Chapter 140 – Hey Friend, Have You Heard of ‘Siscon’? (40)
The figure half-squatted down and lifted the little boy, his eyes carrying both pity and sarcasm. “Did you hear that? This place is about to be destroyed. General here is giving you a chance. Flatter me… and we’ll take you with us. How about that?”
The tone was teasing and vulgar, with the force in his hands increasing.
The little boy, already in pain and unable to speak, struggled to lift his hand. There was a hatred in his eyes that he couldn’t conceal, his hoarse shouts filled with resentment, as he fiercely grabbed at the man’s wrist.
“What a pity,” the man chuckled softly. He easily restrained the little boy, then with a flick of his arm, effortlessly threw the frail boy aside. The boy’s forehead collided with sharp furniture, crimson blood seeping out. “Since it’s like this, then you can perish with this star system. Alright, we’ve found what we need, and everything’s done. Let’s go.”
The group left swiftly, and after a while, the little boy managed to stand up unsteadily. His eyes were rimmed with red, hands clenched tightly, teeth biting down hard. Two tears fell uncontrollably, then he tightly suppressed them.
Yan Luo watched as the boy slowly, somewhat unsteadily, walked over to the body of the older boy who had died long ago. He struggled to use the surroundings to cover the corpse.
He bit his lip tightly, refusing to cry anymore. There was a towering hatred in his eyes and a slowly growing emptiness in his pupils.
The body of the child covered, the little boy slowly moved his feet, walking towards the outside.
It was unknown how long he walked, the sound of quantum cannons becoming louder and more intense. Eventually, the boy collapsed, and at that moment, an airship seemed to detect signs of life here and flew towards him.
“Is it because of these…” Yan Luo’s eyes were already filled with tears, she turned her head to look at Lu Buchi, her expression unclear, “so, did Elder Brother hate the Empire so much because of this? Who was that person?”
That beastly Imperial General.
Lu Buchi didn’t answer, his gaze fixed directly on Yan Luo’s small face.
Yes, she was right. For so many years, he had been thinking about this one thing—revenge.
All his efforts, everything, was for this purpose.
But, the belief of a lifetime, revenge, was suddenly shaken and slowly crumbling just now.
He couldn’t bear anyone touching this little girl in his arms.
He had to stop, couldn’t use the methods he used before… he regretted it, he used to think he could harden his heart a bit more, but how could he… she was Yan Luo, the only light in his life.
As long as he let go of her, beneath would be an abyss of ten thousand feet. Already feeling the light, immersed in warmth, how could he willingly return to darkness? So absolutely, absolutely… he couldn’t let go…
Lu Buchi didn’t continue this topic. He lifted his finger slightly, wiping away the tears from Yan Luo’s eyes, his tone gentle and light, “Why are you crying?”
Tears slowly overflowed from the corners of Yan Luo’s eyes, more and more flowing, impossible to wipe away completely.
“Because you’re not crying…” Clearly so sorrowful, yet in the end, he endured it… If crying could make you feel better, can I cry for you? “Does it hurt a lot?” That wound… Her small hand trembled slightly as it reached towards his forehead.
His reaction back then was so intense, so his emotions were like that at the time.
Her small hand paused in the air, eyes filled with heartache.
