76 Chapter 75 (1/2)

”Well, you two should take your time talking for the time being,” Hector said. ”I'm going to be in my office.”

”Did something happen?” Amanda asked.

”Yeah, another horde attacked the South entrance of the city.” Hector rubbed his eyebrows. ”Five soldiers died... it could have been worse if Leon didn't have helped. Your big brother is a hero, Amanda.”

”Why the hell are you complimenting me? You are creeping me out...” Leon frowned.

”Don't fight... how did you help them, Leon?” Amanda asked, with her eyes full of curiosity. ”No, where have you been in the last four years?”

”Well, it is a long story...” Leon said.

”Is it? I think you summarized your last four years in three sentences when I asked.” Hector frowned.

Leon ignored Hector's comment and entered the house with Amanda. Although the place was big, it was quite simple, just like the outside. Leon thought his sister would be the type of wife who would decorate everything, but aside from her room and her daughter's room, everything was pretty dull.

Leon's niece was called Maya... it was the same name as Leon and Amanda's mother. She was sleeping, and she was adorable like her mother was when she was a baby. Maya was 18 months old; she could talk to some extent and even toddle without help. However, she was sleeping.

”Are you hungry? You can tell me what happened while I cook something.” Amanda said.

”I'm kind of hungry; I didn't eat anything since I learned that someone used a hydrogen bomb to sterilize our hometown,” Leon said. ”Still... can you cook? I remember that you didn't even know how to make noodles.”

”That was a long time ago.” Amanda pouted and looked away.

While Amanda was cooking, Leon told about what happened to him. Since he only trained, slept, and ate, there wasn't much to say.

”So, when happened, you were in an airplane…” Amanda said, surprised. ”Most humans can survive a fall from that height now, but I don't want experiment that kind of thing…”

”I don't want to experiment that ever again… I still remember the state I was after I woke up.” Leon said. ”My legs and arms were bent to wrong directions, and I barely could move any muscle without screaming in pain.”

”Ah... please say no more, just by imagining, I have shivers,” Amanda said with a pale face. ”Four years alone... I don't think I could endure that for so long. Sorry for making you remember that.”
