Chapter 525 Aurora (1/2)
”You heard her. Even if you are my friend, they may not show you any face.” Han Xiao shook his head. Aurora was a kindhearted girl and would naturally be willing to help, but the same could not be said for Hila. This lass had a cold character and did not like bothering about other people's affairs. Furthermore, she was extremely protective of her sister and would probably stop her sister from agreeing.
Even though Hila owed him a favor, with her obstinate temper, she would not let her sister pay him back.
”That can't be right. It isn't too much to just get her to use her Esper abilities.” Herlous became anxious.
”There is a historical reason for this. Whenever her sister uses her Esper abilities, she has to exhaust her own life force. She once suffered from some miserable mishap before and thus is extremely sensitive to this matter.”
”You promised me.” Herlous refused to give up.
”Alright then, I shall ask for you.”
Han Xiao shook his head helplessly and walked forward to stop the two ladies.
The nose of the gigantic bear twitched. It could smell a familiar scent, and its green bean sized eyes were fixed on Han Xiao, unsure if Han Xiao was his former owner. Only when Han Xiao waved did the bear charge out excitedly and roll around in front of Han Xiao, revealing his belly for Han Xiao to rub.
”This bear has been brought up well by you.” Han Xiao stroked the bear's chin, and the bear's furry feeling was much better than Harmon's.
In this past, this bear could still be called a baby bear. Now that it was a few meters tall, Han Xiao could not call it a baby anymore.
”That's right, it grew up extremely quickly. Being by my side, my Esper abilities caused his life force to flourish.” Aurora smiled.
Stroking the bear's chin, Han Xiao suddenly mused, ”If that's the case, its meat quality should be great.”
The bear that was rolling on the ground suddenly froze in place as its ears shot up, feeling that something was wrong.
”Why did you stop us?” Hila asked.
Han Xiao then dragged Herlous out and said, ”This is Herlous, my comrade. In one of the battles, he was accidentally injured. If your eyes are sharp enough, you should be able to tell that he has a mechanical arm…”
Hila was completely speechless. ”Have you been using the standard of a blind person to judge others' eyesight?”
”I promised to treat his broken limbs and wish to ask Aurora for help.”
”Don't even think about it.” Before Aurora could even reply, Hila rejected Han Xiao.
Han Xiao's mouth began to twitch. ”You should at least pretend to consider…”
”You understand my sister; she is only able to restore the injuries of others at the expense of her own life force. In this world, I will only allow my sister to save a single person… that person is you.”
Hila suddenly paused for a while before adding, ”Don't think that our relationship is extremely good. It is just that we owe you a favor. Apart from you, we will not save anyone.”
Aurora's [Dawn of Life] gave her an incomparably exuberant life force, and her cells were capable of producing a special life force. The life force that Aurora had was just like a bucket of water, and healing a severe injury would only require a single drop.Find authorized novels in Webnovel，faster updates, better experience，Please click for visiting.
However, it was still her 'life force' being exhausted…
While Aurora was currently healthy, Hila would never allow her to waste her life force in such a manner.
Before Han Xiao could reply, Aurora interrupted, ”Sister, this is an extremely easy task for me, and I have always been the one being helped by others. I wish to do something for Black Star as well.”
”No,” Hila rejected flatly.
”Sister, you can't always make my decisions for me,” Aurora said helplessly.
”Why aren't you willing to listen to what I taught you? The kind will only be bullied in this world!” Hila said with exasperation. ”That was the case just now, and this happened again now. When will you be able to grow up a little? As long as there is a first time, all the injured people will come and find you. Are you going to always exhaust your life force to help them‽”
Han Xiao immediately became displeased. Why did it feel like this lady was scolding him?
Han Xiao immediately got Phillip to view through the surveillance record and briefly explain to him about the previous commotion outside the Sanctuary. The daily activities of the Sanctuary were controlled by Bennett, and Han Xiao could not be bothered to interfere with such small affairs. He only wanted to know the reason behind the two sisters' conflict.
In the past, both the sisters had been living in challenging conditions and could only rely on each other. Now that they had spent a couple of years living in peace and seeing each other every day, even if they were biological siblings, their characters could not be completely compatible. Thus, conflict was inevitable.
”Sis, why are you always exaggerating matters? I will naturally reject them when I don't wish to help,” Aurora said. ”Besides, Uncle Black Star helped us so much, and I want to repay him…”
”No means no!” Hila then glared at Han Xiao and growled, ”You are our benefactor, and we will definitely repay this favor. However, I hope that you will not think about touching my sister.”
Han Xiao was speechless. These words of hers made it seem as though he had some unscrupulous motives. She was truly too overprotective.
Looking at the two quarreling sisters, Herlous looked at Han Xiao and said helplessly, ”You were right. It is hopeless indeed.”
”Let's go.”
Just when the two of them were about to leave, Aurora suddenly raised her voice and said with a solemn tone, ”Sister, you will not be able to protect me forever, and I cannot be a little child who is forever protected. I sincerely request that you do not make my decisions for me.”
”No, your thinking is far too childish, and you don't know how to protect yourself at all.” Hila refused to budge.
”Why do you always want to change me‽” Aurora was angered for the first time, and a golden light flashed in her eyes. ”The kind of people I look down on the most are those who don't need help but mock those who are willing to help others. Only someone who went through despair will understand how much you hope for help during times of hopelessness. I know this feeling extremely well. During the nights when I needed help the most, I prayed for someone to save me time and time again, but the needle pierced into my veins over and over again without anyone ever stretching out their hands to me. Do you understand such hopelessness‽”
Hila had a face full of guilt. It was her carelessness that had resulted in Aurora being captured by the Germinal Organization and going through so much suffering. However, she had not been able to provide much aid and had only been able to save her sister because of Han Xiao's unexpected aid. Hila had always felt that she was a failure of a sister.
In the past, Aurora would never talk about the pain that she had gone through in front of her, and this was the first time that Aurora had blamed her. Hila was completely caught off guard and did not know how to respond.
