Chapter 496

Wait until you've rested.

You've recovered everything.

You can keep fighting.

Her sister seemed to smile with joy.

But she was wrapped entirely in bandages, so it was impossible to tell it was a smile.

She nodded heavily at Luo En.

"Don't worry.

Once my wounds heal, I'll go back to fighting.

I won't let monsters bring harm to the world."

Luo En nodded and sat down on a chair.

He said to his sister.

"You're truly a very brave girl.

You can become a true hero.

I admire you."

After speaking, he smiled at the girl.

As if infected by Luo En's smile,

the girl's face began to show more smiles.

No longer as despondent as before.

The elder sister was overjoyed by this change.

She believed her younger sister had broken free from yesterday's terror.

Luo En spent the entire afternoon in the ward.

He chatted happily with the younger sister.

The younger sister's thoughts were very simple.

Like a child untouched by the world.

So their conversation was filled with only very simple things.

But Luo En enjoyed chatting with such a girl.

It gave him a sense of childish innocence.

By evening, the younger sister felt very tired and needed rest.

So Luo En took his leave.

He stepped out of the room.

The elder sister said to Luo En.

"Thank you so much today.

Without you, I truly wouldn't know what to do.

She's been in low spirits all along.

I've said many things to comfort her, but none worked.

Your arrival today instantly changed her mind.

You're truly remarkable."

Luo En said, "It's nothing.

Among friends, why thank each other? I'll come again tomorrow.

Spend more time with her; her emotional block will soon dissolve.

Then she'll be a brave warrior again."

As he said this, Luo En smiled at the elder sister.

"Don't worry too much. Go rest early."

The elder sister nodded, watching Luo En's retreating back, a faint smile rising on her lips.

Luo En did not truly leave.

He always felt the sisters' words were half-truths.

Part of it clearly hid something from him.

So after leaving the elder sister's sight, he slipped back into the ward.

He wanted to see what exactly the sisters were hiding from him.

Luo En moved through the ward like a ghost.

With his current speed,

no one in the ward could detect him.

Even the surveillance cameras failed to capture his figure.

Moments later, he had quietly hidden inside the younger sister's room.

Soon, the elder sister entered carrying food.

Seeing her elder sister enter,

the younger sister immediately sat up.

She asked anxiously,

"Where is he? Did he leave?"

The elder sister nodded and placed the food tray before the younger sister.

"Quick, eat it while it's hot."

The younger sister let out a long breath.

"That was close—we almost got caught."

The older sister frowned.

"It's your own fault for letting it slip—why would the Hero Association send a message to us alone? That's obviously easy to spot."

You can tell he's sharp—he doesn't fully believe what we said."

"He'll investigate soon too."

The younger sister also frowned.

"Then what do we do? The Hero Association never sent us any message."

"Once he goes to the Hero Association, he'll find out the truth."

The older sister sighed and looked elsewhere in the ward.

The other patients were all unconscious—none had noticed anything.

This ward held many critical patients.

Most were in comas.

And after receiving their IV drips, these patients were already drowsy.

So they weren't worried their words would be overheard.

"Just eat. After you eat, we'll discuss it further."

"I have some ideas—by then, we should be able to resolve his doubts."

Luo En hid in the shadows, hearing every word clearly; at first, he felt anger upon realizing the two sisters were deceiving him.

But soon, he grew puzzled.

He had little interaction with the two sisters normally.

Except for that one time they met.

They rarely exchanged more than a few words.

Why were these sisters plotting against him? What were they really after?

Hearing her sister say this, the younger sister grew curious.

She asked, "What exactly is your plan? Tell me now."

The older sister said.

"Tonight, I plan to go to the Hero Association."

"Though I'm only a C-rank hero."

"But I still know a few A-rank heroes."
