Chapter 870: Chapter 55: The Female Warrior’s… Romance?_2
"Then, as a price I give up inheriting the position of leader of the ‘Hera Family.'”
"Do you know what you are talking about?”
Hera emphasized.
The anger from before had already disappeared, leaving only affirmation.
"I know.”
Hera’s tone remained calm, as if she had anticipated everything.
"I will inform our Mother.”
Hera hung up the phone after saying this.
Though Hera wanted to seem as usual, the speed of hanging up the phone at that mont was slightly faster, appearing sowhat… impatient.
Hera’s mouth twitched a bit, revealing an indescribable smile.
It had self-mockery as well as sarcasm.
And so… relief?
Then, this tenth heir of the ‘Hera Family’ stepped out of the room.
Unexpectedly, she saw Jason in the hallway.
She thought Jason should have left.
"I just heard you ntion what you owe , and I unconsciously listened for a while longer.”
Jason answered earnestly.
That was the truth.
Jason was very attentive to his food.
He had already left, but after hearing about 99 portions of food, he turned back.
However, this made Hera misunderstand sothing.
Hera looked up at Jason leaning against the wall.
At that mont, the setting sun’s lingering light from the window opposite perfectly shone on Jason, tinting his whole figure golden-red, especially the hockey mask, which glead brilliantly.
Hera was completely srized.
Jason bathed in the golden-red sunlight made Hera think of blood and fire.
That tall, brawny figure, bathed in blood and fire.
She seed to hear the charge.
She seed to hear the clash of battle.
She felt like she saw a warrior on the ancient battlefield, pressing forward relentlessly.
No matter what the enemy in front of him, no matter how many enemies, he always pressed forward.
Thump, thump, thump.
Hera’s heartbeat started to accelerate.
This, this was the warrior she longed for.
Different from previously out of re concern for offspring.
At this mont, Hera realized she might be experiencing what the books call ‘falling in love.’
Completely different life outlooks led Hera into a slightly sour-slling but gentle trap.
Her eyes shimred with tender gentleness like water.
Then, Hera beca sowhat bashful.
Although aesthetic tastes differ, so qualities are still the sa.
For example: when seeing soone you like.
Hera, who previously yelled about having children with Jason, now had her ears turning red.
"Ja, Ja, Jason, thank you.”
Hera stamred.
Then, Hera thought she looked sowhat disgraceful in this state. A warrior should not act like this.
She quickly added,
"Eldest Sister and Hera 2 are blood sisters, and Hera 2 has special Talent, able to inherit the whole family; it was prepared that way before I was born, but my birth disrupted everything.”
"I have a better Talent and I am younger, so people think I am more suitable.”
"But, such ‘suitability’ would inevitably plunge the ‘Hera Family’ into disaster.”
"So, I want to choose to give up — but as a warrior, giving up like this would just be too irresponsible!”
"Fortunately, your appearance, Jason, to fulfill our agreent, my giving up… doesn’t count as damaging my warrior’s honor, so I want to thank you.”
Hera explained.
Initially, because of nervousness, her words were jittery.
But later, Hera entered fully into the context.
Especially when saying ‘so people think I am more suitable,’ Jason could clearly see the self-mockery on Hera’s face.
Undoubtedly, this tenth heir of the ‘Hera Family’ understands what those people were after.
"Losa once said, ‘Hera Family’ mbers have muscles for brains.”
Jason said this.
He was utterly spontaneous.
The Hera before him didn’t seem like soone with just muscles in her brain.
On the contrary, she was smart.
Jason could assure that Hera’s resignation wasn’t just to prevent the entire ‘Hera Family’ from splitting but also to make people like Hera 1, Hera 2 owe her a favor.
Their attitude towards Hera would definitely improve vastly.
"Brains full of muscles?”
"Heh, I’ll rember him.”
Hera scowled in displeasure and said,
She naturally knew the outsider’s evaluation of the ‘Hera Family’.
It used to not matter.
But now?
She did not want Jason to hear these evaluations.
Without any thought, Hera ten began to explain,
"We act recklessly because our enemies do not require us to think; weaker in strength and influence, why should I contemplate? Righteous overwhelming crush is sufficient.”
"If the enemy is formidable, we would reflect, and might even utilize our ‘recklessness’ to let the enemy believe we will continue being reckless.”
"When warriors charge forward, they not only swing their long swords but also observe their surroundings.”
Hera ten spoke the family’s motto.
Upon hearing this, Jason did not object.
Nor did he dwell further on this issue; instead, he quickly headed downstairs.
Although the ‘Hera Family’ had been ‘notified’, and the chances of continuing the search were slim, not trying at all and just giving up was not Jason’s style.
From sunset until deep into the night,
Jason revisited six locations with lingering scents of Donna.
No gains whatsoever!
Similar to the previously searched locations.
All ‘spotlessly clean’, devoid of any traces.
"It’s their ‘habit’,”
"Make a slight error, and they abandon everything!”
"Otherwise, their ‘tails’ would have been caught long ago.”
Hera ten, walking by Jason’s side, said.
This was ant as a consolation.
Hera ten thought so.
Thus, Hera ten was a bit nervous.
Because this was her first ti comforting soone.
It was only after hastening her steps a little, slightly turning her head and glimpsing no change in Jason’s eyes did she finally breathe a sigh of relief.
"Habits are always exploitable!”
Jason stated.
Hera ten nodded, showing a smile of agreent.
Just as Hera ten was about to say sothing, her communicator vibrated.
From Hera one.
"Mother has approved your request.”
“99 ‘Ailong Spears’ will be delivered to District F at the fastest speed.”
"Also
"My birthday is approaching, and I, we hope you can co.”
Hera one was handling it formally at first, but eventually, she made an invitation.
"Okay.”
Facing such an invitation, Hera ten did not decline.
She hoped to nd the relationship with her elder sister.
Family is important.
Hera ten’s mouth revealed a slight smile.
"Donna’s accomplice has been confird; you can rest assured—she is a major Steward within our territory, and she started fleeing the mont our guards arrived at her house, and moreover, there were quite a few people aiding her.”
"Hera three and Hera four have started the pursuit.”
"They can’t possibly escape the ‘Hera Family’s’ territory!”
While Hera one said this, any awkwardness had disappeared, replaced only by coldness.
Regarding desertion, the ‘Hera Family’ would never tolerate it.
Hera ten felt the sa.
After asking in detail, the tenth heir of the ‘Hera Family’ was about to end the call, but at that mont, Jason suddenly interjected.
"Remind your elder sister to send more reinforcents.”
"What she is seeing.”
"Is just the tip of the iceberg.”
Hera ten paused montarily, but still relayed truthfully.
However, the result was not favorable.
"We, the ‘Hera Family,’ can handle our own affairs.”
Hera one said brusquely.
And with that, she bid farewell to Hera ten, ending the call.
"Jason, don’t misinterpret, my elder sister
"It’s okay.”
Jason shook his head indifferently.
He didn’t care about Hera one’s attitude towards him.
Because, at this mont, Jason had confird the second possibility he thought of in the evening.
That is…
