

He was cut off by the door being opened revealing General Ironwood in his uniform.

"Greetings James." Jacques greets.

"Hey Ironwood."

"Why hello you two, Mr. Schnee I'm here to confirm something."

"What is it that you want to talk?"

"I will tell you if Y/N here leave us for a moment." He said looking at Y/N.

Knowing what he meant, Y/N stands up and grabs his sword and started walking towards the door.

But it was stopped when he felt something painful around his lower torso. He looks down to see a hole through it and it's bleeding rapidly.

He fell to his knees, clutching his side while he angrily looks back at Ironwood and Jacques who are standing behind him while Ironwood holds a gun that has powerful bullets.

"I'm sorry we have to do this Y/N, but you are a threat to Atlas."

"Y-you....... lied........ to m-me...." He said as he started to lose consciousness.

"What do you expect and do you even think that I will allow you to see Weiss?" Jacques said with a glare.

"Men, take him out of the Schnee Mansion."

Three Atlas soldiers enter in the office and dragged Y/N out as he temporarily lose his consciousness. But before he goes unconscious, he thought of one thing.

"(You traitors....)"

After Winter heard his story, her eyes widen in shock when she realized that her father and boss tried to kill the person who is known as 'Shadow', the one who helps human and faunus alike around Remnant and the boyfriend of Weiss.
