Duan Jingli pursed his lips and hesitated to answer but Duan Jia Xu did not need an answer. He clutched Duan Jingli by his arms and stated coldly, "Duan Wen is our sister but even she would not think twice before using our bodies and talents to gain a better deal for her company."
"Even if we only share half of the blood with her, we are still family. But has she ever cared for us?"
"N—-No," Duan Jingli answered with a slight tremor in his voice. Duan Wen was not only selfish but she was really cruel to them as well. Even though there were many things that Duan Jingli did not understand, there was one thing that he learned under his half-sister.
It was —— if you are useless, you do not deserve to be treated as human.
Duan Wen not only said those words but she sternly practiced those words on the two brothers. She wouldn’t let them eat a single al if they did not work.
And if they made the smallest mistake, they would be locked in the warehouse for more than a week or two with only a piece of stale bread and water handed to them on any random day.
No matter whether they were sick or injured they needed to clean, cook and serve Duan Wen and her father.
"That’s right," Duan Jia Xu continued to hold Duan Jingli tightly in his arms. He said to his little brother, "Even our own family doesn’t treat us well. So how can you believe that Miss Luo will treat us nicely? She is just a stranger to us and has no obligation to take care of the two of us."
"She is not even our guardian, thus if we die she will not face any consequences."
Duan Wen was their guardian and even though she hated them she could not kill the two brothers according to the law of the hunter association.
But Luo Huian did not have the sa qualms, if she wanted to kill them then could kill them with a flick of her fingers and no one would bat an eye.
"But Sister Huian is nice, she——-"
"You do not understand, Jingli!" Duan Jia Xu felt exasperated when he saw how his brother was still singing praises of Luo Huian. "That woman was once an evil woman, do you think that she would turn nice all of a sudden? I bet there is so trap waiting for us."
"So instead of falling from one fire pit into another, we might as well run away from this place. This is an excellent chance, neither Duan Wen nor our stepfather can stop us."
"The two of us…we will run away from this city and start a new life sowhere else."
At that mont, Duan Jia Xu who was anxious and desperate felt that anywhere was better than this city. Even if he had no money, he might still be able to live a decent life in soplace where there was no one who knew him and his brother.
Duan Jingli wanted to say sothing more but when he saw the expression on the face of his brother, he didn’t bring up his concerns. He sighed and agreed, since his brother wanted to run away then he might as well run away with him.
Though he felt apologetic towards Luo Huian, what could he do? His brother was much more important.
So the two brothers carefully planned their escape, in the night Duan Jia Xu said to Doctor Si that he wanted to take a short walk in the garden of the hospital.
Though Doctor Si felt a bit hesitant, she still agreed as it would do so good to Duan Jia Xu if he were to walk outside in fresh air.
What was more Duan Jia Xu looked so depressed and anxious like a cornered rabbit who was trapped in a cage that she could not help but sympathize with him.
Just like Duan Jia Xu, even Doctor Si felt that there was sothing wrong with Luo Huian’s desire to keep Duan Jia Xu next to her.
After all, Duan Jia Xu was beautiful and he was also an F-rank hunter, if Luo Huian wanted him to do sothing unscrupulous, this r might not be able to refuse her.
So, she didn’t stop him from going outside and asked him to take his ti.
And Duan Jia Xu indeed took his ti. One hour, two hours and three hours later he did not return to his ward.
Doctor Si was afraid that he might have fainted sowhere and asked one of the guards to bring him back.
However, when the guards went to look for Duan Jia Xu, they realised that he was not in the garden!
In fact, he was not in the hospital itself!
"What did you say?!" When Doctor Si heard that Duan Jia Xu was not in the hospital her head swooned.
This r was especially brought to the Heavens Knights Guild by Luo Huian. She even asked her to keep a good eye on Duan Jia Xu.
However, now the guards were telling her that Duan Jia Xu was gone.
"I trusted that r and he lied to !" Doctor Si felt inexplicably betrayed by Duan Jia Xu. When the r asked her to let him walk alone in the garden, she agreed because she pitied him.
Who would have thought that the r would run away and even take his little brother away with him?
"Doctor Si…what should we do now?" The guards asked foolishly. They were all C-rank hunters but they were fooled by a little r. It was really embarrassing.
Doctor Si was also hopping mad at that mont. She truly wished she could turn back ti and strap Duan Jia Xu to his bed.
She showed him rcy and kindness and yet this r fucked her over!
She was not going to forget this betrayal ever in her life!
"What can you do?" Duan Jia Xu was gone, there was nothing else to do but to look for him!
"Start searching for him….and …." Doctor Si closed her eyes and pinched the bridge of her nose. "Contact Luo Huian. We need to tell her about this as well."
