Chapter 185 - Life Always Throws A Curveball Whether You Like It Or Not



We were the only ones in the lift. 

This time, we\'d be on floor 45. \'The same floor, huh?\'

I really didn\'t want to see that woman again though. Though I had a feeling she\'d be waiting for me inside, just to get on my nerves. The woman was terrible. 

"So, now you can absorb all forms of energy? And are you the same one or did your conscience get corrupted or something?"

After all, if she was merging with the new core, it was possible she wasn\'t the same. 

I wasn\'t worried though. I was just trying to distract my mind. 

Enira giggled.. "Worrying for me?" She chuckled, came closer. "Don\'t worry, I\'m \'much\' stronger than most of the dragons. You see, at the time you killed me, I was severely weakened. And with this core, I\'m even stronger. Even if you got me a black core, I\'d be okay!" She pumped her chest and rubbed herself against my arm. And since they were so large, they almost bounced. 

I almost lost my sanity for a second.

\'She\'s not wearing any, is she?\'

She was severely weakened and still nearly killed me?

Wow. 

And also, wow indeed. 

"So, what are your current abilities?" I made her unhand me and stood in the corner. 

"Hmm?" The lift stopped. "Super healing, remote healing, barriers, warping, and absorption, I guess? Until I absorb the rest of my core I won\'t be able to use offensive abilities and you\'d only see a half-assed fire like that." 

"Warping?" All her abilities were kind of overpowered but warping?

The door opened. 

We both got out.

"Yes, though it\'s only partial warp- for now. I can only teleport to you, from anywhere in the world." She looked at me passionately. "Because our love is in-fi-nite!"

"You want me to punch you again?" Because I really wanted to. 

"With pleasure!" She closed her eyes and positioned herself. 

Okay, not anymore. 

I sighed and just walked. 

"Hey, no fair! Punch me!" 

Did this moron really realize what she was saying in front of so many people?

I really didn\'t want to deal with this thing but I had no choice. "No thanks."

My room was across the hall.

But just as we were about to pass to the other side, I saw two people I didn\'t want to. 

Sigh, it just had to be them. I kind of saw this coming but really hoped it didn\'t come to this. 

There were several people here but among them, only two caught my eyes. One was Alexandra and the other, her daughter, Alexia.

***

Alexandra grinned and went inside their room: I actually didn\'t expect that. But Alexia stayed behind. 

Her head was low and- and I regretted coming so fast to the hotel. Maybe I should have spent some time outside. 

"Something wrong?" Enira asked.

"Nothing." I took a deep breath. Didn\'t I always want to apologize and move on?

So why was I being afraid now?

I walked towards her. She didn\'t lift her head. 

Her hair was a bit redder than her mother\'s- enough to be called a redhead. Back then she was quite cute, but now I couldn\'t really tell. I did faintly see some black spots below her eyes though.

"Hey."

"Hello Helio." Her voice was slow and tiny. She clearly wasn\'t happy to see me. 

"Look about that- I\'m sorry."

She became quiet for a second. Then she looked up- Her eyes were amber in color and they were shimmering. She wasn\'t crying but her eyes- they really were shimmering. "You really think just a sorry is enough?" She didn\'t shout, she didn\'t whisper but her voice reached me. "He\'ll never be able to walk again!"

Instinctively I took a step back but Enira was behind me and she put her hands on my shoulder. She was glaring at the girl but didn\'t do anything. But just because Enira was here, I felt a bit better.

I took another deep breath. "I know it\'s not enough. But it\'s been six and a half years. The past is in the past. No matter how sorry we are no matter what we do, we can\'t change it. But- but I\'m trying to move forward. And I\'m not seeking your forgiveness either. It doesn\'t matter if you forgive me or not, but- I have a new life and I\'m going to live that life to the fullest." I stared at her. She couldn\'t believe my words. "But if you could bring yourself to forgive me, that\'ll make both our lives easier. Of course, that\'s your wish. That\'s all I wish to say, good day. Say hi to him for me. I\'ve said it before, I\'ll say it again. The whole thing happened because of your mother." I didn\'t want to say the last part but it kind of slipped from my mouth.

I turned around and moved forward. Our room was just at the end of the corner. 

There were people around us but they- they just ignored us. 

"HELIO!" The girl screamed. I looked back. "I haven\'t forgiven you and-" She glared. "And you will pay for what you did! I- I will make your wives and all your family pay just like you did to him! Even now you blame mother while you-"

I grinned and put up an evil face. "Bring it on." It was just a farce but- "This time I\'ll make sure he never opens his eyes ever again."

The girl shrieked and fell on her knees. She was always weak, and though she talked about making my life hard and all- in reality- she couldn\'t do anything. 

I almost pitied her. This oh, so ignorant girl who knew nothing.

"Let\'s get inside." 

I entered the key and we entered. 

***

"What was that about?"

Enira sat down on the bed. All her clothes vanished and she was completely naked. Not even underwear. 

"None of your concern."

This was a big room, and very luxurious just as the name suggested. It also had sister rooms: almost felt like an apartment.

I took off my shirt and went into the shower. I didn\'t even give Enira a second glance.

I turned on the shower and just let the water fall on me. Sigh. 

Keeping up all these farces was starting to get on my nerves.

Roughly six years ago, I had a certain incident in school that involved my little sister and some kids. 

Elsa got bullied. I lost my temper, nearly killed everyone around me and almost everyone ended up being crippled. At the time I was friends with Alexia.

Her younger brother used to be in Elsa\'s class. It was kind of a weird coincidence but the four of us often spent time together. 

Her mother used to treat me rather well, but I later learned that she was trying to get me close to her daughter so she could exploit the two of us and use my name. 

By some freak miracle, she got her two kids to make me promise to them that I wouldn\'t hurt their family- that I wouldn\'t hurt their mother: at the time I naively made promises. Of course, we still stayed friends, all four of us. 

But that wasn\'t all. Alexandra had planned a lot and she had the nerves to make her son try to kiss Elsa in front of everyone. She was probably going to make her son take responsibility after that- at least, that was my best guess.

Obviously, her son didn\'t know anything and was too young but- I was also young. 

While he was trying to kiss her, Elsa protested and one of the kid\'s friends got wet from Elsa\'s self-defense, and then everyone around her started to bully her. Alexia\'s brother included. They all made fun of her. 

One kid even had the gulls to try to cut her for fun. A streak of red ran through her cheeks. A very thin cut.

And I just coincidentally had to be walking by. Someone just minutes ago had suggested that I walk by these corridors to the library. 

In an instant, my blood boiled.

I\'d knocked out all the bullies but Alexia\'s brother- Brendon, him, I kept awake. I wasn\'t going to hit him, cause I knew he wasn\'t bad. But then- when I learned the truth and Elsa held my hand crying, something within me cracked. 

It was almost as though my whole body burned. 

I started by breaking all of Brendon\'s fingers and then his ankle and other bones: even his spine. By the time I was done, he\'d gone into a coma and there was no chance of him waking up in the course of five or six years. Even if he did, he wasn\'t going to be leaving a wheelchair: ever. At least not with modern medicine. 

Alexia blamed me, while I blamed her brother. 

At the time I didn\'t know that it was their mother who was the sole reason behind that whole thing. Perhaps she thought I\'d respond differently or perhaps there was some other motive to the stunt she\'d pulled but- I didn\'t know anything about it.

But that promise I\'d made- I wanted to keep it. Not because of keeping a promise, no, but because I punished the kid unfairly. It wasn\'t because mom slapped me and made me promise to not hurt anyone like that ever again, okay?

Okay!?

We immediately moved to England just the next day.
