Chapter 152: Healing Hands

Capital of Unity, not far from Cross Mansion,

An ambulance parked in front of the alloy gates and a person in a black suit walked out of the CCTV room. He was holding a gun, and from the look of it was filled with high-quality bullets. He raised the nuzzle to aim at the ambulance's engine. With any mishap, he would blast the vehicle in pieces.

There there. You are not gonna shoot your buddy me, right, Uncle Serzen? Merlin walked out of the ambulance with his hand in the air, and with a playful smile on his face.

Cross, why do you expose your hideous face to me? Begone, before I burn my eyes. Guard, unlike his stern tone, smiled as he talked with Merlin. Miles also walked out of the ambulance with the little girl in his embrace.

If it isnt Miles. It has been years since I last saw you and you have already become an adult. Serzen looked at Miles and walked to slap him on his shoulder, but because of the girl in his embrace, he could only slowly pat him.

Hello, Uncle Serzen. How have you been? Miles asked. Serzen used to work for his father, then when one of the criminal organizations tried to kidnap Uncle Gordon, his father let Serzen guard Gordon instead. He has been with Gordon ever since.

All good, all good. Serzen said and asked, Who is the young lady?

A kidnapped girl. We found her with several others, but her condition wasnt good. Miles wanted Uncle Gordon to heal her. Is he in? Merlin explained.

He is inside. Go ahead. Serzen said and opened the door with his wristwatch.

Arent you going to call and ask if he is available? Miles asked shyly. It has been some time since he saw Uncle Gordon last time, and didnt want to disturb him.

As if I would reject you from my door, you little brat. A voice heard from the speaker at the door.

It was strange indeed. It shouldnt have taken you longer than a second to heal the girl with your level. But it took more than a minute. Merlin said, holding his chin.

What is wrong? Miles asked anxiously. Was something wrong with the girl? But she looked better already. Her complexion looked better and she looked healthier.

Nothing is wrong, Gordon said with excitement.

When I started to heal her, most of the healing energy went into her body and disappeared. At first, I thought I must have made a mistake, but later I realized %90 of the energy I use disappears somewhere in her body. Only later I understood that she has a space element allowing her to store the energy that I send in her body.

It is probably related to how she had grown up. Because of poorness, she must have grown up stashing food, water, or other things to use later. And unknowingly, she kept most of my healing energy so she could use them later to heal herself if she needed it.

What Gordon said dropped like a bomb into the room. Miles looked at the girl with a dumbfounded expression, Merlin on the other hand looked excited. Space element was too rare. Even among the billions of people living in Unity, only a handful of them had it. The number wouldnt exceed ten. But now, a random girl they saved from underground, turned out to have the space element. He couldnt let this girl go, no matter what.

But Merlin wasnt a villain either. His greed was limited to orthodox ways, like beguiling her with richness and whatnot.

Miles, since she is healed now, what plans do you have? Merlin asked. Gordon understood the gravity of the matter. He kept quiet and let it play in front of him.

I dont know. She is old enough to decide for herself. So, I will let her choose. Miles said. He wasnt naive, on the contrary, he had experienced enough to see the crux of the matter. He knew the military would salivate over the girl.

Hell, if other big families knew her powers, they would do whatever in their powers to steal her for themselves. But Miles wouldnt let this happen if the girl didnt choose to go herself. He deliberately said he would let her choose, so Merlin wouldnt be stingy with his offer. After all, the girl was still small, and even if Merlin offered a little, the girl might have agreed to it.

Wonderful. Lets ask her then. Merlin smiled and talked to the girl. But before he could speak, the girl turned to look at Miles and said, I want to live with you.
