"And, you are seriously one heck of a bad boy." Sunny gave him a speechless look as she tried to get up from his embrace. Then, she looked around for a moment finally asking "Can I stay with you guys?"
"Of course, but what about him?" Saying so, Mike pointed his finger at Brian and slowly got up.
"Are we really taking him with us?" Sunny felt a little helpless. Although Mike and Brian were friends, their friendship has already ended. But, seeing Mike care about him made her a little helpless.
"Do I look like a cold-blood person to you?" Mike asked while pointing the finger at himself.
"No!" Sunny shook her head and immediately denied.
"That's why I am going to give him a Health Potion but I am not going to take him home," Mike said as he walked towards Brian. At this moment, Brian was still unconscious. Mike bent down and took out a purplish yellow potion from the system space and pour it into his body.
At the same time, Sunny walked towards Lucas with a complicated expression. Lucas was sitting on a rock while looking at the ruined buildings while she walked closer without making him notice.
"Do you hate me?"
Bang!
When these words fell on his ears, Lucas lost his balance and fell to the ground. He was stunned by the voice. He turned around and said, "No, you did what any elder brother or sister would do."
"That is really a profound sentence to say." Sunny spoke while getting closer. She also sat down near him. There was a trace of sadness on her face as she spoke "Do you know? When I was thirteen, I noticed that you liked me. At that time, we were really small so, I couldn't return the feeling."
"Later, I was no longer a person that could return the feeling."
She gripped her hand as her eyes started turning red. Her nails pinched her skin but tears didn't come out. Suddenly, Lucas stood up and said while looking away "Until yesterday, I never really recognize what it takes to be an elder brother/ elder sister."
"After elder sister became a cultivator, I thought our life will shine. We no longer have to strive to survive. Yeah, it happened. I got a new home, new life at school, new clothes, daily food, and almost everything that I wanted."
"But I never realized those things were coming under my sister's sacrifice for her cultivation. When I was small, I never realized what talent means. I thought my sister is cultivating very fast. But, when I saw my brother's breakthrough and their joy, I thought I missed something."
"A-Rank Talent! Six years, after six years, my sister is only a general. She was supposed to be a genius but she was treated like an average in the academy. I thought we were living a happy life but it turns out only I was living the life that I wanted. And, my sister was making that life for me."
"I never realized how much she has sacrificed for me and my brother. Then, I looked back and saw thought about you. Just like my sister, you did everything you could do for your siblings. You were the reason they survived. You sold yourself. I thought you were a slut."
"But I was wrong. You never were. Because you had a weight that you needed to carry. I thought I could hate you for breaking my heart. But can I?"
Hearing his words, a line of tears slides down her cheeks. She wanted to cry but she had enough of crying. She cried at her kitchen, bed, toilet, prostitute, and school, everywhere she went. She didn't want to cry more.
"D—Do you still love me?"
"No!" Hearing her words, Lucas shook his head with a heart-wrenching pain and denied. A single word broke two hearts. Both couldn't speak for a long time. Until Mike arrived and saw them in a strange environment.
"Hey, so you two didn't get together, did you?"
"No!" Hearing his question, both of them shouted at the same time.
"That's good. We need to let go of our past and make the great future doing something awesome in present." Mike nodded his head and spoke with a profound tone. Hearing his words, both of them rolled their eyes. And, Lucas asked, "What were you two discussing?"
But Mike completely ignored him and looked at Sunny, asking her "Do you think you would need a male manager?"
"Puff!" Sunny instantly laughed while turning her head at Lucas. She slowly walked towards him making Lucas tremble a little. Her hand moved to shove its way to his lower part. She didn't move inside and slightly pressed it from outside, asking "If you ever need someone to break your virginity, remember to call me first."
Lucas blushed after hearing her words. He hurriedly walked slapped her hand and retreated few steps. Sunny looked at his blushing face and giggled. Finally, she looked at Mike and shook her head saying "I don't need a male manager. I have some contacts. I can manage it on my own if you can provide me enough funds."
"Hehe! That's good to hear. For the fund, I can give as much as you want for now. Because I would need a lot for the future." Mike gave her a thumbs up and spoke with a burst of laughter.
"What are you guys talking about?" Lucas was very confused since he didn't hear them. He didn't know what he was missing.
"Only if you ever break his virginity, you can tell him." Mike pointed his finger at Lucas while looking at Sunny and instructing her.
She nods her head with a mischievous smile and the three of them moved towards the supermarket.
Thud! Thud! Thud! Thud! Thud!
"Mike, what's that sound?" Lucas heard heavy footsteps and asked Mike with seriousness on his face. They had only moved a few hundred meters. And, he didn't want to face a horde of monsters right now.
"Mike, what did you do? Why is the horde of monsters rushing towards Brian?" Sunny screamed as she saw the horde of monsters rushing towards the ruined house. These monsters were the same as that baseball gloves-faced monster.
"Of course, I am gathering the monsters at one place. Do you think we could walk out of here after killing one of their members?" Mike didn't even bother looking at her as he spoke.
"I didn't expect you to be so cold-blooded." Sunny gasped as she saw the horde of monsters getting bigger and bigger as more monsters were attracted towards the house.
"Who are you calling ruthless? I just saved your life. And because I have brought Lucas with me, I also needed to save his life. You are calling me ruthless when I could literally run away after learning about the horde of monsters that was rushing towards us."
"More importantly, we are not going back right now. We are searching for food. This war will go on for two weeks or more. And, we need supplies. I cleared the road for us because certain someone is a first rank soldier." Mike glared at Sunny and yelled. There was a hint of anger in his eyes when he spoke.
"Okay, okay, you did everything correct. You are saving us from a battle against the monster. You are not a cold-blooded person, okay." Sunny felt helpless not understanding why he got so serious all of a sudden.
"You know, it hurts my heart when someone calls me cold-blooded. Only I know how much of a caring and lovable person I am." Mike whispered with a trace of depression in his eyes. He sighed while looking at the purplish dark sky.
"Fuck you!" Hearing his words, Lucas's face twitched. He lifted his middle finger and cursed him while running.
"But, I don't understand one thing. Why would you need to gather such a large horde of monsters in one place? Although they have numbers, you and I aren't weak. Especially against these monsters. You could have easily protected Sunny while I could clear the path." After cursing him, Lucas instantly asked with confusion on his face.
He knows Mike was the reason why Brian couldn't move. But he didn't understand. Did he plan all this or it was simply a coincidence? Mike made his move without telling him anything. At first, he thought Mike was randomly doing this.
"Those monsters are known as Genderless Monsters. They neither possess dick nor vagina. They are just a ball of energy. These monsters are used for mass slaughter. Because these monsters are just a bunch of energies. Once they die, they return back to Hell."
"Since the energy can't be killed, they can be used again after few months of rest. In other words, they are almost immortal. But they are made in such a way that they attack weak. If three of us were to face them, they would only attack Sunny and try to kill her before moving to the next target."
"Since we couldn't let Sunny die, I mixed Nether Energy with Health Potion. If you have a proper technique, you can collect the Nether Energy from these monsters after killing them. These monsters are highly attracted towards Nether Energy, especially a Nether Energy that is merged with the human aura."
"In short, I exchanged a life of the person that is not important to me with the life of a person that is important to me."
