Chapter 497

If we could rely on their help…

The younger sister seemed somewhat surprised.

"You plan to use this method?"

"But can this method really work? Can they help us with something like this?"

The elder sister said, "There's no other choice now."

"We can only try it."

"If it truly fails, then we'll have to confess to him."

"I think if I explain why I had to do this…"

"He would surely understand."

The younger sister shook her head and said.

"In the end, we still deceived him."

"I don't know if he can truly understand us."

"But I feel this is extremely risky."

The elder sister's expression grew weary.

She said, "I know that too."

"But we've come this far—there's no turning back now."

"We can only take it one step at a time."

"Tonight, I'll go check on the situation at the Hero Association."

The younger sister said.

"Then be careful, sister."

As she spoke, she extended her hand—her hand was also wrapped in bandages.

Luo En could see traces of blood seeping through them.

Clearly, her injuries were severe.

She trembled as she picked up her chopsticks with that wounded hand.

The elder sister stepped forward to help her.

But she refused her sister's assistance.

"It's fine."

"I can manage on my own."

She gave her sister a confident smile.

"I never imagined how strong these monsters have become."

"Could it really be true, as he claimed?"

"That these monsters have gained power to grow stronger?"

"They might be able to rapidly enhance their own strength."

"That's very bad news for us heroes."

"More brutal battles may come next."

"How can we possibly handle all of this?"

The younger sister struggled to swallow the soup—each swallow was difficult.

She said, "There's no choice."

"Since we've become heroes…"

"We must fulfill our duty as heroes."

"All we can do now is fight with all our strength."

"Whether we can defeat those monsters… is up to fate."

As she said this, she smiled confidently once more.

"I believe we can do it."

When Luo En heard these words from his younger sister…

He could no longer resent them.

These two sisters truly fought for humanity.

They were worthy heroes.

But Luo En still couldn't understand why they had deceived him.

There was no conflict of interest between him and them.

They had barely even met face-to-face.

Yet their actions left Luo En deeply confused.

Luo En desperately wanted to know the truth.

He decided to secretly follow his sister that night.

To see what she was truly planning to do.

That night, there was no moon in the sky.

It was pitch black—so dark you couldn't see your hand before your face.

This suited Luo En perfectly.

He darted out of the ward swiftly and hid beneath the flowerbed below.

Because the night was so dark.

So he hid here, and no one could find him.

Not long after.

Luo En saw his sister step out.

His sister was wearing loose clothing.

Black blended into the night.

Luo En crept silently behind his sister.

His sister walked quickly forward, glancing back occasionally.

Seeing no one following,

she let out a faint breath of relief.

Soon she arrived at the Hero Association.

She pulled out the communicator.

Sent a signal to one person.

Although Luo En was far away, his vision was extremely sharp.

He immediately recognized the name on the communicator.

It was Masked Sweetheart, the number one A-rank hero.

He hadn't expected his sister to know this person.

This surprised Luo En.

But then again, his sister was naturally sociable.

At least she had quickly bonded with Luo En before.

With her social skills, it was perfectly normal for her to know some A-rank heroes.

So although Luo En was initially surprised, he quickly adjusted his mindset.

Not long after.

A shadow flashed over.

Luo En also saw clearly.

It was Masked Sweetheart.

Masked Sweetheart arrived before his sister.

He gazed at her with mild confusion.

"Why did you call me here?"

His voice sounded cold, as if he weren't speaking to someone familiar.

Luo En couldn't tell what kind of relationship they had.
