Chapter 229

Saying is saying.

But...

After Jane finished this sentence, her footsteps didn't move at all, as if she were stuck in place.

Hawk saw this and was immediately amused.

"Don't dare?"

"No."

Jane shook her head, looked at the sealed Aether, and then looked at Hawk.

"You just said this thing was sealed by Thor's grandfather Bor?"

"Yes."

"The reason Thor's grandfather Bor sealed this thing back then was because this thing is very dangerous, right?"

"... Yes."

"Then I definitely won't go."

Jane spread her hands, as if she had made some kind of decision, and looked at Hawk: "You want me to help you get such a dangerous thing; that's impossible."

Hawk raised an eyebrow, looking at Jane.

Their eyes met.

Jane's expression was firm; looking at Hawk's eyes was no different from looking at a villain, her face full of a look of being ready to die for a cause.

If she didn't know, that would be one thing.

But now that she knew this thing was sealed by Thor's grandfather back then, it went without saying that it must be some kind of bad thing with extremely strong destructive power.

How could she possibly let this bad thing come out again.

However...

Jane paused, meeting Hawk's gaze, and said: "But thank you for your honesty. You could have lied to me, but you didn't."

"You're welcome." Hawk smiled slightly, didn't speak again, and just cast his gaze back onto the Aether in front of him.

A gentleman has things he will do and things he will not do.

Admittedly.

He could indeed have lied to Jane just now, using Jane to achieve his own goal.

But...

Deception is like murder; there are only zero times and countless times.

If one uses such base means of deception too much, one will sooner or later become a base person oneself.

With Hawk and Jane falling silent, for a time, the place of sealing became deathly silent again.

Jane looked at the motionless Hawk, opened her mouth, seemingly wanting to say something, but after thinking about it, she closed her mouth again.

After a while.

Jane looked at Hawk, who was still motionless, and finally couldn't hold back.

"Um..."

"That thing pulled you in; if we don't let it out, we can't go back."

Hawk listened to Jane's voice, which she finally couldn't hold back, smiled inwardly, interrupted directly, and said to Jane: "This is the only way at present."

Jane caught the keyword.

"At present?"

"Yes."

Hawk nodded: "If you don't want to use this method, you can also wait, wait until I am sure I can resist God King Bor's seal and take that thing out, then we can also go out."

God King Bor's sealing device is certainly powerful.

But...

He is dead after all, and this sealing device has been here for who knows how many years; the thunder power God King Bor left inside has also weakened quite a bit.

Actually, if Hawk were to open his Little Universe fully right now, with the Phoenix Cloth on his body, he could resist God King Bor's seal and take the Aether away.

But he would be injured.

Very heavily injured.

After all, he hasn't even mastered the Sixth Sense right now, and his Little Universe is currently at most at the level of a Silver Saint entry.

And even if he risked heavy injury to take the Aether, it would be useless.

Don't forget.

The effect of Infinity Stones is certainly infinitely powerful, but the side effects of Infinity Stones are also quite powerful.

Not to mention anything else, just take the Reality Stone in front of us.

This thing will absorb the user's life force; if your life force is a bit weak, this thing will instantly suck you dry.

Even if he risked heavy injury to get the Aether, he reckoned that the Aether would probably just have been obtained, and in his heavily injured state, he reckoned that just as he was about to realize his Little Universe, the Aether would have sucked his life force dry.

But if he completely pushed open the door of the Sixth Sense, it would be different.

He is sure that after completely pushing open the door of the Sixth Sense, he would be able to pass through God King Bor's seal without injury and take the Aether away.

Jane listened to this sentence of Hawk's and frowned.

"Then how long would that take to wait?"

"Ten months, maybe."

Hawk said casually.

How would he know how long it would take to completely push open the door of the Sixth Sense; this thing relies on inspiration.

Just like when he fought the Demon Hulk on the African grasslands before, didn't he also have a flash of inspiration in the battle, knocking open a corner of the Sixth Sense portal and realizing flight!

Hawk thought in his heart.

Jane listened to this answer and couldn't hold it together.

"How long?"

"Ten months, maybe longer, can't say for sure."

Hawk glanced at Jane, who had widened her eyes, and smiled: "Are you in a hurry?"

Jane was bewildered.

"Aren't you in a hurry?"

"Not in a hurry."

Hawk shook his head, his gaze looking back at the sealed Aether: "I came here just for it; before I get it, I won't leave."

Jane fell silent.

After a while.

Jane also looked at the sealed Aether, took a deep breath, and the footsteps that had been like they were welded to the spot slowly moved forward a bit.

Hawk, who had been watching her with the corner of his eye, saw this scene and smiled slightly inwardly.

The reason he hadn't lied to Jane just now, besides not wanting to be so base, was for this moment.

Because he had no need to lie at all.

After all, the only way out was to unseal the Aether.

So...

Rather than using deceptive means, it was better to frankly tell Jane the facts and let Jane make the decision herself.
