third POV

Ruby collapse from the sight of her sister beaten down to the ground by the guards as they laugh

Guard 1: what a mess you are yang!

Guard 2: yes, you're right but don't worry we going to fix you up real good tonight now that your little sister isn't here anymore!

tears flow through Ruby face as she trying to stand up and go help her sister, to do at least something to help her dear sister but she can't she's too weak to fight she just not good enough, this wasn't the first time it happened either and yet here she is crying like a little girl. A warm pat on Ruby cause her to look up to see the wolf faunus giving her a smile even though there was anger in his eyes and walk toward the guards

Nick: gentlemen I advise to stop what you are doing if you know what best for you

Guard 2: oh yeah? well NO this bitch owns us a lot amount of trouble

Nick: I see...

Nick twist the handle of his cane, sound of clicking can be heard and it's release into a bladed whip

Nick: last chance

Guard 1: trying to scare us? whatever it's getting boring anyway

The guards draw their swords and launch themselves to Nick hitting him directly, Weiss scream at his bodyguard

Weiss: why aren't you guys doing anything! he's being attacked help him

The bear bodyguard: trust me, miss Weiss, I will only slow him down sometimes I ask myself why I am even here he can sure defend himself just look him go

Weiss looks back at the fight to see the blade of the swords not cutting into his skin but stuck to it by a hardened blood, Nick use this chance to punch the guards off of him to the ground and swing his bladed whip at them sending them flying chasing to the houses, he twists back his cane and it reattach itself to normal then Gideon comes running

Gideon: what is going on here! do you know how sh*t my day is ri-

Nick: in the matter of fact I do sir

Gideon: Mr. Nick wh- what are you still doing here!

Nick: your guards have been abusing your slaves I just thought they needed a lesson

Gideon: I am so sorry Mr. Nick it won't happen again, just please don't take more than you already have!

Nick: don't worry Mr. Gideon in the matter of fact I want to ask you why didn't you tell me that Rudy has a sister?

Gideon: I just thought it doesn't really matter she's just a normal slave

Nick: I see well I'm will be taking her too name the price

Gideon: pleas- wait pardon me but will you say that again?

Nick: I would like to buy Ruby sister from you name the price or you want me to change my mind?

After some bargaining Yang was bought by Nick, he picks her unconscious body up and walks back to the car as the others follow, luckily there a first aid in the ride so her new master patch yang up and said she will be fine, they got in the car and driver drive to their next destination, yang slept on Ruby lap as Ruby look outside the window

It's been a while now. Rudy watches outside the window as the farm and the manse disappears. She was going away from her home. She only knew of the farm but nothing else from outside. She wonders where could they be headed, what will she see? More importantly, why is that scary wolf faunus, Nick thought it would be best for her and her sister to be with him in the same cab and not with the other cab the slaves were in? She was hesitant to say anything. She thought remaining silent would be best but when she made a request about saying the last goodbye to her sister, he didn't hesitate to answer, nor was he cruel to reject such thing. But she just can't tell whether it would be wise to ask.

Nick notices her discomfort through her face, he begins to wonder if she's scared or wants to go back. Although it would be possible to return her back to the farm it also would be hard for her. After all, Gideon is a cruel master to his slaves. Nick knew of these since he was insulted in his party he was invited in. Nick was never a party animal but it's the only way to get to know other nobles. Even though they fear even approaching him. Nick doesn't really know how to approach her without making her uncomfortable, He decided to talk first.

Nick: So, what is it?

Rudy: Hmm?

Weiss: How dare you! you must answer him not just "Hmm" and at least put a sir in it!

Ruby: sor- sorry I didn't mean to

Nick: It's okay you don't have to be that formal and Weiss stop shouting at the kid

Weiss: Bu- but

Nick: no buts Weiss even you can call me by my name

Weiss: hmf fine

Nick: What is it you want to say?

Rudy: I don't have anything to say, sir

Nick: Don't be modest, I'd like to know you a bit better

Rudy: Well I don't know what to say, sir.

Nick: Just tell me what it is your thinking about. Any questions you want to ask just say it

Rudy: Well I don't know, um, there seems to be a lot of questions I want to ask about. Like why did you save my sister? Who are you? How did you do those move!? and what happens from now?

Nick: Alright I'll tell you. First, I did it because I think that family should always stay together, we faunus will never get to feel that. Second, I'm a tax-collector, my name is Nick, however in the future, you should address me as Nick, not as master or any of that and this is Weiss she's my assistant.

Weiss: greeting

Nick: and for your third question, I own you and your sister now, Ruby you will be trained to become a great warrior

Ruby and Weiss: WH- WHAT!

Ruby: w- why? I'm weak I can't even hold a kitchen knife properly I'm just a petty slave

Nick: Ruby I can't quite tell how but I live long enough to see that there something great inside of you

Ruby: really? you don't look so old how old are you?

Weiss: OKAY that's it! you just being rude here!

Ruby: Please stop sho- shouting! help!

Nick: *chuckles* sorry Ruby but I'm with Weiss on this one

Ruby: NOooo

[time skip]

Third POV

An hour later they have arrived at slave's town. Rudy looked outside the window amazed from what she sees. She has never really been outside the farm ever. She was born in slave's town but she was too young to remember any of it and then was bought by Gideon, so she never knew of the world. Nick sees her widened expression seeing that this is all new to her.

Nick: have you ever been outside the farm?

Rudy: No, I haven't sir. I was born in slave's town but was bought by Gideon and raised on that farm. It's the only place I knew

Nick felt pity for all the girls. What kind of life is that? he never really cares slave's life story but now that he owned them he wanted to bring joy back to their life

Nick: do you have anyone you know who lives here?

Ruby: well I think my dad is still live here, I haven't seen him for a long while

Nick: we are in slave's town, so you can go visit him if you want

Rudy: Really sir!?

Nick: why yes, my dear and remember it's Nick

Rudy: Sorry, how can I repay this kindness?

Nick: Don't worry about it

Then something crossed her eyes. The slave markets. it was the place that they were heading. She saw all different kinds of slaves. All of them were Human from children to elderly. Nick pulled the curtains on her side.

Nick: You didn't need to see that.

She wonders what would happen to the other slaves from the farm.

They have arrived at their destination.

Nick: Weiss comes with me, Ruby you can wait here or go see your father I must go do something

Weiss follows him outside and starts walking

Nick: what do you think of her Weiss?

Weiss: she's acting like a child

Nick: Come on Weiss she's just a kid...don't tell me you are jealous

Weiss: WH- WHAT NO wh- why should be jealous of a kid!

Nick pull Weiss into his arm and whisper to her ears

Nick: *whisper* don't be jealous you are my one and only

Nick kiss Weiss in the forehead and continence walking with a smirk on his face, leaving Weiss confused and blushing, just ahead of them there seems to be a craggy faunus hyena on a booth who is barking orders to the crew of the ship.

Nick: Hello there Capt. Oak

Capt. Oak: Well isn't this a surprise! I thought I never see the day that you'll ever come here to the slave market! Oh, wait are you here for the taxes? Because I already paid my share!

Nick: Yes, I know you did, and no I'm not here to buy slaves but to sell some and maybe get some pieces of advice too

Capt. Oak: Well I'm honored to help you let's see the merchandise first!

The faunus hyena was quite loud and lively for a slave trader. Weiss thought of slave traders as just as cruel as her former master but that changed when she saw him, a friendly loud faunus hyena with a peg leg. He was conversing with Nick with such a lively and friendly tone but that doesn't mean he couldn't be just as cruel. The captain began to inspect the human from the cab.

Capt. Oak: Oh, these are fine slaves! Where on earth did you get these humans?

Nick: Someone by the name of Gideon couldn't pay his taxes and decided to sell his own slaves as payment, including some accessories

Capt. Oak: These humans will be sold off at a higher price for sure!

Nick: So can you buy them off me? I'll sell to you for 47,500 liens

Capt. Oak: That's quite cheap for these healthy humans! Well of course! I won't turn this kind of offer! But are you sure? I can pay more for them ya know

Nick: I only need the necessities, but I'll just raise it by 500 liens, how's that?

Capt. Oak: Yar har har! Is that all? Well since you're quite generous I'll take the offer!

Nick: Alright just take good care of them

Capt. Oak: Oh I will for sure! I will keep them clean and well fed that I promise you old friend!"

Nick: Alright then

Capt. Oak then grabs his pockets and pays and Nick with some papers he needs to fill. As he's doing that Capt. Oak notices a white hair girl clinging on his side.

Capt. Oak: Uh..mate is the snowflake clinging on your side you the new assistant

Nick: Oh Weiss? yes, she is how did you know?

Capt. Oak: I could never have guessed! Nick, the nightmare of nobles, the big bad wolf needing an assistant! the whole damn remnant is talking about it!

Nick: words sure travel fast

Capt. Oak: Aye I could understand what ye mean these rumors aren't good too mate like you have a massive sex dungeon under your house or something similar, but no one can really blame you sometimes these humans are just too unbearable and gets me all excited but don't go tell me wife now will ya?

Nick: I will keep that in mind here's your paper

Capt. Oak: And here's yer silver and gold mate so what did you what to talk about?

Nick: Weiss can you go see if how Ruby and yang doing for me?

Weiss walk away back to where Ruby and Yang was

Nick: you know every slave that is bought or sold in slave's town do you recognize Weiss? can you at least tell me where she from?

Capt. Oak: ummm sorry mate I don't recognize her in any bit, yes, after general Adam destroy what left from the great war the nation enforce that every slave must be born in slave town to be sold so they can control slave's population but that doesn't stop anyone from breeding their own slaves, it causes the council a bit of problems lastly, finding Weiss original owner will impossible to do so

Nick: Adam and his fake victory he did nothing the only thing he did was just ordering to hunt down the humans that suffered and trying to make a life from what left from the great war and his excuse was there a chance they will rebel

Capt. Oak: aye mate but Uncle Ryan seem to tell a different story and the council liked him too

Nick couldn't argue with that, he says his thanks to Capt. Oak and take his leave, Nick walk back to the ride and see Weiss looking Ruby and Yang hugging a man which is probably their father from afar, Nick walked up to her

Nick: hey are you okay?

Weiss: ye- yeah I'm fine Nick

Nick: they look happy, don't they?

Weiss: yes they do...

Weiss' eyes start to tear up Nick hold her hand tight in his and thought to himself it wasn't the best time to tell her what he found

Nick: it's okay we can be like that too we can be happy too

Weiss: I really wish You truly mean that

Nick: I did it so far right?

Nick wrap out her tears with a cloth, the man hugging Yang and Ruby walk up to them and introduce himself

Tai yang: I don't know how to thank you enough Mr. Nick I'm Tai yang father of Ruby and Yang

Nick: It's a pleasure meeting you and you don't have to thanks me

Tai yang: I never thought I will ever see them ever again you don't know how much this means to me

Nick: seeing happiness from a family reunited is enough for me but we must go now

Tai yang: oh I underst-

Yang: you are rich Right? couldn't you just buy him too? Ruby said you think that family should stick together

Tai yang: Yang!

Nick: It's okay, I couldn't just take him He has to be on sale before I could buy him

Ruby: WHAT!

Tai yang: that is true Ruby and my master wouldn't let me go me so easily too

Yang: So there's no way me and Ruby could see him anymore?

Nick: No, but I promise you that if the owner does decide to sell him, I'll buy them for you girls

Yang couldn't believe what he just said. He'll buy him off for them? What kindness is this? She could never have expected it from a noble, No maybe it's just an act to make us trust him and then he will do horrible things to us

Tai yang: Thank you thank you thank you so much

Nick: you don't have to thanks me, I will assure you that I will keep them healthy and most of all happy you have my word

After some goodbye, they continence back to their ride and sent off back home

[next morning]

Ruby POV

Morning came. Rudy was lying on her bed comfortably. The light hit her eyes and realized it was morning. She gets up confused. She wonders where she is, then she remembers that she's in her new room, her new home. She also remembers that she serves the master of the house! She hurriedly gets up and goes down the bunk beds that Nick installed for them, she sees yang still sleeping in her bed not having a care for the world and Weiss bed clean like she never slept there, also They now share the room with Weiss now which sometimes she can be a little strict but she's our roommate. I go out the door to prepare for the day. I caught a scent coming from the kitchen, it smelled good. so, I headed to the kitchen and saw Nick cooking food while Weiss sitting on the table drinking some tea

Nick: Morning Rudy

Rudy: M-morning Nick morning Weiss

Weiss: good morning to you too Ruby did you make your bed?

Ruby: n- no?

Nick: Come on Weiss it's her first day, come on over sit by the table, we're about to have breakfast it's my special today!

Ruby: I'm sorry I did not wake up earlier I could have come and helped you

Nick: Don't punish yourself, will you? go sit and enjoy the food also did your sister wake up yet?

Ruby: no, she still asleep

Nick: ...oh it's okay I will make some more for her to eat later

Nick has been nothing but kind, yesterday when they got to their new home he almost does everything in the house instead of them Weiss did get very mad because of it too, She then does the rest of the cleaning I want to go help her but she brushes me off to go play somewhere else while Yang...well Yang haven't been open up lately She always say that Nick is up to something bad and she been keeping an eye on him but how could she say that! He been nothing but good to us

Rudy takes a seat and looked around. There was hardly anything decorative in this place. She begins to wonder why?

Rudy: Oh uhh um...Nick?

Nick: Yes?

Rudy: Why is there no decorations in this house? Don't most nobles decorate their homes?

Weiss: hmm now that Ruby question it I start to wonder too

Nick: I don't really find it necessary

Rudy: Why?

Nick: I just don't see their purpose or why do I even need to have it in the first place

Weiss: I don't understand

Nick: Heh that's what other Faunus say whenever they see my home

Weiss: You have Faunus come over here from time to time?

Nick: Yeah but only for businesses and nothing else

Rudy: You don't hold any parties? like with balloons, game, and CAKES!

Nick: No but I always get invited to one

Rudy: Oh

Nick: Would you guys come with me when that happens?

Rudy: Can I!?

Weiss: that would be very nice, can we?

Nick: Of course! I'm looking forward to seeing you girls in dresses

my face went red. He said he's looking forward to it! The thought of it made me even redder NO SHE ISN'T THINK IT LIKE THAT MAKE IT STOP HE JUST BEING NICE

Nick: Hey are you two okays? you guys look a bit flustered there

Rudy: OH-oh it's nothing! Nothing!

Nick: Well I'm already done so here

Nick serves the plates down

Nick: I'm not as good as Weiss, but this is the best I could do for a meal

Weiss: *blush* oh stop it I'm not that good

What was presented in front of her was a well-cooked vegetable wrap with some sort of sauce laid on top it? Is he being modest? This certainly something a top-class chef could make. Rudy has one before in a fest at the mansion garden back then where she was able to see the foods being made outside by a chef. It was something that looks like this.

Nick: Eat it before it gets cold

Rudy: Sure!

Rudy took a bit and it was delicious! She moaned at how good it was.

Nick: so I want to talk about your training

Rudy: What is it Nick?

Nick: Before we will start our real training, you will have some workout first we don't want you breaking every bone in your body, now would we?

Rudy: so what kind of workout is it?

Nick: The type that would help with your strength and mental ability but if you focus you will be fine

Rudy: Are you sure Nick?

Nick: Its true you won't be able to do something like something I did in a day, but practice makes it perfect.

Rudy: But what if I mess up?

Nick: I told you before, practice and even if you did make some mistake I'm not going punish you

Rudy: Really?

Nick: Yes, and I'll help to improve your combat skills

Rudy: then when do we start?! I'm so hype!

Nick: not today I have work to do and I don't want to make your first day here unpleasant

Ruby: oh well what can I do while you away?

Nick: we do need some more supply you wouldn't mind go outside and get some, would you?

Ruby: I would love too!

Nick: great then I must go now see you later girls

Weiss: did you take your medicine this morning Nick?

Nick: OH! I completely forgot! (*whisper* damn it )

About an hour past, Nick has already left and given a list of things Rudy needs to buy. She's used to working from morning to night. It was harsh, but this is something different. Thanks' to him she and her sister can have a new life, and someday free their father from that place.

She was happy of the thought and went to the market wearing a sincere smile. Looking back at the house, she wonders what she could do to improve it. As of now its bone white but just imagining what would it look like if its well-taken care of.

Third POV

Nick heading back at his office in the town central area. When he arrived, his expression has completely changed. He has a stern look that would terrify just about anyone. A face that completely hates the world as if speaking to him or just making eye contact is like a nightmare come to life. The faunus inside the building do stay weary of him. He's not named the Nightmare of Nobles without a reason. However, those who work with him has gotten used to it. For example, the weasel faunus that is coming up right next to him holding some papers.

Staple: Morning Mr. Nick

Nick: Hello Staple

Staple: So down to business as usual or want to talk about something else

Nick: A bit of both, but business first

Staple: Alright, well I got some bad news I'd like you to hear

Nick: No good news?

Staple: Unfortunately, no

Nick: Alright let's get in my office first

They both entered a room with a single desk and a stack of papers neatly placed on the left with drawers on both sides of the wall. No decoration as usual. They both sat down to start the discussion

Staple: Alright the first of the bad news, one of our tax collectors is being bribed by someone named Yuma

Nick: Yuma? I always want to confront that guy. This is good news for me

Staple: For you maybe but not for us. We want you to pay him a visit. He's been avoiding his tax payment for the past 5 months

Nick: You guys at central should have told me that a long time ago

Staple: We couldn't, after all your methods are quite unorthodox

Nick: Well there are those who likes resist

Staple: But burning their house is not a solution. You're giving us a bad reputation

Nick: But at least it works

Staple: Still we can't just steer fear unto others, even nobles

Nick: It's either that or the nobles will continue to manipulate us, bribe their way from paying the sum of their annual taxes

Nick was right, if they didn't show that they mean business then the city would revolve around by the rules of nobles. All middle and lower classes will be stomped, and the city would be in ruins. For the city central, Nick was a necessary evil. A dark enforcer of the law

Staple: Well let's not linger on off topics. The next one is the current investigation on Mr. Dowser. It's kind of unsettling

Nick: Wait, Dowser? Isn't he supposed to be handled by the police?

Staple: The police is asking for your help. Dowser has many nobles on his side but there is one thing they all have in common. They are all afraid of you. Now they only want you to rough up these animals on the list here and get them to disconnect any ties they have on him

Nick: So, I'm to play the villain again?

Staple: Well yes but you'll be enforcing the law at the same time. I swear nobles are a pain to handle

Nick: As the keepers of the city we should make sure that there's a balance. No side is favored

In the city, Nobles run rampant and not a lot of faunus wants to challenge them. Central makes sure to keep them in check. They have no idea when did the corruption took place but when it did the city wasn't the same anymore. Until they manage to root out the problem, central will keep an eye on everyone. If they don't get corrupted from the inside
