Sophia looked at her brother blankly. "If you're talking about ssed up family, the Carson Family is not much better."
It was a family where the people could even kill each other even if it was through indirect moves. After all, for the sake of power and so on, they would not hesitate to put down other people.
Stephen was silent.
It was true.
The siblings were walking back to their temporary residence, each with their own thoughts. Sophia was still riding on Kaze while Stephen was walking beside her.
"Sophia, have you ever thought of leaving the Carson Family?" Stephen suddenly asked.
Sophia's mind, that was half thinking about Nicholas and half thinking about her own family, instantly co back.
She turned to look at her brother.
"Are you crazy?"
If Old Master Carson heard Stephen's words, there was no doubt that he would definitely co and make them suffer. There were more than 1001 ways for him to control them and to make sure they would listen to him.
The Carson Family was still firmly held in Old Master Carson's hand.
"I'm not," Stephen said calmly. "Father is weak and he will listen to Grandpa's words no matter what… but I don't want to."
Their father did try to protect them over the years but at the sa ti, he's also a filial child who wanted to listen to his father's words. This was sothing that Stephen had realized for a long ti and didn't know what to say.
After all, the relationship between Old Master Carson and his father is closer.
He couldn't really say anything to his father about this matter.
But Sophia is different…
"…I know you have so ideas on your own, but I don't have such plan," Sophia replied in a low voice. "Father will be sad."
If the two of them truly stood on the opposite side of the Carson Family, the one who suffered the most was definitely their father.
Sophia knew how much her father and brother loved and take care of her ever since she was young. So she didn't want either of them to get hurt.
The two of them were important family mbers for her.
If she had to see them sad and hurt, Sophia felt that she couldn't bear it either. Even though she couldn't do much, she hoped that they would always be fine.
Stephen looked at his sister's profile and was silent for a mont before saying, "I understand."
"Don't make the decision for your life based on my decision. I'm not a flower in a greenhouse, Brother."
The two siblings were looking at each other. At this mont, Stephen could see the solemnness within Sophia's eyes along with the determination within her eyes.
She might be weak, she might not be the best, but she has her own way to live her life.
The world had changed and she was no longer letting herself stay in the safest place like the greenhouse. The flower was brought outside to face the sun and rain, blooming amidst the harsh weather outside.
No, the weather was still well controlled and there were still rocks and other plants protecting it.
But it was no longer as tightly as it used to be.
It has the strength to bloom even if it was not so tightly protected.
"You're right." Stephen smiled faintly.
His sister had grown up.
To be honest, Stephen didn't really like seeing his sister like this. He could still rember the little girl who used to follow him from behind and often made a lot of troubles for him behind his back.
It was him who helped to clean up her sses.
But now, this girl is telling him that she didn't need him to continue covering up for her all the ti.
She could take care of herself.
"But I'll still take care of you as much as possible," Stephen said without hesitation.
No matter what, he didn't want to lose the privilege to love and care for his sister. Until the ti when they walked a completely different path, he will continue to be her brother and took care of her as much as possible.
Sophia blinked her eyes and lowered her head. "Don't be so hard on yourself, Brother. I want you to live a good life too."
Stephen chuckled. "Don't worry, I won't wrong myself."
He knew how to take care of himself and will not make things difficult for him.
"Good."
The two siblings ca to an agreent with each other.
As for the Carson Family…
That was sothing for them to deal with later.
But for now, they didn't want to worry about it.
…
While Stephen and Sophia were talking with each other on their way back, Alia basically dragged Arnold to the hospital and let the doctor treat him.
After seeing his condition, the doctor brought him to the ergency room.
Magic warrior's bodies were still the sa as ordinary human being. They were just stronger and more resilient, which was caused by their training and so on. In addition, they have mana in their body that would allow them to use various magical power.
But this didn't an that they would not die.
They were still ordinary human being and had human bodies with its limitation and so on.
Alia herself was dragged to be treated by the doctor.
She didn't realize that she herself was hurt by so scratches and burn due to the explosion. Arnold was close to the center of the explosion while Alia herself was at the periphery.
While the distance did give so leverage, it didn't an that she was completely unscathed.
"Doctor, I can use healing magic scroll…" Alia said when she saw the bandaid given by the doctor.
"It's better not to misuse the healing magic scroll." The doctor looked at Alia blankly. "There's a research that said that it's best for humans not to use the healing magic scroll too much because it will make them dependent on magic."
