Y/n looked at Willow, he knew that there was a reason for them living a life of crime but having no choice to do so? This is just beyond shady whether it's truth or lie.

Y/n: "Explain, saying that you didn't have a choice is completely vague..."

Willow sighed as she walked down the stairs.

Willow: "We live this life of crime because of what my ex husband did, he took over a lot of businesses in Vale and made people's lives miserable...Ruby and Summer used to work in a flower shop, Yang and Raven used to run a dojo, and Ghira and his family got blackmailed into shutting down his company. That's why I left him and we all have to be in this hated lifestyle...so he turned my family against me."

Y/n looked at her not fully convinced yet at the same time felt sympathetic, he knew the pains of having something taken away from him most importantly his family who died during Japan's conquering in Foshan. He then noticed Willow stopping at the stairs whispering to herself and crying about softly.

Willow: "Weiss...*sniff*...Winter..."

Y/n went up to the stairs and held her arms.

Y/n: "Miss Schnee, look at me..."

Willow sniffled as she looked at Y/n.

Y/n: "I know what that is like having your family taken from you, when I was younger in Foshan my family were taken and killed by some Japanese soldiers. My family is gone but yours isn't, so try your best to bring them back..."

Willow dried her tears as she then hugged the fedora dawning fighter, Y/n didn't hesitate to hug her back. He thought to himself.

Y/n: 'I never thought a similar tragedy can bring someone together even with ones that I'm not familiar with...Sifu was right, never judge individuals too quickly.'

Then a knock was on the door, an aggressive knock as that is. Y/n and Willow looked outside with Y/n having a look of vigilance and Willow had a look of worry.

Willow: "It's my husband, he's trying to take me back as his wife again by force. I'll go warn the others"

Y/n held her arm stopping her confusing Willow.

Y/n: "Take Raphtalia, I'll take care of it..."

Willow: "Are you crazy?! Jacques has an entire mob of gangsters there!"

Y/n: "I've dealt with worse, trust me and take Raphtalia..."

Willow hesitated but nodded, Y/n turned to Raphtalia.

Y/n: "It's last minute so listen when I say go with Miss Schnee..."

Raphtalia nodded as she followed Willow, Y/n stood his ground gripping his hands into a fist as Jacques busted the door down and saw Y/n.

Jacques POV

What the hell! This fucking chink just keeps on getting in my way! So he's that whore's new body guard huh? Well I'll enjoy taking him out this time, after all the only good thing that came out of that whore is her company and two daughters.

Jacques: "So! That whore decided to get herself a new guard dog huh?

Y/n: "I'm no one's guard dog...I'm just doing my part in society"

Jacques: "And what's that?"

Y/n took out his butterfly swords and pointed it at him.

Y/n: "To make people like you step off"

Jacques: "It won't be as easy you yellow piece of crap"

Third POV

Many gangsters surrounded Y/n holding hatchets and machetes, Y/n swords shimmered in the light as he focused on the mob that surrounded him. A few charge at Y/n causing him to immediately shift and blocked the upcoming attacks of machetes and hatchets, he misdirected a machete from a goon and wrapped his arm around his throat and used him as a shield against a hatchet from another goon injuring the human shield. Y/n then kicked another goon's throat and the used the butt of his sword to hit him against the head, Y/n turned to Jacques his glare darker than ever.

Y/n: "I'll ask you once: Get the hell out of here"

Jacques laughed at Y/n's antics for a brief moment, he looked at him with a smirk.

Jacques: "All you need is a formidable opponent, thankfully my daughter can handle that..."

He moved out of the way to reveal a petite girl with white hair, she held a rapier and looked at Y/n with a cold glare.

Weiss: "Stay our of my father's way foreigner, you don't belong in Vale"

Y/n: "I don't wish to harm you, it's not for my sake...but for your mother's"

Weiss yelled out trying to cut him vertically only for Y/n to block her sabre with his swords, the both were locked into an intense stare down as Weiss had a very chilling glare on her face.

Weiss: "She's not my mother! I never had a mother!"

Y/n: "False..."

Y/n then pushed her sword downwards causing her to continually slash and strike at Y/n as he backed up blocking and deflecting each blow, Y/n them noticed that Weiss started to tire out giving Y/n to talk to her.

Y/n: "Your mother loves you with a heart that no even your father has...."

Weiss yelled out striking Y/n in a vertical motion, Y/n continued talking to her.

Y/n: "...Your mother supports you and care for every step that you take in life..."

Weiss continued to strike Y/n with anger, Y/n knew the lie that Jacques told her took a toll on her and he could tell from how sloppy her strikes are getting.

Y/n: "...but she doesn't approve of what you fight for"

Y/n then caught her sword and her wrist with the brace of his swords and disarmed her then swept her off her feet, she tried to get up but Y/n pointed his swords at her face.

Y/n: "You're in a bad spot right now, if I were you I would yield..."

Weiss looked at the situation she's in and knew he was right, she looked down in defeat.

Weiss: "I yield"

Y/n sheathed his sword and helped her up, Weiss picked up her sword but suddenly got slapped in the face by Jacques.

Jacques: "Worthless bitch! You can't even take down this chink!"

Weiss: "But father-"

Jacques grabbed her hair causing her to tear up in pain.

Jacques: "Shut up! Your lack of skill is going to cost me-"

Y/n grabbed his wrist and struck his chin with his palm and then struck his nose with a lightning fast backfist which stunned Jacques, Y/n's fist erupted with golden fire activating his dualist semblance using his light metamorphosis.

Y/n: "Never come here again"

Y/n then yelled out punching Jacques through the doors only with a six inch gap stunning both Weiss and the other gangsters, the gangsters ran off only leaving Weiss and Y/n in the main room.

Y/n: "Your mother didn't leave you...your father lied to you"

Weiss: "Shut up! Just shut up! My mother was never there for me! You can't possibly know how that feels!-"

Y/n: "At least your mother is alive!"

Weiss stopped and looked at him

Y/n: "My mother and father died when I was five, I may have a family right now I wouldn't have the chance to be with my blood related family....but you do, your mother is still alive and so are your siblings. So don't complain about what you have especially when there is someone that doesn't have what you nag about..."

Weiss looked up at him, she was curious on this mindset that Y/n had. Nevertheless it made her reconsider all the atrocities that she did for her father, Y/n brought a helping hand up.

Y/n: "...It's not too late to change your ways and redeem yourself...you don't have to do it alone"

Weiss reluctantly accepted the help which symbolized her alliance to the mafia, The others came out as Y/n and Weiss. Willow gasped as she saw Weiss.

Willow: "W-Weiss?..."

Weiss: "Hello mum...."

Y/n let the two settle things as Y/n went up to Raphtalia, Raphtalia smiled Y/n as she hugged him.

Y/n: "Let's go back home..."

Ghira: "Mr Li?"

Y/n turned to him as he was called

Ghira: "You can stay in this manor and so can your younger sister, we have enough rooms..."

Y/n: "Are you sure? It's fine-"

Ghira: "I insist, we discussed it when you were in combat..."

Y/n: "What about you Raphtalia?"

Raphtalia: "I-I think it would be nice to live here..."

Y/n: "And I promised you a better life..."

He then turned to Ghira.

Y/n: "I humbly accept your request, thank you for your hospitality."

Ghira clapped his hands together.

Ghira: "Wonderful!"

Y/n: "When should I bring all my things?"

Ghira: "No need I can get some people to help you, you can start whenever you like."

Y/n: "Then we can start tomorrow, again I thank you for your hospitality"

Y/n put his fist in his palm and bowed showing respect to Ghira.

Ghira: "Have a good day Mr. Li"

He nodded as he patted Raphtalia's head

Y/n: "Let's go Raphtalia"

He smiled and hopped down the stairs step by step and exited the manor, they passed the docks to take a shorter way back home until...

???: "Y/n!"

The two turned to see a tan girl with blonde hair, at the sight of this Y/n smiled brightly as he saw his best friend from Foshan.

Y/n: "Arslan!"
